I must first start this message to you with a big Thank You!!! Thank you for providing an environment that helped me change my life. I could not have made these life changes without the constant support, encouragement and follow-up from you and all the trainers at Punch. Even when I didn’t believe that I could do the new exercise or use a heavier weight, Chris and his staff certainly believed that I had the ability and constantly encouraged me to keep trying. And to my amazement, I could do all those things and more!

I must admit that I was a bit intimidated about attending a program called “Boot Camp” and almost quit before I started. I even emailed Chris to express my reservations about not being able to complete the program since I was so overweight and incredibly out of shape. But Chris politely entertained all my concerns and even offered to refund my money. But he also ended his email with the following comment, “if you aren’t ready to change…” and that comment is what truly convinced me that this was the right program for me! I was so ready to change, but was afraid of one more failure.

Attending Boot Camp was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made when it comes to fitness and making the right lifestyle changes for me. Not only have I NOT FAILED, I’ve lost over 20 pounds, lost 6% body fat, lost a tremendous amount of inches and gained so much muscle. I still don’t believe the changes in my body and am excited to have dropped two sizes as well. I started the program not being able to do one sit-up and now I do lots of them with a 20 pound weight!

I am not the same person I was when I started this program. Besides the physical changes, I have so much more energy, sleep very well and wake up before the alarm clock. I plan my day around my work-out class and do whatever I can to attend my session. I am constantly thinking about getting the appropriate amount of nutrition and have stopped thinking about being on a diet. I have embarked on a lifestyle change and have embraced it whole-heartedly!

After completely my last Boot Camp session, I have decided to join Punch Kettlebell Gym as a member. I have a long way to go and am excited about having all the staff behind me as I continue my journey!

So thanks again to: Chris, Katie, Christen, Karen, JJ and Matt!! I could not have done any of this without your support!

As many people do each January, I found myself thinking about joining yet another gym to work out and get back in shape.  I was focusing solely on the exercise component until I read an ad for Punch Gym that described the changes I was looking for as 80% nutrition, 10% genetics and 10% exercise.  I signed up for the Body Balance Challenge and began attending nutrition classes and Boot Camp classes in February.  I became a little frustrated after the first few weeks because I wanted the results to happen immediately.  With the support of Chris and his nutrition coach, Teresa, I learned to follow the program, set small goals each week and stay consistent with my nutrition and exercise.

Ten weeks later, I had lost 10 pounds and I felt better than I have in years.  I have so much more energy!

We all talk about how busy we are and I am no exception.  I am the wife of a husband who works shift work, a mother of a 13-year old son and 10-year old daughter who play sports almost year round and I have a demanding career.  I have learned to be creative with my time and find time to work out, shop for the right foods and to prepare them for week so I can stay on track.

I can’t thank Chris and the staff at Punch Gym enough for their commitment to me.  This place truly has all of the tools you need to succeed under one roof!

My experience with Punch is too wonderful for words! I was blessed to have found Punch in an extremely depressing time in my life. At the heaviest weight that I have ever been at and stuck in a position when the economy had fallen I had met such an inspiring person who sparked the fire that has changed my life forever!

My life has changed because of Punch! The experience is like no other, it’s not just exercising, it’s everything from learning how to eat all over again to digging deep into the soul and figuring out how my life got to where I hit “rock bottom”. The 20 weeks that I have spent at Punch I have pushed through pain, jumped over obstacles, and physically/mentally healed. I’m 36lbs lighter and would have never achieved this without Punch at my side 100%. I’m half way there and now know I will be successful through the tools that Punch has taught me. It’s not about numbers on the scale. It’s about the quality of life. The transformation and confidence is the ending result and it’s the best investment I have made in my life!

My experience with Punch never gets old or boring!  From the workouts to reading your blogs day in and day out every single bit of it is all worthwhile!  From the beginner level to where I’m at in my fitness level now everything gained at Punch is beneficial.  It’s so much more than a good workout, it’s all the necessary tools to living a high quality life.

The owners, trainers, and nutritionist are truly there to make differences in people’s lives that have lost themselves in life. They are all motivational and inspiring people and are willing to pick you up after you have fallen. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful team!

Being a older gal……Without hesitation, I would refer anyone of any age to contact Punch Kettlebell for it was a very positive experience for me. The professionalism level was impressively high from the attention to determine very individual motivation and goals setting to the extensive education and support. With each step, it is apparent that you are being monitored, measured, trained and encouraged by an owner and staff that really know the business of health and fitness training. Really Caring about “doing it right” and producing results were evident throughout every part of the process. I enjoyed the challenge and felt that not even a minute of time was wasted while I was participating in the boot camp. I developed the utmost respect for how this gym is managed and operated, wanting to also mention what a great blend of serious but also warm and friendly atmosphere can be found there. You can’t help but to be inspired and enjoy the ride — I am very grateful for the experience.

AWESOME! This program is definitely for people who have lost themselves over the years and for those who are wanting to make the EFFORT to get themselves back again not only for their families but most importantly for themselves!

I made excuses about not being fully committed for months! This is very common for people like me to do. “I’m going to start on a monday”, “I’m going to start after the holidays”, etc…and than you prolong it until you never do it! So, with the motivation of friends I finally did it! The program is a tool that will change the way you live your life! It’s a lifestyle!

Awesome! I wish I could continue the 5 day a week sessions indefinitely. I not only lost a few pounds and inches, but I felt better than I had in years! Try it, and I guarantee you will like it. I remember watching the class before my first session and thinking, “I could never do that”! Before you know it, you are not only doing what you thought you could never do, but exceeding your expectations.

Thank you so much for all the thought and time you have put into your program. It has changed my life. Your program is amazing, my body is loving you.

You know I have to tell you that when I first started at the gym you said that people are motivated to work hard because they know you are watching and they don’t want to have to face you if they slack off. Well, when I heard you say that I thought to myself, ha, not me. I don’t care what anybody thinks. But, turns out you were right. I am working hard partly because I don’t want to let you down.

I can see that you are truly invested in each one of us reaching our goals and really making changes in our lives. Your message is not just selling exercise, but getting people to see the whole picture. When you said that diet is 90% responsible for our success I was really impressed. I mean you basically said that if we don’t follow the correct way of eating, and add cardio, then we may as well quit working out because we will see little or no improvement. For a gym owner to say that I thought to myself, wow, this is the real thing.

I hope you know how much I appreciate your passion and investment in supporting me. I tell you because I don’t want you to give up on me! For 20 years I have never found a program that works. I guess I am afraid that somehow this new me is going to leave and I will be back to where I was…
