My husband Joe actually discovered Breakthrough Fitness for me.
He was at Core Physical Therapy with our daughter, and heard laughter and fun happening next door.
He walked over and spoke with Chris about what was going on, and Chris explained the philosophy of Breakthrough.
He knew that I would love it here, and had Megan call me at work. He called and said, “I need you to talk to this lady.”
I was super busy and said it wasn’t a good time. He insisted, so I spoke to Megan and we set up a time for me to come in and speak to Chris
My husband was so insistent because he knew I was struggling with my weight loss journey.
I knew what needed to be done, but I didn’t make myself a priority.
When I met with Chris, he explained what Breakthrough was about, and that the focus wasn’t only on one’s physical health, but emotional, psychosocial and spiritual health.
This truly resonated with me, and I signed up.
When he asked me how many days – 2 or 3, I chose 3. When he asked me what time, I chose 5:00am!
What? Who am I?
I knew that if I was going to make a change, I had to be all in!
My absolute favorite part is that they don’t just focus on my physical well-being, but my emotional and psychosocial being as well.
Taking in the whole person – body, mind, and spirit has been the game changer for me.
I had been on numerous weight loss programs, and I would lose weight, stop following recommendations, and put it all back on again, plus some.
With Chris and his team of fabulous trainers, they help you understand the “Why”.
Without that, it is pretty much guaranteed that I would not be successful. I have proven that already!
Now, I focus on the why, I make me a priority, and I am a better person for it!
The coaches are phenomenal.
They have all shared their story: Kimberly resonated with me when she shared about her struggles during her childhood. It was like she was telling my story.
Jim has helped me in immeasurable ways with time management, goal setting, and digging deep into my emotions to figure out my “Why”.

Krista helps me work my body in a way that it efficiently and safely burns fat and builds up the beautiful muscles hidden underneath.
Megan keeps us all on the straight and narrow, and she is amazing at it!
Words can’t express what Chris has done to help me change my life. He has brought this wonderful team together to help us all be successful!
We just have to want it, and I do!
Since joining Breakthrough I’ve experienced some amazing results including:
-Increased energy
-Increased strength
-Enjoying real food: shopping, choosing, and prepping is truly cathartic

My life has completely transformed!
Every one – coaches, fellow members, and my family have inspired me to be my best me.
Not perfect, but happy.
I love to cook! Who knew!
This whole experience has been amazing, and I look forward to continuing to work with everyone here at Breakthrough to improve my inner self as much as my outer self.
It’s a day to day challenge, and I am up for it.
Since joining Breakthrough in December of 2018, my outer self has made a dramatic change. I am down 30 pounds and multiple inches; but, more importantly, I feel better. My thoughts are clearer, I sleep better, and I am a better wife, mom, and friend.
If you were to ask me about joining Breakthrough I would say, “Just do it.”
You are worth every penny and more.
Don’t be afraid of the new experience. You will be pleasantly surprised.
The coaches and other members will work with you at your current level.
They ensure that you are safe, and educate you in proper form to minimize the risks.
Come in and talk to Chris. You will be happy that you did!
