I've lost nearly 45 pounds!

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how important American Athlete is to me and my overall fitness, and why I am so pleased to be a member. Since March [8 months], I've lost nearly 45 pounds. This has been done "the old fashioned way" pretty much: counting calories and exercising. I am certain I would never have achieved this goal if it wasn't for American Athlete, specifically. I also work very hard…usually no less than -- and often more than -- 12 hours a day, and many weekends, so I need a place to focus on me, without the distractions of dozens of people competing for machines, loud music, videos all over the place, etc. Not being a big fan of gyms -- especially gyms that function more as meat markets than actual places to work out -- the fact your gym is nearby is a true blessing.

American Athlete is unique because of the staff -- all incredibly nice and helpful -- and the facility, which is clean, easy to get around in and offers all the machines and weights I need to achieve my goals. These two aspects by themselves would put you guys at the top of my list, but I also love how you seek to strengthen (no pun intended) the community in which you operate. I like how you are a drop-off point for organic food, sponsor the blood drive, offer the mobile body fat immersion tank and make excellent use of Green Lake Park for classes and Boot Camp. I don't always get involved in these things, but I notice them, and they make me feel like I am at the right gym when I am at American Athlete.

Now comes the fun part: maintaining my weight loss and lower stress levels! You can bet that American Athlete will be a major part of that effort. I look forward to continuing as a member for many years to come and thank you and the entire staff for being my partners in fitness and helping me achieve my goals. Good luck!
