Before                                                  After

Where does one begin to write a testimonial for trainers like Allen and Angela? At the beginning, I guess!

I had lost a great deal of weight (about 120 pounds) over a period of about 2 years, and was having difficulty in staying motivated to maintain the loss. I had considered various activities, but found none that seemed right for me.  It was sheer curiosity that brought me into Allen and Angela’s supplement shop one evening after my usual workout.

Once there, I met one half of the twosome that would ultimately have an almost profound impact on my life as I knew it. This was Allen, and his enthusiasm for bodybuilding left a lasting impression on me. So much so, that within 2 weeks, I had decided that this was the motivation that I needed to keep the weight off, for good.

Within weeks, I met the other half of “the dynamic duo”. Of course, this is Angela! Ever encouraging, Angela is a fountain of knowledge with the nuances of bodybuilding for women, and her own amazing physique is an inspiration. Coupled with Allen’s knowledge of nutrition and his super supportive nature and my own motivation, we would embark on my own incredible journey.

About 3 months into my training, Allen asked if I would consider competing in the summer. My response was, “Do you think I can?” His response to that was, “If I didn’t think so, I wouldn’t have asked.” When someone has that much confidence in you, it’s pretty hard not to catch it too. So began the strict dieting down, posing practice, the individual routine and all other preps for my first show. One of the most telling things is the fact of how “not nervous” I was. It has to be remembered that with my history of obesity (250 pounds at my heaviest), the concept of standing on-stage in a tiny little posing suit should have had me running for the nearest exit. I went on-stage without fear and loved every second of it….. this is how well prepared Allen and Angela had me.

Allen and Angela are trainers who, in my opinion, could get the best out of anyone who has even a modicum of motivation and drive. They have a way of making you want to strive to be better; to give them 110%. There were a few times during the process that I felt overwhelmed, both physically and mentally. Angela and Allen got me through these times with ease. They are absolutely always available and always happy to answer any questions.

These two people have changed my life in ways that transcended bodybuilding; I simply could not give a higher recommendation to anyone. If you are considering any sort of training on any level, you owe it to yourself to train with Angela and Allen.

You guys are THE best!
