Adam and Stacey – eliminated week one

Words really can’t express the excitement I felt today when I visited Adam and Stacey’s home. I was a little nervous, but as soon as I entered the house, I was inspired to make a difference in their lives.

First, we spent about 25 minutes getting to know each other. Then we began the workout session, which lasted for an hour and a half. I trained them in Phase 1 of the Optimal Performance Training (OPT) Model, which is based on solid scientific research.

We used all of the great equipment that 24 Hour Fitness provided. By the end of the session, Adam and Stacey were completely exhausted!

Over a healthy lunch, we chatted about their experience at “The Biggest Loser” ranch as well as their personal history. The Capers are great people!

After lunch, it was back to the Caper home for a kitchen assessment. We talked about the foods they should keep versus those that should go in the trash. They were so involved in the process and willing to learn. When I said a food item needed to go, they threw it right into the trash with no complaining! It was amazing and inspiring to see how badly these two want to change their lives for the better.

Next, we discussed their bodybugg® programs. The bodybugg trainer had obviously done a great job on instructing them how to use the bodybugg, so I mainly just reviewed their programs and answered the few questions they had.

Our last stop was the grocery store. They had just gone shopping the day before the visit, so we bought the few items they didn’t buy on the list provided by the Ranch.

Today’s experience reminded me of why I started in this industry 18 years ago. I love training! Opportunities like this don’t come around very often, so I really took advantage of getting to work with the Capers today. I had a great time! I also made two new friends.
