Gwen Henson's Story:

I started training with Lori in November of 2009, and nothing has been the same since! 

As a whole, I’m an active person and don’t eat a lot of junk. 

I’d go in streaks with lots of running and/or going to the gym …but I’d been spinning my wheels for a few years- stuck at 146. 

I didn’t know what I was doing wrong, and that’s when I approached Lori for help.  My number one goal was to get below 130 and stay there. 

 I like muscle, and like having a very specific goal, so we set our sights for me to compete in the Texas Shredder Classic, Figure Division in April 2010. 

 I’d started keeping a food journal, and one of the first things we did was analyze my nutrition. 

Lori showed me that while I had some good habits, the fact that I ate too little and lacked balance during the week was just as big of a problem as the free-for-all on the weekends!  She gave me a nutrition plan where I was never hungry, and designed a workout plan for me with a purpose.   

 

I faced the holiday season with no problems. I was able to enjoy all my favorites at family gatherings.  But then I was able to get right back to my clean eating and stayed active through the holidays because we had a plan.  I lost weight in December! 

From the very beginning, Lori has been there with an encouraging word any time I needed it, and provided the accountability that I was looking for.  We made many small adjustments to my program as needed. 

Everything Lori advised had a specific purpose- her knowledge is extensive.  

I got a new menu and new training plan every 4-6 weeks, and she gave me all the guidance and advice I needed to be ready to compete in April. 

She helped me with everything from make-up, hair, shoes, suit, my tan, jewelry, posing and competition prep week. 

 

 

I am pleased to say that I placed 9th out of 35 women in my height class.  I blew right past my weight goal, and weighed in at 122 lbs the day of my competition! 

I trust Lori completely, and I plan to continue to train with her long term, for my personal fitness and for future shows.
