Last year, my cousin was murdered. I sank into a deep state of depression. I could hardly get out of bed. When I had to go to work, I existed on sodas and candybars. I started gaining weight mostly in my stomach, so I looked pregnant. I would start weight loss program after weight loss program but something else would happen that would send me back into the depression.
In January, I looked at myself....how miserable I looked and felt. I knew that I had to pull myself out of it. I don't remember how I found Pam but I am so grateful that I did. I joined her 90 day transformation. She sat me down and gave me a full hour of her time. We discussed what it would take to get me back in shape, she took measurements and I weighed in. She discussed nutrition and supplements and sent out emails weekly keeping us pumped up.
I have worked out with trainers before but nothing like this. I personally did very little cardio throughout the 90 days. I worked out 2 days a week with Pam or Lucy. They run you through a circuit for me it was mainly lower body and I did upper body at home. Do not look at the purple equipment and feminine touches of this gym and think that it is going to be a frilly girly workout. I have NEVER been through such an intense circuit in my life! It was a challenge throughout the 90 days. Pam really knows what a woman's body needs to lose weight and gain muscle. It was truly an amazing experience.
Today was my final weigh in. I lost 14lbs of fat and gained 4lbs of muscle. I went from 30% body fat to 21%. I lost 15 inches from my body. But the most rewarding thing here is not the amount of weight or inches that I lost. It is the way I FEEL . My body is lean and I feel strong both physically and mentally. I have an amazing amount of energy and it is no longer a chore to pull myself out of bed. In fact, I jump out of bed earlier with a smile on my face. To say that I now have my life back is an understatement.
I have recommended Pam and the Fitness Divas to all of my friends and clients. They are definitely one of Atlanta's best...
Read moreNo matter what your fitness goals are, Atlanta Fitness Diva is the place to be!! I have been training with Pam for a few years already and my goals have changed a few times over the years. When I first started training with her I had no clue what I was doing, I had no idea the importance of weight/strength training, and much less, how very important recovery is after a challenging training session. During the first 2 months I dropped about 3% body fat, and after a few more months of following a strict routine I started seeing major changes in my body. For a while I maintained since it just got harder, but Pam knew exactly how to get me out of that plateau.
Last year I got pregnant, and although I continued working out and tried to stay in the best shape possible, my body fat went up again and I lost the tone in my body. I knew as soon as I had my baby that I would be going back to Atlanta Fitness Diva! In the last 3 months I have managed to lose 11.5 inches all over, 11 LBS of fat, 7% body fat. I not only gained 6 LBS of muscle, but also strength, and confidence. I’m now much stronger than I was even before I got pregnant. With these results, in what I consider a short amount of time, I am so motivated to just keep going!
At Atlanta Fitness Diva you will always: be MOTIVATED, be CHALLENGED, have FUN, and FEEL GREAT. The trainers are really the best, always making sure to SAFELY get you out of your comfort zone, only to make you BETTER with each workout. Remember there is always room for improvement, and if it were easy, everyone would do it. This is a lifestyle. Will-power, self-discipline, self-control… that’s what makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd.
Thank you Pam and Atlanta Fitness Diva staff for helping me...
Read moreThe BEST health and fitness decision I've ever made in my life!!! I've been training with Pam (Owner/Head Trainer) at Atlanta Fitness Diva for over 1 year and plan to continue for years to come. I've always had good eating habits and have participated in some sort of physical activity 2-3 times a week (i.e. biking, hiking, walking, strength training, etc.) Even with all of that effort, I plateaued for over 2 years and was very discouraged. And then I walked into Atlanta Fitness Diva....
Not only does Pam and her team get to know what your goals are but, they get to know YOU. You will not only learn how to train and eat properly but, why it is important and how everything works together to get the results you desire. All of this translates into a workout program specifically geared towards women and getting ultimate results.
Since starting with Pam, I have become fitter, stronger, more confident and knowledgeable about what works best for me. I have also had the pleasure of meeting some AMAZING ladies that I have the honor of calling friends! Thanks to Pam and Lucy, I am truly in the best shape of my life!
Their motivation, knowledge, genuine care for your health and fitness and unconditional support is second to none and I am forever grateful. Whether through one-on-one or group training, if you TRULY want to get into the BEST shape of your life---at ANY age---look no further! No one compares to the original ATLANTA FITNESS DIVA! Trust me...there is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment the day after a workout with Pam! LOVE...
