HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! AND THE WINNERS ARE....

Not often that someone gives other people gifts on their birthday is it?

First off, thank you to everyone who submitted a testimonial. I am humbled by the kind and sincere comments I received. In fact, for the vast majority of testimonials that came in, they didn't even want to be entered into the contest, but were just thankful of how I have helped them change their lives.

So from the bottom of my heart, Thank You Everyone!

Now, for the winning entries...

The judges were looking for a number of things, but their criteria was largely based on putting themselves in a 'potential client's' shoes. For someone who doesn't know me or my business, what would motivate them to pick up the phone and book a consultation with me...

And in first place.....

I am a 60 year old female who had to leave my physically demanding job due to severe back pain that was being managed by high doses of medication. My diagnosed disease is a progressive, degenerative condition which only worsens with time. I knew I had to do something to help myself. Through word of mouth recommendation (rave reviews actually), enter Rylan Duggan.

After an initial meeting, he knew exactly what I needed and tailored a personalized, step-by-step, stretching and strengthening program slowly accelerating a diet and exercise regime that I could do at home that really works. The benefits and results that I have realized since following my program are incredible. For this and so much more, I cannot extol the virtues of Rylan enough.

He is a young man who has channeled his core belief into learning his craft and those fortunate enough to have him cross their paths will enjoy the benefit of that education.

His sound professional advice is aimed at each persons personal goals and success and his quiet "living it" ways brings to the table a natural ability and easy demeanor not learned in school. It is also a comfort to know he is always supportive especially when one falters. Rylan has a much higher goal than to believe in him, his goal is that YOU believe in a healthier, happier and more fit YOU.

Rylan truly is wise beyond his years, and this old girl is grateful.
Kudos Rylan, and from the bottom of my healthier heart, Thank You.

Second place...

You shouldn’t go see Rylan because he is the most caring and sincere person you will ever find in the fitness industry, although he is. You shouldn’t go see Rylan because he is the most professional, qualified, and knowledgeable individual in his field, although he is. You shouldn’t even go see Rylan because he wants to see you succeed as much as you do, although he does. You must see Rylan because he simply delivers results. Do what he tells you, and you will reach your goals, it’s as simple as that.

And third place...

After years of struggling with my weight after having three children, I had simply ran out of ideas. I had tried every diet and program in the book, with no results, and I was desperate. My friend recommended that I hire a personal trainer, but I had always been skeptical about personal trainers. I knew for a fact that most of them only had to pass a three week course to get their designation, and I’ll be damned if I was going to let someone who wasn’t qualified mess with my health and my body.

But then, through word of mouth, I found Rylan Duggan. To say that Rylan was qualified for the job is an understatement. He has more letters after his name than in it, he has studied the human body intricately and has a university degree to prove it, and he is constantly furthering his knowledge through continued study and education. No matter the question, he always has the answer, and he was the answer I was looking for.

In the brief months that I have been working with Rylan, my body has transformed. Friends and relatives are shocked at the change when they see me. I no longer buy into the ‘I’m too old’ or ‘I’ve had children’ or ‘I’m a woman’ excuses that I once used to explain my inability to lose weight. Rylan has proved to me that no matter the circumstances, I can achieve the body that I want.

Rylan, you are a gem, and anyone who is smart enough to hire you as their personal trainer will see that as well. Thank you!
