Satisfied Client: “When I first started working out at Pro Fitness I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. My decision to start working out and living a healthier life was based on my overall health and physical appearance. The physical from my doctor came back good, with no health problems, but how long could I be heavy and not have problems. I decided it was now or never. It has been the best decision I have ever made-I’m now 40 pounds lighter. I still have a long way to go but I feel great. Thanks to Kalyn first and foremost for caring so much and ALWAYS being there for me–I could of never done this without her. Matt, Eric and Doug-I love them also, they keep me motivated and smiling. I have more energy and feel great-AND I love working out now. Thank you all so much for what you are doing for me, you are all great.” -D Sheedy
