What a wonderful and inspirational evening we had at our first annual Client Appreciation and Awards Banquet!  Congratulations to our Diamond Award winner for the most comprehensive worksite wellness program, CLEARLINK!  Great job to the Platinum Winners, Wavelink Corporation and Tesco Williamsen. Congrats also to Brian Hall and Matt Broschinsky, our success story winners!  We appreciate all of your hard work and enthusiasm.  We wanted to thank Miss Utah USA, Kendyl Bell, for her remarks and Drew Manning for sharing his inspirational adventure from Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit.

If you missed the Banquet, you missed Drew’s amazing personal challenge.  This personal trainer and “fit guy” launched into a journey to understand his clients better…from Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit.  Drew spent 6 months on an unrestricted diet without any exercise.  The following 6 months he decided to become fit again so that he might inspire others to improve their health.  Here are a few things we learned from Drew’s experience:

1.                  Changing your habits is difficult.

When Drew began his fit to fat stage, he found it difficult to refrain from heading to the gym.  As time went on, he became more complacent with the food he was eating and relaxing in front of the T.V.  Later in the fat to fit stage, he said the first two weeks were by far the worst.

2.                  Weight gain comes quickly and easily. 

Drew was shocked to find that his anticipated 50-60 lb. weight gain ended up totaling 76 lb., 16-26 lbs. more than anticipated.

3.                  Everyday activities become difficult.

Chasing his daughter, climbing the stairs and bending over to tie his shoes left Drew out of breath.

4.                  Unhealthy foods and lack of exercise wreck havoc on our organs.

Dr. Oz showed Drew what effects this change made on his health, including his liver and kidney function.  To watch the show, click on the link below:

5.                  We can become addicted to foods.

As Drew began his fit stage, he was addicted to foods like Mountain Dew and Zingers.
