*********** UPDATE AUGUST 2009 *************
After spending the last year confirming that exercise without a change in diet will not get desired results, I have recently radically changed my eating habits and am having much better success with my weight loss. In fact, I have signed up for RPM Training in Birmingham on Nov. 7-8, 2009!!! Woo hoo!! The support from my family and friends at the gym has been outstanding!!
**********************************************
I have worked within the Coca-Cola system since 1992. I am a native North Carolinian, so I love those Tarheels!!
My wife, Crystal - who just passed her BodyPump Training!! - is the love of my life and we have 2 great kids - both boys - ages 5 and 2. They enjoy running, pushing trucks, and playing in the dirt looking for bugs.
I have always had issues being overweight - >100 lbs for the last several years. Have tried many gym memberships, diets, and fitness programs, but before this year, I had never taken a group class - now I am addicted to RPM/Spin and take Pump and Combat at least once, often twice per week. I have lost >30 lbs so far and plan on losing the rest this year!!! The vibe and energy at Gold's Birmingham is fantastic and the support from the staff and other members keeps me going.
