I never had any energy to play with my son, always felt like I was never getting enough sleep and I felt like I had hit a dead end in my career. I was not happy with myself and had a real fear of what was to become of me if I was to stay on my current course in life.

After a trip to Disney World and Universal Studios two years ago where I was taken out of a line for the Harry Potter ride for being too overweight and completely embarrassed I realized I needed to make a change and was ready to make it happen. I knew exactly what I needed to do, and I finally had enough of the way my life was going.

I’ve known Torrance for many years and we had spoken before about him helping me out. I just didn't have it in me to take the steps I needed to. I reached out to him finally and we put together a plan pretty quickly. I would work with him twice a week for an hour each time. I told him what I was trying to accomplish and I put my complete trust in him and I knew that together we could get this done.

I remember the first workout like it was yesterday. I could barely drive home afterwards and the next two days had a lot of soreness, didn’t want to get out of bed. I asked myself over and over again “What I had gotten myself into?” But I remained confident that if I stuck with it that it would be well worth it. On top of that... all of energy Torrance brings to the table kept me wanting to come back for. This would be my mindset throughout the time I worked with Torrance and I started noticing the difference of how looked and felt pretty quickly...this also made it easier to keep going after it.

The most important thing that I can say about my experience working with Torrance is that I know he approaches his training with safety in mind first. Whether it’s the advising on what I should be eating/ drinking to the stretching before/after, to performing whatever workout he had planned. I knew I could always give 110% because I was in good hands. This was how I was able to transform so quickly...I was always able to go hard and come back again and never had to worry about my safety.

Life happens... I traveled a lot for work, my hours kept changing, vacations, injuries... Torrance was always able to work with me no matter what life threw at me. On top of that he also would incorporate the exercises / movements I enjoyed the most as often as possible. I was always doing something new as well and Torrance always knew how much more I could be pushed during my workouts. I even would take my son to some of my workouts to show him how hard I was working to make changes in my life. Torrance always made him feel comfortable and welcome any time...my son talks about him a lot, he is very determined even at the age of 10 to exercise and stay fit for life and he knows that he must always work hard to achieve what he wants.

I’m 100 pounds lighter, I no longer have sleep apnea and I threw my CPAP machine away. I no longer have high blood pressure and I’m no longer in risk of acquiring diabetes.

I am in the best shape of my life at the age of 37! I have also enhanced myself in my career. The confidence I have acquired during this transformation has helped improve many areas of my life. I am now a Senior Manager for the company I have worked for almost 20 years and with this career opportunity I was able to put together enough pretty quickly to buy a beautiful house that my son and I currently live in.

I have used this experience as an opportunity to pay it forward and inspire others. Whether that’s immediate/extended family, people from work or more importantly my son. Setting the right example for them and show anyone that you can accomplish your goals and dreams if you always put your best foot forward.

Torrance has been an amazing influence in my life and a friend for life. A great man that will help you make the changes you need/want in your life. Trust him and stick with it. You won’t be disappointed!!!
