Soul and Body Transformation-MommyMotivationOnline-
When I first started on this journey, I was just coming off of a very difficult time in my life.after years of suffering from excruciating pain within my lymphatic system, I was finally diagnosed with a rare form of no Hodgkin lymphoma. I had to undergo 6months of chemotherapy and immunosuppressant therapy and right now, I am on immuno step-down for 3 years. I had gotten a bit depressed and my weight had ballooned to 240lbs. I had started back to bag boxing, which I love, but I needed a focused approach to get this weight off of me once and for all. I knew that at my age, it would be a challenge but I had to try and do something. I signed up at Powerhouse with the goal of just attempting to get back into the swing of exercising.
 
I was asked to try the trainer-based training and I reluctantly did so. I started working with Karla and in 4 months, I have lost 22 lbs! I am now 217 lbs and well on my way of reaching my personal goal of getting under 200 lbs. I’ve learned a lot from Karla as to how the body works, processes food and responds to various exercise. I’ll admit that I had my doubts when I first started because the exercises were a bit easy but that changed quickly. So much so that now I can complete a 30 minute cycle on the stair climber at level 4 and run sprints at level 5. Last year that was unfathomable. Others have noticed my transformation more than I have but I am happy to say that there are a whole lot of clothes that had not seen the light of day for year that I can now fit. Instead of shopping for new clothes, I can now shop in my closet! I would definitely recommend Karla as a trainer. Not only is she is a great trainer but she has a big heart. Glad that I got to know and work with her.

"I love working with Karla. She is sweet, that’s why I call her always sweet Karla. The text message that she sends me every morning are so motivating and gives me positive thoughts to start my day. I just lost 4 pounds and I’m happy and I’m more happy of continuing working with Karla because I know I’m going to lose my goal. Thank you and love you sweet Karla! "
