Thank you Lorri Ann for all your help, inspiration, enthusiasm and support. You have taken me from someone who dreaded exercise to one who looks forward to 7 am Saturday morning bootcamp! You have really inspired me to take time out for myself and to become a stronger and healthier person. I can't thank you enough!

After having four children, I had truly let myself go in many different ways—not just physically (going from a former collegiate soccer player to being just plain out of shape and bogged down in baby weight)—my struggle was inside as well. Lorri Ann just sparks something in you...the part of you that has been let go, forgotten, pushed aside as you get buried with neverending to-do list of life as a mom. It's very easy to put yourself last. Lorri Ann helped me see what I already knew but was too exhausted to even do anything about...that taking time for yourself and your health makes you a better person, mom, wife, and woman. Now, I have more energy, and after one bootcamp I lost over 20 inches and am halfway to my weight loss goal of 30 pounds. The best part for me was the camaraderie between all the boot camp mamas and seeing Lorri Ann spark that special something in each and every one of us. I am grateful on behalf of every mom that is fortunate to know her.

When I first met Lorri Ann, I was looking to lose some weight and improve my overall health. I had been running for over a year, but realized I really needed to add some strength training and learn to eat better. I have never been to the gym and didn’t have the first idea how to start adding weights to my workouts. I have read books and magazines but I could never figure out how to follow the instructions. Hiring a personal trainer seemed like a luxury for the rich and famous—not a busy mother of 2. A friend of mine talked me into joining one of Lorri Ann’s bootcamps, but with my crazy schedule it never worked out. However, Lorri Ann agreed to come to my house at the only time that I had free—Tuesday mornings at 5:30 a.m. I thought she was a little crazy to agree to come to my house at that incredibly early hour, let alone workout in my messy garage, but she showed up.
I figured she would kick my butt for an hour every week and maybe I’d learn a little about how to eat right and lift weights, but I was terribly wrong. Working out with Lorri Ann has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life and one of the very few things that I have done, especially as a mother, to take care of myself. Although the workouts are tough, I feel refreshed, renewed and ready to face another week once I’m done. Lorri Ann has customized my workouts to make them challenging while being mindful of the limited time I have to exercise. She has shown me how to correctly do each exercise and creates these great multitasking exercises so that I can get a great workout without having to spend half my day working out—and everything she has me do I can do in my home with hand weights, bands, an exercise ball and a little creativity. She has also given me the tools I need to change my diet and to make permanent, healthy lifestyle changes for me and my family. Every time I see her, she gives me a new article or suggestion for easy diet changes to cut calories, boost energy and just be a healthier me.
Having said all that, I think the greatest thing about Lorri Ann is not something I can put into words. Lorri Ann is an incredible woman who is extremely positive, motivating and inspiring. My workouts with her are part exercise and part therapy. She has inspired me to be a better person and to see what an amazing woman I am. Every woman deserves to make time for themselves and what better way to do that than to be around someone who truly makes you feel good about yourself. I think especially for anyone who is trying to lose weight and get into shape, it is easy to get caught up in what we see in the mirror or the number on the scale. Lorri Ann has never once made me feel self conscious about my appearance or weight. She has only focused on what an incredible woman I am and the progress I have made. As I said, it is hard to put into words, so you will just have to meet her to know what I mean.

I am very excited with my successes after the mommy bootcamp.
I lost 25 inches, 11 pounds and 8% body fat. My biggest motivation
however was dropping one full dress size. It took me 12 weeks
to get back to the size I wore 4 years ago. I am so happy
with my progress, I signed up for round two!

I
highly recommend Lorri Ann as a trainer. I signed up for her
12-week bootcamp and got more out of it than I ever expected.
I went from 152 pounds to 132 pounds, and I look and feel
so much better. Although we only met once a week, Lorri Ann
encouraged us to contact her throughout the week, which I
did regularly when I was having challenges. She had us fill
out and turn in "code enforcers" on a weekly basis
that had what we'd eaten and what exercises we'd done, then
she would review them and return them the following week with
comments. I always looked forward to reading her encouraging
comments and seeing red stars when I was on the right track.
She has a kind heart and truly cares about the people she
works with. I hope you have the opportunity to work with her
and experience that first hand.

Lorri Ann helped me take my life back. With her help, I went from 165 lbs down to 123, and I've maintained my goal weight since January, '08! She taught me to value my health and my strength, and how to make eating right and staying active a lifestyle rather than a temporary diet. This new perspective helped me overcome other obstacles in my life, like quitting smoking for good. She helped me believe in myself, be kind to myself, and love myself again. I feel 10 years younger, at least, and I'm not feeling so bad about being a single mom now. I have the energy to be super mom, and I have the self-esteem to take my time on my quest for Prince Charming. The other ladies in Boot Camp were also quite inspiring. Sharing stories of struggles and victories while warming up, and the updates each week as we got closer to our goals really motivated all of us. I've made some friends for life, and I'm also very proud to call Lorri Ann my friend. My boot camp was over last fall, but I still get a phone call from her every once in a while to check in—and it always seems to be the day when I'm contemplating eating something really unhealthy. One call from Lorri Ann, and I'm dropping the onion blossom. I really think she's psychic sometimes! One thing's for sure: she is wonderful at what she does. With her help, I am proud to say I have found my mojo!

I started a fitness bootcamp nearly 12 weeks ago. She is an AMAZING woman and my experience with her bootcamp has been exactly what I needed. Lorri Ann worked with me individually to set and attain my goals. I was able to lose 5% body fat, and 28 total inches; 3 around my chest, 5 around my waist! and another 3 in my hips. I also lost 2 inches in each thigh! Results will vary for everyone, but this was a great place to start. I have since set new goals and will be working hard to achieve them. What ever your fitness needs may be Lorriann can help you make it happen.
She is extremely qualified not only as a personal trainer, but also as a life coach and is always available to help you. Each bootcamp runs $300 for the full 12 weeks, but I calculated just the training hours of bootcamp, and at her regular personal training fee, the value is over $1000, so these bootcamps are a real steal! I can not tell you how awesome of an experience this has been for me. My energy level has stabilized, I no longer "crash" in the afternoon, but can make it through my day. I don't crave sugar anymore, and I have a very clear plan for what my fitness routine needs to look like. I attained them all my goals! I know how hard it is no matter what your circumstances to put your health and fitness near the top of your priority list, but the benefits are overwhelming! You owe it to yourself to call! Don't make any excuses! She wants to help you and will work with whatever your obstacles are. DO IT! YOU'LL BE SO GLAD YOU DID!
