Cyndi's Post Partum Transformation

"2 years ago I nervously stepped on stage for the first time and placed 3rd in bikini and 5th in fitness model.  I was shocked and amazed at what my body could do with Wendy's guidance and the support of the TEAM ENDURANCE community.

November 2014 I had my second baby and decided to challenge myself with another walk on the stage ... this time with a smaller window post baby.  I knew that I NEEDED to have Wendy by my side once again.   I moved to BC just before the birth of my baby, so wendy put together my post baby nutrition and workouts -- everything was done virtually and again, wendy was able to whip me into shape. 

Support was no different with emails, videos, phone calls and weekly check ins.  Mid way through my training I got a bit of a reality check and Wendy was able to give me the virtual kick in the butt I needed.

Wendy and the entire team at endurance on 8th are THE BEST." 

Kari Lynn's Testimonial

In May I made the decision that I wanted to compete in November. This was no small task as I have so much weight to lose, muscle to grow and confidence to build. But since I won the New Year New You challenge I wanted to achieve something else that made me proud.

I made this decision without even taking into consideration that I was going into summer-prime patio season! Add onto that a long vacation booked prior to my decision and the task seemed daunting. How was I going to get to the physical condition needed to walk on a stage in an itty bitty little bikini in front of hundreds of people? Well, when Wendy and Kevin kept telling me I could do it and with that little saying “Trust the process” in the back of my mind I just followed the workout plan and adhered to the meal plan as best I could. Both of these were quite challenging at first and in my mind I kept hearing Kevin’s voice in my head “Yes you can” when I needed to just push through 3 more reps. Wendy helped me realize that if something isn’t working quite right with a meal plan, she can just change it to satisfy my hunger and see how my body changes.

The encouragement from them and their belief in my capabilities have truly helped me believe I can do this. I’m so excited to get on stage in November that my mindset has now changed from “I can’t eat that because it’s not on my plan” to “I’m so excited to eat these delicious berries”! Or from“Ugh, I have to go to the gym at lunch” to “I bet I can lift more today because I’m feeling so much stronger”. When you start to believe in yourself these decisions get easier and it brings even more happiness to your soul.

Down 45lbs since July!  

"When I joined Endurance on 8^th early 2012 I was on an endless mental/emotional treadmill – thinking of where I wanted to be in terms of my health, my weight and my level of fitness.  I was wishing for change but not making real commitment to it; disappointed when I didn’t make any progress even though I didn’t change any of my behaviors!  I did my first FitCamp with Sam Medina and was very sore for an entire week.  But I went back and that was the start of my journey.  

I’m very grateful for Endurance on 8^th for the comprehensive training they offer.  It was the combination of workouts, nutrition tips and tools, accountability and check-ins with coaches, and the goal setting that have helped me to reach my goals…over 40lb weight loss since July (and nearly 70lbs down in total since my heaviest after having my son).  Huge praise and thanks to Dr. Kevin Ashby, Dr. Wendy Carvalho Ashby, Lani Pickering, Irfan Jessa and Lara Schamotta for getting me organized and into ship shape! 
 
This comprehensive program was the key to my success.  For as long as I can remember I always put things off or gave up half way through...this time there was no stopping me.  I committed to myself and my goals and I DID IT!
 
Watch out world…I’m just getting started now!"

Cynthia Coleman Mom Transformation: Top 5 Figure Athlete!

"I have been active for many years between running marathons, sprint triathlons, and going to the gym. I am always up for a new challenge to push myself to a new level so when my co-worker recommend I try a body competition I was up for the challenge. He recommended that I talk to Kevin and Wendy at Endurance on 8th as they know their stuff.

December 2012 I made that call and met with Kevin.  After that first meeting I left the office super stoked and ready for this next challenge.  I was given a meal plan and training plan that pushed my limits. Photos were sent to Wendy weekly making sure my progress was going in the right direction and honest feedback was given. Every few weeks Kevin and I would meet and go over my training and nutrition making sure everything was going good and there were no issues.  I was pushed to be my best with the programs. Some of them workouts I thought I was actually going to die but that feeling you get when you completed is such a feeling of satisfaction.

The support and inspiration that I received from Kevin and Wendy made this experience so enjoyable that I am still working with them and looking at doing another competition in November.

Thank you Kevin and Wendy"
