Success Story - Tina Gagnon

Looking at my before and after picture. ..wow!  I just put them together and holy what a difference.

I like the feedback and love seeing the changes that were happening.  

To drop from a size 10 to a 4 was breath catching.

What I've learned.  Hard work pays off and even on those days you wonder if have what it takes to not quit, you push  though and go for that last rep or that last set  burpee. ..still have a love hate relationship with burpees .

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"

Cindi Goodjohn Mom Transformation: Top 5 Fitness, Top 3 Bikini Model!

" I could not be more thrilled with me transformation and experince with Endurance on 8th.  Not only have I met a great group of people and network of support, but I've gained the knowledge and ability to maintain a balanced and clean lifestyle.  I'm happier mentally and physically that I've ever been, and that says a lot as I'm probably under the most stress in my personal life than I've ever been.

I met with Wendy 7 weeks postpartum (I was a bit eager to start feeling myself again!).  Wendy put me on a nutrition and at home workout plan that I could manage while adjusting to limited hours of sleep and nursing (it was important to me that my personal fitness goals did not impact my ability to be able to nurse my baby).  It was great working with Wendy as she understood what I was going through and was very cautious about ensuring my babies need came first, but at the same time, helping me to see results!  

After a month of clean eating and getting back into a workout routine, I met with Wendy again and decided to train for NPAA competition.  Having a goal of walking on stage at 7 months postpartum was a huge motivator (and intimidator!)  Wendy ensured that all of my workouts could be done in my (very pathetic) at home gym while my little guy napped.  She anticipated things that I never thought about (night time baby feeding's that caused me to be extra hungry) - Wendy prepared me with solutions so that I knew exactly what to do!  And if something ever came up that I was unsure of, she was always just an email away to answer my questions (which there were many closer to stage day!).  I've never felt so comfortable in my own skin and know that I never would have been able to achieve these results without the help of Wendy.  

I've worked out my entire life, and yet I've never seen the type of results I've seen working with Wendy as my coach.  By doing the right types of workouts along with a nutrition plan that was tailored for me I saw almost immediate results.  For me this means eating right, most of the time...  But at the same time, I enjoy my wine and coffee creamer - Wendy just helped me figure out how to manage everything properly!" 

Success Story - Registered Massage Therapy at Endurance on 8th Health Centre

Just wanted to say THANKS for all the quality massage treatments at Endurance on 8th Health Centre, and for the great job keeping the practice running so smoothly. The massage treatments are an integral part of my training and recovery regimen as a weekend warrior cyclist, and tonight I was able to cap off a good 2013 race season with a 2nd place finish at the Jason Lapierre criterium held in downtown Calgary.
