How I made it Back

After being in the entertainment industry for more than seven years, I
was more than a little anxious as to how having a child would effect my
professional image. Forty-seven pounds later, and one stressful
pregnancy put me in a very large slump. I was dealing with post-partum
depression and all the ups and downs that come with having a newborn in
your home. I barely had time to shower, let alone get back into shape.
Some of the baby weight came off with nursing, but there was still a
long way to go to get back to my pre-baby size. I had serious doubts
that would ever be a reality. That's where Marie came in. We had been
friends for a couple years and had always talked of working together but
never made it a reality, this time Marie wouldn't take no for an
answer. She did everything in her power to make it work for me,
including working around my infant daughter and her schedule. For almost
a year now my daughter and I have been in and out of the Momentum
Fitness & Health Studios every week almost every day. In that
process I've seen a major transformation, not just in myself but in my
daughter. I've returned to my pre-baby size, and I'm in better shape
than I have ever been. No signs of depression linger any more. Mentally,
and physically I have been revived! My daughter has become a sort of
mascot at the gym. Raising her to understand the benefits of a healthy
and active lifestyle has already made her more social, active, and
balanced. I cannot tell you how impressed I have been at the level of
professionalism this facility demonstrates. Furthermore, Marie and the
rest of the trainers at Momentum treat you like more than a client, they
treat you like family. For all of their time and energy, I am
grateful. For their friendship, I am blessed.
