Embarking on the 60day Challenge at Life Time marked the beginning of a transformative journey for me. After an incredibly challenging year mentally and physically in 2022, I wanted to make 2023 a year of personal growth and wellness. I was transitioning to a new role at work and knew this was my time to improve in more ways than one. My primary goals during this challenge were to lose weight, improve my cardiovascular endurance, feel confident in my own skin, and develop a sustainable healthy lifestyle. With my motivation and the support of Life Time’s comprehensive facilities and services, I was able to accomplish these goals and more.

The support system at Life Time helped me stay driven throughout the challenge. The staff including, the Trainers Christian and Caitlin, were always available to answer any questions I had and provide guidance on nutrition and fitness. The daily workouts provided, the variety of equipment, and the group fitness classes provided me with endless options to mix up my workouts keeping me engaged.

During the challenge, I discovered a newfound passion for yoga, which significantly improved my flexibility and mental well-being. Participating in high-energy spin classes boosted my cardiovascular endurance, while strength training sessions increased my muscle tone and overall fitness. The experienced instructors also made each class challenging and enjoyable.

In addition to the facilities and group fitness classes, Life Time’s nutrition resources helped me make significant progress. The staff offered guidance on healthy meal planning and made recommendations for nutrient-dense foods that helped me fuel my body during workouts and throughout the day. The Life Cafe became my second favorite part of the gym. I do love a good PB & B Shake and the ladies at the café always had it ready for me.

Over the course of the 60day Challenge, I lost 11.5 pounds and improved my overall fitness level. However, the most significant transformation was in my lifestyle. I developed a new appreciation for healthy living and discovered the joy of trying new workouts and pushing my limits. My daughter now has a new love for yoga, cheer and tumbling and will not miss a Monday either. I also gained some new friendships as a small group of us attended Saturday Sweat Sessions regularly and now enjoy working out together.

The 60day Challenge has inspired me to make permanent lifestyle changes. I’ve learned that small, consistent changes can have a significant impact on my overall health and well-being. I now incorporate daily workouts, healthy meal planning, and mindfulness practices into my daily routine.

As the challenge concluded, I am eager to continue my journey toward optimal health and wellness. I plan to maintain the momentum I have built and continue incorporating healthy habits into my daily routine. I will continue to attend group fitness classes and try new workouts to keep things exciting and challenging. I also plan to continue seeking guidance from Life Time’s expert staff on specific workouts, nutrition and healthy living.

I am grateful for the support of Life Time and the resources they provided to help me achieve my goals. I look forward to embracing a lifetime of health and wellness and hope to inspire others to do the same.
