I hate her... I love her...

I am 39 years old and when the Las Vegas Athletic Clubs approached me about losing some weight I accepted and at that time I weighed 390lbs in April of 2006. They gave me a goal of losing 52lbs in 26 weeks and LVAC hired Zoe as my personal trainer along with Donna Acosta as my dietitian.

Over the next six months Zoe and I would meet about 3 times a week for an hour. But before I would meet with her I would attend her treadmill class at the Central Las Vegas Athletic Clubs location. After an hour of cardio I would then do one hour of training with Zoe. She is very patient but very insistent that you accomplish the tasks that she has in mind. Every session she would change up the workout routines keeping my body confused and always improving. Over the next 6 months I lost a total of 58lbs 6 more than my goal. I had my ups and downs but Zoe was always there encouraging and prodding.

Over the holidays I have lost another 20lbs with only a few follow up workouts with Zoe in about 3 months. Ultimately my goal is to get down around 200lbs. Zoe has committed to helping me get there and I know with the techniques that I have learned from Zoe and her continual help that I will get there by the end of 2007.

Zoe is an exceptional trainer and you will be hard pressed to find a better one here in the Las Vegas Valley.

Accomplishing the impossible

Working with Zoe for 3 years help me transform not only my body but most importantly my mind. I gained the confidence to apply for my dream job in Europe to running a half marathon to accomplishing the Las Vegas Marathon. My whole way of thinking changed from being overweight and not being able to do anything to knowing that I have to ability and support from Zoe to accomplish the impossible.
