Wes's Story

​

I signed up with BodyUnion because I wanted to lose 40 lbs and get in better shape for my upcoming 25th

(Silver wedding) anniversary. 

 

As a railroader, Getting into and staying in good shape was something I knew needed to become a higher priority. Watching over the years, many of my co-workers became consumed by the job and making money. A life lacking adequate sleep, proper nutrition, or exercise comes with a high cost to overall health and wellness. I realized I couldn't control many aspects of the job, such as the odd hours and lack of a schedule. But I could learn to eat better and make sure I was getting enough rest and exercise to keep me feeling at my best and enjoying life to the fullest. 

 

I had been working towards achieving this goal on my own for nearly four years but always seemed to reach a plateau that wasn't for lack of effort on my part. Once I started working with my coach, I was able to conquer it in 4 months. Following my meal templates and scheduled workouts, what had once appeared to be an impossible task had been achieved with little more than some strict discipline at making the time to do my meal prepping and putting in the hard work at the gym. 

 

After working with my coach, I feel more confident about myself and handling my nutritional needs. I now know how to create healthy meals and track macros and calories to reach my goals. I'm highly optimistic about the future, whether at work or in my personal life, and I have found the tools I need to stay on track to manage my health and fitness.



My advice to anyone considering getting a health and fitness coach is to go for it; you only have one shot at life!
