Testimonials

I know that you have all heard it before- do this and you will lose weight. I was one that has tried it all too, Weight Watchers, the drug Phen- Phen, and every other diet known that is imaginable. I was contemplating gastric bypass surgery. My sister, Lorri, then came to me with information on a seminar about a weight loss program breaking ground in our area. I went with one last hope that this might be the answer I was looking for. I listened to the gentleman named Jason, his story, his philosophy, and his vision. My sister and I decided to visit Jason for a second time at his office located in Appleton and we discussed our future plans for our new healthier lives. This was the best decision that I have made in my life! Jason explained a way of life, a change in my eating patterns, and the choices that I make every moment. It is not just about food but about exercise, spirituality, and of course healthy eating. He has taught me that all of these components are important to healthy weight loss and most importantly keeping it off. With Real Wellness Fox Valley’s help in the past 6 months I have lost a total of 60 pounds, and I am hoping to lose an additional 40 pounds within the next 6 months. I already have the ability to perform activities with my grandchildren that I thought were lost to the wayside because of my weight. I feel better, I look better, and most importantly I am healthier. I am grateful that Real Wellness has entered my life and the  program will continue to influence my choices for years to come.

I am extremely pleased with my experience with Real Wellness Fox Valley! From the first time I met Jason, I knew that he was the health coach that would provide the example, guidance, and accountability I was looking for to achieve results. The results I was looking for were to lose body fat and gain muscle mass both in terms of percentage and tone.  In particular, Jason catered the exercise training specifically for me to help me develop the results I was looking for, not just what they thought I would want.  Having not been to a trainer before, I was also greatly thrilled with the one-on-one coaching to teach me how to do exercises properly. I also liked that the training changed over time as I was looking to do different things, first to lose some body fat and then to do more tone development.  Jennifer has been great at varying exercises for different muscle development and to provide different examples of things we could do on our own either at home or at the gym.

 I also liked that the nutrition portion of this wellness program progressed from eating specifically what was needed to initially lose body fat to eating what I would be regularly in the future under new guidelines to improve my health now and to maintain that health for the long term. Real Wellness Fox Valley doesn’t just teach what we need to do for a healthy lifestyle, they also follow the same nutrition and exercise guidelines to maintain a healthy lifestyle for themselves, setting a great example to follow.

 Another benefit of this program that I certainly enjoyed was that I could not only be accountable to my coaches, Jason & Jennifer, but also to my wife Shelby who also took part in this program. She was looking for different results than I was, so she has been taking part in a slightly different program, however, we’ve been able to train together in our sessions at Real Wellness Fox Valley, which has been fun. This has also allowed us to keep ourselves accountable at home in our eating and exercise programs, which is easier when both spouses are taking part.

Overall, I’m very pleased with my results body fat loss and muscle mass gain and have Real Wellness Fox Valley to thank. I could not have done this on my own!

Hi, my name is Kris Peterson and I am 59 years old and weighed 256 pounds before coming to Real Wellness Fox Valley. I have struggled with my weight throughout the years but didn’t really try to lose weight until May of 2010 when I had my yearly check up with my doctor. When the results came back he told me I had dangerously high cholesterol and was on the verge of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hearing that from my doctor I knew it was time to do something about my health. I heard about Real Wellness Fox Valley through a flyer in the mail that I received about a new weight loss center in the area and decided to give it a shot. I was skeptical at first if I could follow through with the program. Jason told me to give it one week and see how it goes. After the 7th day I came back in for an appointment and found out that I lost 12 pounds within the first week! I felt so good about myself and motivated that there was no question that I was going to continue with the program. With the guidance from the Real Wellness Fox Valley team in nutrition and exercise I have now lost over 30 pounds and 10% body fat! I still have 20 pounds more to lose but thanks to Real Wellness Fox Valley I am confident that I will be able to lose the weight and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
