I've got just about a month to kick 10 pounds. I'm going to get there. Now let me say this, the fact that I've been able to get in the best shape since high school is remarkable. Between watching my kids all day (my one year old is screaming at me right now), traveling all over the country and overcoming most of my fat causing habits i'm really stunned and proud. Most...

It's amazing to be back at Fitness Together. Life's easier when you have a support network and you're back in the workout flow. I'm stronger from head to toe. Make no mistake that makes chasing kids, playing raquetball, playing golf, running around the track and just everday life easier. When I started I could only pull off 24 pushups in a row. Now I'm to 40. My 5k...

I'm in the middle of week 2 at Fitness Together South Tulsa. I've already seen and felt results from just four workout sessions with Aaron and Rodney. I'm not going to focus on that as much today though.The main thing I've felt is the return of my sanity. I watch my two kids every day. My four and one year old kiddos run me ragged. At the end of the day sometimes it feels...

Without question, the best workout experience of my life was five years ago with Aaron Henson at Fitness Together. I started at 252 and quickly worked my way to 234. My strength, at the time, was the best it's ever been. My stamina, although not quite as good as high school, certainly was the best it has been since. Henson and the training staff were incredible....
