Awesome success story!

One of the most exciting and rewarding things in my life is to see a client realize their goals and knowing that in some small (or big) way, you were part of making a person’s life better.

I received an email from one of the most committed and hard working client’s I have ever worked with, and I wanted to share it with you.   She was committed to making a change in her life.  She stayed on track with the Santa Monica Sweat program 100% of the time; she never missed a day of boot camp, she did her cardio sessions on the off days, and she followed the recommended nutrition program (which doesn’t involve starving or depriving yourself).

This girl proved that hard work and commitment does pay off, and her success drives me to inspire others.  And I hope what you read below will inspire you to achieve your own goals.  (visit www.santamonicasweat.com to get started!)

Her email:

Hey Laura - So i have a pair of pants that i bought in 2001.  They were a pair that I bought for a party and they were pretty sexy and fit me like a glove.  A big hit at the party!  lol.  Over the years i gained so much weight that i couldn’t even get them on.  So i kept them as my ‘goal’ pants.  Most people have a bikini they want to fit into.  I had these pair of pants.  So i’ve kept them in my closet, determined that i would wear them again.

Well…I tried them on this morning and THEY FIT!!!!  i screamed!  omg…i can not even tell you how this feels!!!  After the pants fit i went through a box in my closet of a few other clothes that i kept in the hopes i would wear them again…nothing as symbolic as the ‘pants,’ but some items that i really wanted to be able to wear again.  And they all fit.  It’s like i just went shopping!  So the pants are now hanging in my closet, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear them out.  I’m sure they are excited to see the light after 8 years!!!

So i want to thank you soooo much for pushing me and for all of your support.  Your class has been amazing and i am so grateful for you (even though i really do give you a lot of shit)!     See you tomorrow!
