– HEART ISSUES –

“I reached my maximum weight of 285lbs in the late 90’s and decided to start dieting and exercising. I did it the wrong way and starved myself – only eating salads and skipping both breakfast and dinner. I joined a gym and worked out with a co-worker several times a week. Though I did lose over 100 pounds over a year’s time, it didn’t last. I slowly went back to my old ways and gained most of the weight back. In 2006 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication. In 2010 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I didn’t want to take more pills, but eventually needed additional medication, even with some dieting and exercise. Things stalled until I moved to Indiana in 2016 and started at the best studio in the world, Heavy Metal Fitness! Unhealthy habits of the past caught up with me though, and I had a heart attack this past March due to 100% blockage of the LAD artery and 99% blockage of the RCA artery requiring 3 stents. (All that time I thought I had bad heartburn.) Now thanks to my doctors and training with Bob & Larry, I’m on the mend and have reached a weight below 200lbs that I haven’t done in decades!”

“Thank you Tracy & Bob so very much for the years of knowledge and help that you both have given me. I am feeling prepared to continue my fitness journey, and I am so grateful to have had time with you, my awesome trainers, who I will miss so much at college!”

Lola C.

“Friendly, clean and such fun place to work out! Bob and Tracy are experienced and highly knowledgeable. Have been working out worth them for years and each session rocks! Highly recommend!”

Anna K.

“Great place, very knowledgeable trainers, very friendly and a great approach to working out. Love this place.”

Pawel G.

“This fitness studio is awesome! Bob and Tracy are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and it’s clear that they are passionate about helping people. I also love their ‘functional’ approach to fitness. Nothing boring about this place (or the owners!) Highly recommend.”

– CANCER RECOVERY –

“I want to give a shout out to my personal trainer & friend, Tracy! We have been having sessions via Zoom weekly (since being quarantined). She knows how to push me to keep moving without over pushing me. She listens when I say I am unable to do something at that time & it’s just great to work with during this process for me. Thank you for your support, Tracy! I’m trying to stay as active as I can….I try to do yoga a couple mornings a week & if I’m having a good week I get a few minutes on the elliptical. Staying active, keeping hydrated, trying to get as much rest as possible and just overall listening to my body! These are all great ideas for everyone!”
