Do it the FITBODY Way!
With a lot of hard work and dedication, 47 Year old Jen Grant transformed her body gaining muscle while losing bodyfat to achieve the fitbody of her dreams!
“Muscle was the key to help me feel better, have more energy, increase my strength, and to keep my body healthy and mobile for years to come.“
“Our marriage is stronger than ever now. We trust God and practice surrendering to Him daily. It’s simple, but not easy. Staying healthy physically and mentally is the same. The work must be done daily.”
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT JULIE LOHRE’S ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAM AND TRAINING THE FITBODY WAY?
I found Julie doing a simple Google search for a bikini fitness coach. She had all the qualities I was looking for and offered a program that seemed doable.
WHAT UNIQUE CHALLENGES HAVE YOU FACED IN YOUR FITBODY JOURNEY?
We all have challenges in life, they just come in different packages. I happened to be really great at codependence and found myself a perfect alcoholic. All joking aside, recovery is a lifelong process and one that I am truly grateful to do on a daily basis. My husband has been sober for 10 years and our marriage is stronger than ever now. We trust God and practice surrendering to Him daily. It’s simple, but not easy. Staying healthy physically and mentally is the same. The work must be done daily. Sometimes the work is to rest. That’s often the hardest one for me.
WHEN YOU FIRST CONSIDERED ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING WITH FITBODY, WHAT CONCERNS DID YOU HAVE?
I really didn’t know what to expect with online training, but I liked the idea of working though her program on my own schedule. Honestly, I spend a ton of time (probably too much) on my phone or the internet already, so it didn’t seem all that odd to work with a coach this way. Having the phone conversation sealed the deal as I felt assured that Julie would be available to work with me through any challenges I had while going through her program.
TELL US THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR FITBODY WAY TRANSFORMATION
Prior to working with Julie and learning the FITBODY way, I was eating too few calories and doing far too much cardio. Julie helped me reset my metabolism, which helped me lose a few pounds while eating more calories. My body composition has changed quite a bit as well. I have a lot more muscle and feel so much stronger and capable. She holds me accountable by checking in every two weeks, which helps to keep me disciplined.
Why Low Calorie Diets DON’T Work!
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE AN INCREDIBLE FITBODY TRANSFORMATION? HOW HAS YOUR OUTLOOK ABOUT YOUR BODY AND YOUR LIFE CHANGED?
I feel fantastic and want to continue making progress towards increasing muscle definition, strength, and overall fitness. I also love sharing what I have learned with other women. I am more confident pretty much everywhere I go, not in an arrogant way, but in a way that actually makes me think of others more and myself less. I am no longer self-conscious because internally I feel good about myself and how I am caring for my body which frees me to be the best version of myself for others. It’s an awesome feeling.
WHAT SUPPLEMENTS DID YOU USE DURING THE PROCESS?
I used all the recommended Beverly International Supplements Julie suggested; however my favorite was the UMP Protein in chocolate. It gave me the extra protein I needed along with satisfying the sweet tooth I had from time to time. I blended it with hot water and a little cinnamon powder for an afternoon treat.
WHAT IS THE BEST AND WORST PART ABOUT WORKING WITH JULIE LOHRE?
The best part of working with Julie Lohre as my online fitness coach is that she plans everything for you so you don’t have to and she is super encouraging. I believe she really cares about her clients. The worst part is I don’t know if I will ever actually meet her in person! I would really enjoy training with her one day.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
If you are desiring to level up your fitness journey, give Julie a try. She absolutely knows what she is doing. I needed a program that was spelled out for me and was straightforward. She took the guesswork out of what I would be doing at the gym each day and what I needed to eat. Her meal plan can be adjusted so long as the macros (protein, carbs, and fat) remain the same. And you can eat all the veggies you want! With a little prep work for my meals, and strict adherence to tracking macros, I was easily able to stay on target with the plan. She can help you get that 6-pack and feel like a million bucks whether you are in a bikini on a yacht in the Bahamas next to Mrs. California, or walking into the local grocery store in sweats. You will glow from the inside out wherever you go!
My final encouragement to share is to remember your why. Why do you want to do this in the first place? My “why” was to be healthy for my family. To feel good from the inside out. To have strength, mobility, confidence, ability to keep up with the boys, a clear head, healthy heart and less disease. Be my husband’s dream girl (yes, that’s important!!). I want to inspire others, believe in myself, trust God and be a good steward of what I’ve been given- this body! I want to be a role model for my kids and fight back stigmas about women and aging. I want to remember that it’s my job to make me feel good and create a good life for myself. No one else can do that but me.
