Hi, my name is Ajsela Purisic. I have been attending Real Fitness for 3 months now. I remember my first day here. I had no intentions of going. I did not want to come whatsoever. Not even to try the free 7 day trial. Anyhow, I made excuses not to go, even for just one day because I was lazy, depressed, and completely out of shape. My first day there, EVERYONE there was so nice to me. The trainers welcomed my brother and me to Real Fitness. TJ had told us all about it, and its purpose for being there as a CrossFit gym. When I went home, yes, I was extremely sore that I could not even sit down without support from a nearby object. But, that was the best kind of pain I have felt in a while. My brother and I went almost everyday that week and got a taste of what Real Fitness was all about. In the beginning, it wasn't so bad because we scaled the workouts to our personal level but as time passed by, I challenged myself to do better and better. Before I started Real Fitness, my mood was always low, I was always lazy and cranky. I did not want to do anything or go anywhere. I was NOT productive whatsoever. Over time as I kept attending Real Fitness, I realized that my times for each workout improved by the slightest seconds. I am now able to lift more weights then with what I had started with, I can run a longer distance without stopping and I can somewhat lift more of my body weight then I did before. Yeah, it may not sound like much, but to me personally, its a great achievement. I am very proud of myself till' this day because not only did I lose a tremendous amount of weight, I feel healthier, my mood is now happier and I am 100% more active than I ever was in my life. I eat healthier and I am a brighter person in general. Real Fitness honestly did change my life in 3 months. I don't know-- now I can't imagine my life the way it was before I decided to join. Real Fitness is like a 2nd family to me. Everybody there has respect for others there because we all go through the same pain once we step in those doors. Everyone is friends with everyone and we all motivate each other to push ourselves and do better. We all encourage one another. I have made so many friends at Real Fitness and its fantastic. The trainers at Real Fitness motivated me and helped me reach my goals. My favorite thing is that once I got a great time on one of the workouts, that's when Real Fitness became addictive. I go practically everyday to get better times and do the best that I can. Yeah, you might think that this is too good to be true, I used to think that this was not possible, that I could never lose weight and get the body that I want, but I achieved it, and it is not to good to be true, you can't do it alone, I realized that in time. I had people to support me and I am very thankful for the trainers that I worked with because they helped me become the person I wanted to be and get the body I always wanted. I am now a more and confident version of Ajsela! So thank you Real Fitness for changing my life!
