There is much to be said about being healthy and happy, especially when every day you wake, you are amazed to be alive because the weight you carry around is such a fatal burden. The weight of stress, and the weight of my unhealthy body is what convinced me to attend the free health seminar being offered in the spring of 2011 by Sync Fitness & Movement. I figured after having had several visits to the doctors and constantly being told that I should consider losing a bit of weight and having my then 16 year old daughter wondering and worrying if I would live long enough to see her graduate high school, prompted me to do something! I sat in this seminar listening carefully to the knowledge that was being shared about caloric intake, proper exercise and other facts in taking care of the one body we were given. I asked tons of questions and Sync Fitness & Movement never made me feel like an idiot. He patiently answered my questions, resolved some fears and later, won me over in the decision to hire him as my fitness coach. I made tons of mistakes in my selections of food choice and I was wimpy...most times, but the patience and encouragement he demonstrated will never be forgotten and forever appreciated. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He pushed me to limits I had no clue to could obtain. Being 30 pounds lighter,off blood pressure pills and a lot less doctor's visits is the greatest feeling I could have and the best gift to give to myself and my daughter. Sync Fitness & Movement has taught me how to keep this weight down over the past year, though his focus wasn't just on weight control. It was about the quality of life I was giving myself for my family. I couldn't believe how passionate he was about this issue.

This passion he had caused me to want to share his knowledge with others so I invited him to be a guest speaker at my school. I wanted him to share with my colleagues and the students in our building what I had learned about increasing the quality of life, working on stress management and get the basics on eating healthier! He delivered! Not just one visit, but he continues to come as a service to the community to inform our young people about the benefits of exercise and eating with awareness. I started a Food and Fitness Club which was inspired by the work Sync Fitness & Movement has done in our school. The students have learned so much about health and exercise because of him.

He impressed my colleagues so much so, that he was requested to come into our building after school to train us teachers!!! What a reward! Having someone who gave us what we needed...stress relief, nutrition information, food plans and data beyond what we expected...at a cost that almost made us feel like we were robbing him, but all he wanted was to get people on track to living a quality life because that is his passion! Amazing!!!

Sync Fitness & Movement is truly dedicated to this mission of health and I am grateful to have been coached by him. Not only do I view him as my coach, he is now my friend because only a friend would put his life into making my life whole again. I watched my daughter walk across the graduation stage and had the energy and joy to celebrate ALL week with her. I have the energy and flexibility to run around with my 6th graders. Most importantly, my quality of life improved dramatically. He is too humble to discuss all the lives he has changed. He deserves the honor of being 2014 HYLETE Fitness Professional of the Year because he has demonstrated the characteristics of a professional committed to America being fit. He practices what he preaches and delivers results with humbleness and patience. I thank him for his dedication and commitment to fitness.
