Well, after a few weeks of consistent "clean eating" I have to say that while I
may have put on a little weight, my energy level is ridiculous.
My energy was always low and my Doctor wanted me to get B12 shots monthly because my body doesn't absorb
the vitamin but now this food is making me feel fantastic.
I still sometimes crave beer and sugar, but I limit it significantly and am noticing
some great changes. I actually stay awake in the car on the way to work, I
wake up in the morning (before my alarm) and feel rested and ready to go.
My nights are still fairly early but I am much more productive. I just
wanted to share that with you because I know I was completely stubborn and
thought I could improve my muscle tone and fitness without modifying my eating habits........

I signed up 6 weeks after I had my 4th baby, I was determined to get my body back.
Thanks to Richard and his challenging workouts and nutrition advice, friends tell me I look the better than I ever have! I've not only lost the 65lbs I put on during pregnancy but I have also added strong toned muscles. I love that I can see the difference my hard work makes and I feel great!
I love that Richard cares about me personally and he constantly challenges me to be the best I can be. I also love that it does not matter who you are, what shape you are in, his workouts are great for everyone!
Don't wait....stop your excuses and give it a try!

"Training sessions with Richard are absolutely great! They are tough but that is what I want in a workout session. He makes sure I do the exercises properly, with the right form and supplies lots of encouragement. I expect to work hard each time I attend one of his sessions, but I also know I will have a few laughs and enjoy the camaraderie of Richard, Karen and fellow bootcampers! Richard's bootcamps are a great experience and keep me going back for more!"

"I have been working with Richard for almost 5 months now and what a change it has made in my life. I had been working out for some time on my own, reading fitness books and trying to put routines together on my own but really had no idea what I was doing and not seeing the results I wanted. So I decided to hire a personal trainer. That's when I met Richard and what difference he bought to my life. He keeps me focused and on track. He makes sure I am doing the right things, the right way, to get the results I'm looking for. He is always in touch and shows me that he is truly interested in my fitness success. He is the BEST! Anyone truly interested in really getting fit should hire a personal trainer, in my opinion. The results are far superior than a do it yourself routine. And with that in mind , I couldn't recommend a better one than Richard Insley!"

Richards classes are up beat and fun. He will make you work, and some days you don't even realise just how you worked until the day after! He will answer all your fitness questions and customize any program to suit your abilities. Richard keeps me motivated to train even on the days we don not have classes .

I wanted to let you know that I am very grateful for the work you put into the program. I have just turned 60 and have noticed so many things that are different about myself. Yesterday, I met with my former colleagues and boss for lunch. I had not seen them since January. They immediately commented on how I looked and asked me what I was doing to achieve this look. (I have lost 30 pounds since they saw me) I told them about the exercise sessions and the encouragement that I was receiving in your classes. I have noticed subtle differences too. My Right knee which was broken and dislocated in the '94 bike accident is now strong enough to allow me to wear a low dress shoe. Up until now I was wearing oxfords. These might have been cute and trendy with dress pants but I have always wished that I could wear a dressier shoe even if it were to be only for a couple of hours. Well yesterday, I wore the dressier shoes that I had in my closet and was able to walk in them as if I did not have a knee problem at all. I lasted 8 hours in them. They are sensible shoes but do look a whole lot better than the oxfords. With a stronger knee, I am now considering wearing a skirt again. I have not been able to do that for so long since oxfords don't really look good with a skirt. My options have increased and that is amazing. It's taken 4 months to get here but I know I never want to go back to what I was. The other thing I noticed is that my shoes fit better. Is it possible to have fat on my feet? Could I have lost weight in my feet as well? This was amazing too.
I figure that it will take me a whole year to change some of my bad habits and make this a whole new life style that will stay with me for the rest of my life. So I am committed to sticking with the program. Fitness is allowing me to deal with the whole grieving process too. I have always been active but to lose someone can put you into a slump physically and also mentally. To have an accountability commitment like your exercise program has really helped me stay focused.
So thanks again for doing this and also for sending out the notes on life style change and nutrition.
Just thought I needed to let you know that you have really helped me. Thanks for that.

Hi Richard! I just wanted to thank you for your emails - I do read them all and have passed some onto different people who I think would benefit from them too...
An update from my health/weight - I am now down to 158 lbs!! Which is great since I was over 180 about 5 months ago. I am not dieting nor am I doing any crazy slimming drugs or pills, etc. I have just changed my lifestyle!
I've had a few folks ask me what I'm doing differently to make such a huge change, and my answer is “I got my ass off the couch, quit letting the TV dictate my life, and started to eat simple, healthy foods while watching my portion control!!” It was that simple!!
Richard! My life is great!! Since I made this decision, my smile has returned and my self esteem has come back 3 fold!!!
Thanks again for your emails! They speak volumes and I appreciated them and your time and effort put out!
