True story. I was a personal trainer for years in NJ and I would like to tell you about one of my most memorable clients. His name was John (no, that wasn’t his real name) and he was an obese chain smoker before I met him. He was so addicted to food, that he...
“I signed up for Team Beachbody mainly as a commitment to a new me (though the discounts are nice…). For years I’ve been just packing on the fat. Then a couple of years ago I had knee surgery which was a great excuse for why I couldn’t do even the little bit of exercise...
