Many of us have had the experience of stepping on the scale and seeing a number that feels too high, or even one that we haven’t seen before. That’s what happened to Tyler of Anytime Fitness in Sauk Rapids, MN. The moment was a wake-up call for Tyler, who had been a high school athlete but had fallen off a consistent workout regimen since. Tyler wasn’t happy with the way he looked and knew he needed to make a change.
Tyler had actually been a gym member twice before, but he’d always pushed himself too hard at first and then soon burned out. It was also difficult to make time for fitness with his work schedule, as he works overnights at a hospital. Thankfully, the combination of working with a coach and shifting his eating habits has made him successful, and the third time turned out to be the charm!
Tyler works with his coach, Jake, and does monthly Evolt scans to track his progress. Jake customizes his workouts both for his schedule, and to accommodate a few past injuries that Tyler is working around. Tyler’s next fitness goals are to lose another ten pounds, improve his strength on his main workout moves, and gain more confidence lifting heavier weights. That coaching has made all the difference for Tyler, who has lost 40 pounds since he joined!
Despite struggling in the past, Tyler has always come back to Anytime Fitness because he felt that he wasn’t just a number. The staff made him feel like he mattered, and they genuinely noticed and cared about his progress. “They care about me… They know not just my fitness goals, but also what I like to do outside the gym.” The example Tyler gave was that if he tells the club staff he’s going fishing over the weekend and won’t be in the gym, they always ask what he caught on Monday. We’re so glad to see him back in the gym and making healthy happen!
