Lost 70 lbs

Body Fat 36.4% to 22.6%

Lost 14% Body Fat

Last December, my husband approached me about us setting a goal of getting healthier in 2023. So, we made an appointment to talk to Rob at RobZFitness, who was recommended to him by our primary care physician Dr. Shawn Wallace. Upon meeting with Rob, we both decided it was time to commit to a healthier way of life. With the help of Rob and Taylor, and the support of each other, we have lost about 170 pounds total over the last 8-10 months. I have lost 70 pounds and lost 14% body fat in 10 month. My overall fitness level was at 15% when I started and now its at 88% for women at my age.

Like a lot of women, I have struggled with my weight all my life, especially after kids. This time my weight loss feels different. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the beginning, but I am surprised at how much stronger I’ve become, and the weight seem to just come off, losing an average of 2 pounds a week. I am 5’10 and I haven’t weighed under 200lbs in years. Now I weigh 195. With Rob and Taylor’s encouragement, I am pushing myself to get stronger and doing exercises I never thought I could accomplish. I have a few limitations with my knees but both Rob and Taylor worked around it and still push me to get stronger.  

Rob focused more on strengthening during his sessions and I am lifting amounts I never imagined. Taylor designated Wednesdays as Carolyn’s Core night. With his help, I am doing core exercises that I never thought I was capable of. With the support of Rob, Taylor and my husband who encouraged me all the way, I am stronger and healthier than I’ve been in a long time.  

Thank you for helping me get stronger and healthier.

Lost 39 lbs

Body Fat 41.8% to 29.6%

Pant Size 2XL to Medium

I have always struggled with my weight throughout my whole life. As an adult I experienced periods of mild depression. Over the years my weight spiraled out of control before I knew it. I realized that it was time to change my lifestyle for the better. I was a size 20/22 and had decided that enough was enough. For Christmas this past year, my family gave me a gift certificate to RobZFitness.

I was more than a little nervous and intimidated about going to a Gym and discussing my weight with a stranger and not to mention where I should start. I just had to put those thoughts behind me and focus on what my trainers, Rob Zulkoski had to say. The result oriented process was very organized and easy to follow. Through their dedication, motivation, passion, I have taken back control of my life. I am now more active than I have ever been and I can also say that I no longer experience any more depression.

People are so amazed with my results; they ask me if I have had surgery or a facelift. Just a few weeks ago, my hair dresser that I have been seeing for years was waiting on me and she did not even realize that it was me sitting there waiting. They can’t believe the results I have seen in just 3 months.

When I first started with RobZFitness, I weighed in at 225 pounds, and my body fat was at 41.8%. Exactly 3 months later, I have dropped a total of 39 pounds to 186 pounds, lost over 26 inches, and my body fat has dropped from 41.8% to 29.6%, a total of 12%. My clothes are continuing to get bigger and bigger on me. I have dropped from a size 2XL in pants size to a medium. All you have to do is listen to what Rob says to do and trust me that it will work, because I am living proof.

“I Lost 56lbs, 13% BF, 7″ in Waist”

Ever since I was a child I have always had a goal in mind of becoming an Air Force pilot, but at 350 pounds and size 48 pants I knew that I was a long way away from that goal.  I attempted losing the weight on my own but after reaching 325 pounds I noticed that my weight was no longer going down like I had wanted.

I heard from a friend about her colleague’s great success at RobZFitness and I decided to give them a call to see what they could offer me.  I was never looking for a quick solution to reach my goal.  I wanted to work for it because I knew at that point that I needed help to get where I wanted to be.  A quick phone call later and I was set up for my fitness evaluation with Rob.  Through the course of his evaluation I began to realize where I was on the fitness level for men at my age and where I needed to be for my goal were a lot farther apart than I had thought.  Within a week I began training at RobZFitness and I have never regretted that decision.  Even over the course of a few months they were able to find new ways to force me and my body to continue on the right path towards better overall health.

My trip to better health is not yet over, but with the help of all the trainers at RobZFitness I am much closer to it.  So far over the course of six months I can tell that I am already in better shape than I was in high school, and probably the best shape of my life this far.  So far I have lost 56 pounds, lost 13.4% body fat and lost 7.5 inches around my chest, 7 inches around my waistline and 4 inches around my thigh. Already through my short time at RobZFitness I have been able to accomplish great things and one of my favorites is not having to pay extra for the plus size clothes.  Before too much longer I will finally be able to purchase pant sizes in the 30’s and I have RobZFitness to thank for that.

“I Lost 36 lbs, 6” in Hips, and 2 Dress Sizes”

Shortly before my 47th Birthday I decided to make a change in my life that was way past due. That is LOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING IN SHAPE! It was time to start a new Path to get happy & healthy again. In many previous attempts at losing weight, I would always fail. Among a host of contributing factors in my life, the one causing the most problem was the obvious lack of self control. Not exercising and poor eating habits just added to the already big problem (I was already experiencing health concerns directly related to my weight, for instance – High Blood Pressure to name one).

So that’s when I found my way to RobZFitness. While consulting with Rob, he explained his comprehensive fitness plans and strategies on eating properly. I felt very confident in him and his team. These guys were the ONES FOR ME!

My first scheduled workout fell exactly on my 47th Birthday October 7th. Rob’s encouragement along the way helped me so much!

It’s now January 10, three months since starting this FITNESS plan, I not only feel healthier and much happier, I have LOST 36 POUNDS!!, 6.5% body fat, a couple of dress sizes!, 6 Inches in hips, 3.5 inches in waist.

I now have the knowledge that Rob provided to me of proper exercise and eating properly (a new way of life) I will be able to continue.

Going thru this experience, I believe I am equipped to go forward on my own and continue to get fit and lose more weight.

Thanks Rob!!
