“I’m a dad, husband and a business owner. Days can be busy, sometimes I get to the gym and
sometimes I don’t. I used to be a member at Arena and wish I was still but my current schedule does
not support it. I ran into Will and I brought up how much I missed their training. He recommended I just
try out the Kickstart program. “Thanks, but no thanks…” I thought. I just can’t get to the gym, that’s
why I have an extra 15 that all dads have. All of my mind’s excuses were just that…my excuses. “I know
how do eat, after all, I’ve done paleo, atkins, low carb, high fat, low fat, high carb…” And none of them
really worked.

So I enrolled, because there was literally no reason not to. Extremes never worked for me and I
don’t have a lot of weight to lose. But that’s just it, extremes never work because they are not realistic
or maintainable. My body is not different than basic biology. Arena IS a different type of gym. The
Kickstart is different type of program. Neither one is trendy nor a flashy, but both work for exactly that
reason. The effort and the commitment are up to me…that’s why I had a successful Kickstart.”
