Snap Fitness Health & Fitness Blog 11/05/2013 My Snap Success Story: Chris L. Find New Life at 39 By: Snap Fitness This week is Chris’ 39th birthday. And life has never been better. Until recently, Chris weighed over 400 pounds and paid no attention to his overall health, until a break-up with his long-time girlfriend changed his outlook. “I first started trying to get healthy after my break-up, but I quickly realized that this had to be about me getting in shape for myself or it would never work,” says Chris. “At that point I let go of the negative feelings and moved on with my life.” Part of moving on included joining Snap Fitness in Ionia, Michigan. Chris works a steady 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. schedule every day, so being able to schedule his workouts around his job was important. “I hit the gym for a good two hours every day,” he shares proudly. “I do an hour of lifting and an hour of cardio, and twice a week I participate in 20 minute boot camps. Plus I’m staying active throughout the day like I never have before.” In addition to his new-found workout routine, Chris took a step back and reevaluated his diet. “I eat clean,” he says. “No fast food, no soda, no deep-fried foods. I only drink water or an occasional glass of milk with meals, and I stick to fresh fruits, veggies, tuna and chicken. I can buy five bananas for less money than a candy bar!” Thanks to his exercise and diet changes, Chris is down to an amazing 274 pounds. “I still have a ways to go, but I can’t wait to send you guys my picture next summer,” he says. “My birthday is this Friday, and I’m in the best shape of my life. Thank you Snap Fitness!”
