Meet my client Catie
Catie is a member of my personal training app and is one of my first online clients to complete the Build Your Stronger Self 16 week program. Catie is solely an online client and although I have never met Catie I feel completely connected to her and her journey.
I offered Catie my 16 week program through a series of challenges prior to the program being released. She jumped on these challenges from challenge 1, day 1 and stayed with me through the entire 16 week process. She is currently an active member of my app and continues to use the 16 week program workouts on a daily basis to maintain her progress.
At the start of this journey one of the first things I had her do was take before photos and enter body stats that we could keep track of and look back on. The first month of the program began with phase 1 – building a strong foundation and she did just that. She started to learn the basic exercises, posture, form and technique of each move.
The second month took her to phase 2 and incorporated more challenging exercises, complex moves and combinations to really get the heart rate up, body moving and feeling challenged. Each month I scheduled updated photos and body stats and by the end of month 2 is when I really started to see some results in her body and in her stats. I also asked about how she felt and if she felt stronger. She said she was feeling stronger and getting through the workouts better.
Here is what she said during phase 2:
“What a difference a few weeks make… did the workout #7 today and yes, it is still hard, but I find that I actually get to try to push myself instead of just trying to make it through the whole workout like I was the first time I did it.”
Heading into phase 3 and 4 she was already feeling stronger. Catie continued to be consistent and get the workouts done. She had some injuries during the last few months and took rest and recovery as needed but, always went right back to it. Catie remained committed and consistent throughout the program and I am so proud of all her progress. She has lost inches and pounds in just a few months and more importantly feels and is a stronger version of herself.
I look forward to continuing to be a part of Catie’s journey and am excited to see her continued progress!
Here is Catie’s experience in her own words:
“Working with Joy through the app on my phone has succeeded where so many other things have not for a few reasons.
First, I learned last year that I definitely am more likely to stick with a workout program when someone is keeping me accountable. Joy continued to check in throughout the process, even if the challenge portion of each session was over, she would continue to encourage me.
Second, the format is great for me. Like so many of us, I have a very busy life. I am a working mom and finding time to get to the gym is nearly impossible. Having these workouts that I can do at home, whenever I can squeeze it in, is perfect for me. Some of the workouts are as little as 17 minutes… and yes, I tend to use those workouts a lot. But, even the long workouts are only about 30 minutes.
Some days I fit in my exercise before the day starts, some days I get my workout in after the kids go to bed, and other days I do the workout and my 1-1/2 year old is climbing across me during the crunches, or laying under me during the plank exercises. I love that they are seeing me taking care of myself, as I think it will help them prioritize it for themselves as well.
Also, the program is flexible. There is enough variety to the workouts that, even with an injury, there is usually a workout that I can still do that allows me to rest that body part, and still work some others. Plus, I can use the app wherever my phone works, I can take it with me when I go away. Some of the workouts don’t require any equipment, except a pair of sneakers, allowing me to easily get exercise in even when I am not at home.
I feel healthier, I feel stronger, and I definitely feel better each day that I get a workout in.”
