He listened to me

Alright, I’m going to serve you all the tea on Good Time Fitness garnished with a dash of basil, a dash of honey and a tablespoon of lemon. 

I’ve been seeing Nate for about a year. When I started I was fabulous but I was not in shape, I was not confident, I had no fitness knowledge and hadn’t stepped into a gym in roughly 10 years. Being in my [redacted], I was losing energy and beginning to feel aches and pains everywhere. 

From the start, Nate was kind, easy going, informative. He listened to me if I felt I was over exerting myself (I almost died on the floor a couple of times) and allowed me to break as needed. Everything was nice and slow and he kept meticulous track of every workout and always let me know when I had exceeded a previous best which was insanely good motivation. 

The first time I set foot into the gym with Nate I was uncomfortable and completely lacked any self confidence. I draped myself in hoodies and baggy clothes. Now, a year later, my friends and colleagues comment on how much trimmer I look, how I don’t wear baggy jackets to cover myself anymore, and do I still wear hoodies and baggy shorts to the gym? No sir, no ma’am, no turkey, no salami – I wear gym clothes realness and skanky short shorts! 

I have gained enough knowledge that I am empowered to go to the gym by myself on non-training days and I’ve made a ton of progress – none of it would have been possible without Nate’s guiding hand.

(Please note: Nate is huge on squats and deadlifts, so if you work at it and listen to him you will need new pants from bulging thighs and a gigantic rear within 6 months – personal experience.)
