SPOTLIGHT ON…… Tom Fela!
JANUARY 2015
My name is Tom Fela and I been working out for as long as I
can remember. Granted…Breaks we’re
taken along the way but I always considered myself a very active person.
Growing up with 5 brothers and 2 sisters, we we’re always outside running
around the neighborhood and playing a variety of sports. As an adult, I
belonged to several gyms and took full advantage of my memberships. It was at
one of these gyms (Valpo – YMCA) that I met Ian.
The last few years were, to say the least, stressful. I took
care of an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s. My weight was out of control, my
moods were all over the place, and I lost direction on my own health. My workouts were routine and noticed
that I wasn’t getting much benefit from all the working out I was doing. It was
time for a trainer.
I was introduced to Ian at the YMCA. I wasn’t sure what to
expect but after our initial evaluation, I was worried. He had me doing
pushups…I HATE PUSH UPS. Or at least I used to hate doing pushups. Ian took me
out of my comfort zone and had me working out in a whole different manner than
what I was used to. I noticed that my body was changing (for the better) almost
immediately.
I followed Ian to PUMPS and continue to train. With the new
facility, I started training on TRX, Pilates, and MOTR. All welcomed additions
to my new and improved workout routine.
For the NEW YEAR ……I look forward to what the New Year will
bring. One goal I will continue working on is overall good health. Working out
has helped me regain control of my weight, stress is under control, and my
overall health now is excellent. I want to thank Ian and PUMPS for helping me
obtain these goals and continuing on meeting all future goals in 2015.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
