"...who sincerely care about those that they are helping..."

I have been working out at TWC for two years now. TWC gave me my life back. I had by-pass surgery the year before I started but had not taken care of myself like I should. Realizing that if I did not do something about my weight and nutritional habits (bad ones) that the quality of my life would just get worse and worse. I started the end of January by spring break I had lost 20 pounds and could walk without getting out of breath. The August before I had gone with my son to San Francisco to help ...

"The trainers at TWC are amazing."

Deciding to hire a personal trainer takes a lot of commitment…both emotionally and financially!  Suddenly, not showing up at the gym not only affects you, but also can affect the person you have an appointment with!  However, it has also been the greatest single thing I have done for both me and my family.  The trainers at TWC are amazing.  Yes, I have had physical progress, and continue to reach goals in endurance, strength and weight loss…but what I have notic ...

"You have pushed me past my limits,..."

It doesn’t matter whether you are new to the gym or are already exercising you SHOULD consider working with a personal trainer. Be sure to hire someone who knows anatomy, physiology, nutrition and someone who will personalize your workout to work for you. CHARLIE LIMA IS THAT TRAINER! If you want to workout on your own, you've got to make a time and energy commitment each day. That's a difficult decision when so many other things demand your attention. It is so easy to give in to tho ...

"I can actually see definition and muscle now."

Most of my adult life I have been on every diet known and could drop weight easily, but it would always come back within a few months.  In the last five years, I had steadily gained at least 8-10 pounds each year.  At that rate, by the time I was 50 I could see that my weight and health would be out of control.  Then, a dear friend recommended that I contact you.  What a blessing that was. I appreciate so much, your steadfast coaching and continued patience; this has brought ...

"I feel like conquering the world now"

Charlie, I never got the chance to tell you how much the 40 day challenge did for me. Until I tried that challenge I thought I knew how to diet, apparently I didn't because it seems that I never lost more than maybe 5lbs and had no energy. Well I have lost that 20lbs and am down to a size 8 that I have not seen in decades....Thank You so much for all of your help and motivation, I feel like conquering the world now.  Thanks So Much Jan Pittillo ...

"It is now November and I have lost a total of 120 lbs..."

I started January 1,2008 like many others hoping to shed a few extra pounds this year and at 372 pounds it was more than a few that needed to be lost. I started the weight loss journey on my own in the gym like I have in years past but had failed many times a few months into it. I hit that road block like years past but I promised myself this year would be different so I contacted Charlie about a nutrition session. I met with Charlie and to my surprise I found out that I was not eating enough ca ...

"...I'm over 50 and if I can do it,..."

I began the Train with Charlie Boot Camp in March, 2008.   I had been "halfway" committed to a diet and exercise program for the past 3-4 years and my extra weight reflected that fact.   I have known Charlie Lima and Jamie Hall for 2 years now.   Jamie is the Boot Camp Director, the "Colonel of the Camp" so to speak, who in March 2008 encouraged me to start the next camp, while Charlie encouraged me to couple that with a diet program, so I did.&n ...

"I now pay attention to what I eat and write everything down."

Hi my name is Lisa Lowe and I started with Train With Charlie a year ago this month. In that time I have lost right at 100 pounds, 19 inches and 9 percent body fat. I started with Adam, a TWC Trainer, in May of last year. At that time I weighed almost 300 pounds and wore a size 26/28, I now weigh less than 200 pounds and wear a size 18 pant and a 14/16 top. I signed up with Adam for weekly personal training sessions and met with Charlie for a nutrition session. I now pay attention ...
