By: CDPHP® Fitness Connect at the Ciccotti Center Staff
We’re inspired by his hard work and commitment. Chris has lost over 50 pounds so far. Read more about his inspiring story in this interview below.
CYC: How would you explain your health and fitness level before you joined the Center? What were your biggest challenges?
CS: I have a bad back. I have had a hard time walking or standing for long periods of time. I was very frustrated that I couldn’t exercise, and I was extremely overweight, 223.2lbs to be exact.
CYC: When did you join the Center? How did you hear about us?
CS: I joined the Center on August 2, 2021. Originally, I misunderstood information. I thought it was physical therapy prescribed by a doctor, until a friend explained that anyone can join. I then took a tour with Cheri and decided to join.
CYC: What program(s) and/or staff member(s) made the most impact in reaching your fitness goals?
CS: I had a 30-minute assessment with Cassandra. She showed me all the machines that would be perfect for me. Every staff member I deal with is professional, responsible, and makes me feel like we are all a family.
CYC: Is there an achievement or contribution that you are most proud of? If so, why?
CS: My weight loss, as I am now 166.6lbs and I lost a total of 56.6lbs. Hitting the heavy bags is one of the things I love–great cardio and provides more flexibility for my back.
CYC: Would you recommend the Center to others? If so, why?
CS: Yes, most definitely. In fact, when anyone compliments me on my achievement, I tell them I couldn’t have done it without CDPHP® Fitness Connect at the Ciccotti Center.
CYC: Is there anything else you would want to share with us?
CS: When I go into the Center, it’s extremely clean, the staff is great, and the lifeguards in the pool are very professional. Please keep up the great work!
