Crystal's Story:
"“I was initially introduced to the Hitch Fit transformation gym during a MAGLCC B2B approximately 2-3 years ago. I
enjoyed listening to Micah LaCerte and Diana Chaloux – LaCerte’s story and about their business (on-line offerings and
1-on-1 in-person offerings). I briefly spoke to Diana at the event. I obtained her contact information and sent her an
email the next day. Diana was very responsive and got back to me within 24 hours. I considered all she said in the email
and put the email aside for about 1-1/2 years. I tried some other “get-in-shape” have a healthier life style programs
through my work and had minimal success. (I guess you could say… I just wasn’t ready to “transform” yet) Then in June
of 2016 I found that email that Diana had replied to, read through it again and fired off another email. By the first week
of July 2016, I signed up with a Hitch Fit Gym trainer that Diana recommended.
In November 2016, I signed up to take my new found healthier lifestyle to the next level and signed up for Hitch Fit’s
Fitness Model Program and started working with Diana with a next level goal of being a fitness model and stepping out
on stage for a fitness competition. I have always had an active lifestyle, for the most part, injury free but still not fully
satisfied with my body/my health. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to be fit. The other programs I had tried did not
provide the results, education or training I was looking for to maximize my results and sustain/maintain the gains I had
Initially won, I just wanted to lose some weight and feel better (physically, spiritually and emotionally).
The process was straight-forward and after my first two one on one sessions I knew this was something I wanted to try.
I wasn’t 100% convinced, but was willing to put it to the test. I worked up a routine of strength/cardio [3-days strength
training, 2/3-days cardio] I set my alarm for 5:15 AM every morning and started on this new life/journey for the next 16
weeks. My goal was simple, I wanted to lose weight, ideally I wanted to get to 130 lbs. and I wanted to have six pack
abs. Part of my motivation to continue my journey (with the online personal training) was that I hadn’t quite reached my
initial goal of 130 lbs. I was so close and short by only 6 lbs. I still felt great about the gains I had made shedding 24 lbs.
and was feeling great! However, I wanted to take it to the next level, I wanted to reach my new goal.
I was inspired by all the encouragement from everyone at Hitch Fit as well as the compliments from loved ones, family
and friends. They all were inspired by my journey, my discipline through the two biggest eating Holidays of the year and
they wanted to know what my secret was (smiling) and many indicated having a renewed focus on pursuing a healthier
lifestyle.
