Our story begins with a young woman named Tammy Kappes, who join our gym to get herself healthier.  Her journey starts:
 
         Tammy Before                                                                  Tammy After
It all started 2 years ago I had started with heart palpitations, dizziness and jelly like feeling in my legs.  I was told by the doctors that I had vertigo, then MS, then anxiety, then they thought that I was leaking spinal fluid.  After numerous blood tests, 2 MRI's, 2 Cat Scans, 1 Ultra Sound to the heart, 1 Stress Test and a sleep study, I was sent to a inner ear doctor, a vertigo specialist, neurologist, cardiologist, etc.... To only find out that they didn't know why this was happening to me. 
 
After being on numerous medications that they thought would help some of my condition, only to find out it didn't do anything for me.  I was at a dead end and even thought I was going crazy!!!!  My last resort was visiting my gynecologist only to find out it was all hormonal from after having children or maybe even peri medipause.  I asked my doctor what she thought about if I joined a gym and she suggested it would benefit me.
 
On March 1, 2010, I made a decision to join a gym. I had read the autobiography of Jillian Michael's and it inspired me to do this. Never looking at any other gym, I walked into Total Fitness Connection and felt right at home.  I joined that very same day.    I wanted something long term so I joined up as an EFT member to make sure that I committed myself to going to the gym. 
The very next day I started my journey, 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.  I spent a month in the cardio room when I realized the classes seemed fun. I first tried out Bell's & Ball's with Kettlebells, I loved it!!!!
 
  Then I added Zumba.  In June I added Kickboxing and Step.  I had lost 30 lbs in 3 months.  I then added SPINNING that is the one that became my best class so far. I have now been a member for 9 months and I went from 225 lbs to 150 lbs.  That makes a total of 75 lbs in 9 months.  I was a size 18 and I am in a size 8 now!!!!!  
 
TFC saved my life.  The instructors have been an inspiration and so helpful in my journey.  I love it here.  Pam (owner) thank you!!!!!   I felt guilty putting my kids in the daycare,but then realized how good it for all of us.  My daughter Hailey talks about Pam & Doug like they are part of the family.  I knew then this is where I belonged.  Thank You!!!!   I hope to eventually get a certification for SPINNING or run a marathon. 
 
Sincerely,
Tammy Kappes
