With mental determination comes physical transformation. Zach decided to take his weight loss efforts seriously in January 2017. After months of hard work at O2 Fitness Pine Point, he is down 90 pounds and feeling healthier than ever.
I was just so tired of feeling the way I felt and I decided to do
something about it. I had high blood pressure and was borderline diabetic. Finally, I flipped that switch in January of 2017 and never looked back. Now, I'm healthy and off all medication!
I started with just diet and cardio, and then transitioned into weight training and HIIT training with Jordon Sink, general manager at O2 Pine Point.
Overall, being more confident and proving to myself that this can be done has been the biggest change, as well as being an inspiration to others. But I am never satisfied and I still work very hard.
I weight train and do cardio and in general I just stick to a healthy diet. I am more motivated now than ever.
O2 gave me the equipment and an awesome atmosphere to train in. Also, I wanted to practice what I preach. How could I inspire people to join O2 if I myself was not healthy?
I learned that anything is possible and that I can push myself to limits that I did not think I could reach. When I train, it's all mental. I won't give up. I learned that it is not hard once you train your mind to do it. I trained my mind that I was going to be healthy and that is what I did. Mind over matter.
I would show them my pictures and how far I have come, and I would tell them just how great I feel now. It's unexplainable.
