Congrats, Karien . . . way to go . . . we’ll be seeing more of you on the gym floor!

From Julie Nestler:

“I am starting a ’21 Day’ new ‘fit you’ challenge group starting on May 23rd.  I am looking for anyone who is interested in getting fit and healthy…you will begin seeing results in the first couple of days! 
This ’21 Day’ challenge includes working out 30 minutes a day , an easy to follow meal plan, including the ‘healthiest’ meal of the day.  You will take part in a support group where you and others will be helping one another every step of the way.  And…I will coach you daily to make CERTAIN “your goals are achieved!”  
Call or text me 843.452.7997 or email me julienestlerfitness@gmail.com  to let me know if you are interested….”
Also newsworthy from the PrimeTime staff, Shannon Cagle recently competed in the National Masters Swim meet.  Keep checking back for more on Shannon’s amazing comeback!

I worked out with Meredith for years before she (sadly) moved away. She is creative, fun, and great at correcting your form. She can adapt to injuries you might have. She will incorporate things you like (yoga) and can work with all types of exercise equipment from machines to bands to TRX to free weights to your body weight. No two workouts are the same, which means you do not get bored and you want to keep coming back!

Meredith first sought to truly understand my fitness goals and then observed my current weight-training routine.  She then helped me organize a workout plan that gave me better results, in the same amount of time.  Now I have a more balanced routine that is producing better results, in the same amount of time, with the same amount of effort. She always had my work within my comfort level and has helped me develop a more balanced program that maximizes the results.

I found my happy place at home with Meredith and Primetime Fitness.  I started virtual training with Meredith at the beginning of Covid and now virtual training is part of my weekly routine.  What a joy to get a great workout and not have to leave the house! Thanks, Meredith!

I’ve been taking Meredith’s classes for a few short months and also doing some training sessions with her, and it has already made me stronger.  I love that she offers lower-impact options (for this 58-year-old) and also motivates all of us during class!

I was recently diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.  I had worked out with Meredith once before, but at the time, I just wasn’t dedicated to a routine.  As soon as I was diagnosed, I shot her a quick email, and she immediately responded. We met and discussed diet and exercise; she was a wealth of information. I started working out with her and figuring out what routine spoke best to me. She helped me set up a Peloton bike and monitored my form. Hey, if this 65-year-old woman can get in shape, anyone can. I’m 15 pounds down and on the right track. Thanks, Meredith!
