Cancer stripped away the person I once was and sculpted me into the person I have grown to truly be. A survivor. My strength inspired me to take each new day as an opportunity to improve myself. Going back to my original weight was one of the happiest moments of my life. With so much of my normalcy taken away, fitness offers something to look forward to, replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. I am dedicated to living life to its fullest through fitness.

Sana M. | Encinitas: El Camino Real

I was in an abusive relationship for almost 5 years…I have hard days, I’m full of trauma, but in the gym I can gather enough peace to get my head on straight. My life is so different now. Of course my physical health has improved drastically but I’m in it for the mental gains!! My mindset is much stronger now! I love the feeling that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. EoS is the first gym I’ve ever signed up for. …

Serbrina K. | Hawaiian Gardens: E Carson/Norwalk Blvd

I will be 60 years old in a year. I was overweight and my health was deteriorating. I wanted/needed to make a change for myself and my family so I could be around a while. I realized I needed to exercise regularly and eat real food consistently. I set goals for myself and changed my habits. I met goals, then kept updating them. I set goals I never thought I could achieve…I never thought I could be the same weight as when I graduated high school, but I did it. I’ve lost over 100lbs. …

Mike L.  | Ladera Ranch: Antonio Pkwy/Windmill Ave

… I was the heaviest I had ever been (145) lbs. I recently lost my job, my daily movement went from a solid 10,000 steps to a low 5,000. I could not find the motivation to work out or eat healthy, I became anxious not knowing what was going to happen the next day. Finally, September came around and I told myself enough was enough…I want to encourage people to shift their mindset, everything is possible. It’s up to you and how bad you want to!

Brittany A. | Oceanside: Palm Tree Plaza

 

… I was born with multiple disabilities, one of which is Cerebral Palsy…EOS workouts bring me joy and laughter even though I work hard. I discovered I shine from the inside and outside. Being the basketball team captain in the Special Olympics Championship games in San Diego was exciting. We won the silver medal. My medal hangs on my wall. My body is becoming more balanced, just like my life…My physical challenges are one part of my authentic self. I don’t let my challenges define me.

Elana G. | Palm Desert: Country Club Dr

I was 27 years old and nearly 75 pounds overweight when I began training at EOS. At that time I was stricken with insecurity and low self worth, not only because of my body image but because I lacked supportive environments that motivated me to succeed. I began training with the fitness manager, Francisco at EOS Palm Springs to help me manage my weight and rehabilitate after a knee injury…it has made me feel important enough to believe in myself!

Raquel B. | Palm Springs: Airport Center Dr

I began this journey when I got tired of smoking a pack of cigarettes and drinking a six pack of beer or more per day. I was constantly sick and feeling horrible physically…I started Jiu Jitsu in January 2021 and being that I wanted to get stronger, I joined EOS for conditioning and strength training. I quit smoking and drinking. I changed my eating. I have lost 60 lbs in 11 months. From a size 40 men’s pants to size 28. …

Kevin C. | San Diego: Sports Arena

 

I had a major eating disorder. Eating fast food whenever I needed the comfort. My body had become excessively overweight and so I began to workout for me. I changed my eating habits and became strict and disciplined to live a healthier life style.

Cristian M. | Santa Ana: N Tustin Ave/Bentall Ctr

I am writing this on behalf of my son James age 23 who is autistic. At 19 years of age James was extremely obese weighing over 390 pounds…We knew nothing about weight training and exercise equipment. With the help of the kindly staff and input from the regulars at the gym James learned how to work out safely and effectively…Within 18 months James had lost almost 170 pounds…Fitness is now a lifestyle to James and to our family somewhat of a miracle.

James S. | Temecula Parkway

… What inspires me to workout and continue my fitness journey is the joy I am getting at knowing that I CAN DO IT. for years I have complained because I was physically unable to do certain moves for example a push up. I worked hard to build the strength in order to do a push up. Now that I am able to do several ones I stay consistent and challenge myself.

Noelia C. | Orlando: Hiawassee Rd/Clarcona Rd

… I was over 50 and every joint of my body hurt. I am a secretary for a business and even standing up and walking from a sitting position took a while and made my body ache. I truly felt like I was waiting to die, and felt like I would not be around to see grandchildren in the future. I knew that I needed to lose weight so I joined a program to teach myself about portion control and nutrition…I still have farther to go on my journey, but I am certain that I have what I need to be successful …

When I was at my heaviest I was 285lbs I was in a relationship where I thought she would be the one I would marry. She breaks up with me the last thing she told me was I would never be good enough it was that day that I got my first gym pass at eos from that day on it was a struggle some days but I pushed through day after day I had my diet on point a year comes around and I have already lost 85lbs.

Faraz N. | Tampa: Ehrlich Grove

… During my sophomore year at the age of 15, my best friend and I were hanging out and he looked me in the eye that day and told me, “Logan, I don’t want you to die”. From then on I started to many different options such as fat burners that weren’t very successful. I got to my highest weight of 445 lbs. in the fall of 2013. I have successfully gotten down to 217 lbs. but that is definitely not my finishing point.

Logan H. | Henderson: St. Rose Pkwy/Amigo St

At 5’9 I weighed 90 pounds, I was extremely underweight. People would tell me that I was so skinny, and at times call me a twig. One day I decided to take a deeper look at myself and realized that something needed to changed. I am now 155 and still working on improving my physique.

Ashley M. | Las Vegas: Blue Diamond/Decatur

After my son was born I realized I was accountable to be here for a long time, not just a good time. It was then I began to take my health and fitness seriously, took control of my diet, started training athletically and never forgot why I started in the first place. EŌS has been instrumental in that regard – any way I want to train, any time, there is an EŌS nearby. I went from 250 pounds to 187 pounds as of writing this and a size 40 waist to a 32 – and I’m not done yet!

Brian G. | Las Vegas: Eastern/Serene

My journey was one that tested my family. My father contracted sepsis and went into a medically induce coma. I was 20 lbs away from his weight and in college. I didn’t want to loose him or my family. I had to act. I’ve dropped 150lbs in the 5 years I have been active. I love my Eos Family. Rob, Nasser, George and many others have guided me in what is possible. Go team Lakemead!

Logan G. | Las Vegas: Lake Mead/Buffalo

…I thought I had tried every type of diet and workout there was until I actually found the key to success – EŌS & an amazing trainer that taught me how to properly eat and exercise to achieve real results that last.

I have never looked or felt better in my life and I can’t wait to keep going and achieve my overall goal that I am confident I will keep up with for a lifetime!

Keri C. | Las Vegas: Losee/Centennial Pkwy

…I would do any drug I got my hands on… In early 2020, I decided to quit everything cold turkey and begin training and dieting. The gym became my new true passion in life. Bodybuilding gave me direction and became my way out of depression, addiction and showed me that I could transform myself into something greater than I was. It motivated me to do things I thought I could never do. It gave me confidence I lacked for my entire life. Without bodybuilding, I would be nothing. It saved me.

Tristan W. | Las Vegas: N Durango/I-215

 

…I was clinically overweight, struggling with a recent breakup, and overall embarrassed that I let my health and mental state get to such a low point… I took control of my life and said, “I’m going to start boxing for fitness.” My coach, Chris, worked for EOS and held many of my beginner boxing sessions there. Each day I was gaining confidence and the weight began to shed off. In total, I lost over 35 lbs… Fitness is a choice and I’m so glad I chose it.

Gina C. | Las Vegas: Pecos/Russell

 

…The gym really changed my life for the good. Im the healthiest person I know, it taught me how to cook 3 meals a day, and just overall taught me how to be disciplined with diabetes. Feels nice to know that I’m really taking care of myself and feeling amazing while doing it! Anyone thats struggling with diseases that make you gain or lose weight, I promise you can over come it. A lot of time and discipline can change your life.

Perry B. | Las Vegas: S Durango/W Arby Ave

 

…I never thought I was going to be able to change my body, my toxic eating habits and be one of those “healthy people!” Everyday I remind myself that an almost 100 pound loss is a big deal, and my body is still changing as I continue to put in the work. My biggest motivation is myself! I’m doing this for me. To be a better person, a better wife, mom, daughter and friend! Anyone can do it!

Cynthia G. | Las Vegas: Sahara/Cimarron

I was in a serious motorcycle accident that left me hospitalized for 2 weeks… After recovering for almost a year I came back to EOS after having my friend passed away and never gave up on what he wanted to see me become and now I’m unstoppable. I love my self for where I am and where I came from. I appreciate all the help I received on my journey, between the adversaries I made working out, the friends I brought to share my experience, and the staff that went above and beyond. …

Shane S. | Las Vegas: Southeast/Stephanie

…I received the Vertical Sleeve Gastronomy also known as VSG surgery. By no means was it the easy way out. After my surgery I was put on a hi protein, low carb diet and needed to be committed to change… Going to the gym 5x a week twice a day followed by 2 days a week cross fit. Through this I was able to find myself and break free from all medication and broke free from the addiction of food. It was the hardest thing I had to do in my life and chose to because I chose to LIVE!

James T. | Las Vegas: Tropicana

I was discharged from military service for a back injury in 2014. Being unemployed I became very depressed concerned how I was going to provide for my family… After landing my current job as a postal employee and discovering just how physically demanding my job is I began to eat better, work my hardest when possible, and go to the gym nearly every day. I reached almost 250lbs and in the course of several months I achieved a weight of 177lbs.

Robin A. | North Las Vegas: W Craig/Camino Al Norte

I had been overweight for many years… It was up to me to make a change in my life. I buckled down and started a journey that lasted a little over a year to get me to a healthy weight and lifestyle. I cut out all of the negative things in my life, both diet and reality. I was able to get down to 196 lbs, which adds up to a total loss of 119 lbs. I’ve since put on a little extra healthy muscle weight, but I am the happiest and most successful I have ever been in my entire life!!!

Dustin C. | Bountiful: S Main Street/W 2600

…I was 430+ lbs (my scale couldn’t go higher) and it was the day I discovered I was in a full blown diabetic episode. That was the day I decided to change… Since then my weight dropped to 187lbs and I literally feel like a new man. The freedom to use and move my body to do whatever I want is so precious to me. I feel like a prisoner who has broken from prison. Every time I climb the stairs without losing breath or do a deadlift I’m reminded of how precious this freedom is and it inspires me.

Jabra G. | Kaysville: Sportsplex Dr

…I became addicted to the EoS spin classes, and in a little over a year, I went from weighing over 290 pounds, down to 205 pounds. I defined muscles that I never new existed, (particularly in my legs) and went from wearing a 42 waist, to now a 34/36… I’m 45 now, and feel like a 21 yr old. Thank you EoS for helping me get there. And thank you to the amazing Spin team in the Layton Location. I am now living an active lifestyle, coaching my kids and enjoying every second.

Pete M. | Layton: N Fort Ln

…When EŌS in Murray opened I was one of the first to join and immediately started with a trainer. The additional weight started to finally drop off and I started getting definition in my shoulders and arms. I’m currently at 175lbs and under 8% body fat. I went from the worst shape of my life just 5 years ago at 47 to the best shape in my life at 51. I continue to workout with the best trainer who pushes, motivates, and inspires me to be my best!

Jason P. | Murray: S 900 E /5600 S

 

…I weighed 302 lbs. I hated myself and the lifestyle I lived. I decided to make a change. I changed my diet and started exercising. I went through a divorce. I struggled. I cried. I endured. I pushed on. I gained a love for myself. I found that exercise made me happy. I joined EOS in October of 2021. I see my trainer, JJ, once a week. He’s helped me tone up and gain strength. He’s helped me see what I can become…I’m excited to continue on my journey. I want to continue to be a better me.

Tiffany B. | Ogden: Kiesel Ave

 

…I finally had enough. I decided, that I was worth the effort and work to become a healthy human… Fitness changed everything. Lifting weights made me realize, pound after pound, I was capable of a lot more than I thought. I was capable of showing up for myself. So here I am, starting 2022 30lbs lighter, as one of those humans who has a healthy relationship with food because of fitness. One of the humans who’s life was changed for the better because of fitness. One of the healthy, happy humans.

Krystal F. | Roy: W 5700

 

…So in an act of desperation, I drove from the specialist’s office to the Syracuse EOS gym and enrolled and hired a personal trainer…I no longer trudge. I can wash dishes, play with the kids and go up all the stairs in my three level house without huffing and puffing. At EOS, I bike 5-10 miles a day or walk at a level 3-4 on the treadmill. Becoming fit has allowed me to transform into the person I always wanted to be. And I’m not even finished yet! I’m excited to see what’s next.

Sonja D. | Syracuse: S 1000 W

 

Went to the hospital icu mid 2021 because I was having heart issues respiratory issues and all around health issues because of my weight and poor health choices the doctors gave me 6-8 months to live if I didn’t make any changes on my lifestyle and thanks to EōS and specially to Gabe my personal trainer who has been putting up with my bs since August I’ve made some great progress and I will continue to improve.

Abraham A. | Taylorsville: S Redwood Rd

On November 9, 2020 I took a progress picture that sickened me. Six years of bad diets, poor training, and never feeling comfortable in my own skin had taken its toll and a major change was drastically needed…Nearly one year from my start date, 50lbs lighter, I achieved my goal of competing in a fitness competition! In the process I learned to love myself…flaws and all. But most importantly, I learned that I am capable of incredible things, and it is MY JOB to help and encourage others in their journey.
