Testimonials

During the summer of 2006 I was 330 pounds, drinking, smoking, and
doing absolutely nothing in form of exercise. It was a combination of low self image and the actual images below that helped motivate myself to get with Richard Herrin.

(On the boat I was consuming a giant mug of Wild Turkey and Coke. In the second
picture I followed up the high ten with a few more beers.)

On August 23, 2006 I had my first workout with Richard. I thought I was going to die, and looking back on that workout I know that it was really easy. I told Richard I wanted to be a model client. This is something I am sure he had heard many times before in some form or another only to have the people making the statement not follow up on the pledge. After all, people don’t get fat by being committed to anything other than laziness and gluttony. Breaking that lifestyle is not easy.

Richard is very knowledgeable of nutrition. He worked up menus, caloric intake guidelines, was very repetitious on the importance of fueling the body correctly and adequately. Starvation diets are not methods subscribed to by Richard.

With Richard’s guidance, push, enthusiasm, support, and active investment I have made significant changes in my lifestyle and fitness. Richard brings the knowledge, excitement, and tools necessary to make each session an exciting step towards my goals. I mentioned "active enthusiasm." Richard offered me more than just an appointment time in schedule book. Richard took his own time to help build my excitement in the workout.

I have reduced my body weight by 28%, and increased my overall strength. I have taken over 40 inches off my body. Below are some graphs depicting the successes we shared. 

This graph shows my starting point of 9/11/2006 as zero and delta’s from there on each subsequent measurement.

Here is the raw data used to create the graph.
