When I started training with Tony Nguyen 6 years ago, my goal was weight loss focused. However, my goals have changed from weight loss to improving my overall athleticism and long-distance running.

I remember feeling so uncomfortable walking into the gym. I was so uncomfortable in my own skin because of the unhealthy weight I had gained. I needed help to keep myself accountable and I knew that I needed to learn how to navigate through the gym on my own.

In 6 years, not only have I lost close to 70 lbs, it’s opened the doors for me to have new fitness goals such as completing my first marathon (42.2km) and now training for a 50 Km race in September 2023.

Working with Tony has been amazing. I can reach out and say, “Hey, I have this goal in mind, can you help me?” Tony has created a safe environment that I am able to be vulnerable and has helped empower me to become a better version of myself. When we talk about where I started 6 years ago, it is such a vast difference. He has shown me that surrounding yourself with like minded people makes such a positive difference in who you are as an individual. Additionally, his hard work and mentality has shown me that the possibilities are endless.

I have learnt that prioritizing my health has created a ripple effect in other areas of my life. It has helped me make changes in my social life and has improved my emotional well being. I can show my kids that I am a strong mom and woman. My kids call me “she-hulk”. I have the confidence within myself to achieve personal goals outside of fitness because of the experience I’ve had working with Tony.

Thank you, Tony!
