  I am at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro - it was not easy, but I did it! At 19,341 feet Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's highest freestanding mountain - the roof of Africa.

  I was a little anxious at the outset. So many stories of altitude sickness - something I was not keen to experience first hand, but was told that there would be affects with the ascent as the body struggles to function with less oxygen.

  The company I was with had a comprehensive handbook containing great information on how to prepare physically and mentally for the challenge. Unfortunately the decision to make this trip was rather spontaneous so I didn't have any time to follow their guidelines.

  Thankfully I have been a regular Total Results client for over a decade. Over the course of this adventure, I considered how my regular workouts had been my preparation all along.

  To summit I would need to have stamina, strong muscles, and increased lung capacity to be able to cope with the demands of the hike when there is less oxygen in the air (I didn't use Diamox - typically taken to help). These are all aspects of my training at Total Results: controlled breathing (check), strong core (check), endurance (check). The breathing techniques I have been trained in prepared me perfectly for the climb into thin air (I suffered no ill effects from the altitude). The ascent was tough, but my stamina and strength enabled me to power through. The descent was difficult on knee joints, but again, I credit my regular workouts with enabling me to descend with little trouble whilst many of my group suffered from knee issues. Recovery was fast.

  As a 55 year old woman, I am capable of enjoying life to the full - thank you Total Results!

  Total Results Works for Me!
  
  I am a 56-year-old woman, and a breast cancer survivor. I am not super athletic. My motivation is to improve and maintain my fitness level now so I can enjoy a long, healthy, active retirement. I have been a client of Total Results for about two years. I attend my Total Results training sessions consistently two times per week, and I am also pretty good about sticking to my low carb, low sugar diet.
  
  Total Results is a unique fitness experience. I need the accountability of a paid, appointment based program and someone to push me to drive past my initial point of fatigue. I have tried several other programs and while I got results, I found them hard to fit into my busy schedule and I also found that as I progressed, I got injured and then had setbacks.
  
  The reasons I recommend the Total Results program include:
  
  1. It is safe and effective - I am getting the results that I desire without injury. I look and feel fit. I can lift 40-pound grandkids and hold my own carrying heavy coolers. My husband says I look like a teenager from the back (I think that's a compliment!?)
  
  2. It is easy to work the two 30-minute appointments into my limited time. They keep you cool with fans. I like that I don't need to shower and do the hair and makeup thing afterward, so I can go right back to work (They do have showers and free towel service.)
  
  3. It fits my budget; this program is more affordable than an equivalent trainer in a gym that often has you waiting around for your turn on equipment.
  
  4. It's private - I don't like people looking at me and I don't really want to look at other people working out.
  
  5. The staff is well educated, consistent and friendly. There is no turnover of trainers. Tim and Matt are both excellent to work with. They are not intimidating. They tailor my sessions to fit my physical constraints and abilities. I take advantage of their monthly blogs, which have the most current information on exercise and food science.
  
  6. The facility is clean and well air conditioned. It is convenient to get to. Parking is no problem.
  
  There is no excuse not to do this!
  
  If you are not doing anything for yourself, or if what you are doing is causing injury or seems ineffective, I recommend you try Total Results. Don't wait until you have a wakeup call. Start now!

• I'm a 46 year old woman. I started training with Tim and Matt after my second child when I felt exhausted just going up a flight of stairs. I was able to train throughout my next 2 pregnancies. I have stayed with Total Results and find that I am stronger and able to maintain my fast-paced family and business life. I am able to jump in the pool and swim with my college-age daughter - not as fast as her of course, but without pain and feeling good the next day! This past month my family travelled to Big Sky Mt. I hadn't been on skis for 2 years. I was able to ski without pain or soreness the next day. I never was out of breath or in need of a break. During our morning walks, I found my friends needing to stop to take a breather. That's really when I realized how great I felt. I know it's because of my weekly workouts. If you aren't doing this kind of a workout - call now and start. It'll change how you feel and how you look!

  I am 68 and have been with Total Results for 11 years. When I started I had elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose numbers, and family history to worry about. Today my blood results and weight are the best in over 20 years! I have been able to cut my prescription drugs almost in half. Total Results is a huge reason for my improved health. The workout has kept my bones and core strong, while having an incredible positive impact on my blood results.
  
  I am retired and enjoy competing in sports, traveling and playing with my grandchildren. Total Results has been a great investment to insure I can enjoy this chapter of my life.
  
  Tim Rankin and Matt Romans are great instructors and always put their clients and their client's health first!

  I've been a member of Total Results since September, 2018. I had not physically exercised in years and was looking for a program that was the right fit for me. Total Results has certainly lived up to all my expectations for an effective exercise program. For me, I needed discipline, motivation, and one on one guidance from an experienced personal trainer, all of this in just two twenty minute sessions per week. There are no distractions, no music, no TV's. In each session, Tim Rankin keeps you motivated and provides direction and feedback on my performance. My strength and muscle tone have significantly increased and my overall health has greatly improved as well. Needless to say, I am a lifelong Total Results enthusiast!!

  It's hard to put into words just how extraordinary this weight training method is, especially as applied by Matt Romans. I've always been an athlete and have been working out six hours a week for years, with pretty good results. When I switched to 20 minutes, twice a week at Total Results, I had read up on the science of it so I was hopeful, but still quite skeptical that it could compete with the various weight lifting and "cardio" routines I had done in the past. The program at Total Results didn't just save me more than five hours per week. I was stunned to discover that it gave me greater muscle gains, trimmed my waistline a few inches, decreased my body fat from 16.5% to 10.5%, and took my resting heart rate from 63bpm to 56 bpm! Also, since I have Fibromyalgia, I don't need to ever worry that I'm going to injure myself working out, because it is the safest method I have ever used. It is blowing my mind! Plus, when I said I wanted to do more workouts each week, which would have meant more money for Matt, he turned down the opportunity, because he said I will make better progress at my present frequency. He clearly cares way more about his client's wellbeing than he does about making a profit. I urge anyone who cares about their health to go to Total Results!

  This form of physical activity has given me a strength and peace of mind that I wasn't sure was possible. The privacy of each session allows you to receive direct personal attention that will help you navigate in an appropriate and efficient way to not compromise yourself and yet gain maximum potential. I started this process to become a healthier person. This is an investment in myself that has given me a fullfilling sense of ongoing acheivement. Thanks for your help.

• I am a 52 year old self-employed artisan, who has a job that is a daily physical challenge. My projects range from decorative ceiling murals and designs, plaster repairs on celings and walls, to beautifully faux-painted trim, walls, and floors. I have rehabbed through three knee surgeries, a torn and separated bicep, and a double hernia. How? It's very simple: I have used high intensity weight training for the past 9 years to stay in incredibly strong condition. This exercise protocol has helped me to rehab faster after injuries, which allowed me to return to work faster than the normal time frame.

  This is by far the most productive and efficient way to stay fit. You have an appointment with an instructor, either weekly or bi-weekly. I work out once a week for 20 minutes, and am in the strongest shape of my life. When you combine this exercise protocol with a healthy diet and proper rest, you will find yourself in a physical state that is far superior to your age group. This is not a trendy fad workout; it is an intense 20 minute challenge. With the proper coaching of your instructor, you will stimulate results that no other workout can provide. Period!

  I was introduced to Total Results by my mom, who had at that time been working out with Tim and Matt for a year. She had incredible results! Although I had been exercising and watching my diet carefully, I did not have the muscle tone I wanted, especially with a wedding three months away. I had planned to work out at TR until my wedding and then go back to my regular gym routine. I was amazed by the muscle tone and strength I gained in just three months. I was so impressed with the results, I continued with Total Results after my wedding, through two pregnancies, and am still fully committed six years later! Tim and Matt are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional, and I look forward to my weekly workouts. I would recommended Total Results to anyone interested in staying healthy and fit.

  I have been working out in this strength training protocol for more than 10 years. Being a fit senior has helped me continue a full and active life even after a knee replacement and back surgery. I credit my quick recoveries to strong muscles and a positive attitude. I am living proof you can't beat a weekly 20 minute strength program to keep a body fit!

  I was introduced to the Total Results philosophy by a fellow health professional, who has been a client of Tim Rankin's for more than ten years. As I was interested in the science as to how this system worked, I read Body by Science by Doug McGuff and John Little, which explains how and why you can get dramatic results in strength and muscle tone from one to two 20 minute workoouts a week with a perosnal trainer certified in the Total Results protocol. I began working out at Total Results in Sterling in 2009 and have continued based on excellent results.

  Tim Rankin and Matthew Romans are consummate professionals and dedicated instructors who are always focused on providing an intense, effective and safe workout. I am in my 60's and have more stamina, strength, and muscle tone than I had in my 20's. Equally important, I know that I am reducing my risk of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and many other "age-related" maladies. If you do your part, and let Tim and Matt do theirs, you will change your body and change your life!

• My wife Pam and I started working out again with Matt Romans of Total Results as soon as Covid-19 rules allowed it. With the stress of our jobs, and life in general, the workouts are an important part of keeping our sanity. Being able to do a full workout in 20-25 minutes a week is very convenient and very satisfying. Matt is patient, but keeps us on track and using the correct form to maximize the effort. We have both progressed and feel much healthier. In fact, my wife credits Matt with making her recovery from shoulder replacement surgery a success. She now hits the golf ball longer and straighter. For someone with a busy lifestyle, but still wants a thorough workout, I highly recommend Matt Romans and Total Results.
