I came to N/E knowing my potential for fitness and athleticism. However, I really came to N/E because I was at the point I needed outside help to get me where I knew I could be. For a long time, I had either been injured or seen exercise as a chore that should get done, but could also frequently be brushed aside. The group setting kept me accountable to the other Warriors, so if I didn't work hard I wasn't just cheating myself but those around me. Learning to closely monitor and evaluate my nutrition did wonders for my health, and this played an integral role in achieving my weight-loss goals. Over all, what I am most grateful to the staff and the program for is the opportunity to learn how to be truly healthy again. N/E will instill an attitude that dismisses unhealthy choices, and values exercise and nutrition as key to a life well-lived. I recommend the program very highly.

Fellow Warriors -

Over the past 12 weeks I have worked hard, pushed my self, conquered my temptations and truly gained more than I ever imagine. This has truly been a life changing experience for me which I plan to continue to follow into the future.

12 weeks ago: I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to keep up, would burn out on getting up so early every day and would need to push myself to do the sixth day workout.

Today: Surprisingly I wake up most days before my alarm goes off, I can do more than I every dreamed possible and I look forward to my sixth day run.

What the future holds: I have a plan for my post program workout and am contemplating the 1/2 marathon run in Huntington Beach in February as my next workout goal.

Tomorrow: This warrior has her gear ready to rock and roll. All we need is great tunes, so who's bringing the music? :-)
