I have never made a better decision than going to EIF. After working with Joe for just five months, I have lost 7 1/2 lbs. of fat and gained 15 1/2 pounds of muscle. My body fat is down 5 percent, and my cholesterol and blood pressure are back down to healthy levels. I've added over an inch to my biceps and several inches on the thighs. I can already see and feel a huge difference in my shoulders, abs, back, and legs. It's thrilling to be seeing these muscles for the first time in my life! I still have a way to go to reach my goals, but I just know it's only a matter of time. Joe and his staff teach me something new every time and keep me looking forward to every workout. I used to dread working out, but with EIF I love it and thus I keep at it. It's interesting how everything else in life seems to fall into place when fitness is improved. I no longer just want to 'veg' in front of the TV after coming home from work. I actually have energy to do all those little things that I was always putting off. I have no more cravings for pizza and other unhealthy foods. And perhaps most importantly, my self-confidence has skyrocketed.
