Testimonials

At-Home workouts helped me become more flexible and tone my muscles without stiffness or injuries.

“I really enjoy the workouts, especially being able to do them at home.  As I age, I have found that I’m having trouble with my knees.  After watching your workout DVDs, I realized that I was doing lunges incorrectly, causing my knees to ache and feel seized up.  Now that I’m going them properly, my knees no longer hurt and I’m strengthening the muscles around them.  I also feel like I’m re-building my endurance, becoming more flexible and toning my muscles without stiffness, soreness or injuries.  A job well done!” Brenda from Ontario

Letting go of the “old” ways of working out helped me lose weight and build strength in much less time.

“As I had lost the vast majority of my weight through diet and walking, it was hard for me to let go of that strategy to lose the last bit of weight (because I knew what I was doing had been very effective).  But I also knew I wanted to get physically stronger and build muscle too.  So, I embraced the resistance training and the intervals in the Defy Aging System and let go of the “old” ways.  I found I could still lose the weight and build strength with much less of a time commitment (I had been walking approximate 2 hours a day for 6 days a week).  Once I saw that I was able to do this, it was easy to completely buy into the “new” system of the workout routine.”  Susan from Ontario

Lost 25 pounds, 5 inches. Never felt better.

“In November of 2006, after months of thinking about it, I decided to do something about my weight and physical condition. Grant Hernden was highly recommended and agreed to work with me. With his emphasis on correct nutrition and proper exercising, I was able to lose approximately twenty-five pounds and five inches from my waist in the first year. I have been on a maintenance program ever since. I can honestly say that I have never felt better. Recently I had the misfortune to hospitalized with a very severe respiratory disease. Fortunately I am well on the road to recovery. However, I think that it is noteworthy that several of the doctors who were treating me remarked that my physical conditioning had a significant part in me being able to overcome the disease.”  Bill from Ontario

Workouts produce maximum results in half the time.

“Mine is a simple story. I had been working out for quite awhile, but not effectively. My old work out methods were taking about 50 % longer than my current routines and producing marginal results. The combination of interval training with cardio circuit training and balanced nutrition has certainly been the answer I was looking for – Grant provides the tools for success.”  Dave from Alberta

Motivated program makes fatigue a thing of the past.

“During my last few years at university, I found that I was consistently tired and lacked motivation to do routine jobs. I had never really “worked out” before. After I began to work out and change my diet, I noticed some very positive changes. I quickly noticed that I could do routine jobs with ease. I now use stairs more instead of the elevator. I park my car further away in a parking lot and walk a bit further. Overall, I am very happy that I began working out on a regular basis and have the consistent back up from a professional such as Grant.”  Jim from Ontario

Farewell to pain, sleepless nights and surgery.

“SURGERY!! This could have been the only answer for me. I was terrified of surgery, especially on my spine. I decided to start training with Grant. I noticed a huge difference right away. The pains in my legs dissipated. I could go to bed and not fidget restlessly. Really, once I started sleeping better the world changed! Energy levels were greater and my back pain was less and less every day. I’m so thankful that I turned to a life change before I turned to the knife.”  Karey from Ontario

Variety and convenience of program makes exercise priority.

“This Fitness program has been good for our whole family. Healthy eating and exercise have become a priority for all of us! The convenience of working out at home gives us no excuse to skip our program. The variety of exercises is better than anything we could ever do on our own. Diane and Grant pass along the latest information on the most effective and beneficial ways to eat and exercise. Our goal for our kids, and us is to remain fit and live long and healthy lives!”  Connie from Ontario

Going into 70s mentally and physically stronger.

“I worked with Diane for an intensive period during July and August. I had never been to a personal trainer or done much physical exercise. Diane planned a wonderful program for me that was very easy to do but I know that I am stronger especially in my stomach muscles. I was also having problems with my back and hips and knew that I would have to do a lot of walking and standing over a five week period in September of this year. I am sure that my back has been better because my stomach muscles are stronger. I have found that I sleep better when I have been exercising for a period of time. I hope that if I can keep this up I will go into my 70s in a stronger mental and physical frame of mind.”  Susan from Ontario

Increase in energy, physique and mood.

“When I started seeing Diane I was really struggling with mood problems and body image. Since meeting with Diane and doing my custom designed workouts I have been much happier, much more optimistic and more realistic about the way I look. I have more energy and get satisfaction from seeing the physical results of my dedication to my program.”  Lisa from Ontario
