My family and I met Monte Sanders 1 year ago after an eye opening visit to our son Tyler’s pediatrician. At the age of 8 our son was overweight. Through the help of a joint effort between Fox 45 and Monte Sanders, our son has been successful at losing weight and learning how to lead a healthier way of life. Our son inspired both my husband and I to also want to live a healthier life. We knew if we did not commit as a family long term success would be questionable. After 1 year the results have been amazing. My husband has lost over 40 pounds, my son is no longer considered overweight and I myself have lost several inches from all parts of my body. We get stronger, faster and more physically fit with each class. We all seem to have much more energy and enjoy working out together as a family, even when we can’t work out with Monte. We have found the classes to be fun and challenging and have enjoyed the group support. I don’t know of any other place where we could go and work out together with our 9 year old son. I have never met a trainer who is so passionate about what he does and I am inspired by his dedication in tackling childhood obesity. He is energetic, motivating, and has pushed us to do things that we never thought we could. One year ago, not one of us could make it around a track one time, now we're running a mile for a warm up several times a week. Last year my son would not take his shirt off at the pool and this year he can’t wait to get there! Thanks to Monte’s classes and all of his health and nutrition tips we now know how to be healthy and stay fit.

This is how Monte Sanders changed my life. He is a great trainer. It is fun. Monte cares about kids being healthy. He made me stronger and more flexible. I am much much much more active now! I think that Monte Sanders made our family 100 billion times healthier! I started overweight and now I’m not. He made me have less fat and more muscle! He helps me think better too. You will meet a lot of new friends at Sanders Optimum Fitness. On my first mile run I got 10:38. On my second I got 12:00. Then on my third I got 10:10! It was AMAZING! I am doing better in school too. Monte, you changed my life.

Your  Friend,

Tyler age 9

YOU ROCK MONTE!!
