I LOVE seeing before and after transformation pictures and am so grateful for those who are kind enough to let us share their progress and encourage others. It’s intimidating to put yourself out there like that! Often when people know you exercise regularly, they appreciate it, even may express a desire to do it themselves, but feel they are too (something) or not enough (something else) to follow that path. These stories show that the person standing before you has BEEN there, walked (or high-kneed) the walk, and didn’t necessarily burpee out of the womb a model of infant fitness.
Good health is for EVERYONE, and that is our mission at NGPT. There is no age limit, or weight limit; you can be an 80 year old woman or a 16 year old teenage boy. You can have 180 pounds to lose or need to GAIN weight. You can find us on the internet and not know a soul, or may come in with your spouse, sister, child, or whole extended family. You are all welcome and you will get results.
You don’t even have to like it! You just have to have the right motivation to do the work. Witness what Lucy Lawless said about her role on Xena, Warrior Princess:
I do believe there IS a class for even the most ardent despiser of sweat. It may be the instructor, or the music, or the type of exercises, but your niche exists - the Friday night specials are an outstanding way to dabble in classes that aren’t in your regular travels, and you may find a new love (Fighting Shape was a BLAST last week!)
I know I’m really too lazy to want to work out most of the time, but getting it done first thing in the morning before the body even realizes it’s awake is a fine coping strategy. My motivations center around “too” and “not enough” - too cheap to want to spend money on health care for chronic illnesses, and not enough interested in hanging out in doctors’ offices to let myself lose the ground gained over the last few years. I don’t enjoy competition. I DO like beating my own personal records. Find your tribe with similar motivation to yours!
We believe in the power of EVERYONE to change their lives and their bodies. You DON’T have to be Xena or Superman. You just have to walk in the door. 
All the best,
Marcey
