Client of the MonthStephanie Woltemath

I'm a very lucky gal for so many reasons. One big reason is my sister, ShelleyWhipps ­­ she has worked out at His &Her Fitness for more than three years,introduced me to Christina, and nominated me for the "8 Weeks to Greatness"program in September 2014. What an amazing experience that was! Thatprogram taught me how to incorporate fitness and nutrition into my life with greatsuccess. I had tried other diets and programs, but without the combined fitnessand nutrition approach ­­ so I had no long term success. Christina and Merritare such great trainers and they taught me how to live a much healthierlifestyle. My doctor is thrilled with my medical lab results and I have been ableto eliminate four prescriptions over the last year!

My husband of twenty­four years passed away inDecember 2013 and he would be so proud of me. My children, along with otherfamily and friends, always tell me how proud they are of me. And now mychildren follow my nutrition and fitness plan (mostly) and they love it. My latehusband always said he was the luckiest person in the world because he hadthe best family and friends. I know I'm the luckiest gal for the same reason. Myfamily and friends, including Christina and Merrit, are the best support systemfor me through this journey. Learning the combination of strength training,cardio, and proper nutrition has been incredibly successful for me. Myconfidence and self­esteem have increased significantly ­­ and that has helpedme tremendously as I continue to move forward in this new chapter of my life.

Christina, Merrit, and staff make it easy and they are so motivating! I REALLYappreciate them! They truly care and I feel great!

efforts at the photo shoot this last month and everyone lookedincredible! It is amazing to watch clients succeed and meet theirgoals ­­ and I feel lucky and thankful to be a part of that process.Right now there is nowhere else I would rather be.

Another huge way H&H impacts the community is through charityevents. It is a true honor to be a trainer here and be able to raisemoney and awareness for causes that are important to the H&Hteam. At the holiday party this November we'll be raising moneyfor the NFL Alumni non­profit "Caring for Kids." I've enjoyed talkingto businesses, spreading the word about H&H, and gettingcontributions for both the holiday party and "8 Weeks toGreatness." It is exciting to be here and work behind the scenes topromote H&H and help change lives one person at a time!

Fitness is a passion I am excited to share with others ­­ and Iknow H&H is a great place to do just that.
