Neal Rose was almost 73 years old when he first contacted Justin and Stephanie Check to help him lose weight and get into better physical condition. “I knew I was overweight, had low energy level and was pretty unhappy with the way I looked in family photos. I met with Stephanie to discuss an exercise program designed to let me gradually improve my flexibility, balance and strength. At first we met for just two half hour sessions per week, which we increased to hour long sessions as time went on and my endurance improved. Call it “baby steps”, but it was a level of exercise that my body could handle without feeling worn out. I credit Stephanie for her patience and support as I came to enjoy the workouts and saw significant improvement in my ability to handle them. I also began a regular program of walking roughly 5 days per week, covering 3-4 miles daily and gradually increasing to 6-8 miles per day.

With my exercise program underway, the next step was to work on nutrition with Justin. Justin is very methodical in his approach to good nutrition. He analyzed my eating habits and current physical condition, and then we discussed what my goals were. Justin prepared a nutritional plan that I felt I could comply with, that did not leave me in a constant state of hunger or deprivation. I adapted to having 4 smaller meals each day with a reasonable caloric limit rather than 3 larger meals, and I just became more mindful of what I was ingesting.
I started losing 2-3 pounds per week and within 5 months I had lost 40 pounds! I went from 213 pounds down to 171. I lost 10 inches on my waist size, from 44” down to 34”. This has been life changing for me! Now one of my biggest challenges is finding pants that will stay up. My energy level has vastly improved and I wake up earlier after better sleep. Based upon my personal experience, I highly recommend both Justin and Stephanie for training and nutrition guidance.”
This is Jane Herron, she is strong mentally and physically. Beating breast cancer twice in her life there is no challenge she is not capable of conquering.

Stephanie and Justin, with their wealth of knowledge and unending encouragement, were my ace in the hole!”

Mike Bettiga gave us 6 weeks of dedication and hard work. He lost 24 pounds, 6% body fat, 3 inches from his chest, 5 inches from his waist and 2 inches from his hips while his arms and legs maintained their size. The perfect scenario for his goals and strength training program design. Way to go Mike! “Stephanie and Justin have been amazing to work with. I have struggled for years in keeping my weight in check even when following a regular fitness schedule. Through their help and support, I have now learned a totally new and disciplined food and meal plan that coupled with strength and cardio training, has allowed me to attain a goal that I never thought I could possibly achieve. This is a lifestyle change that I can comfortably use both now and in the future and it would not have been possible without their guidance, encouragement and support!”

Say hello to Toby Sansom who lost that LAST 8 pounds to feel and look her very best. Those last 5-10 pounds don’t have to stick around. They can be shed and we know how to do it! “I wanted to thank you for the past 8 weeks. You are a true motivator. One of my goals was to get back on track with my physical activity and my food intake. I feel I have been quite successful in these areas. This wasn’t about a diet – but about a lifestyle change! For this I can’t thank you enough. My other goal was to wear my jeans with a belt and my shirt tucked in, and feel good about that. Sitting at the airport with my jeans and belt on and my shirt tucked in. Loving it!”

“Meet James Sharpe, a long distance meal plan client who has absolutely crushed his goals and transformed his body, WOWSER!!. Here is an excerpt from his testimonial: “I had been struggling with my weight for many years. I got myself into the constant cycle of fad diets. All I did was fluctuate up and down and every time my weight would go back up, it would even increase beyond where I was before I had tried the fad diet. 2 years ago I started working out 6 times a week but knew I needed to support my exercise regime with a structured meal plan. I started talking to Justin Check about what I should be eating and making it achievable within my stressful working week. He developed a meal plan that was easy to understand and achievable with my busy work and social life. It has been 2 years I have lost over 30 pounds and have improved my body composition month by month!”

Say hello to Chelsey Scheiner, a FIT pregnant woman! “I started looking online for prenatal/maternity workout classes around town, but really couldn’t find anything! Then luckily I stumbled across Stephanie’s own pregnancy blog on her website, which is how I came to find out about Check Total Health. Our first personal training session was when I was 17 weeks pregnant, and I was hooked. Stephanie has been amazing to work with. First of all, the mobile personal training they offer is an incredible opportunity. It makes working out so convenient, there really isn’t an excuse to not do it. She was able to work around my sometimes crazy work schedule and we fit in about 2 sessions per week. Also, I had so much faith in her to train me during my pregnancy because she had just gone through the same thing about 5 months earlier. I trusted her to design the workouts to fit my ever-changing pregnancy body and energy level. Plus it was really fun to be able to share my first-time-mom-to-be journey with her, every week was a new and exciting milestone! She seemed as excited about my pregnancy week by week as I was! The workouts were tough but great. I could feel myself getting stronger every week. I am very proud of myself for committing to this workout routine during my pregnancy. At a time when I could have easily let myself go, I feel like I did the opposite and I have had a fantastic pregnancy because of it. I have gained 30 pounds and I am really happy with that. I am so happy that I found her!

CTH encouraged all of us through the 8 week program and as a result, I’ve lost over 15 pounds and my blood sugars are back in the normal range. I want to thank CTH for the coaching they provided me as well as the other attendees. I’m sticking with their program as I feel great and want to lose more weight. Thanks CTH!”

While it’s true that Stephanie Check is a Personal Trainer in Southwest Florida and has been working out for many years, she still has to put in the effort to overcome weight gain such as when she gave birth to our daughter, Liv. The first picture is Steph just one week after giving birth and the second picture is Steph 8 weeks later (9 weeks after giving birth). Steph followed a Check Total Health meal plan and worked out 5-6 days a week once given the OK from the doctor. In the 8 week period she lost 5 pounds, 8% body fat and shifted her composition back to pre-pregnancy days!
