MAXINE'S STORY

Ever Since I started working out with Matt Ellgen life has not been the same, I have not and am not the same. Matt has made me curious about what I am capable of doing when it comes to working out. The things I never would have thought possible and has challenged me to be a better me; Because of that I am physically, mentally and emotionally a stronger person.

​

After suffering a massive heart attack this is where I am today. Matt Ellgen offered at no cost help with finding a gym, creating an exercise program and walking me through basic nutrition as well as finding ways to make fitness doable for myself. I am now currently in the gym four to five times a week doing 30-45 mins of cardio along with weight lifting. I have never had a gym membership and I thought I never would especially after suffering a heart attack as I did. Working out was not for me but now I consider the gym to be one of my friends. I even find myself going more than four to five times a week. I have had great results going from a size 24 to a size 18 and getting stronger every day. I recently visited with my primary care physician who said I was doing very well and keep doing what I was doing.

Matt works with me and others free of charge and has for over a year now. I workout now even when on the hardest of days and I feel better for having done so. I was a couch potato but now I visit my friend the gym and Matt on a regular basis.
