Testimonials 4
I joined The Gym in February 2002. I can’t pinpoint an exact time when I first noticed Bernie, but I came to be a great admirer of her. I was so impressed with her focus, determination, physique, personality and her beauty. It was after her competition in spring of 2004 that I happened to be in the locker room with her. Bernie was just getting some food out and being female, we started to chat. She was preparing for Nationals. It was in the fall of 2004 that we did set a meeting that would seriously change the course of my life, once again. For the past 4 years I have been making some very big changes. At first we only discussed a lean-out to help me get rid of menopausal fat. As my 12 week lean-out progressed, we then starting talking competition. So, the decision was made that I would compete on April 30, 2005 in Kelowna in the Western Canadian Tested Bodybuilding and Fitness Show. The really hard work hadn’t yet started!
All during my initial 12 week program Bernie was ever vigilant on her checking on my progress, answered all my questions with patience and knowledge, and met with me every week. This continued on for my 16 week lean out which started on January 8th. Despite the fact that Bernie has a very full life and schedule, she has always made time for “her girls”. Her advice was realistic and achievable, she gave me what for when I needed it, was kind and caring throughout. During this time Bernie has been preparing for her own competition in June. Unbelievable! She is truly inspiring. The extra time spent with me during the last couple of weeks helped me get through the toughest 2 weeks ever!
Bernie has helped me realize a 30 year old dream! I came to understand what lies deep inside me to be able to reach my goal. Bernie has been added to my list of incredible women! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
