Client of the Year Candidate Has to Say
2ndQtr 2008 Client of the Year Candidate Has to Say
In January of 2004, I found
out that I had a few problems with my heart. Mostly, I
had tachycardia and sinus tachycardia. What that means
is that my heart rate beats too fast. I was put on beta
blockers and that was difficult. I had numerous side
effects from them, but mostly my energy level decreased
substantially. Knowing that athletes have low resting
heart rates, I decided that if I could get into better
shape, my heart rate would be lower due to that, and
then possibly I could decrease or come off of the beta
blockers. My doctor was supportive, but didn’t think
this had much chance of working.
I decided that I needed a trainer to get me into the
best shape, while not exceeding the limits of my heart
rate. Part of my problem was that my heart rate would
rapidly go up and then had difficulty coming back down.
If I wasn’t careful, I would have a heart attack. Troy
Anderson was recommended to me by a friend who had been
using him for awhile. I called him, explained the
situation and soon after we met. Troy designed a plan
based on my limitations and my goals. I wear a heart
monitor while exercising and we used that to monitor.
For the first time, I felt like I was taking back some
control over my body.
I ended up having minor surgery in November 2004 to
correct the tachycardia issue, and went off of beta
blockers in January 2005. I still have sinus tachycardia
and my heart rate is still faster than normal, but by
exercising and strengthening my body I have been able to
stay off of beta blockers. I can’t describe how
wonderful that feels.
I would never have accomplished this goal without Troy.
He watches my heart carefully without making a big deal
out of it or embarrassing me. He pushes me just the
right amount and always trusts my own judgments about
how I monitor it. Trust is big issue and I trust him
explicitly. I know that he will push me to do more while
making sure that I am always safe.
I believe in hiring someone to help you meet your goals,
if that’s what you need and I did. Workout goals are
different for each person, and Troy doesn’t give you a
set workout. He designs it personally for what you are
trying to accomplish. I needed someone who would take my
limits and goals seriously and he has always done that.
This is the best thing that I do for myself.

ago I was ‘chained’ to my desk, over-weight, and
over-stressed; I was fed-up and I had to take action;
which led me to the door steps of Anderson Training
Systems, where they showed me how to REALLY exercise not
the BS you see on infomercials or at the gym. 2 years
later I am happier, less stressed, and 40lbs LIGHTER. I
have to thank Anderson Training Systems for showing me
the way.

To whom it may concern,
Have you ever sat a home and watched Dr. Phil, Oprah, or
other programs that have featured physically fit people
that were somehow miraculously transformed after years
of being out of shape or overweight? Did you ever think,
wow, I wish I could do that! Well you can! In the past
year that I have been working out with Troy, at his boot
camp, I have lost 15 pounds (I started at 157 and am
5'4"). I feel better than I have in years! It is well
worth the time and effort. I met new friends who are
also working out to keep fit. It is a workout, but I am
so glad I took the time to take that first step to get
in shape.
Sincerely, J Carol Davenport

What can I
say about Troy’s Anderson Training Systems Fitness
camp….What’s best about this camp is it’s not like going
to a gym. It is everyday an average Joe workout. Every
time I go it’s different and always exciting! I first
learned about this camp and met Troy through my mom who
started attending camp because she has a heart
condition. My mother can only do so much until her heart
rate raise’s to a dangerous level. I am a 25 year old
male who is in decent shape. My roommate is 24 and he is
in great shape! Troy was able to physically test and
work my roommate and me into complete exhaustion while
also catering to my mom’s condition. This camp is both
exciting and fun as it is one of the best workouts
anyone can get!!

This is for all you moms
out there that would like to be in better shape not only
for yourself but for your kids too. I'll try to keep
this short and to the point. During my pregnancy with
my son I only gained 30lbs which I was pretty darn proud
of. Only one problem, I was already 60lbs overweight
prior to getting pregnant. That's okay I thought. I had
planned on taking my new baby on walks everyday since I
was no longer working outside of the house I could plan
nutritious meals. Before, I knew it my son was turning
2 and my waist was growing just like him. So, I talked
my husband into getting us a membership to the Phoenix
Zoo. I knew this would be so much fun for my son and
just think of the exercise I would get walking and
chasing him around the park! Okay, well we went a FEW
times throughout the year and yes we did have a blast,
but a few times just was not enough. My weight by now
has skyrocketed to 290lbs YIKES!! My son was nearly 3
and he has only known me as FAT. Is this really how I
wanted him to remember his childhood? A mom with NO
energy, a mom that couldn't even drag herself off the
couch to go throw a ball in the back yard, a mom that
couldn't go for a bike ride around the block, a mom that
he may be embarrassed of when he starts school. It was
time for a CHANGE! One week prior to his 3rd birthday I
made a decision that it was time to be healthier. I
started to watch what I ate a little more closely, and I
began working out with Troy. The first week or two,
I'll admit I wasn't so sure I could keep it up. But
Troy was very patient and made me feel comfortable even
though I knew how awkward I was. Before long even I was
impressed with some of the things I was doing. I never
thought MY body could do that! Troy has also given me
many pointers with my diet, not drastic changes that are
difficult to stick with but gradual baby steps changes.
I look forward to my workouts and I am able to do them
on my lunch hour from work. My son is almost 4 and I've
been working out nearly a year. I have lost 55lbs and
I'm feeling great. I still have a ways to go but I now
look forward to waking up in the morning to see what
kind of activity my son wants to do that day, AND I love
to flex my muscles for my husband too. Hey, guys
wouldn't you be proud of your wife? I know my husband
is.
I have never been the
athletic type, so if I can do this, I know you can too.
Troy, Thank You!
I am looking forward to may
more workouts and I am definitely looking forward to a
healthier LIFE with my family.

Being able
to fit in smaller jeans is nice, but it’s only a
fraction of why
I work out! Troy as a person has influenced my life and
habits. His
understanding of fitness has proved to be outstanding
and has been very
motivational. I love working out with troy! It beats
going to the gym and
doing 8 reps of some exercise I made up, that doesn’t
work out anything but
my mouth! Being able to feel confident in my body and
feel healthy is what
it is about. I have been working out for five months and
my view on fitness
has done an entire turnaround. Troy knows exactly what
he is doing and knows
how to do it effectively and SAFE! Training is a
positive and healthy
activity and I love it!
I had no idea I could accomplish so much in one hour!

Troy developed a program
that was very specific to me and my sport. He took the
time to understand my fitness goals and gave me the
knowledge and tools to achieve those goals. Troy treats
all of his clients as individuals and tailors his
training sessions to each person's specific needs. Troy
is flexible with scheduling and easy to work with. I
would absolutely recommend Troy as a personal trainer
for people of all levels of fitness.

I can only
imagine that I would feel even more tired and sluggish
than before and probably weigh a bit more, too. I would
not have become more nutrition conscious, which would
have exacerbated my pre-program condition. This would
have resulted in even more discomfort with my quality of
life. My most favorite [part of my health building
program] would be that my accomplishments have exceeded
my expectations.

Troy does a great job of
varying the exercises and keeping the work outs fresh,
interesting, and unique. Under Troy's direction, I'm never
worried that my fitness routine is going to get stuck in a
rut!

The first morning I
showed up for boot camp I kept saying to myself “There is no
way in hell I can do this!” I huffed and puffed through the
whole hour and had aches and pains for days. But,
surprisingly, I returned. And, week after week, my
confidence grew as I got stronger and stronger. Then
somewhere-in-there a mind and body shift occurred. At Troy’s
prompting, I began to question why I say the words “I can’t”
so often. “Am I really physically unable to complete a task
or do I just want to be coddled?” Good question. Yet,
despite my continued “I can’t” protests, Troy kept pushing
me onward and I kept building strength and muscle one day at
a time and I started to actually feel better—better than I
had felt in years. As unconventional as it is, the challenge
of pulling weighed down sleds across a field suddenly became
something I eagerly wanted to do at 6 o’clock in the morning
during monsoon season. I credit Troy with being able to take
me from saying: “I can’t do it” to “I can.” Troy Rocks! So
far I’ve lost 18 pounds and 8% body fat. I am so grateful
that he was able to not only take a sincere interest in my
fitness goals but help me break down the mental barriers
that were keeping me from taking a sincere interest in
myself and my overall health.

"Troy I want to thank you
again for getting me a plan going, I did it and really
enjoyed the flexibility program.I've added onto the workout
incorporating more muscles I still just work out 3 days a
week but do cardio and stretch all week and play something
on sat take Sunday off. I feel awesome I attended a yoga
class on Wednesday that was great. I've never felt so good.
I've changed my diet and I really feel good. just wanted to
thank you again."

"Troy's workouts are exactly what I am
looking for. He works really hard to make sure that the
workouts are exactly what I need for my body! His efforts
and knowledge are exactly what someone looking for the real
path to health and fitness need!"
James Enyard |
When I first started
working out with Troy, I was flabby and insecure about my
body, not to mention that I didn't know my way around the
weights at the gym. I had no problem with cardio, but
strength training was out of the question. Now, I feel
stronger and healthier, and am more satisfied with how I
look. I can even go to the gym and work out by myself, and
feel like I know what I'm doing!"

I just want to thank you for all that you
have done over the years to maintain my physical and mental
health. As a 50+ aged female, it is difficult to find a
trainer who will take me seriously and also challenge me to
increase my strength and endurance. In particular, I have
totally enjoyed the outdoor fitness camp. It has taken me
from junior high PE drop-out to one who looks forward to
exercising outdoors and pushing my abilities to the limit. I
feel great, am fit, and frankly, can out lift many gals 15
years my junior. Recently, my rheumatologist ran bone
density tests. I have increased my bone mass by 6% due to
your efforts. Without the sled pulls, kettle bell drills,
calisthenics and other forms of "torture" I wouldn't be
where I am today. I plan to keep working out as long as
you're there to push me along!
