“Timing is everything…

I had just finished a long distance team relay race and to be honest, I did not feel satisfied. I
started to doubt myself and say things like – I could have done better, what if I had been in
better shape, and big guys are not built to run these type races. Those thoughts led to – why
can’t I lose weight and will I ever regain my confidence? My family’s history of health problems
were driving these thoughts. All this led to one decision. I need to get healthy because I want to
be there for my wife and boys.

My change started with a single conversation. Tiffany listened. She asked tough questions and
she included my wife. I remember her saying “Trust the process and give it a chance.” That
conversation was 5 months ago. Today, I have lost almost 40 pounds, cut my body fat by 14%,
and added 12 pounds of muscle. Was it easy, NO! Was it worth it, YES! The workouts don’t get
easier, you just get stronger.

Namaste is more than the workouts, yoga, and nutrition. Namaste is a family. Tiffany, Kurt,
Ronel, and crew will challenge you to push towards plateaus you never seen before, to a place
you have not seen in a long time or ever possible again. Namaste”

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” – Lao Tzu

When I walked into Namaste Fitness 10 months ago, I was 54 years old, at my highest weight ever, with knee problems, high cholesterol, a prescription for some meds that would supposedly help my brain control my eating, a plastic plate with dividers to portion out protein, carbs, and veggies, and a receipt from my last doctor visit that labeled me obese. I guess I kind of knew it, but I was good at living in denial thanks to unstructured tent dresses with spandex, hiding behind others in group pictures, and changing the settings on my FB so no one could tag me with a photo of me because the last thing I wanted to see was me. That’s sad. I had lost my sparkle. I felt dull. I’d describe the feeling as “sinking into the couch”. I was limited on clothing options. and how long I could dance without getting winded. Simple things like getting on the floor to check my garage disposal was a challenge, and I was tired of joking that one more donut and I wouldn’t fit in the plane seat. I was living a life with limitations, and I was only 54! This was not the life I ever envisioned. Then I saw a photo of someone I knew and could not believe the transformation of her body. She was glowing. I messaged her and she told me all about it. Would you believe it took me another 6 months before I finally walked into Namaste? I thank God for that decision and my commitment to what I call my health and wellness journey. A few days ago, we did yoga outside and I could see myself in the reflection of the doors and I could not believe my eyes. I liked what I saw. No – I finally loved what I saw. It’s still kind of crazy to think this is really me.

I will be 55 next month. In the last 10 months, I have lost 67 pounds and 57 inches. I have learned to think about food and fitness as the tools to maintain my health and wellness. And I finally get to live the life I choose, without limitations.

“Wakey Wakey”. I got this text at 5:15 am one morning asking me why I wasn’t in class.

“You’re getting in your own way”, I was told when I was overthinking and questioning things.

“You’re a rockstar, I’m so proud of you”, when my results started to show.

If you can think of the best of parenting – love and guidance and discipline and structure and praise and support and pushing you just a bit further because they know you’ve got a bit more in you that you wouldn’t get out of yourself – this is Namaste.

Between the personal talks and nutrition classes and strength training and yoga, not to mention the overall sense of community where you really feel like you belong, Namaste works.

What you wear doesn’t matter. What you can do doesn’t matter. Where you begin doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is you finally decide you want better for yourself, and you begin.

My gym closed in the summer of 2019, just as I was going through a divorce after 35 years of marriage. I was limping through life and then I lost my support system and friends who would push me to work out.

For about six months, I would walk or do small workouts, but I would never push myself like I knew I should. I was living with a friend, and we enjoyed cooking good meals, drinking wine with dinner, and saving room for comfort desserts. It was a season I don’t regret, but after six months of it, I was ready to find a new place to work out.

I had written a story for a website about Namaste Fitness Studio and decided to go talk to them. I loved the concept of a training and yoga mix. I decided to invest in myself as a Christmas present and joined for a year.

I fell into the rhythm of the workouts easily. We had done many of the same types of exercises at my last gym. It felt good. I started feeling better and losing weight. I followed the plant-based eating plan and enjoyed the recipes and tips they would give me.

The accountability part of the process was a huge part of my success. Tiffany kept pushing me to do yoga on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I finally relented after a few months and started coming. Pride kept me away at first because I’m not very good at yoga. I’m still not very good more than a year later, but I appreciate the practice and the ability to shut my mind off for an hour during the moves.

I signed up for a second year because the program works. Most of all, I signed up again because the people at Namaste are now family to me. When you sweat together, you bond in a way like no other. You do it for yourself, but it’s so nice to have a support system along the way.

For the past three years I’ve been struggling with debilitating illness and depression. I knew I was ready for a whole lifestyle change when I found Namaste! I wanted a healthier future for myself and my daughter. Tiffany said to “just show up” for the workouts and Ronel said to “follow the food plan”! Keeping it that simple worked and I’ve never been happier!

“Let me share with you some of my experience as a client working with Tiffany. But first, let me say that I had begun to think I couldn’t really lose weight. I am a cancer survivor and on medicine related to that along with the fact that I am over 50.

I started at Namaste Fitness Studio for the weight loss/better physical condition but didn’t know there would be so much more! Tiffany has been such a blessing to me. She brings the right mix of knowledge, push, accountability and fun all together. This is her gift and she uses it to make big impacts on people. Tiffany is amazing and so dedicated to getting you to your goals. I am super excited about all the benefits below that I have seen happen while working with Tiffany.

“I started at Namaste on March 1 2018 and was slightly intimidated by the 3 minute plank that I couldn’t seem to hold for 15 seconds. My weight on the day I started was 242lb. As of January 2019 my weight is 190lb and I am so much stronger. Beyond the weight loss my physical and emotional states are so much improved that I feel like a different person altogether and it is noticed by those who are close to me as well. During my time at Namaste I have developed friendships and new healthier habits for daily life. I am now pregnant with our second child and I am overall in a better state of life. It is quite evident that Tiffany is interested in a wholistic approach to health rather than simply numbers and weight loss. My life has been changed and I’m a better wife and mother for it.”

In August of 2018, I saw a Facebook post about the addition of an early morning fitness class, that ironically worked with my new work schedule, so I decided to check out this place called Namaste Fitness Studio. I met with Ronel for a “tour” and with very little persuasion signed up. The before & after photos that hung throughout the lobby were just amazing. They provided exactly the motivation I needed. My very first class was a Saturday Fitness Yoga class with Tiffany. It was hard, I mean really hard (like terrifying – I wanted to cry) unlike any yoga class I had ever experienced but I made it through. I remember, vividly, my conversation with Tiffany, before that class, telling her how I hoped my photos would one day be on that wall. To which she replied, “ it will, just keep on showing up!” Namaste has provided me with a safe, nurturing, positive environment – especially through the uncertainty of the pandemic. I am all in, this is my family, my house, my tribe, my people, my friends, my strength, my peace. The last 2 years were difficult, but God knew and had me firmly rooted at Namaste through this season. NFS is making a difference not only in my life but the lives of many. Thinking about making some lifestyle changes? Do it!

““Tiffany” was just a name of a trainer that had transformed a friend of mine. December 2017 I decided I wanted to focus on my health. My expectation was to lose 10 pounds and gain some muscle. All was going as planned until the end of the first 30 days. It was at that time when I realized the true potential of staying actively engaged in this journey with Tiffany.

By that spring I had lost 30 pounds of weight while gaining significant increase in muscle and flexibility. Fast forward one year and not only is the weight still gone so is the unhealthy eating habits. I have transformed my diet. I enjoy the results of exercise and yoga…. the yoga has brought me the biggest surprise. My balance, core strength, flexibility are all amazing. I could not have done this without Tiffany and her coaching. She brings the best out of me. I feel great, eat healthy and enjoy my friends at Namaste. Tiffany is truly a blessing to me and now my whole family.”

“Working out with Kurt, Tiffany and my friends at Namaste has been a life changing experience for me. I have dropped 30 lbs of fat since January and I’m in the best shape of my adult life. I feel better and simply enjoy the whole experience. A great venue, super people and remarkable results.”

“I have been very active my whole life never backed down from a physical challenge and loved working out. Working out has never been the problem. Nutrition on the other hand was a major problem. I grew up eating fried and processed foods and thought healthy foods said low fat or no calories on the package. Wrong…

Tiff opened my eyes to so many things. We eat to fuel our bodies to be the best version of ourselves we can be. I suffered from sciatic issues and heart burn before starting this new journey. Now that I have taken control I’m off of all antacids and I rarely suffer from sciatica. All the cravings don’t just magically go away but they have become so unimportant and not worth it. Since taking on this new life style I have lost over 30 pounds, several inches and lots of body fat. More importantly than any number for the first time in 31 years I feel comfortable in my own skin.

Tiff and Kurt came in my life for a reason much bigger than fitness! I feel so much more empowered and educated about my health and fitness and with the things I have learned feel that I will be a much stronger person mentally, spiritually and physically. The journey is not over though and the grind never stops- NAMASTE!”

“If you are looking for a trainer/health coach that will truly make a difference in your life, Tiffany is the person for you. I have been training with her for 6 weeks and the transformation has already exceeded my expectations. I’ve lost 40lbs overall, and gained 10lbs of muscle.

It’s always been a struggle for me to lose weight and get healthy, but with Tiffany on my team, it’s been a breeze compared to the things I’ve tried in the past. The approach is very simple: Do and eat what she says, show up to her killer workouts, and you will get amazing results.

I’ve been doing the 1 on 1 personal training, but she also offers group fitness sessions and group yoga, which I’ve tried and loved. She even hosts nutrition classes for members that are incredibly helpful.

Namaste Fitness Studio is a pretty special place. I can see that Tiffany has a unique bond with each of her clients. She really cares and is just as excited, if not more so than us, to see us each meet and surpass our goals.

Tiffany and her husband Kurt are both amazing people with hearts of gold. I can’t express how lucky I feel to have found this place. If you’re reading this and wondering if this is the place to help you get fit and healthy, look no further!”

“I knew I would be 60 years old before my first grandchild would be born, so I decided I needed to get in shape so that I could live longer, with a better quality and healthier life. A friend of mine had previously used Tiffany Price as his personal trainer. I gave him unmerciful grief for becoming a “label reading, organic food eater. After a few months of my grief, he responded that he had tried to lose weight for 30 years without success.  He was a professional and I was a professional. He said it makes sense to seek out professional services to be successful. I ruminated on this for months before I decided that he was right, and that I should interview Tiffany. My daughter was also very interested, and after a very positive interview experience we each decided to independently proceed.

At the start of January 2017, I weighed 205 pounds.  I was taking cholesterol and blood pressure medicine to manage my being overweight.

I realize there is a season in life for everything, and I dedicated myself to the season of getting in shape. For six months, I exercised as Tiffany instructed, and ate exactly what Tiffany told me. As a result, my weight is now 143 pounds (62 pounds lighter), and I no longer need blood pressure or cholesterol medicine! During this, I increased my muscle mass by 25 pounds. Therefore, my net loss of fat is closer to 85 pounds.

People ask if I feel better and have more energy and I say: I have been able to accomplish things I never thought possible including: completing a 5K race with my daughter, running a 5-mile race, and climbing Kroag Patrick in Ireland. I’m constantly getting positive comments from friends and colleagues about how much better I look, and I am very much encouraged by those comments. I have learned to drink smoothies in the morning and how to plan for not only one meal but for the whole week; prepared on Sunday afternoon and pulled out of the freezer as needed.

This has been a life-changing event for me and my family. I will continue to use Tiffany’s services so that she can hold me accountable. I’m not stupid, I already knew that diet and exercise go hand-in-hand for proper physical health. However, I know that I need an accountability partner to make sure that I follow through with my goals. Thank you Tiffany.”

“Where to begin – this past year has been an amazing life changing JOURNEY! I have come through a year of total transformation. I still can’t believe that I have lost 100 lbs. It just blows my mind! A year ago I knew I had do something. I was overweight, could hardly breathe walking just a short distance or trying to tie my shoes. Unhappy, had no self confidence, my diet was a joke and had no motivation or energy. That ALL changed when I walked into Namaste Fitness Studio. Little did I know that this wasn’t just another gym but a place I would learn, grow transform my life and meet the most inspirational people. When I met Tiffany Price she had all the confidence in me that I could achieve what I never dreamed possible. One of the first things she said to me is “this is not a marathon but a journey”.  Tiffany is so educated in every aspect of exercise and nutrition (I won’t say diet because it is not, it is a lifestyle change of healthy eating). She is the most knowledgeable, upfront, honest, caring and dedicated coaches EVER! From day one she has been by my side every step of the way. It is what she does for everyone of her clients! Each one of us is different and our journeys are different and she embraces those differences in each one of us. She draws the best out of each one of her clients and holds us accountable. Her dedication to each one of us is unending! I worked hard to get to where I am at but I honestly don’t know where I would be at without all the support and inspiration from Tiffany and my Namaste family. She has given me the tools to succeed and continue to grow. I definitely stepped way out of my comfort zone right into the best decision of my life! I cannot wait to see what this next year has in store for me as I continue my journey at Namaste Fitness Studio. I am loving living a healthy lifestyle. This is me now and I couldn’t be happier!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my Namaste family and most of all Tiffany!”
