Challenge Testimonials
”I had been contemplating trying to get in shape for longer than I’d like to admit, but the idea of going to the gym and using machines and weights was not one to which I have ever responded well. I first saw a story on MBGM on KECI early in the year and thought the concept looked interesting. A few months went by while I kept trying to convince myself to start working out, but I never seemed to find the motivation. Then I heard a radio spot advertising the MBGM 30-Day Challenge, and I decided it might provide enough motivation to get me up and moving. I figured that 30 days wasn’t that long … and if I hated it, I could just stop going when the Challenge was done.
The first day was very helpful. Tynille went over the basic principles of MBGM and had us do a few exercises to test our current strength levels. Before each exercise, she explained what muscle groups were being used as well as other exercises that were in the same family. It was exciting to hear and see all of these challenging activities that were all about working on you. We also talked about the importance of eating well. That wasn’t news to most of us, but Tynille impressed upon us that gradual steps are important to success. I was so excited about the next month, I dove right in, committing to five workouts a week. Taking Tynille’s dietary tips to heart, I also slowly starting to change my mostly fast-food/dining-out habits.
What I discovered very quickly was that everyone at MBGM is there for the same reason: to be active and to support one another while doing it. I will be honest … it is a lot of hard work! I had days when I thought I wouldn’t be able to move due to sore muscles (including a few I never knew I had). As time passed, the soreness moved from one place to another as I became stronger. I have had troubles with both of my ankles for years, and creaks in many of my joints, but the total full-range training at MBGM helped more than I ever imagined. The results from my 30-Day Challenge were the loss of eight pounds and a very noticeable increase in strength.
My main reason for not working out in the past was my inability to keep myself motivated to go to the gym on a regular basis or to push myself to keep working harder. I don’t ever hesitate to head out to MBGM, though.” – Jason McDaniel, 30 Day Challenge Winner
“From the beginning to the end, it has been an amazing and challenging experience. I saw myself get stronger day by day. My movements became quicker and my energy level increased. Definitely worth it, my desire to continue is strong!” - LaNette Diaz
“Thank you so much. I am so glad I decided to do the Challenge. I really enjoy the workouts – they make sense. It’s a positive, inspiring environment. You create a welcoming space that truly encourages growth. You walk the line well between pushing and supporting. You inspire improvement, strength, and health.” - Mary Pat Hansen
“I loved it! I liked the consistency of coming many times a week balanced with the variety of workouts. I got amazing results – I am now able to do full push ups (chest to the ground) and a chin up! Never in my life have I been able to do that. I’ve used resistance with weights for years and never felt this strong. I’ve gained an incredible amount of confidence in what I can do both in and out of the gym. Tynille makes every exercise accessible, regardless of level. The combination of guided training, consistency, and body weight resistance has made me a client for life.” – Caryn Youngholm
“The Challenge experience helped me realize my athletic potential. In the past, I have never completed a consistent training routine. I was amazed at my improvement in physical strength, endurance, appearance, and well-being. The actual Challenge experience is fun and informative. I enjoyed the variety in the workouts which made each day new and exciting. The size-limited classes lends to personalized attention from the trainer. I look forward to continuing my new health routine.” – Molly Skorpik, 60 Day Challenge Winner
