“I was excited to work with a personal trainer and Holly Brooks is great.  She has helped me with my goals of losing weight and most importantly helped me with the foods I eat.  She has helped me understand what the BodyBugg® can do to help me make better food choices.  I have lost 20 lbs, 23 inches, and 5% body fat in 12 weeks!  I look forward to my workouts and getting in the best shape of my life.” – Cindy Zielke, Aspen Member

“Joining Aspen was probably one of the smartest things I have done.  I was overweight and heading down a path of possibly becoming obese.  I knew I had to do something when I ran out of excuses that I could not longer fit into my clothes.  My trainer, Laura, and her kick butt workouts helped me gain back my confidence, energy, and motivation I had lost throughout the years.  She also showed me healthier versions of some of my favorite foods and healthy snack options. I am no longer intimidated by the gym thanks to Aspen and my awesome trainer Laura!”               – Fran O’Toole, Aspen Member
