Success Stories

I am an AFPA Certified Sports Nutritional Consultant and AFPA Nutrition & Wellness Consultant. If it wasn't for these certifications I wouldn't have the knowledge to help me launch my energy bar, 3BAR nationwide.  3BAR is an all natural, organic, vegan, kosher, wheat-free, gluten-free, cholesterol free, and GMO free energy bar.  I am currently selling in over 100 stores nationwide from Colorado to New York and all over the state of Florida. I have been featured in Triathlete Magazine, St. Petersburg Times and now have my own weekly radio show on Sports Radio 1470 am!

Thanks for your consideration!

The thirteen recruits stood like scattered wooden soldiers, scared and stiff.  At exactly 6 am, I stood in front of them, wearing black and a stern face.  “Welcome to day one of boot camp,” I yelled.  “You will love to hate me, and I will make your life miserable for the next four weeks.  But I will make sure you accomplish your goals.”  The wood soldiers were erect, terrified and tense.

My name is Barbara, 45, fitness instructor. I pushed my recruits beyond their limits for one hour a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks in a row.  Absenteeism was not an option. I quickly snuffed any attempt at self-promotion with more push-ups. They earned dreaded flutter kicks for every complaint voiced.  They learned to put on happy faces and push forward. The toy soldiers became a unit as they sweated together. By day 4, their bodies were in utter shock. Unable to sit without groaning, they went down the steps on their behinds. I wondered if they were going to survive the four weeks, but I kept on coaching them through pain, sweat, torn muscles, fatigue and discouragement. I cheered them on secretly, sometimes one second at a time, or one single step at a time. I kept my game face on, but couldn't help letting a smile leak out occasionally.

By day 20, each one of my thirteen recruits had at least doubled the number of push-ups they could do with proper form, and each took at least 30 seconds off their half-mile run. They stood tall as we handed them their “Boot Camp Survivor” certificates, elated to have earned such a noble title. I was like the proud mama of gorgeous babies. I let the mask down and cheered loudly.

I received my AFPA Personal Trainer Certification in October of 2005. I am very proud and glad to have accomplished this. I was interviewed by the owner of a gym, I showed her my certification card, and she hired me on the spot. I am still working at The Coria Fitness Club in Brownsville, Texas, and I am happy to be able to help clients that are recovering from injuries. I also train healthy clients. I have also motivated my fiancée into working out. I am happy to say that I am pleased with my training program.

The client that I am very happy to be able to help get in shape is my mother. In January 2006 she suffered a major heart attack, and thanks to the AFPA educational materials I read, and research I have done, I helped her lose 30 pounds and establish a more healthy lifestyle. My mother is now doing well and continues to work out regularly.

I've been working out since I was in high school, but now with the studying I did to acquire my AFPA certification, I am confident that I can train, help, and change someone's life for the better.

Sincerely,

Sew News is the largest sewing magazine in the industry, everybody who sews is familiar with Sew News. We are in the Jan. 07 issue. I received a copy in the mail yesterday and I just had to share it with you. Sewing Yoga, my program, the program that I developed from the competent teachings of AFPA is not only in the magazine but it got the COVER!!!!! It is also a 5 page spread in the CENTERFOLD!!!!! We are getting ready to do a video to go along with it. I also have been chosen to present it at the American Sewing Guild National Conference in Sacramento, Ca. in July.
