ROSE-MARIE VIEIERA: "Almost
a year ago, I posted this story on my Facebook page as well as sent it
in to the corporate office of the Rush online. I had heard that the
letter was read out loud to managers at a regional meeting not long
after. Well, the update to this is that I have now lost 50+ pounds in
the last year.

LENORE COLEMAN: "I attend The Rush on N. Main Street in High Point, NC where I have been a member for 3 years. I have struggled with my weight since the birth of my oldest son who
was born in 1994. At my heaviest I weighed 232 lbs. The Summer of
2009 was a very difficult year for my family and me. Due to the
overwhelming stress of that summer..."

THE CAMACHOS: "We joined the Rush in July 2010 as the next step to getting healthier. We come into the gym about three time a week faithfully. One of our favorite classes is The Rush Ride. Erin and Tony are
wonderful trainers that know how to make you want to do your best. We
have also enjoyed our training sessions with Zach. You definitely get to
do something..."

MELVYN DOUGLAS JONES: "I joined the Rush in Dalton, GA in June and signed up for work out session with Chris Hunsucker. At age 55 weighing 272# with a BMI 49% and sitting behind a desk all day long I was getting no exercise except for playing Golf one day a week. After my first session with Chris I knew that my body was a wreck and I was thinking that Chris may have signed..."

ELLIS AND PRISCILLA HILL: "We would just like to let you know how much we are enjoying our
membership at Rush Fitness Center in Lenoir City. Being a Rush member
has been so much more than we ever thought it would be. We try to use a
Fitness Trainer at least twice a week. Our trainer is Gabe Rios. I
chose him because of his friendly personality..."
|
KENNETH NALL: "On October 30th 2010, my wife took me into the RUSH
and had me sign up. I got sessions with the trainer that she had when
she first joined the RUSH in February of 2010 (Dustin Lucas). When I first went in, I had a goal of losing weight (100 lbs), toning and
building strength. At my first weigh-in I weighed 311 lbs."
|
BILLY BRYANT: "My Story starts on November 11, 2010 when I was hit by a rogue wave in
Mexico which dislocated my left shoulder, ripped the rotator cuff
completely off and caused extensive damage to the bicep and triceps as
well as cracked C-6 in my neck. At 52, I found myself facing two
shoulder surgeries and three months of physical therapy I still could
not life..."
|
DR. PHIL HOPKINS: "I saw the posting in the gym asking "why have you come to lift at the
Rush and how has your trainer helped?" Here is my story (so far): I
have a solid weight lifting background and I hired Kellen Oldham to
train me three days a week. Our first meeting was Nov 1, 2010. I had
lost a good deal of ground over the last 24 months or so between work
and..."

THOMAS GLISSON: "I
have been a member since January 2008. I have spent the last 2 years

WILL JOHNSON: "I
joined the RUSH fitness center in its original Hendersonville Rd in
February 2009. It had been a while since I had worked out, and had
never done it what seemed like the right way..."
|
JASON MILLER: "Rush should change its name to "Life Saver". I have been on many
diets. I have been to a few doctors who have given me medication.
However, at the Rush, there is something far better and that is
motivation. Before I met Josh Standifer, I had heard horror stories
about complexes like the Rush. Being a very obese person like myself, it
can be very intimidating..."
|
 GORDON ADKINS: "Back
when I joined the Rush in May 2007, I was very much overweight. My
health wasn�t the best. I weighed 355 pounds at 5�10� and had to wear
overalls and 5XL shirts. Today I weigh 277 pounds and wear XL shirts.
So after my wife went home to be with the Lord in January 07, I retired
from a job that I had done for 24 years. A job that I enjoyed doing. I
worked 50-60 hours per week as a truck driver.

DANYELLE BRAZELL: "Four years ago, at seventeen, I was on the cardiac unit in the hospital with two I.V.s in one arm, a blood pressure cuff on the other arm and wires attached to my chest. Four years ago I began a steady decline up the weight scale, but down a winding staircase. Two years later I was diagnosed with an incurable, debilitating disease called interstistial cystitis."

CHRISTINA GLIDDEN: "It
is with great pleasure that I commend and bring to your attention, an
extraordinary employee of yours, Chris Bearden. Chris has been my

but have only recently become an avid..."

SHERLDENE MISSY MONTGOMERY: "I have been over weight for half of my life, but had always considered
myself fairly healthy. I began feeling bad for a couple months, then in
October 2008 I went to the doctor for a physical. I was diagnosed with
diabetes and..."

in Chatsworth, Georgia. I am a 50 yr. old woman who is 5' 6" tall with 3
adult children and 2 grandchildren. I have never had any problems with
weight gain until about 10-12 yrs. ago. I gradually started gaining
weight when I started having to run the kids different places, eating a
lot of fast foods and staying very stressed over finances and family
issues and dealing with the teenage years.
