Program testimonials.

I enjoyed being on the eye-POPPING program and wish I had signed up for the longer version. The food was a lot to prepare in the beginning but once I got in the rhythm and started cooking several amounts at a time, it became easier. I didn’t miss red meat at all and loved the ground turkey, peanut butter and hummus. I wasn’t hungry and therefore I could focus more easily at work and was more productive. My clothes fit better and I no longer have my stomach hanging over my thighs when I sit down. But the most significant improvement me for me was my mood levels. I cry easily and become frustrated when I am dealing with my 17 year old daughter with autism. Her communication is very limited so when she is having a bad day, we all suffer. I found while I was on Meryl’s program, I was able to cope and handle her moods better. I can’t explain why, I just noticed I was calmer and less anxious and less tearful. This made my  home life very enjoyable. So while it took longer to prepare lunches, it was worth the extra effort.
When I began this program, I had lost 35 lbs on a weight loss program but the weight was starting to creep back on. I needed a jump start or I was could see me starting to gain it all back. I didn’t think I needed help with exercising but I was wrong. All the time I had spent in the gym didn’t have the same effect as the 6 weeks that I was doing Meryl’s work-outs. The work-outs were just what I needed to give me a boost and I looked forward to going to the gym so I could do them. I started noticing subtle differences like more definition in my arms, and abs area. I am still not where I would like to be but feel I have the tools to continue on. (S.C., age 52)

“I can’t thank Meryl enough for putting together such a great program. It has truly changed the way I approach working out and nutrition. I can honestly say that I look forward to working out now and maintaining the results I’ve achieved through this program. The training and nutritional program are specifically designed to meet your needs. I lost almost 14 pounds and surprisingly it felt like I was always eating – the meal plans are easy to follow and provide lots of variety. The workout plans are flexible and manageable for someone with a busy lifestyle and throughout the course of ten weeks became easier and easier. Not only did Meryl provide an exceptional level of support over the course of the ten week program but also provided very useful supplementary material to maintain the results I’ve achieved” (C.L., age 30)

I am pleased to say that it is the most effective program that I’ve come to follow and would recommend POP Fitness to anyone looking for positive results! (C.L., age 30)

This program gave me the tools I needed to get and maintain the body I’ve always wanted. Having someone to be accountable to and having support throughout the program was key to my success (M.C., age 29)

Golf testimonials.

In February of 2010 I had the TPI assessment completed by Meryl and began a specific workout program for my off-season. When I was reevaluated in late April, my fitness handicap had dropped significantly. I maintained an in-season workout, and found on the range and the course I was hitting the ball further, with more power & accuracy then last year. I look forward to another off-season off TPI focused workouts, as I now realize how valuable golf specific fitness is to my game. (Senan Foley, City of Calgary Amateur Champion -2010)

My TPI assessment with Meryl made me realize what limitations I have and how they affect my swing. I was really impressed with how she tailored specific golf exercises to the limitations I have, and I was amazed at how effective these exercises were when I was re-tested and showed major improvements in my mobility & strength. I have definitely noticed a change on the golf course and would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their game. (G.L, age 39)
