Ann has been a dedicated poised™ client and friend even before poised was poised. As a full time career woman outside of the home and as a mother of three, including a set of twins, Ann’s life was full of demands and time constraints, leaving little time for her. This rapid pace beckoned Ann towards a healthful lifestyle, one she could create a leaner more efficient body and a relaxed and energetic spirit. This was the beginning of Ann’s search for a balanced life. We at poised™ can tell you she has done all of this, and more. Ann struggled with her weight most of her life. She knows what it feels like to be excluded, not supported, and cast aside just because of her weight. Never giving up on herself, Ann began to work towards a more healthful lifestyle nine years ago. She began swimming, playing soccer, running and taking aerobics classes, where she met and hired Yvonne in 1998. Together they devised a plan that included nutrition, exercise and positive imagery. Since that time, Ann has worked consistently to achieve her weight lose, strength and spirit goals and she has exceeded all expectation. She is not only beautiful to look at, she is lovely to know. To look at her now, one would never guess she was overweight or out of shape. She accomplished her weight loss goal and has maintained that goal for the last seven years. Ann has always been open to trying new training methods, even if the conditions weren’t ideal, such as training in the middle of her living room while all around, her home was being torn apart due to renovation. She never let that detour her and never allowed any condition to be used as an excuse to distract her from her goal. She has excelled in core training, pilates and strength training. She has trained with nearly every member of the poised team and we all feel as though she is one of the family.
Today Ann is an exceptional model of what fitness, eating well and perseverance can do. She has ignited her spirit within, which has given her a sense of wellbeing while making fitness her lifestyle. Through this positive awakening, Ann pursued her lifelong dream of becoming an artist. She returned to school as a full time art student and now has a vast collection of her personal expression in photography, oils and charcoal. Who said, “Life begins at 40?” Life begins when you start it … and Ann is definitely full steam ahead.
