I walked through the door of CW Circuit with 90 pounds to lose, a very heavy heart, and had never worked out in a gym before. I couldn't walk very far without running out of breath, I surely couldn't do any situps or pushups, and couldn't even step up onto a small step. I quickly learned that the owner, Calvin Barnes honestly cared, and was eager to start building up my strength, stamina, and most importantly, my self-esteem, through a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ.
I’ve lost weight many times before, but always gained it right back. Calvin has shared his strong faith with me and shown me how God can heal my heart, and my eating problems through the power of the Holy Spirit.
So far I have gone from size 22 to size 10, and lost 75 pounds with a healthy, nutritional food plan and customized strength training and cardio. There are no pills, shakes, fake food or surgeries.
I no longer need cholesterol medication since my cholesterol has gone from 204 to 168, and my blood pressure has gone from a high level, bordering the need for medication, to a normal level. My blood sugars and blood fats are at normal levels.
I feel so much healthier, and have a lot more energy. I now enjoy playing with my little grandson without running out of breath all the time. I can now run 3-4 miles, do pushups, situps and get up on the high step.
Calvin has a sincere desire to help everyone, and I am extremely thankful for his patience, encouragment, and his faith in me to succeed. The Lord has truly blessed me and I know I will succeed with His strength and love. I look forward to continuing this journey and enjoying the process!
