Introducing Member
Amy Wind
Introducing Member
Jim Wood
Colorado Springs, CO
The Woodlands, TX
It’s exciting when we get to introduce you to a
member with a million-watt smile and results we
can all celebrate and be proud of. Upon joining the
club with her family two years ago, Amy Wind’s
goal was to lose 105 pounds. Prior to joining
VillaSport, she had never stepped foot inside a
fitness club. When Amy did start coming to the
club, she only dabbled with the cardio machines
because she was leery about walking into a group
exercise class.
It was in the process of joining VillaSport that Jim
Wood was introduced to the benefits offered by the
club’s Fitness Advisors. He decided it was finally
time to do something proactive to get in better
shape and lose weight.
Amy decided to try LOSE TO WIN in the fall of
2013. She ventured outside her comfort zone and
tried and fell in love with Gretchen Melton’s fitness
boot camps. With encouragement from Gretchen,
Amy also tried her first group exercise classes and
found herself feeling more and more comfortable.
Since then, Zumba®, BODYPUMP™, and GRIT™
have become her go-to classes.
Amy’s hard work paid off! She was a top finisher
in the Fall 2013 LOSE TO WIN and she won the
Spring 2014 LOSE TO WIN Challenge. Her results
are fantastic and her attitude is off-the-charts
amazing! She especially loves the program for its
support, fun, and challenges.
Amy’s only regret is that she didn’t try the group
exercise classes sooner. Stepping outside her
comfort zone gave her the ambition to do more
and try new things. She is grateful for Gretchen’s
encouragement and tremendous support during
her amazing journey.
On his initial visit, Jim completed the InBody 520
body composition analysis with Kendall Richardson
and then they worked together to set goals for Jim
to lose 20 pounds and gain five pounds of lean
body mass.
Jim has been working out twice weekly with
Kendall for more than 10 weeks. During this time,
Kendall has been motivational and has kept the
workouts both challenging and interesting. Jim has
not only lost 20 pounds but he has gained eight
pounds of lean muscle mass!
Jim is motivated to do more with all the positive
comments he has received. The most noticeable
changes are increased strength, flexibility, and
energy. He is feeling terrific!
