Rod is a great example of how a Mesomorph responds to High Intensity Strength Training!!

Read His Story!

Why did I want to give Inside Outside a try? First ,was my high cholesterol - for which I was prescribed Lipitor or Crestor for more than 5 years. My internist said I would have to take it for the rest of my life. Taking those medications made my muscles sore so I took something for that. I also felt stiffness in my joints (shoulders mostly) and wasn’t very flexible anymore. Lastly, I had a belly hanging over my belt that I was not very proud of. You here it all the time – “diet & exercise”… I also knew that if I controlled my diet, I should be able to bring down my bad cholesterol level. I decided to stop taking the meds and see my doctor again in six months and check all my blood levels.

Dr. Christian’s Inside Outside clinic and staff have been the answer for me. I first started the Hi-Lo weight program and started feeling better and stronger. But after one month and no weight loss, I talked with Dr. Christian, went to his nutrition seminar and really started thinking about losing the fat I had on board. With Dr. Christian’s help, “I changed what I ate” and I didn’t think of it as a diet. I got serious about protein, fish oil and supplements. I started every morning with a Brain Shake, made sure I got my daily protein for the strength program (so I wouldn’t lose muscle) and cut down on so many carbs and the bad fats in my meals. I stuck with the strength program twice a week, thanks to my “Super Trainer – Sierra” . I never thought I’d make the “500 Club or the Row Your Own Club” when I started but I have with her help.

And well, I saw my internist after six months at Inside Outside. My cholesterol level was great, and in fact, lower than at any time over the last 5 years while I was taking a prescription to lower it . The doctor said no more medications where needed. Where am I now after 10 months of Super Slow? I have lost almost 20 pounds of pure body fat. My body fat percentage is down to almost 16%. My weight has not been this low in more than twenty years and I feel great! Thanks Sierra for pushing me on the weights. Thanks Dr. Christian for changing the way I think about nutrition and health."

“It’s hard to put into words exactly what this program means to me. I have been on just about every known weight loss plan you can think of over the years. I would diet, exercise, lose the weight and then put it right back on with additional weight every time. Four years ago over a 3-month period, I lost 20lbs. by watching my diet and exercising 6 days per week. Then I developed tendinitis in my right shoulder and all the weight came right back. I was literally a doctor’s appointment from going on blood pressure and cholesterol medication.

Then this past summer thinking “why can’t I lose weight anymore”, I ran into a friend who told me about Dr. Christian’s Strength Training and Zone Program. I made an appointment and signed up on the spot. After 23 workouts (two 20 minute sessions a week) and following the Zone Diet, I have lost 15 lbs. of fat and put on 4 lbs. of muscle. I have 10 workouts to go to complete my initial program. All my aches and pains are gone. Also, my cholesterol has plummeted and my blood pressure has dropped into a healthy range.

The Hi-Lo Strength Training and Zone Diet are now a permanent part of my new healthy lifestyle. I thank The Lord every day for sending me to Dr. Christian and his amazing staff.

I heard once “I want to die very young at a very old age”! That says it all!"

God Bless,

Cindy Daskivich

50+ is the new 30!!

Andy, one of our trainers has made great

progress since he began working here!

“I have been working out consistently for the last two years. I hit plateau where it was hard to see any improvements in my muscle size. I then started working at Inside Outside and started real high intensity workouts. After starting this form of exercise, I dropped about 2 percent boy fat and gained over 5 lbs of muscle This is great considering I wasn’t showing any improvements from my traditional workout methods. High Low Intensity Strength Training helped me break through this barrier and into a higher level of fitness!”

It took awhile, but Ruby stuck with it and has had great results!!

“This has been the first program that I have stuck with because it just made sense. After having several car accidents, no other training had given me the strength and healing my body needed to keep up with what I love to do, photographing beautiful people and keeping up with my amazing kids. Being educated by Dr. Christian about nutrition and how the body builds muscle and strength have been a real blessing. It has allowed me to succeed and attain my Goals in health. It also has been a great stress reliever. So many of my friends were amazed at my strength and how good my body looked while pregnant. It made me feel so good to be strong and feel good. I delivered a very healthy 9.5 pound baby boy named Joshua at home. I want to say that words can not express my gratitude to Dr. Christian for what he’s done to help me. It is few people that change your life and make such an impact. Thank you Dr. Christian for all that you do and who you are. You are a blessing in my Life."

Mar-Apr 2009 Daniel Eisenhauer Jan-Feb 2009 Newsletter

Daniel was looking for a program to take it to the next level, He found it!!

Read His Story

"My name is Daniel Eisenhauer, and I first heard about inside outside fitness through a friend and colleague of my father’s, Mr. Joe Hanna. Joe Hanna was busy doing some consulting work with Dr. Christian and Joe knew that I had become out of shape and was interested in gaining strength and losing fat. I came in at the best of Mr. Hanna and sat through about a 30 minute consultation. At the conclusion of the consultation, I decided to go through with the body scan and trial workout. I was amazed after the first workout at how fatigued I felt after just a 25 minute workout. The following day my muscles were so sore. I was more sore than spending 2 hours at a regular fitness gym. I decided to follow Dr. Christian’s advice and alter my diet to my body’s needs and begin the workout regiment.

During the first couple of weeks with the help of Inside Outside’s great personal trainers I kept going up in weight on the equipment, but I was skeptical on how I could get into better shape with no cardio or aerobic exercise. After the end of my first full month at Inside Outside I needed to buy different slacks and my arms and chest were visibly larger. I could also begin to see muscles in my abdomen for the first time since college. I was asked by countless people ”Have you been working out?” Or “Have you been losing weight?” I am thankful everyday that Mr. Hanna referred me to Inside Outside. My follow up scan in addition to the way my clothes fit differently and the complements I received was proof enough.

Dr. Christian, Sierra, Andy and the rest of the staff are amazing and I tell everyone that I know about Inside Outside, even though I am a bit reticent to give up my secret workout advantage. All kidding aside however, Inside Outside is a serious way to reach to your fitness goals fast without taking a vast amount of time out of your schedule, risking serious injury, and don’t ever have to worry if your workout partner will show up. It is a one stop shop, one that really works, for everything your body needs to be its best." see his results

Jan-Feb 2009 Stacey Johnson PhD Jan-Feb 2009 Newsletter

Stacey has found a perfect program to regain the strength she enjoyed as an Olympic Fencer!!

Read Her Story

Dear Dr. Christian

"When I came for my first session with you my clothes were fitting too tight and I had lost the core body strength I had always enjoyed as an athlete. As I was getting older, I was losing muscle strength and gaining more fat. The first job was to lose those extra pounds and the next job was to find my inner athlete again. Last week I mentioned that I really felt my core strength returning. I just felt strong, walking and moving again. Today we took a body scan and low and behold -- my body indeed was building back its muscle strength. Simply focusing on eating less carbs and more protein, along with the high intensity workouts, had my body responding so positively and in just a few months time.

Thank you for all that you do to help folks rebuild their health and strength all over again. It is fun getting to know you and the staff and to see the progress so concretely reflected in the results.

Who would have thought that "slowing" things down could help someone move better as in the Olympic motto, "Swifter, Higher, Stronger!"

Best to you in this New Year!

Dr. Stacey Johnson

Renee has met her goals with Strength Training and Medifast!

Read Her Story

In Renee's own words:

"Dear Dr. Christian and Nancy,

Words truly cannot express my deep joy in getting to goal!!! I am so energized and feel more focused than I have felt in years! Beginning in March of 2008, I only invested in the Super Slow sessions once a week. I could truly FEEL the benefits within 2 to 3 sessions. By June I wanted to do something more and get to those muscles underneath by participating in the Medifast program. My goal was that by my 50th birthday I would be down to a size 4 and eureka, I finally got there! I also love the fact that I can get my beauty aids done in one place so far as skincare and I use some of the supplements that you recommend. I am truly appreciative of your research and commitment to health and wellness. Thank you to you and your staff for being encouraging to stick with my strength training, diet and having great products to aid in the fight against unhealthy aging. I am looking forward to the next decade with confidence and excitement.

Most sincerely and with gratitude,

Renee

"When I first heard about Dr. Christian I was intrigued by the philosophy of Strength Training...maybe even somewhat skeptical. I had worked out before and as most people and I had a perception that you lift as much weight as you can as fast as you can. Although I felt good about working out I never truly saw the results I was looking for. In the past 2 months since I began Strength Training I am finally seeing the results I was wanting, less body fat, better definition and an overall positive image of myself!"

"I first heard about Strength Training from my parents. I normally don’t enjoy exercise, but I was intrigued by 2 20-30 minutes a sessions a week. I thought “Maybe I can do this”. Plus, no RUNNING! I haven’t really lifted weights since I was in Junior High School, so I was a little apprehensive. If I was sore at 13 after lifting weights, what’s it going to feel like at 45? Surprisingly, after the first session, I was a little tight, but after that, nothing. Within a few weeks, I could actually start to feel the differences in my body. I was standing straighter, and generally feeling better. And the comments from my wife and kids felt pretty good too. I haven’t missed a session yet (thanks to the staff at Inside/Outside Spa for some last minute schedule adjustments), and look forward to many sessions in the future. Now, if I could just tackle the diet part."

Janet shows us how to put on muscle and lose fat with Strength Training® and the Zone! Read her story and see her results!

"I'm one of those lucky persons who has benefited from my parents' "slim-genes." And because I've always been slender, I've never been interested in exercising. Twenty years ago I might have tried some leg lifts or some crunches, but not with any type of consistency. As those little dimples and pouches of fat started to develop where they are the least appealing, I resigned myself to the fact that "that's just how women are built." Then a couple of women at my company signed up for the Strength Training program at Inside Outside and wow! What a difference it made. I watched the clothes start to hang off of them and wondered if it could really be so simple. But it was the sight of beautiful shoulders and upper arms when sleeveless shirt time came around that truly sold me. For years I'd said I didn't have the discipline for an exercise program. Now I have no problem with being disciplined. With a true commitment to the program and just a little piece of time out of my schedule twice a week, I'm a new person. Not only have I been rescued from my "rider's breeches" on my thighs, but within 8 weeks I saw such a dramatic improvement in my muscle tone in my legs and in my arms. I feel much better, and the real benefit will be for the long haul. As I age, the improvement in my bone density, in strength, in posture will all be attributed to my commitment to this program. I'm sold, and I try to tell someone about the program every week. If it's changed my life, it can change yours!

"I was introduced to the Strength Training Program when Lynn arranged to have Dr. Christian come and speak to the San Antonio Breakfast Club in Oct 2007. When he said about loss of muscle and strength as you age made a lot of sense to me and at 81 years I was starting to realize I was losing both muscle and strength. I decided to start the program with some skepticism as to whether I could, at my age, actually build muscle and feel younger. Dr. Christian performed my followup scan and I had gained 3lbs of muscle and lost 10lbs of fat!! I recently realized how much the program had helped me when I slipped on a curb and was able to keep myself from having a bad fall. Without Strength Training I would surely have broken something. Strength Training is something I can see myself doing indefinitely. Why would anyone ever stop?"

"I was introduced to the Strength Training Program by my personal physician who just so happens is enrolled in the program. After my initial consultation with Dr. Christian I was convinced that this was the program for me. I really like the one on one personal training regime you receive. The program has increased my strength level and awareness of the importance of strength training as you age. Having been in the program now for a short while there is significant improvement in my physical physique and overall health. With my personal physician there are noticeable results in my lab work that I attribute to my workout with the Strength Training Program. I enjoy the A/B routine that I have. I gives me a complete workout of the body in a short 20-25 minute span twice a week. Thank you to the entire Strength Training team and a special THANK YOU to Dr. Christian and Jill for a job well done."

4 Months + hard work = 15lbs of Muscle for John. Read his story

"After approximately four months of training, it is very rewarding to see the fruits of the labor in the numbers, which far exceeded my expectations. The Strength Training Program is unique in that it is one of the few things athletically that I can pursue as vigorously as I would like without getting hurt. My Strength Training Instructor, Jill Niccum, (who is one of the reasons the program’s name should indeed have “super” in it) encourages me to set a record every work out. Thanks to the design of the cutting-edge equipment, the expert instruction and a great atmosphere for self-improvement led by Dr. Christian, much can be accomplished in a very short period of time. The intensity is up to you, as are the results."

"Finding Dr. Christian’s Inside Outside Super Slow program was an answer to my prayer. For the past 12 years, I have been totally inactive. Zero exercise!

I sit at a desk all day, everyday, and the lack of exercise took its toll on my life and my body. I developed neck, lower back problems, a meniscus tear in my left knee, foot and ankle problems, poor sleep, low energy. I was visiting the chiropractor once a week. I joined a gym, twice, at the advice of my chiropractor who told me I desperately needed to start some strength training exercises. I was caught in a vicious cycle, I needed to exercise, but I could not find the right place or the right program. I tried the gym, yoga, Pilates, water aerobics; nothing seemed to work for me. In February 2007 during a retreat, I Shared my dilemma with Jan Scott, a current Inside Outside member, whom by the way is in great shape. She shared her secret with me. I was very skeptical of the program when she mentioned weight training, (since I have never attempted to work with weights) and that it only took 20-25 minutes twice a week at first then once a week thereafter. I will be eternally grateful to Jan for sharing her secret.

The Strength Training and the Zone Program are amazing. Dr. Christian and his staff have been extremely helpful and supportive in helping me realize that I am stronger than I think I am. Their knowledge and expertise have made all the difference in making this program work for me. The results have been amazing, I am starting to see muscles I didn’t even know I had. I can actually feel I am getting stronger every day. I feel better, I sleep better, I have more energy. Most of my days are now pain free!! I look forward to working out. The results of the Inside Outside program keep me motivated. After each session, I feel great. I intend to make the Super Slow/Zone program a permanent part of my life.”
