“Going the extra mile to reach the next level!” Kim Buckner calls herself a life-long athlete and her lifestyle bears that out. She has always been physically active. Kim enjoys walking and has even spent the past 1 ½ years running regularly and participating in triathlons. Recently, though, she began to feel that all this hard work accomplished little. She felt that she was starting to plateau.

One day when she was out walking (of course), she discovered Studio 360 and her life has not been the same! Kim began to have a variety to her workout that she did not have before. Studio 360 focuses on the whole body (core training) and the results have been productive and pleasing to her.

Kim cites many reasons for enjoying her workouts at Studio 360: “I never have the same workout and they do well targeting specific areas. I also feel stronger as a result of their great weight training.”

She continues, “In addition to better routines and a harder workout, I love the privacy that working out there provides. In addition, the staff is positive and encouraging. They are like family. It is a great environment!”

Kim works in the downtown area and likes the proximity to Studio 360 and the stress release it provides in an often very busy day. Kim absolutely recommends Studio 360 to others who want to live a richer, more active lifestyle in a place where fitness and health come full circle!

“As I write this and look at these picture many emotions cross my mind. At one time I weighted 242 lbs. I was depressed, hated to look in a mirror and hated cameras even more.

“When I came to the realization that I had to change, for my health, my family and my self esteem, I know it would take hard work. I stared in a size 22 and lost the first 20lbs. by myself. Then I hit the provincial brick wall.

“That is when I started Personal training with Justin. In five months I went from a size 18 w to a size 12!!!

“I changed my way of thinking about myself and the world in general. I have lost a total of 65 pounds and I know I could not have done this alone. Through prayer, help from my personal trainer, Justin and dedication and hard work, I have achieved great accomplishments. I still have some more to lose but I know with the combination above I will truly reach my SUCCESS!!!”

It has been only seven short months since Jerry “The Dog” Henderson began working out at Studio 360. He is now enjoying a lifestyle that he might not have imagined only eight months ago.

Last year, Jerry was working at a job and living a lifestyle that were both very sedentary. In fact, Jerry began suffering from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and very susceptible to breaking.

Any bone is susceptible to breaking, but according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation: of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity.

He began to become concerned about the combination of his age, his weakened bones, and inability to perform routine daily functions. It was affecting his life negatively both physically and mentally, and he wanted to do something about it other than continue to take the medication he was prescribed.

That's when he added working out at Studio 360 to a comprehensive health regimen. He decided to take advantage of one of Studio 360's Three Month Specials and has not looked back! Jerry alternates both weight training and cardio and according to trainer Justin Hair, He comes in every day ready to get the job done. He has made marked improvement. He can now run, jump, and navigate steps due to improved bone density. Jerry's tenacity and resolve can be an inspiration to us all.

Congratulations Rocky!
