"It all started because I knew there had to be a better way."

Conventional fitness ‘wisdom’ promoting five-day-a-week exercise routines left me injured and worn out — as well as my clients.

Sure, they were exercising a lot…but also felt exhausted and had trouble breaking through stubborn body fat plateaus. Sound familiar?

There’s nothing worse than showing up to the gym day after day and not seeing progress.

So, what do you do?

You exercise more….and start to eat less —sending you into a metabolic tailspin where your body is less efficient and stores even more fat!

Or just give up…

I started to develop a new fitness framework backed by science. But I knew gyms and trainers would never implement.

(Hint: when they sell you that “more” is better…it helps their bottom line.)

After years immersed in science and recruiting friends and family to test my protocol —the High Efficiency Fitness methodology was born.

I opened InForm Fitness in 1997— a 300 square-foot basement space with five pieces of used equipment.

In November that year, this ‘radical’ workout was featured on the front page science section of the New York Times.

InForm’s ecstatic, and quickly growing, client base fueled more publicity and a book deal with HarperCollins. In 2003, with my friend Bill Schley, I co-wrote Power of 10: The Once a Week Fitness Revolution. It became a NYT bestseller and I was thrust into the limelight appearing regularly on the local and national media scene.

About six years ago, I experienced crippling back spasms. Following a series of x-rays and MRIs, my doctor noticed some structural issues in my lower back, along with advanced arthritis in my lower facet joints - connections between the bones of the spine. I wasn't even 30 yet, and for a year, I had a hard time standing up and lying down. The arthritis was in part due to regular wear-and-tear growing up walking on the pavement my whole life. The doctor suggested surgery to correct the structural issue, which, for me, was not an option. The second doctor that I saw also suggested some surgery. Both even very willing to prescribe pain killers. I was not having any of it. I then saw another doctor at the suggestion of a family member. That doctor suggested another approach. We addressed the immediate pain with a series of epidurals and painful, but helpful, ultrasound-guided injections. But these were just band-aids. He then told me about InForm Fitness. He suggested that I try it out, that he would reach out to them and let them know what would be best for my back. The goal was the build up the muscles around my lower back. I have been going to InForm Fitness now for nearly five years, and to say that it saved my life would be an understatement. Yes, my back does still experience some pain here and there, but I haven't had severe spasms in over four years -- even though my job and life have become more stressful. I also haven't received an epidural or other injection since. I am stronger. I have more definition. Those months that I keep a proper diet, I see muscles that I haven't seen since high school. InForm Fitness is a 20-minute once or twice a week workout that does work. Sure it sounds like a scam, only 20-minutes. However, I go every week because how can I not fit in 20-minutes here and there to ensure I am not confined to a bed or forced to get surgery? In those 20-minutes, as tough as they are, I am getting not just stronger, but healthier and happier. Through the years, I have seen others who suffer more significant injuries and/or illnesses power through the 20-minutes at InForm Fitness. It's been inspiring seeing people go through Chemo but still make it into the gym. I have even run into some of my former Doctors there. I cannot sing InForm Fitness's praises enough. InForm Fitness saved both my physical and mental being. Often when you feel there is something that works so well for you, you want everyone around you to give them a try. Everyone should give InForm a try. Give them a call.

InForm Fitness is awesome. They have a great environment and encouraging staff! Since I started InForm Fitness' high-intensity strength training back in August, my back pain has decreased drastically, and it has improved my sleep! I have a lot more energy. Also, the workout has helped my running routine. My legs are stronger, and I'm able to run longer distances. On a personal note, I've learned so much from my trainer. She taught me how to maintain my bone health, which I'm happy to get a head start on!!
