Heidi, 2nd Place Silver and Black Figure Competition
"I
have learned to test my limits. I now have a completely different
mindset than when I started. Now I actually look like an athlete, feel
good about myself and am fit and ready to be my best! Thank you for
everything!"
Michelle, Wedding Day Body
"I feel empowered through exercise and getting in shape. I recently
had someone come up to me and say "You look great- you look like you
have been working out!" Not Just, "You look like you've lost weight."
That's what makes this experience different than anything else I have
ever done. This program was never just about weight loss. This, for me,
is about changing my body, empowering my body and my mind, and just
about feeling good again."
Trisha, First Strength Competition
"Participating in my first power lifting competition at RAW was one of the most anxious and rewarding memories of my life. After training with Tory for only a few months, she recognized that I had a desire to transform my body. Her vast knowledge of positioning, posture and technique helped me lose excess body fat and tone and build muscles that I never knew existed in my body. I was never one to jump on a scale and weigh myself, I just wanted to feel a difference in my body. I knew I achieved my goal of becoming stronger by how my body felt and looked and the extreme happiness I had after a successful lift. Her constant positive encouragement led me into competing in the RAW Push and Pull Power Lifting Meet in March 2009. Having the audience of fans, friends and family members cheer me on was one of the best feelings in the world. RAW created such a positive environment for my first competition. The diverse group of competitors,Tory and Tom, were like my second family and for just that one day, I felt like a true power lifting competitor! Thanks Tory and Tom for always believing in me."
Trainer, at Raw Center for Strength GYM
Having been involved in the fitness business for over twenty years, I have
became increasingly frustrated at the poor standards in our industry.
Quite simply we became sick and tired of clubs where sales numbers were
more important than member results, personal training standards were
ridiculously poor and good training programs and qualified instruction
were almost impossible to find. We set out to create the solution. And
we did.
Our program integrates the best training possible with sound nutritional advice. After meeting with a fitness coach to go through our Raw Fitness
Body Blueprint you will have unlimited access to our group coaching
classes. Your program will include nutrition recommendations and a
nutrition journal and you are guaranteed to see results!
Barbara, Learning to exercise
"I just finished about 3 years of training with Victoria Stephens of RAW
Center For Strength Gym. Although it has been a substantial
commitment, the results make me wish I had started ini my 20's instead
of my 50's! After working with Victoria, consistently for 3 days a
week of individual sessions, I finally have made exercise a daily
habit. It just doesn't feel right when I miss working out. It is such a
pleasure to exercise and work out now because I understand what I am
doing. From working with Tory, I have learned what exercises to do and
how to do them to get my desired results. The time and money I have
spent to imporve my health by working with Victoria has been well
invested."
