Great program! I was afraid to push myself to exercise after my heart episode. This program gave me the confidence to get me back on track. Thank you for your professional help.

I wanted to send along a note of many thanks to you and your group of "cardiac crusaders" at COACH. You guys are fantastic and need to be very proud of the work that you do and have done in the past several years. I joined Coach after a recommendation from my cardiologist and friend, Dr. Richard Hooper.

Dr. Hooper spoke highly of your enthusiastic and caring program for those of us that who required such a service. I was really impressed with the professionalism and thought that went into making my health better.Since joining and now completing my sessions, I have lost 18 pounds, brought my cholesterol levels down to 3.5 and exercise consistently 4-5 times a week in the gym.

This would not have happened without you. Thank you for this.I look forward to coming back in a few months to show you that not only have I lost 18 pounds, but an additional 18 and, am heart healthy and fit!Keep up the good work and continue to do your great work.

Thank You...

After having my surgery in September I truly felt like a bird that had it's wings clipped. As a very active person it was so hard for me to realize I could not do all the things I normally took for granted.

When I started the 6 week program at COACH, you took me under your wings and taught me how to fly again, for this gift I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You played a huge part in my recovery, not only physically but also emotionally. I will miss you all.

Love,

~G.L.
