Kim is Back at IR and Conquering New Challenges

Kimberly Newnam came back for more!

In May 2010, I contacted Innovative Results through an advertisement on a wedding planning website. My plan was to get in shape for my upcoming wedding. What ended up happening was one month in I felt like I was in the best shape of my life! I was definitely nervous to begin the training, but by a stroke of luck, I was paired up with Jeff DeRitter who completely made me feel at ease and made the training fun. Honestly – I actually almost threw up the first couple of times! But it got easier as time went on and I was motivated to continue post wedding for the rest of my 6 month contract. The comments from friends and strangers on the transformation of my body didn’t hurt either!

I had continued working out on my own since I left IR, but it just didn’t feel the same.

Fast forward to a month ago.  I contacted Jeff and begged him to fit me into his schedule. I even agreed to come in for morning workouts. Which as Jeff will tell you I am NOT a morning person! This time around it is easier to be motivated because I have seen the results and I want it back!

 
A couple of sessions in to my return to the gym, I was asked to join the Transformation Challenge. What a way to jump back in!!!! It has been a great re-introduction to the IR team and it is nice to see all the changes that have happened over the past year in the gym. I hope that in the months to follow I can change as much as the gym itself has. The Transformation Challenge has definitely kick-started that change and I look forward to continuing it!”

The Team Transformation Challenge helped Kim decrease her body fat by 3% in the first month!  IR is thrilled to continue seeing Kim achieve each of her goals!

Antonio Johns Got the IR Mind and Body Make-Over, Drops 5.5lbs!

Antonio Johns lost 5.5lbs, and 4% Body Fat in 1 Month.

Here is Tony’s Story:

I found out about Innovative by mysteriously following the warrior training page on Facebook.  To be completely honest, I don’t know how that happened.  However, it is the greatest that could have happened.  I took advantage of a deal and Aaron was very encouraging about having me start up.  I hadn’t worked out for a year prior to me signing up, but I wanted to regain a useful, functional, fit body.
The first day, I thought I was going to die.  I wanted to quit half way through, I was fighting vomit from coming up and my lungs wanted to leave my body!  Aaron made sure I kept pushing though, and with his positively and completely amazing knowledge of how the body works, I got through just fine.

Its been a little over a month now and I’ve seen significant improvements!! Not just with my physique, but my mental attitude, energy levels throughout the day and overall health.  Within the one month, my stamina, strength and speed have all improved.  I even get to put my name up on the wall for the 300 feet in one minute Versaclimber achievement!!  I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I couldn’t think of a better staff to stick with!  With everyone’s friendly, positive attitudes and complete knowledge of body science, Innovative Results is hands down the best place for anyone to be!

Innovative Results’ Ken Hayes Dropped 15lbs in 25 Days

Business owner, husband, father, and workout machine…

Talk about a motivator!

Ken has been really dialing in on his personal nutrition, and staying consistent in his workouts at the IR Facility and out on his own.

“The nutrition plan and daily inspirational emails were  monumental in my success; I loved the process so much I’m not stopping!! It’s not just a contest (February’s Team Transformation Challenge) it’s a lifestyle.”

Ken lost 11 total body inches, scaled 294ft in 1 minute on the versaclimber and improved his overall health in less than 1 month.

Karen Dahl is Down 10lbs and 4 Dress Sizes in 29 Days

Karen Dahl – 29 DAYS TO SUCCESS!!!

 
Snapshot of Karen’s transformation:
Lost 10 lbs. in one month
Dropped from size 12 to 8
Totally energized
Joined a 12-mile hike with an advanced team of athletes

Karen joined Innovative Results in February 2012 and is reaping the benefits!

Here is Karen’s Story:

 
Who says age is not a factor? It was for me.  I had already decided to join Weight Watchers to lose weight because my previous workout plan alone wasn’t giving me results. I used to cycle twice a week and jog once or twice a week around 2 to 4 miles, feeling completely exhausted. Cardio used to keep me in shape and I could eat – in moderation – pretty much anything I wanted.  About a year ago, I started piling up the pounds although my diet remained the same and my workout also pretty much the same.  Six months later, I worked out even less because I was discouraged and lost energy. I went from a size 4 to a size 10, sometimes 12, in one year. I went to the doctor believing I had hormonal problems, but my doctor said the usual: “You’re just getting older.” It’s true, my mom may have not looked like me at my age but I was still feeling the weight of my forties. I could not figure out what the problem was since I was doing everything right!

My biggest accomplishment at Innovative Results in the last 29 days is the energy surge I get from the short but intense workouts, the loss of weight from 160 pounds to 150 pounds in just one month without going through IR’s detox plan, the relaxing nights of deep sleep, the waking up to a trimmer and leaner physique, fitting into a size 8, and the best part was that I was able to join and keep up with an advanced team of athletes on a 12-mile hike on Pacifico Mountain – when it was my first time hiking, EVER! It’s been a life changing experience. I am in the same physical condition as a marathon runner, a regular kick-boxer and a yoga instructor, who hike on a regular basis. I feel much stronger, happier, more balanced and I am having fun while working out without having to kill myself with cardio. Amazingly, it was all done in one month! I am also venturing out and trying new things because I feel capable of taking on the challenge. Age has been a factor on my body and I now realize that I did need innovative techniques for better results! I have decided to continue my workouts and can’t wait until I reach my goals!  Thank you, Aaron, and the IR team!

Thank YOU Karen!!

Two Years and Counting, Vishal continues to see FITNESS RESULTS

Vishal Gandhi has been with Innovative Results for over 2 years.  He has experienced the IR Facility from it’s empty warehouse to the fully-loaded adult playground it is today.

When starting with Innovative Results Vishal weighed 228.  As of February 2012, Vishal is down an incredible 17lbs weighing in at 211 pounds.

Here is what Vishal had to say about Innovative Results:

“When you write a testimony for a product service there’s a tough part of showing your true appreciation, while also ensuring that others believe you in what you say.  With Innovative Results, especially Jeff DeRitter (Vishal’s trainer), the amount of gratitude I have within isn’t simple put into words.  I have been with Innovative Results for over 2 years and I can without doubt say that is has by far been one of the greatest investments I have ever made.  I always say, the best test for determining if someone is genuine in what they mean is asking them if they would get on the 6 o’clock news and express it to those watching; and that is how confident I am in the results of Innovative Results.”

“Throughout the years I have attempted to achieve various goals, and with the guidance of Jeff, almost each has been achieved or will be achieved in the days to come.

“The encouragement (of Jeff) is invaluable.  The atmosphere is not of “you should do it to be better that others” but of “you CAN do it and everyone here will help get you there”.  The positive attributes of Jeff, and Innovative Results, is an endless list; but I will have to leave it at that.”

“All I can say is a simple THANK YOU! to Innovative Results and an extra THANK YOU! to Jeff DeRitter to getting be where I am today, and helping me get to the goals ahead.”

Congratulations Vishal, and THANK YOU for YOUR hard work and dedication to YOURSELF and IR!!

Effective Workouts Help Collene Drop 2.2% Body Fat in 1 Month

                                                  Collene Toavs

Lost 2.2% Body Fat, and 4.8 Total inches in 1 month!

“I have so much energy everyday and I feel so good about myself!”

Collene Toavs has always been an amateur athlete. She grew up swimming, biking, and trying hard to be a runner. In her mid-20s, she started doing Sprint Triathlons.
The Innovative Results Team and Collene crossed paths at the Long Beach Triathlon in September 2010 expo sporting the IR Battling Ropes and Tractor Tires.

“I was feeling really strong that day, but I’ll never forget how I felt when I picked up that battling rope. It was so heavy!”

Collene later attended a free educational running clinic at the Innovative Results Facility and after months of researching training programs online Collene gave the IR Team a call.

 
After her first session Collene has been fanatical about Innovative Results.  The IR Training team has ‘given the best, most effective workouts, and guided her to a nutrition plan to eat better and help her muscles recover quicker.’

Collene has been part of the Innovative Results family since April 2011, and continues to compete in races.

“I could have never done it without training at Innovative Results. The intensity, strength, and core exercises that I do there improved every aspect of my body and prepared me for performance.  The last year has been life changing for me. The Innovative Results team does amazing work!”

Congratulations Collene!

Jeff Costa Dropped 7lbs and isn’t Stopping There!

 Congratulations and a HUGE Thank You Jeff!

Charlton Billow leads his team (The Mad Martigans) to the #1 position in our Team Transformation Challenge last month!

That's Charlton on the left!

For those of you who weren’t involved, this was a fun, short, team transformation challenge that we hosted at Innovative Results last month. It basically consisted of a variety of aesthetic measurements and physical challenges. Teams gathered points by making the most progress over the 30 day period. Charlton rocked it by winning a physical challenge and the weight loss categories!

He lost 16.8lbs and improved his Heavy Rope Tsunami time by over 1 minute…BOOM!

Here’s what Charlton and the rest of the team had to say about the experience:

When you find a place to train that makes going to 90% of other gyms feel like a long boring night watching the notebook all alone, you know you got a good spot

When you find a place to train that makes going to 90% of other gyms feel like a long boring night watching the notebook all alone, you know you got a good spot.  I want to try and help you understand why I love training at Innovative Results.

Their training styles have a deep seated functional base that transfers over into every aspect of performance whether it be sports, work, or parenting.  You may start here to lose weight, but you will leave feeling and functioning better.

The owners consistently cross train with the most elite coaches of all areas of strength and health disciplines.  There are no machines but literally millions of different exercises you can do and it always changes.  The staff rocks and so do the clients, great place to train.

aka…”The strongest surf bum in history”

39 years old restaurant owner is back surfin and competing on the basketball court

I started training with Corey at IR about a year ago. I’m 39 years and have always been in pretty good shape. I’m also an avid surfer, basketball player and business owner.  I’ve really felt my basketball game and surfing abilities have diminish over the last few years. I thought it was just because I was getting old. But since I started training it feels as if I’ve rolled back the clock. Corey explained to me that getting older isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of activity and training as you get older that is the real issue. Corey’s training philosophy focuses on flexibility, movement, and strength. He has the unique ability to figure out what the problem areas are are design specific workouts to work on those areas.

Since I’ve started training my strength and conditioning has increased dramatically which means I now catch a lot more waves and play basketball at a much higher level. My basketball teammates have noticed and have asked me what I’ve been doing because they noticed the physical and mental improvement in my game. Actually a few of them have since joined IR and are now training with me. Also recently I was selected the player of the week in the basketball league. A feat that I haven’t accomplished in about a decade.

All I can say is that training at IR and Corey has not only made me stronger and more fit but I am now my mental discipline and mental toughness has improved dramatically.
