When Life Gave Her Lemons...
Meet Brittany Denhalter. She started Kickboxing at iLoveKickboxing-Sandy in January 2015. Like many people at New Year’s she had some serious goals to make 2015 the best year ever. One thing that really set Brittany above the average New Year’s resolution-maker though is that she had the drive, determination, and dedication to get the job done! This is her amazing story…
Brittany used to dance and play softball when she was younger, but for a couple of years she felt out-of-shape and unsatisfied. She began to be concerned about her weight gain and overall health. She wanted to be stronger and build muscle again. She tried the HCG diet, and she lost weight, but it was not sustainable and she did not feel good because she still was not healthy or strong.
One of Brittany’s friends started Kickboxing classes and after only a couple weeks Brittany noticed a difference in her friend. She decided it would be a great idea to try it out for herself and she knew it was a perfect fit right away. She had missed the structure and instruction that she had had as a dancer – and she loved the friendly environment that the instructors and other students provided.
Brittany could not have started Kickboxing at a better time. Life threw her a lemon when she discovered that she was allergic to her chosen profession. She loved being a hair dresser, but the hair products had a horrible reaction with her skin. As she discovered that she had to change her plans and went back to school to become an occupational therapy practitioner, she found that Kickboxing provided much-needed stress relief and a positive outlet for her frustration.
Even with her busy school and work schedule Brittany made time to come to at least one Kickboxing class each week. She said, “If I had gone to the gym once a week I would never have gotten the same results I did from coming to Kickboxing. I love this place!” After she graduates from her occupational therapy program in May she looks forward to attending even more classes.
Brittany says about kickboxing, “It has given me so much more confidence! I feel better now than I ever did when I was at my lowest weight because now I am healthy and strong. I love getting compliments from friends and family about how much more definition I have now.”
Here are just some of the amazing things that Brittany has accomplished in the last 11 months!
· Lost 6 ½ inches in her waistline
· Gained muscle definition and strength in her arms
· Gets compliments from friends all the time about how toned she is now
· Feels great about herself and is flowing over with confidence
· Feels healthier and stronger than she ever did on diets alone
· Found a great new hobby that she loves
· Found much-needed stress relief as she completed a rigorous school program
