Laura Holmes:"I never thought I could take my fitness level to this extent. I feel great!"
"Growing up I was always in pretty good shape. I was a cheerleader in high school and even joined the US Air Force. I met my husband and we got married, had a house and two small kids. I was still in pretty good shape. But once I hit the big '3-0' the weight started to pile on. I soared to over 220 pounds and figured this was the way my life was going to be - fat. But one day that all changed. I decided enough was enough and took it upon myself to do something about it. I joined a club and went to town to drop 75 pounds. It all came off in about nine months. I was thrilled. However, after a while I found the weight creeping back on. We moved from Michigan to Wisconsin, and I found a new health club. I started working there teaching aerobics, but I still had a hard time keeping the weight off. Then one day my boss came to me and said, 'You and I are going to get certified in this Apex Program I keep hearing about.'

"I said,'OK', and my life has never been the same!

"Apex did for me what no other program has ever done. It asked what were my specific goals, what foods I liked to eat, what my lifestyle was, and what I wanted to achieve. It gave me very specific answers to my needs. Apex took the guess work out of my food intake, my workouts and my supplements. My time was spent more efficiently and I was never really hungry. Now I have a new lifestyle that will be with me forever, and a lifestyle I'm happy to share. As a certified Fit Pro I can honestly say to clients, 'I know how you feel. I did it and so can you.' I am very proud to be able to offer the Apex program to everyone I know who is looking to make a healthy change.

"After turning 40 last year I entered two fitness competitions and I am now in training for my third. I never thought I could take my fitness level to this extent. I feel great! I'm a life-long Apex believer."
