Another CTF “Success Story”

“Going Calorie deficient is the best”

“This year has been about well-being + transformation for me. Shedding some depression. Shedding some bad habits. Shedding two years of sedentary + gluttonous living that added 20lbs+ to my frame. Inspired in June by the incredible results of @bridgemoyer, and with the guidance of my trainers @pellozach + @claireflaming at @carmeltotalfitness, I entered a calorie-deficit lifestyle. For three months, I documented everything that enters my body, I’ve weighed in every morning, I’ve photographed every day, from the horrific + humiliating beginning, through today. I’ve worked out, I’ve walked miles a day, I’ve increased protein, I’ve added creatine. I’ve shed that Covid weight – slowly + systematically – completely reshaping my relationship with food, such that new habits have been formed. I still enjoy my favorite restaurants + foodie lifestyle, but in tremendous moderation now.”

CTF Nutrition tracking and personal training connect for a “Sister Success Story.”

Incredible story of strength, inspiration and overcoming adversity from one of our own CTF Members. Her ownership and perseverance in and outside of the gym, along with guidance from friends and “family” ❤️ who are also CTF Personal Trainers, led her to triumph over weight loss. Her personal journey is remarkable. Watch CTF Personal Trainer’s Claire Moyer, Zach Pello and news anchor Anne Marie Tiernon @annemarieteirnon from WTHR-TV speak with Bridget and talk about nutrition, tracking and “sticking to it.” You can see more of this segment on WTHR Ch13, online WTHR.com and Facebook

CTF Members give us their take on the necessity to keep active and healthy, while remaining safe at the gym.

“I love it here, doesn’t matter if I have an hour or if I have just a few minutes, the gym is the best and I can always get my workouts done. As a clinical nurse, it has been so awesome to have a stable gym to come to. It is so important for managing my stress and I don’t worry about the exposure here. I love training with Monica, she keeps me going and plans the workouts so I don’t have too.”
