Q&A with Stephanie Ford, recent FitQuest graduate:

Stephanie Ford lost 30 pounds by participating in the FitQuest program!

Q: Why did you choose FitQuest?

A: I found when I was working out I was not getting the benefits

     of the workout.

Q: What was your first FitQuest appointment like?

A: Jessi put me at ease, she explained everything clearly and

    expected my commitment to the program.

Q: What did you find difficult?

A: I looked forward to the workout. I missed a couple of weeks

    due to family -- the most difficult part was getting restarted.

Q: What advice would you give to new FitQuest participants?

A: Continue after your 12 weeks!
