I’m so glad I was a part of Barbara Dalbeck Piccirillo health and fitness journey. It’s amazing to see her dedication and hard work come to light. This is what makes training so rewarding! I miss everyone at Wilcox!
Receiving emails from our clients about how our training program impacts their lives is truly the greatest gift. Today, I received a heartwarming email from Barbara, a dedicated member of our community, sharing how her commitment to health and fitness has transformed her life. Just yesterday morning, I had the privilege of having her in my training session, and I was thrilled to see her progress and newfound confidence, especially after attending a seminar we hosted with our neighbors Chickadee Physical Therapy.
While preparing to share her story, I found a photo of Barbara and Coach Bree from July 2022 when she was recognized as our Athlete Spotlight. Today, Bree and Barbara took a new photo together. Although we witness Barbara’s progress every day in the gym, seeing a side-by-side comparison of her transformation over two years of consistency and commitment is truly inspiring.
Amazing work, Barbara!
We can tout our encouragement and praise all day long, but hearing directly from Barbara about how our training program and the support of our community have benefited her really tells the story.
Here's what Barbara shared:
"So I just want to thank you, Bree, Trevor (although he’s no longer at Wilcox), and the rest of the Wilcox family! It’s been a great month! Firstly, I’m eating healthier and am now down to my goal weight. Other gym members have commented that I look healthier, my posture has improved, and I’m able to do moves/exercises that I couldn’t initially do. After the osteoporosis talk, I started challenging myself with more jumping, something I had originally been told not to do after knee replacement surgery. Today, I got in 15 consecutive jumps!! My shoulder has improved to the point that I can push the range of motion, I’ve increased the weight I use in exercises, and I’m able to challenge my stability in various planks we’ve been doing lately! Thank you to gym members for the encouragement to push myself! My original goal for joining Wilcox was to be healthier overall and more active! I’ve made progress in both of these areas and plan to continue. Thank you so much! This is why I love coming to Wilcox!"
Thank you again, Barbara! Your words are the greatest gift and are so appreciated. We couldn't be more proud of your hard work and continued successes. Keep up the great work—you are an inspiration to me and to others in our community! 💪💜
