"When I first learned about the Global-Fitness.com online fitness program I thought, 'That's great, but it's not really something for me.' I have always been thin and never struggled with weight loss; instead, the biggest struggle I have had is keeping the weight on! Even though I have always been thin and very active in sports, I have never been completely confident with my appearance. I knew if I really ate a lot, I could probably gain a little weight, but I was not interested in doing so if it just meant I would increase my body fat and not necessarily improve my physical appearance.

After much thought, I contacted Chad at Global-Fitness.com and asked him if he could help me gain weight (muscle) while decreasing my body fat percentage. I received an immediate response and decide to join. Chad set me up on a 'bodybuilding' program, and encouraged me to consult with their 'Nutritional Supplement Expert' for supplement recommendations - products that were right for me.

Being six feet tall and weighing only 156 pounds, I desperately wanted to increase my weight without adding unnecessary body fat. I have always been physically active and lifted weights occasionally, but I have never followed a weight lifting program, personalized nutrition plan, or taken any nutritional supplements. I knew that it would be difficult to increase my body weight while eating healthy, low-fat foods and exercising regularly, but I had complete faith in the recommendations from Chad and the rest of their experts.

The program that Chad set up for me was a four-day per week bodybuilding program in addition to regular cardiovascular workouts, as well as nutritional recommendations that were specifically for me and my goals.

Anytime I needed advice or just encouragement, Chad and his experts responded quickly and were always there to support me in my endeavor.

After just a few weeks, I started to notice an increase in my strength and I also noticed improvements in my basketball game - an unexpected, but welcome benefit from my new fitness routine. By six weeks into my program, I was already noticing significant changes. I had gained four pounds of muscle and not only was I feeling much stronger, I looked a lot more toned and muscular, and my energy level had increased dramatically. This was just the kind of motivation that I needed to keep me excited about my program. Chad's continuing advice, nutritional recommendations and the Monday motivation's were very beneficial throughout my program.

When I received my twelve-week photos I was shocked; I couldn't believe that was actually a picture of me! Upon starting, I weighed 156 pounds and my body fat percentage was 11.5%. During the course of the twelve weeks, I was able to increase my lean muscle weight by more than 15 pounds and decrease my body fat by 3%! I now weigh 166 pounds and my body fat percentage is 8%!

Chad and the Global-Fitness.com experts have helped me transform my body into the strong and muscular body that I truly never thought I could have! I have improved my overall health, my appearance, and I feel great about my achievements; my confidence level is at an all-time high and I have never felt better! Global-Fitness.com helped me make a life-change! I owe this to Chad and his expertise and all the personal guidance I received from his team. I strongly recommend their online fitness program to everyone!"

"A few years ago I had asked you some questions regarding increasing my vertical jumping ability. You had given me a lot of helpful information explaining the jumping was more than just increasing leg strength, but rather I should focus on the whole body.

It has now been almost one year since I started really using your programs with dedication. In the last few months I have noticed a dramatic increase in my vertical jumping ability, which I attribute directly to the workout regimen that you have outlined for me. I have seen my vertical jump increase by just short of 3" in the last few months!

I just wanted to say thanks once again and to let you know (even though I know that you are well aware of it) that the programs that you have designed and spent the last four or five years devoting your life to have provided, and will continue to provide, life changes for any individual willing to dedicate themselves to your recommendations and guidance. I am amazed at the continued improvements that I see in my strength, size and tone.

I have said it before and I will continue to say it, I feel sorry for those people who have yet to discover Global Fitness. If only they knew that there is a program out there that will work, it will help them make the improvements in their life that they so desperately want to achieve and it will be a life change and not a temporary fix like so many of the other "gimmicks" out there (one that comes to mind for some reason is the 'Hollywood Diet' or maybe its the 'Atkins Diet' or is it 'Sugar Busters'). Thanks again so very much!"
