When I started working out with Ancil, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I had worked out with other trainers and taken other classes, but Ancil truly changed my life. Not only did he push me to achieve higher and higher levels of fitness achievement, he really gave me the confidence to want to push myself.  

For example, when we began, he mentioned running and I told him that I didn't do that.  He sort of laughed.  One day, he put me on the treadmill and made me run.  I didn't know how to, so he taught me.  Over time, he increased both speed and distance.  I can now run laps, run up hills, and run at significantly higher speed on the treadmill.  My heart rate used to race up into the 170s - now, I have to really work to get it up over 160.  And it comes down very fast.  

Ancil's approach has allowed me to make fitness a major part of my life.  As I approach my 50th birthday, I can say without hesitation that I am in better shape now than I was when I was much younger. My entire family is in total shock - I generally avoided strenuous exercise. As I said, this has truly changed my life.
