Hear It For Yourself.

  • "I wanted to create a goal that had nothing to do with the way I looked or my weight because I knew I need a long term, life change."

 I was introduced to Yimin a year ago, my daughter had been training at Hulk Performance preparing for the return of her basketball season.  She suggested I join a bootcamp class and I was certain that I was not ready for a workout of that caliber.  I am a former athlete but had not worked out consistently for decades.  My physical and mental health were in a bad place, and I was worried I was going to have a nervous breakdown or be diagnosed with a terrible health condition.  So, I went to the bootcamp, and I survived plus felt pretty good after.  Mostly because I didn’t die in the workout and was impressed that I was able to keep up with the exercises.  That day, I told Yimin I would commit myself to 100 workouts with him.  I wanted to create a goal that had nothing to do with the way I looked or my weight because I knew I need a long term, life change.  I was just going to get to 100 workouts and figure it out from there.  I started going three days a week.  It was not easy digging myself out of a deep whole of unhealthy habits, every part of my body was sore, and I thought my knees were going to give out.  But I kept showing up, and not because I truly wanted to, but because Yimin kept showing up for me.  He was there to motivate me, challenge me, support me, and keep me focused on reaching my goal.  I became part of the Hulk Performance community he has created which feels like family.  I began making new friends at the gym who had similar health goals and we motivate each other.  I actually look forward to going to the gym because I would see a group of people that I would enjoy while working out.  My mental health started to vastly improve and started to build confidence in myself and around my health.  I counted down those 100 workouts and met that goal, and Yimin helped me set a new goal.  Without faulter, he makes sure I will accomplish it, and he consistently shows up to help me get it done.  In my year of training at Hulk Performance, I have lost 50 pounds, down 2 sizes in my clothes, made great strides in healing myself, became part of a wonderful community. I now feel stronger and can better move my body physically which motivates me to work harder.  There are no words that can express my gratitude for Yimin and how I feel regarding him giving me my health and wellness back.  He really did that, because he kept showing up for me, and I knew I had to show up for myself.  I am beyond grateful for you Yi and I appreciate all the things you do for your community to promote health and wellness!
