Lubbock FuSion Fitness: Turbo Testimonial-- Magen Reaves

Hey FuSion Family!
I wanted to take a moment do a testimonial of my own and just tell you a little bit of my story :) I had my second child (Blain) this past June, I had gained almost 30-35lbs during my pregnancy. I am 5'2 and before my pregnancy weighed around 110, after Blain was delivered I was sitting around 130lbs. I was not comfortable with this weight gain! About 2 months after having Blain a friend of mine had posted on Facebook she was going to a Zumba class at Fusion Fitness. I had never heard of Zumba, had no idea what group classes were or that they even existed, and didn't know a thing about Fusion! We messaged back and fourth about what the class and studio were about and I was so interested I had to check it out. I went to my first Zumba class and fell in love, I wasn't the best at Zumba but, the people and the energy had me sold. This was a place I needed to be and I got better at Zumba the more classes I went to. I continued going and fell in love with the Hip Hop & Kiss my Abs! I did classes from August-September then Shelli had informed me there would be a Hip Hop Hustle & Turbo Kick Certification at Fusion come the end of September! I was one of the first to sign up! The only reason I wanted to get certified was to teach Hip Hop, I had never seen or heard of Turbo but, if you did both you get a great deal so, I thought what the heck?! I was certified in both and thought Hip Hop had my heart. I tried teaching a few classes and enjoyed it but, felt it was something I was better at participating in rather than trying to teach others. I began going to Nancys TK classes and started seeing HUGE changes in my body and just the way I felt. This was IT, I had found my calling!!! I went to Nancys classes for a whole month then begged Shelli to let me have a shot at it and thank goodness she hadn't lost all hope in me LOL. Since November I have been teaching Turbo, I now weigh less than I did before my pregnancy and my body is changing EVERY SINGLE DAY! I am healthy! I am so passionate about TK, I have seen what it can do and am fortunate enough to be proof that it DOES WORK!! When I first started teaching I would pray that maybe just one person would give me a chance to show them that it can do work, and now almost 6 months later I am praying at least 10 people a day let me show them what TK can do!!

If you haven't tried Turbo or maybe have been on the fence about it I beg you give it a chance. There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are moving you are burning calories! The only thing we ask is that you HAVE FUN!!!!! We teach the same Round from 6-8weeks so the class has time to catch on and feel confident! We switch it up to keep your body from reaching a plateau. We now have THREE TK Instructors...Shelli, Carol, & myself. We all are firm believers and can't wait to have you in class!

We would love to hear your testimonials, not just on Turbo but everything!! Has Fusion changed your life, Are you just obsessed with Zumba, any and everything is welcome???!!! We are always looking for inspiring, motivating, and successful stories!!!

I took self portraits of myself right before starting TK back in September and recently took some updated ones for our BIKINI BOOT CAMP!!!! I still have work to do but, you can see that my body is making changes. :) Will be doing updated photos in 6 weeks for completion of my first Bikini Boot Camp!!! Hope to see you soon!
