Wonderful Wife and One Hard Working Lady!

Training as a Hobby Over four years ago, I was lucky enough to find my way into the Vancouver Studio of Northwest Personal Training. Little did I know, it would become my home away from home. What started out as a half hour a week ordeal is now an 8 hour a week passion. The amazing increase in the quality of my life and the high level of activity that I now enjoy is absolutely the result of Derrick deLay! I am continually inspired by Derrick’s sense of humor, his incredible knowledge, his energy and his lifestyle. I come away from every session wanting to eat better, be better, and work out more. My blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is down, my heart rate is down, and my weight is down. My weight is the lowest it’s been in 40 years. The only thing that is up is my age! But at this age, I feel better and am capable of doing more than I was at 20! I work out hard; I run, I swim and I bike. I have participated in triathlons, training, and running events and am training for my first half marathon in San Francisco this July. Derrick has influenced my entire family and thanks to the results they have seen in me – they have all found personal trainers and have increased their physical activity. The ripple effect is truly unbelievable! Not only are they exercising more, but also most have switched to type of vegan diet…. We run the full range: vegan, virtually vegan, vegan-ish and vegan till dinner. In addition, the club activities and events (all of which are great fun) have allowed me to expose the club and the trainers to my friends. I am not sure I have ever had a relationship with a person or an organization that has been so productive! I look forward to many, many more years with Derrick and the supportive team at Northwest Personal Training. Training is a wonderful hobby and a great sport. My many, many thanks for all the training, the information, the encouragement and the fun!
