Ty Stober & Lamar Bryant

"We saw that we had the ability to control our health and fitness. Over the past eight years we have really enjoyed being part of the NWPT family. Not just in the gym, but in all the activities - races, triathlons, hikes, snow shoeing, parties."

"Over the past eight years we have really enjoyed being part of the NWPT family."

In 2005 when we moved to Vancouver, we knew we needed to get serious about our health. Both of us where at our heaviest weights ever, still trying to convince ourselves that we could fit into clothes from our younger days. It wasn’t pretty! Our apartment complex had an arrangement with NWPT. While nervous we would face discrimination as a couple, we decided to give it a try. Our fears were totally unfounded as we were quickly welcomed into the family. Ted became our man. Ted listened to us whine and moan about being too fat and finally had enough. He used his powers of coercion to get us to join his 6 Week Challenge Team (which Rob always cheats to win). Six weeks later our lives had truly been transformed. We saw that we had the ability to control our health and fitness. Over the past eight years we have really enjoyed being part of the NWPT family. Not just in the gym, but in all the activities – races, triathlons, hikes, snow shoeing, parties. When it became legal for us to get married, Ted’s eldest daughter announced that she was going to be our flower girl. How can you argue with that? Ted had us join his 6 week challenge team again to get us ready for the event. It was very special to have Ted, Emily and the girls be part of our very special day.
