While I have never considered, and still do not consider, myself athletic, I am by far the healthiest--physically, mentally, and emotionally--I have ever been. I owe this state of being to JCF Health and Fitness. My ever-fluctuating life circumstances have kept me an on-again/off-again member over the years (I'm now on again), but because of my time with JCF, I have: quit smoking, reduced my drinking, run several races (including two half marathons), improved my diet, and improved my sleep. I now believe that my body can do more than what my mind thinks it can do. More importantly, I have the type of self confidence I always lacked as a shy and anxious kid in gym class. I have come so far that during a momentary lapse of sanity, I signed up for the upcoming City Challenge race--a 5K course with obstacles. This is the kind of thing I would have NEVER thought I'd ever do in my life, but do it I will. And though I know I will not complete the course with the grace and athleticism of an Olympian, at least I know I'll complete the course with the support, camaraderie, and sisterhood/brotherhood of my JCF Fit Crew.

Joining JCF has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I am grateful for the concern, knowledge, and faith of the talented coaches (all of who know our names, strengths, and areas for improvement), the always varied and challenging (but fun!) sessions, and the enthusiasm and high-fiving support of my fellow campers.

I recommend JCF to anyone looking for something beyond a room with weights and machines--JCF offers a lifestyle and a mindset that builds one's confidence, esteem, and overall body health. Who wouldn't want that?
