I joined last year through the Life! program.
The program, and Facilitators leadership of our group, was a terrific experience. The wonderful community that is created was the key to supporting healthy lifestyle changes.
I greatly appreciate the support and admire the energy and continued motivation of all the participants.
The program is great but the Facilitators and the whole team are the real assets!

I can’t believe the changes I have implemented as a result of this program.
Since starting the Life ! program I have been doing things I’ve never done before or if I did it was a long time ago!
I love the fact that not only everyone in my group, but the whole Community is there to help out at any time, even when I’m struggling to breathe due to the intensity of the exercise, which I am now loving!!
So thankful to the Facilitator and the whole team for suggesting this life changing program to me… 2020 is about ME!
