Heather Long, Member

I am now a firm believer in having a gym family.

Hello!

I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude for Chuze Fitness in Mission Valley. I’ve been a member for a couple of years but last July I decided I needed to make my health a priority.

I was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I was pretty sedentary. I was depressed and feeling very overweight and out of shape.

After a few months of going to Chuze every day I started to feel so much better. I was sleeping better, I was eating better, my depression was lifting and my anxiety had subsided. I decided that I would quit smoking and it was extremely hard but going to Chuze every day helped me so much. 

One day, I told Emily that I had quit smoking she asked me what day I was on and I told her I was on day two. After that, every day that I came in, she would ask me what day I was on. Eventually, the rest of the staff would ask me ,”what day are you on Miss Heather?” It kept me so focused and made me not want to give up.

I am now smoke-free for over eight months. I am able to do a half-hour on the stair-stepper at a higher level than I ever imagined possible. I’ve gone through a lot of changes since I started dedicating myself to fitness. I just completed a 200 hour yoga training and I feel like the support of the staff at Chuze really helped me through it.

I am now a firm believer in having a gym family. Vinny, Joy, Scott, Emily, Bri, Uli and Luis have all done so much, through their encouragement, to help me achieve my fitness goals. I’m so grateful for the staff at Chuze Fitness. They help me to stay motivated, encourage me through hard times and always have a smile for me when I walk in. I have seen them treat members with such kindness and compassion. I have never seen such a consistently kind and caring staff. 

Thank you for all you do, it does not go unnoticed.

Sincerely,
Heather Long
