Tommy Day
As a lifelong athlete (NCAA football, track and field, gymnastics) and as a trainer since 1991 (SFPA certified), I have had the opportunity to experience many different training techniques. For best results, my standard workout usually hovered around two to three hours (weights, cardio, stretch, shower), four times a week. If I did any less I felt I would be short-changing myself. Boy, was I wrong. I get the same results doing SlowBurn™ as I did before, and I don't have to organize my life around my workout! I love what SlowBurn™ does for my body and I love seeing what it does for our clients.

Ariel Davies
Ariel has always lived an active and healthy lifestyle and has been an ACE certified personal trainer for the past couple of years. He's been fortunate enough to discover The SlowBurn method and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Now, he works out to complete fatigue in just a matter of minutes instead of spending hours in the gym 6 days a week like he used to. This leaves him with more time to do the things he loves like swimming, yoga, and hiking.
