A Quote from a Coach:
“ Don is proof that dedication and consistency pays off!”
“ Don is proof that dedication and consistency pays off!”
Don Slade is a 55 year old professional waiter. Don has worked at Daniella’s Steakhouse for serval years and really enjoys his job! Don is a single man who has five- four legged canine roommates. All of Don’s roommate’s have been rescued and are now loved very much! If Don could have any super power it would be to possess the ability to heal. As he said “What a gift it would be to help those who are suffering, be human or animal. If you can think about it, each of our trainers here at Pine Grove have that super power; each class they give us their knowledge to heal and care for ourselves, what more could we ask for?”
Don joined the Warrior and Total Reset Program in January 2016. He was looking for a program to get him moving again, lose extra weight he had gained and to get him back in shape. Since joining the program Don has lost over 40lbs and his strength and endurance has dramatically improved.

Don feels his philosophy of exercise has really changed since joining Total Reset. He now knows that exercising is a necessity – he lived without it for several years and paid the price with pain and limited mobility.
When Don was asked what he enjoyed most about the Total Reset and Warrior program he said “ The comradely of my fellow participants in the classes. We are all on the same journey and everyone is there to support you. I also truly enjoy each of the trainer’s different and encouraging styles – each motivate and prompt in different ways. The combination of trainers and tribe members really make you want to try your best in each class.”

Don’s advice for someone thinking about joining the program is pretty simple. He says “ If I can do this – YOU CAN TOO. The coaches at Pine Grove give you all the tools you need to succeed. I remember looking down, through those big glass windows into the workout area of the gym my first time there, thinking “Oh my – I could never do what they are doing.” Well guess what? I do now and you will too. Courage is contagious.”
At the end of the interview Don wanted to add “Until January 2016 I was overweight and under-happy. The Total Reset Program saved my life. I know that sounds trite, but I compare my life to my dad’s, who at my age I am now, was totally disabled and with only a few short years to live. That in itself was motivating enough to get moving. Finding the program has set me in the positive direction of good habits and good health. It was really a godsend.”
