Jamie Nixon has lost 43 pounds in 60 days.

His story began on May 24 with a celebration of his 50th birthday. Like most birthdays, Jamie assumed he’d enjoy celebrating making another trip around the sun. However, this year’s milestone was not met with the same excitement and happiness. 

“This one hit different,” said Jamie.

The disappointment Jamie experienced that day was because he knew he wanted to make a change in himself. Overtime he had lost sight of eating healthy and exercising and was not happy with his appearance or his attitude as a result. “I used to be the person who said, ‘I don't have time for this,’ and I did have time. I just wasn't motivated, I wasn't committed, and I wasn't disciplined,” said Jamie.

Jamie, being a lifelong basketball player, had previously avoided the treadmill and bike–cardio staples of the gym–in favor of shooting hoops or playing pick up games. A torn meniscus forced him to reevaluate his fitness goals. “I remember the orthopedic surgeon telling me, ‘If you ever want to play basketball again, you're going to have to lose some weight,’’ said Jamie. 

Motivated by that, Jamie upped his workouts to include six days of cardio per week. “Basically, I fell in love with the bike here at Fitness 1440,” he remarked.

In just over two months, Jamie has lost a total of 43 pounds and is continuing to gain lean muscle mass. “I’ve been feeling incredibly different overall, stronger than I've ever felt. This is definitely the best I’ve ever felt in my adult life,” said Jamie.

The addition of Fitness 1440’s infrared sauna, cold water tub, and compression therapies soon proved to have benefits beyond Jamie’s expectations. “I was in the hospital with Covid a few years ago, and still have Covid brain fog,” explained Jamie. “Putting the weight training, the diet, and the recovery elements together, I feel like it’s helping with my mental clarity, in addition to the weight loss.”

Jamie attributes his fitness overhaul to the staff at Fitness 1440. “John and the staff here have a relationship with everyone who comes in. They really want to help people obtain their goals, and I’m so thankful for that,” he commented.

In such a short time, Jamie has transformed himself physically, mentally, and emotionally thanks to Fitness 1440 and the friendly staff there. “I tell people all the time I have fallen in love with the gym–with Fitness 1440. Having that discipline has translated into my work life, into my family life, and I'm just so much better for it. It's not a fad. It's not some new diet or something that can't be sustained. If I could say something to everyone out there, it would be, ‘Come in. Take a chance.’”

Imagine how great you can look and feel in just a few short weeks if you make the decision to prioritize your health today.
