Sue Says:

"14 months ago, I could barely walk a mile. Now, I can run two miles with no break. Crushing goals!! Truth is, I couldn't do it without having the massive support system behind me. Jenn at Enliven Fitness believes in me and pushes me beyond where I think I can go. My family supports me as I go on a run and cheers me on. Friends cheer for me as I share with them the goals I'm crushing and encourage me when I feel like I'm failing. This isn't about weight loss or "looking good." It's about getting healthy and learning how to maintain that health.

Never think you're too far gone to get healthy. I was morbidly obese and barely had any energy.

I'm not healthy yet, but I'm healthier. This is all thanks to the support and education from Jenn!!"
