My Running Camps: "I never thought I would look forward to working out. When I first heard of the running camp I thought, "Running camp?....but I'm not a runner." I still think I'm not a runner, but I know I've improved. EZ8 and Fitness in the Park has me committed to things I thought I'd never commit to...working out early in the morning and on a Friday night. That's how much I like it and I see results in my body and my health. Plus working out with the other ladies lead by Lisa makes the workout so much easier...Thanks Lisa for the opportunity to workout in good company." Melanie, 06/09 "Since my mid 20’s I have had high blood pressure controlled with medication. I have exercised and been physically active but not enough to be successful in decreasing my blood pressure. After attending Lisa’s EZ8 Camp and Upper/Abs Class 2 days a week for just a month my blood pressure has decreased significantly. Lisa’s class is very motivating. The positive energy and encouragement Lisa gives is addictive. I look forward to going to class every week and hope to soon be medication free." Julie, 04/09 "Where to begin with the EZ8 Running experience? That's a hard one. I really didn't know what to expect when I decided to join. All I can say is in the last two months I went from absolutely hating running to actually enjoying it, kind of! I played competitive sports growing up, and running was always my least favorite thing to do because I was never "good" enough at it. I've learned it's not about how fast you finish, but the fact that you have finished. Not only that, but since joining, I've lost inches from the not-so-beloved back side, and I've hiked to the top of Squaw Peak. That may sound like a small accomplishment, but I never would have even attempted it before the camp. So, to Lisa and the girls...can't wait for the next round!" Amity, 03/09 "I’m not one to get up and go to the gym. I’ve never really enjoyed the gym, but I knew that I needed to increase my activity. And until I found Lisa and her EZ8 camp I thought the gym was my only option. I have had the most fun “Working Out.” My goal was to improve my running abilities, and I have improved, tremendously. I have also lost 8 pounds in 8 weeks, just by increasing my activity two nights a week, and NOT changing my eating habits. How’s that for motivation! If I can turn the television off and get up off the couch YOU CAN TOO!". Erika, 03/09 "I am amazed at how well the running camp has built up my endurance. After running twice a week for only 8 weeks, I have found that even after taking a couple weeks off, when I get back on the track, I can still run a mile without losing my breath! The camp has given me a lot more confidence in my ability to keep inshape!", Amy, 03/09 "Tonight was such a great workout...Sam even mentioned how much she liked it! We both felt really good. Just thought I'd pass that on! See you Thursday. Suzi" (email 02/09) Suzi is one of my "lifers" and her 13 year old daughter does camp with her once a week...way to have fun while exercising with your family! "Hi Lisa, I will be there. What a great accomplishment on Sunday! I know for a fact I would have never considered running a half marathon had it not been for you! I am so thankful for my friends I have made through EZ8. Eli and Duke are proud of themselves and everyone in the running camp and said they would have never run a half marathon if Briana and I were not in running camp. It was so fun! Have a great day!" Beth, 01/09 (via email) "A friend of mine sent me some information about Lisa’s EZ8 Running Camp and I knew immediately that I wanted to join….but I came up with about 10 excuses why I shouldn’t. I decided that excuses are what got me to the point in my life I was at – overweight and out of shape. I’d been working on eating healthy and working out a little and had lost some weight but I really needed something to kick the exercise portion into high gear. I’ve always wanted to be a runner but I had no idea where to start so I knew Lisa’s camp was my solution and I decided to sign up. I haven’t had a single regret! The women in the group are fabulous and have a positive energy that keeps you moving for the full hour. Lisa is always mixing things up with the drills so you never get bored and you are always challenged. I used to look at my body and only see flaws – now, when I’m running I look down and see how strong my legs are and what my body allows me to do if I take care of it. Since I’ve joined Lisa’s camp I’ve dropped pounds and inches – and that was over the Holidays!! I also found stamina I had no idea was there. I’m looking forward to continuing the camps, competing in my first 5K and seeing what other challenges I can overcome!! Chrissy, January 09 “I kept seeing the ads for Lisa’s camp in our HOA newspaper, but I found all kinds of excuses not to join: it’s too expensive, I’m too old, I won’t be able to keep up with the other runners. Then, I decided to give myself a 50th birthday gift and sign up! From the very first meeting I knew I would love this group. Lisa has a magic touch that makes working out fun, and the women in the group are not the scary super- athletes I was expecting, but women like me who have decided to get control of their bodies and their health while having a great time. I just finished my first camp and I feel SO good that I only wish I had joined this fantastic group sooner!” Ann, November 08, Realtor “Lisa Pozzoni is a must for any level of runner. With her expertise and passion for fitness, she motivates each of us to succeed our goals. The energy and enthusiasm she brings to each session creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and most important - fun! I look forward to each session. The workouts are challenging, creative, and fun with the emphasis on correct form. I have past my perceived limits with her help. I am glad I joined Lisa's Running Camp; it is not only about training, staying healthy and fit, but also about having fun with friends along the way!” Elaine, 11/08 “I loved the EZ8 running camp. Lisa is so upbeat and fun. It was a great experience training with a group of women at various stages of fitness. I made friends, increased my endurance, and had fun. I am motivated now to join 5K's and other runs around the city.” Sue, 11/08 “Hi Lisa, On my way home tonight it hit me that I had just gone out and run a 5K without even thinking about it and on a Wednesday night, as well! What a great feeling. I had a lot of fun tonight so I wanted to say thanks and have a great weekend.” Mary, 11/08 If you’re a women interested in running and looking to build your strength, endurance, and improve your over all running skills then Lisa and the EZ8 Running Camp is for you. Even an experienced runner like myself took away a lot from the class. I enjoyed the running drills which I had never done before, and enjoyed the company of other women who were all working on improving their running abilities. Lisa is an excellent teacher and brings a creative touch to the class making it a pleasure for everyone! Lory , 09/08 "I just signed up for my third running camp, not because I just love to run, but because I have the encouragement and support from Lisa, and the rest of the team to get healthy and stay fit. Yes, I have lost pounds, lots of pounds, but I have gained lots of self esteem, health & exercise knowledge, and have met lots of strong and neat women that share my same goals! Lisa makes the classes fun, adds a lot of variety, and makes you forget that you are running! I’ve always been the type of person who wanted to exercise without feeling that I’m exercising. The camps have definitely met that expectation!" - Carole, 09/08 “I was always a sprinter and never dreamed I would want to run anything over a mile. I finished my first 8K a month ago and want to start training for a 10 mile run in the winter. The camaraderie of the group, along with Lisa’s encouraging and fun coaching style have made this a special experience. This camp has inspired me to pursue a hobby I had not thought of returning to in some time. I strongly encourage people to join, whether you are a beginner or experienced as there are skills and tools available in this camp that appeal to all levels.” - Briana, 6/08 "When I first joined the running camp my goal was to run a 5k. I thought to my self a 5k by the time I was done with camp, “NO WAY”. I was able to accomplish that by my 4th week, with the many friends that I met through out this experience. Lisa taught me how to breathe and run the correct way. I am in more shape today then I was weeks ago! Thanks to Lisa I can now run with ease, and I am now ready to run a 10k" – Christina, 06/08 "During my first camp with Lisa, I've lost over 15lbs (that's even with missing a few sessions). My son used to make fun of my "flabby arms", but since I've also been doing abs/weight training, my arms are getting stronger and are more toned. Prior to starting, I was very uncomfortable with my "poofy tummy", but now my abs are becoming flatter & firmer. I'm able to do push-ups & sit-ups with much more ease. I'm not much of a dieter or calorie counter, but since joining Lisa's camp I've just naturally started being more selective about what I eat & drink. I've enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends as we encourage one another to keep improving ourselves, no matter what level each of us starts out at. The greatest benefit however has been mental. I feel so much better about myself, more confident, and much less stressed." Laura, 6/08 "WELL, let's just say after 20 years in the Air Force and HATING to run anywhere but to a good sale. I've ARRIVED at the new me. I joined the Avondale EZ8 camp just for kicks and giggles. I soon found myself running on the off days (running my very first 5K and finishing) and loving every minute of it. After a certain point in our lives (after 35) you start to think you can't do it anymore. Now I'm looking forward to running my first 10K in Dec and hopefully the half marathon in Jan. Lisa has been a GREAT inspiration and motivation to me. I'm now running six days a week, I've lost over 20 pounds (in 6 weeks) and have a new outlook on life and how great I feel because of the exericsing and positive vibe you get just from being aroung Lisa during the week. And lets' not forget about the great group of ladies you get to laugh and share with every week. What a wonderful way to get a new lease of life, enjoy the company of some great ladies and have the consistent motivation of a GREAT TRAINER." Tiffany H., 6/08 "I'm now participating in my third EZ8 running camp with Lisa. In addition to the fitness benefits, I'm meeting fun, active, positive women who make the camps extra fun. Each session is a little different; it never gets boring. With Lisa's guidance and the encouragement of my fellow runners I've become more motivated to increase my fitness level -- and I am actually enjoying the process! Plus, I've made some new friends and fitness buddies. Lisa has transformed me from an exercise hater to a fun-fitness lover." Joanne, 6/08 "I never thought I could become a runner at 46. Four weeks into the EZ8 running camp has not only proven me wrong but I've shaved an entire minute off my mile time! Learning to run correctly using the POSE method is great but the friends I'm making in the process - priceless." - CJ, 4/08 “I just had a baby and wanted to get back into shape. EZ8 was awesome! It not only motivated me to get running again, but got me back in shape too. I liked that it was a team effort, and everyone cheered one another on”-Aletia, 4/08 “I joined the running camp because I felt like it was the only way I can get in shape. I have never liked to run though. I never realized running with this great group would be so much fun. I also really enjoy the drills and sprints. I really like the locations we run.”- Beth, 4/08 “I enjoyed running with other women that encouraged me with my time. Plus the Pose Method has helped with my running time”-Roz, 4/08 “I enjoyed meeting new people and getting more motivation from Lisa and the others”-Sylvia, 4/08 "Iron girl? Me? Who would of thought? Yes, if I can do it you can do it! I ran my first post twins 5K in early December and even beat my trainer by just a few other Iron girls! What a compliment to Lisa! I have really enjoyed the EZ8 running camps. They have taught me about breathing, form and endurance...and I improved my time every month! I am really looking forward to the up and coming running camp to loose those holidays pounds, for my Caribbean cruise and to fit into my new Christmas wardrobe!"--Amy, 1/08 "My whole motivation for joining EZ8 running camp was to improve on my technique and gain confidence to run a 5K. Thanks to Lisa's training camp, I have achieved my goals. On December 2nd 2007, I will be running my first 5K." -- Mercedes, 1/08 "The EZ8 running camp has taking my running to a new level! My breathing, endurance and appreciation for the sport have increased way beyond my expectations. Running in the gym doesn't seem the same! I've enjoyed Lisa's camp so much that I've taken my fitness committment to a new level and joined her training program!"--Suzi, 1/08 Lisa's running camp is empowering and fun. I'm 50 years old, 200+ pounds, and thought running would be too hard on my body. But at camp, I find myself running (injury-free), and enjoying it. It doesn't even feel like exercise. I'm also noticing some increased muscle tone and more energy. " -- Rose, 6/07 "I was very skeptical at first about this camp and changing my ways of running. I have found that it is so much easier on my joints. It also is a lot more fun doing this with a group."--Stacy, 6/07 "My fitness groove revived after several waning years. I especially like the group dynamic and Lisa's personal attention. It really does feel good to run again."--Gene, 6/07 "I didn't have the confidence that I could run. However, once I started camp and learned the right techniques, it became easier. The group setting is great because we keep each other motivated!"--Vicki, 6/07 One on One Clients and Group Training at home: "My life long weight problems have caused multiple issues with self esteem. I want you to know how grateful I am for you guidance and friendship over the past 6 months. You have touched and helped change my physical and mental body in countless ways. I now have increased motivation, confidence in my abilities, and more knowledge about nutrition and exercise. I am most grateful for you assistance in helping me reach my weight loss goal after a life long battle. Thank you for helping me LIVE life. " Wendy, 4/09 “Working out with Lisa has made my desire to “get back in great shape” a reality. My work outs are enjoyable –I love that she comes to my home for our sessions, and Lisa gives me fresh perspectives on eating well. I feel inspired to take better care of my body, and that inspiration is what makes the fitness goals attainable. I have lost a significant amount of weight, am showing some muscle definition and continue to use the tips and tools Lisa has provided for me to sustain the changes I see. What a difference it makes to have a professional trainer in my corner, challenging and encouraging me to be my best every day! Thank you Lisa!” Rachelle, 3/09, my awesome business coach "Thanks to Lisa, and Weight Watchers, I have lost 30 lbs since January, and have toned my body more than I ever thought possible. I've gone from a size 16 jean to a size 12, and they are not even tight! About 30 years ago, I remember dieting myself into size 12 jeans, which fit for about a month. But it was a starvation diet, and I couldn't keep it up, so the weight kept coming back. I feel so much healthier now, and have much better stamina and balance. I'm confident I can keep the weight off because my metabolism has increased due to my improved muscle tone, and better eating habits that I learned from Weight Watchers. And I've only been working out with Lisa once a week! Thanks, Lisa, for the training, coaching and encouragement. I'm so thrilled with my results! You're my hero!" -- Donna "I met Lisa by signing up for her Free Running Clinic Seminar, that day change my way of living. I now have Lisa coming to my house 2 days per week at 4:45 A.M. to train. After 4 weeks, I have lost 10 pounds, several inches and 3.5% body fat. It’s not just the weight lose but, the great energy level that I have been able to get back. I’m 54 years old, survived breast cancer (just this past September) and with the help of Lisa I feel good about myself again. “Thank you” --Wendy "Lisa has been a great motivator to open my eyes to the joy of exercise and has truly led to a lifestyle change versus a short-term weight loss program. She is energetic, positive and a personal example of healthy living without being a tyrant trainer!"--Melissa "Lisa is great! She has helped me stick with a program for longer than I ever have before! Over 12 months! Working as a group has kept me motivated and helped me to push myself! And I love strength training! I now have great arms and shoulders which I didn't think was possible!"--Linda "Working out with Lisa has made such a difference in my body. I’m stronger, leaner, and doing activities I would have never dreamed possible 95 lbs ago! The group training has been fabulous. My workout partner and I keep each other motivated during the week to ensure we get our sessions in. I’ve been much more successful since I started training with a partner, and I recommend it to everyone."--Traci I've been working out with Lisa for over a year and a half. She makes working out fun and changes things up to keep it interesting. She's always looking for new exercises so that she can change things up. Lisa is a great motivator for working out and for weight loss too! Thanks Lisa for all that you do!!!--Nancy B. |
