UUIB: “Best decision I ever made”—Mona Lisa Faris
I have too many words to say how wonderful and life saving UUIB is! Jose and Nadia make you feel comfortable and not just motivate you to exercise, but teaches you how to eat healthier. With the onset of COVID, I joined UUIB. I now have been a member for over 3 amazing years! Prior to that, I was an avid gym goer, but as a busy working professional and mother, I found it much easier to workout from home. They have a place for anyone, a plan for any goal, and everything is flexible. I am extremely satisfied with UUIB and can easily squeeze in 5-7 workouts per week! I've lost about 20 pounds and kept it off, but more importantly, I no longer look at the scale, or focus on my weight. I also joined their ELITE Training, which in my opinion, is the best! It's private coaching and training but focusing on weight lifting and strength building. I used to have backaches, but not anymore, my core is so strong I can do a plank for 5 minutes! Once you try it, you will become addicted! You will start losing weight, start drinking more water, sleeping better and looking and feeling better! Even better, you will fit into your clothes better and look and feel better! Their daily workouts are not easy but have different levels to meet everyone's goal and fitness level. It's NEVER boring!
I can tell you that the workouts are intense, and awesome! My coach, JOSE is always there for me; whether it is to vent, or redirect myself, or to just get feedback and motivation. It is my favorite part of the program. They encourage meal prepping and offer many cooking classes. What gym does that? I find the meals plans are easy to follow and I love that you can trade things around, include accommodating my plant based vegan diet. It makes it feel like I am eating what I want, just much healthier. UUIB is truly a family! They even care about your life and the struggles and successes you are going through which is so special. Everyone here is all hands on deck to make you feel like you are a vital member of the team. I’m glad I’m staying fit, but I’m motivated by their commitment to me. That’s why I feel a commitment towards them!
I find every class so different but always super challenging, and this variety of workouts keeps me invested in maintaining a consistent motivation to show up and work hard. Each daily workout focuses on a different part of the body. The trainers are ALWAYS so encouraging, offering modifications when needed. UUIB always goes above and beyond to meet the needs of ALL of their clients. I have always felt that the staff value me as a member here, not just seeking fees. For example, they also offer pre-recorded zoom classes if you are unable to make that time slot. The level of accountability and expectation to give it your all never faltered.
Not only do I utilized their workouts, but my 14 year old son also is a member and lost 21.6 pounds! He's now a freshman in high school, on the swim team and attributes his success to the personal training he received.
To further my love and complete support of the UUIB, I also referred both my sisters! Now, all three of us can workout together even though we live in different cities! It's beyond fun! All you have to do is try it for one week and then a month and when you see yourself looking better, and your pants fitting you better, you too will be hooked. What are you waiting for? Trust me, your Peloton will not speak back to you or call you or care about you like UUIB! Who wants to get dressed, drive to the gym, wipe up sweat from others and then drive home to shower and change? Instead, I prefer to workout at home, squeeze in ANY time you have and make it happen, set that goal, and lose the weight you always wanted to! It's so easy, just try it out! What do you have to lose, except that weight!
