Here Is What Some of My Clients Are Saying ...
My journey began in 2010 when I had a cancer scare. My Naturopath advised me to add some form of fitness into my healing plan. Who knew that a single Zumba class at a local community centre would change my life in ways I could have never imagined? Two minutes into the warm up I was sweating and feeling out-of-breath but that didn’t stop me. I left that class with a smile on my face and an admiration for an instructor that made the class fun and accessible to (scared) newbies like me.
Within a year I added weights, yogilates, and personal training to my schedule – all of which were way outside my comfort zone. Terry immediately put me at ease and I was hooked. I take on average six classes with Terry a week. It is time that I have set aside to take care of me. I have lost 20+ pounds, gained strength, confidence, healthy lifestyle habits (a lot of which resulted from free challenges that Terry runs throughout the year), and a family of fitness friends that are second to none. Everyone supports and cares for one another in all of the classes she teaches. I would not be where I am today had it not been for the support and guidance of Terry. I’m sure I speak for most when I say that Terry takes away our excuses, moves our bodies in ways we didn’t know they could move, helps us discover body parts we never knew we had, motivates us, and most importantly makes us make ourselves better. If you want to look great, feel great, and have fun doing it then I highly recommend trying a classes with Terry and Design Fitness Centre. J.J - Waterloo My biggest challenge initially was overcoming my fear. Physical Education classes were the preserve of the already fit and talented. Those of us less athletically apt suffered pain, ridicule and humiliation. Most of us quit taking these classes as soon as possible and stayed away from anything that sounded remotely like a “phys-ed class” for years. So when I decided to try something new and also improve my strength and stability, it was a terrifying moment to step into that first weight training class.
What happened in that class has changed my attitude, opened my eyes, and given me muscles I didn’t know I had. Now I miss the classes when we are off for statutory holidays, or I am away. I actually miss the activity and the challenge but I also the miss the camaraderie of my fellow class mates. When we aren’t howling or possibly screaming, we are laughing. For most of us I think, the next biggest problem is actually doing it. But these classes make it easier to make a commitment and stay with the program. Thanks Terry Barb - Fitness Class Participant |
It took me a long time to gather my courage and attend my first class. You see, during puberty I developed Scoliosis, a nice word for curvature of the spine. In the beginning it was hardly noticeable but as I got older and older I was unable to hide it. Many people get shorter when they age, including me, so your posture will become more pronounced. One blessing is that it has never caused me any pain whatsoever, only a worry about my looks; so what!
Since I joined Terry's classes I feel so much better, physically as well as mentally. It is so GOOD for you to work out and by the end of a class you feel you have accomplished something. Sure, some days you may not feel like it so much but from the moment you start moving it feels like the right thing to do. So, I would like to encourage anyone who is hesitating, for whatever reason, to join us. Don't worry about your looks....If I can do it you can too. Besides, Terry makes it fun! M.O - Waterloo Overall I really enjoyed this program. Terry is very knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise. The food videos were informative and covered a wide variety of topics. The exercise videos were very helpful when trying new exercises. It was tough on some days to complete all the required exercise but I felt very satisfied that I was able to complete each workout. Thanks for your support Terry
Wendy - 63 Day Challenge Participant On Saturday I attended my last strength training class for 2015. I started taking these classes, three times a week, in January. Initially I felt awkward ...I was overweight and in poor physical shape. The exercises were challenging and difficult. Slowly over time I started to build muscle, some coordination, better balance, and confidence. My self talk changed from "I can't" to "I can." By the end of the year I was able to bicep curl and chest press 15 lb weights, hold planks for one minute, and most amazingly to do 10 push-ups in a row. This is the first time in my life (62 years) that I have been able to do a push-up. Feels great. A personal accomplishment and something I did selfishly just for me. Looking forward to getting back at it in 2016!
A huge thank you to Terry Ford from Design Fitness Centre! Charlene - Fitness Class & Zoomer Boomer Bootcamp Participant |
Terry's zumba and combo classes have helped me become much more mobile and flexible. The routines never get boring and time shared with like minded people makes me want to keep going. Arthritis is a constant battle but I have found myself with much less stiffness and much more mobility since I have been taking these classes.
Thanks so much Terry for your positive motivation and help. N.M - Waterloo Thanks for your amazing summer outdoor Bootcamp. It was so much fun!! It's going to be hard to go back indoors ...

I can now wear clothes that I had to stop wearing, I can tuck my shirts in if I want and not look like a fat beer belly. My blood pressure is down, I have permanently changed the way I eat in regard to a balanced diet and food portions, I am sleeping better. I am exercising more regularly and my body likes it even if I don’t, I am in better shape than I have been in a long time! I am pretty darn happy!
John - 63 Day Challenge Participant A very worthwhile Challenge. My many attempts in the past, for losing weight, were not successful or not sustainable. This challenge provides the proper nutrition and exercise to turn that body fat into lean muscle. I'm glad I took part in the Challenge
