Exertec’s Member of the Month
Edd Rials

What is your occupation?  
Plant mechanic for Syar Ind.

How long have you been coming to Exertec?
I’ve been a member for almost 5 years. I started coming to the gym when another gym closed in town. I went to all the gyms and decided that my needs were met at Exertec. My main reason for coming was strictly recreational, 3 days a week, hour and half just strictly lifting weights.

Have you been able to reach your goals? 
I had no goals in the beginning, but about 2 years ago I started to gain weight and was not able to lose it. I began adding the treadmill to my routine. Then I got addicted to losing my weight. My gym time increased from 3 to 5 days and the weight melted off.   All total in a year and 9 months I lost 60 lbs.

How did you accomplish that and did you have help and/or support? 
Whether the trainers know it or not, I'm listening. I've started to realize that technique is most important.  A person can do 1000 sit-ups or more a day and not be getting anywhere. That was me. So I asked what am I doing wrong? It was then that I realized that technique is everything with all exercises. I've been able to isolate and burn out my troubled spots with help. Thanks for that Brian and Jeff. My diet has had to change as well and while its been a battle, it’s been worth it.

My goals are simple I've lost most of the fat, now I want to gain muscle. I got my weight down from 260 to 200 and my goal is 220. Then it will be all about learning maintenance. With more guidance from the professionals I'll be moving forward.
