I'm Richie Short and I'm 54 years old. I joined about nearly 3 years ago now. It was actually my wife who gave me a trial membership as a Valentines Day present and I loved the experience of the 6 week trial and I haven't looked back since.
I was a serial gym non-member. Well, I was a member, paid the membership fees and then probably went for the 1st month and then probably once a month for the rest of the year. So I wasted a lot of money.
The DVCC is different, it suites my style of living, obviously I'm a busy executive and the times of the classes here fit in really well with my schedule and I like the team ethics and the motivation of the trainers keeps me going and it really drives me on, so it's a completely different experience. I feel a lot fitter, I feel a lot more confident in myself and I have lost weight. I will admit, I've been up and down during those 3 years but generally much, much fitter.
I think the happiest moment would have been when I reached my lowest % of body fat. I went down at one stage to 16% body fat. I would recommend it because it's got a great feel, the trainers are excellent, it's good to have the peer support of all the other people who come to the DVCC, they're a great crowd and you'll find that you workout a lot harder.
You'll do probably burn as many calories in 50 minute session here at the DVCC as you would in probably a 2 hour session at the gym. It'll keep you going, and you'll have fun and feel fit and healthy.
