Client Spotlight - Suzan Bell

Suzan Bell is the perfect example of what we believe people can accomplish at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness and we couldn't be more proud of her accomplishments.  Suzan was in attendance at a presentation Mike gave at the local Rotary meeting in November last year.  As soon as the presentation was over she walked straight up to him and said, “I want my life back! How do I get started?”  They met the following day and she began working out with Scott 2 sessions per week and has not looked back.  On top of those sessions Suzan works out on her own, walking and now JOGGING! She just completed her first 5k!  She has also incorporated the foam roller to her daily morning routine.  She says this has been working very well to keep her body healthy.   Suzan certainly got her life back!

From Suzan, on her accomplishments:

“The biggest change has been on the inside.  I have more confidence and I believe in myself again.  I’m really good at telling myself “I can’t possibly do this or that”….Now, I believe I can do anything I set my mind to.”

​
​“On the outside I have lost over 20 pounds, I have more energy, and I am stronger then I have been in 20 years.” 

​“I no longer want to sit on the couch or take naps all weekend.  I want to get out and enjoy my life, not watch it from my living room window.  Also, my back does not hurt anymore.”

From Suzan’s trainer, Scott Philbrick:

Having the opportunity to train Suzan and see the transformation she has made, in a short amount of time, makes my job incredibly satisfying.  Being able to witness, every week, the changes mentally and physically which can come with commitment to one's self is a great experience.  Suzan is proof, with set goals, mental fortitude, and the determination to succeed anything is possible!

From Suzan, about her Trainer:

"Scott is more than a trainer, he is my friend.  I know he will never let me hurt myself, nor will he let me “wimp out”. My first workout with him, I was on the floor, after doing the shortest plank in the history of the world.  Out of breath, I thought I would take a quick rest on my hands and knees.  Scott told me to “stand up, be proud of yourself, you did it!”  That stuck with me.  If he thinks I can do it, then I should know I can do it too.  He doesn’t let me give up, and has helped me believe in myself again.  To hold my head up high because I tried.”

Things Suzan loves about Wilcox Wellness & Fitness:

“Not enough people smile in the world.  Wilcox Wellness & Fitness is a place where people are genuinely happy to be.  Everyone is always smiling – clients and trainers.  Even in the middle of the most grueling workouts.”

​
“Every workout is different, fun, and challenging.  30 minutes fly’s by.”

“No mirrors: Not seeing what you look like really forces you to focus on how you feel and what your body is telling you from the inside.”

“Wilcox looks different because it is different.  You are not just another “member”.  You are with friends here, who will do everything to help you succeed in reaching your goals and who truly care about you as an individual.”
