"I am a
single mom with three kids. You want to talk about
stress! I joined Leisure World because of the family
swim for my kids, but I found so many things for myself
too. After meeting with a personal trainer I realized
that it wasn't selfish for me to exercise, but it would
actually be beneficial for my entire family because it
would improve my health and keep me energized. It's
great, I can put my kids in the childcare and have an
hour to myself. I even can get a mini-spa treatment
when I just take 10 minutes to unwind in the sauna. I
am so much more pleasant and stress free."

"I've
never been over weight, and I could always eat what I
wanted to. I didn't exercise. I was skinny, I didn't
need it. But my doctor said that I needed to straighten
up my eating and start working out. When I joined
Leisure World I figured since I was here, I should give
it my 110%. I got on an excellent program with a
trainer working with freeweights and some cardio to keep
my body fat down and my heart in shape. With in weeks I
noticed more muscle definition in my abs. Now, I have
competed in 2 amateur figure competitions and I'm loving
every minute of it. I love having defined lean long
muscles. It really makes me feel great when I look into
a mirror."

"I lost
my husband almost two years ago and I have been very
lonely. I joined Leisure World with the hopes of
meeting some people. I started walking in the pool
every morning, and sure enough, I have made a whole
group of new friends! Not only do I have an array of
companions, my doctor said I'm in excellent health and
my joints have never felt better."
