Dear Dimitri & PMF

I would say that only one of countless and ritual late evenings while watching TV and over-indulging truly changed my life quickly like I never would have imagined. That was the day I met Dimitri (via digital cable) and I was thoroughly intrigued by the motivating health and fitness presentation he gave on the health segment of CityPulse 24, hence the name – Pure Motivation Fitness!

Prior to having my beautiful babies three years ago, I was an athletic individual and had not experienced weight gain issues. I was acutely aware of my love for sugar and negative food choices, however, maintaining a healthy diet was not an important issue for me as I knew my high metabolism would help me easily burn off excess calories, except for those hard target areas most of us women experience.

Post-babies, my weight gain over the last three years and two pregnancies had escalated due to the rigid and unforgiving schedules that babies demand and my personal time and motivation for anything, let alone exercise, quickly evaporated. It seemed as though I was awake around the clock and constantly hungry and fatigued! I was aware that the lack of exercise and motivation, spearheaded by my poor diet, was the root of my problem. I desperately needed help as my second and final maternity leave was ending and I was to return to work. I owed it to myself and had to confront the problem head on and immediately.

I had seen many late night fitness segments on television before and was always keen to tune into anyone’s weight loss tips in my desperate attempt to lose nearly 50 lbs. I had gained. Dimitri’s presentation left a positive and lasting impression with me. After hearing about PMF and the in-home training available, I knew that finding time to leave my home and my kids was the hardest thing as a mother returning to work so this had to be the best solution for me, despite the gym membership I had but didn’t use. I contemplated what I should do and I was a bit reluctant at first but the initial complimentary and non-obligatory consultation and training with Dimitri was hard to resist. What did have I have to lose besides 50 lbs.?! I eventually contacted him via e-mail soon after to see if he could give me the kick start I needed. My initial meeting face-to-face meeting with Dimitri was definitely the day that helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. He was very friendly, professional, sensitive and understanding of my needs. I was able to digest the invaluable nutritional and general health counselling and knowledge Dimitri passed on to me and it proved to be the cornerstone for my personal situation. Dimitri assured me he was available to me at any given time for one-on-one counselling via phone or e-mail and he proved to be true to his word throughout. Almost 6 months since starting my nutritional counselling with Dimitri and personal training in my home with Noland Clarke, I gradually and quickly lost nearly 50 lbs and gained my former fitness level and, most importantly, confidence in myself back. It felt amazing to be back to my pre-baby weight! To this day, colleagues, family and friends have jubilantly commented on my incredible weight loss in a short period of time. It was such a wonderful feeling to be noticed for my new figure because for the last few years that was the last thing I wanted. Guaranteed, this was truly the best investment in myself and a treat by putting my needs first for a change. I have absolutely no regrets except that I wish I had known about PMF after having my first child to put into practice the invaluable knowledge sooner than I did. More importantly if I ever fall off the horse again, I know exactly what I need to do to get myself back on it and ride away a champion Mom!

Dimitri – I cannot thank YOU, Noland and Pure Motivation Fitness enough for the support, knowledge and personal training you provided me with to help me believe in myself and achieve my goals in a timely manner and to educate me with the wisdom to ensure my future well-being from a nutritional and fitness perspective.

Thank you!
