I was 38 years old, weighed 314 pounds and had a 46/48 inch waist. I had an 18 1/2 inch neck. My bad cholesterol level was 221. I wouldn't do any exercise with the word “up” in it; no push ups, no sit ups, no pull ups. I also refused to run or even jog. I was too embarrassed to go to the gym. I obviously needed someone creative and inspirational to empower me to lose the weight and get into shape.

Juris is like the “MacGyver” of fitness trainers. He can create a full body, complete, strength and cardio workout using only 2 paperclips, a wet napkin, and an empty plastic tic-tac container. He literally used anything lying around the apartment (or in the park when we went outside) to exercise. He made it interesting!

Over time, I developed better eating habits and really enjoyed the hassle-free workouts. Juris also enabled me to create my own workouts on my own terms, in ANY environment, WITHOUT any equipment!

At 40 years old, I now weigh 190 pounds, have a 32/33 inch waist, and a 15 inch neck. My cholesterol level is an astonishing 133. I am voluntarily(!) competing in Duathlons and multi-day Adventure Races. I FEEL like an entirely different person. Today, I am in the BEST shape of my life.

I couldn’t have done it without Juris’ inspiration and unique sense of motivation and creativeness. The more important aspect of the last few years, surprisingly, is that it was all very relaxed and enjoyable. Juris changed my life.

Thank You Juris!
