I walked into Heart Body Soul four
months ago with the desire to commit to being fit and
feeling healthy. After losing a lung to cancer in
October 2000 I was still learning to live with my
repertory limitations. I was sure this would hinder my
ability to be successful in this endeavor.
My first few weeks training with Kenny McGee were spent
huffing and puffing and even shedding a tear while he
patiently and compassionately encouraged me to "dig
deeper". I'm learning to control my breathing without
the aide of an inhaler and much to my doctor's surprise
have increased my ability to breath at my full capacity
by fifteen percent.
At 43 years old I'm seeing muscle tone not seen since
high school. Thank you Kenny! Your patience, persistence
and passionate belief, "we can all be fit", inspire
success!
Sincerely,
Reba Bauer
My name is Tim McCloskey, I am a 34 year old male. I
never really gave exercise much thought until I started
feeling sluggish and tired all the time and knew I was
definitely out of shape. My diet was horrible and doing
any gym-type workout was never a question, it was
something that never concerned me. I started talking to
a friend of mine (Kenny McGee) who explained to me how
important exercise and taking care of your heart really
is. I decided to begin working out at Heart Body Soul
with my own personal trainer!!!! Kenny made everything
so easy and explained to me what we were doing and the
reason for this, he took the time to show me how to do
it properly and made sure I was doing the move in the
correct posture. He actually cares about his clients and
is not just passing time until the next person and is
not out just to make money. I feel the time i spend in
the gym is well worth the time and money invested and i
already feel more invigorated and full of energy. I have
started eating correctly and have noticed results. The
gym feels more like home and the equipment is top notch
and in excellent shape. Kenny and Rob are there for
their clients and always answer any questions and offer
encouragement, plus they sell the vitamins and protein
shakes, so that saves me one less trip to the store and
I can get everything in one place. Starting my workout
at Heart Body Soul has made me feel better about myself
and I know I am staying in shape.

My name is Anne Schneider; I am a 34-year-old female in
desperate need of improving my health. I’m in Law
Enforcement and signed up for the police academy but
have been unable to attend due to a torn tendon in my
ankle. I need to get in shape and strengthen my ankle
but no just for the academy but also to improve my
health. Unfortunately I’m not motivated to workout or
diet and have no energy to do so. Recently a long time
friend of mine, Kenny McGee, suggested I start a
training program with him at Heart Body Soul in Pinellas
Park. I was reluctant to do so because for me it’s a
long drive and I’m not comfortable going to a gym
working out around a lot of people. I had a membership
to Lifestyles for an entire year and went maybe twice. I
don’t like being intimidated by other members that look
like they just walked out of the pages of Muscle &
Fitness magazine. The thing that I love the most about
Heart Body Soul is how comfortable both Kenny and the
Heart Body Soul Team make me feel while I’m there. They
don’t treat you differently because you’re not a certain
size or shape. There aren’t pictures all over the wall
of perfect men and women that make you feel you have to
look like that to reach your goals. They both care about
their clients and make sure we’re happy and healthy.
Deciding to become a member of Heart Body Soul has been
one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve
got the motivation to workout now that I didn’t have
before and I’ve got friends and loved ones to workout
with and encouraging me to continue to improve myself.
I’m starting to see results within myself even after
only a few weeks. I’m a lot happier because I know I’m
working towards a better life. Kenny works right along
side of me during my entire session making sure I’m
doing everything properly and continuing to encourage me
to keep going when I feel I can’t. He treats everyone
like they’re an individual and has a separate routine
that’s design especially for that person. He talked to
me weeks before I joined to find out exactly what I
wanted to achieve from my workout and with his knowledge
of health and fitness has created the perfect exercise
routine and diet regiment just for me. I would recommend
anyone who isn’t comfortable with other workout places
to call Kenny or Rob at Heart Body Soul if your
interested in changing your life for the better. Once
you get started you will be hooked, you will feel like
your coming home every time your there.

When I made the decision to begin a physical training
program, it was in an effort to improve my flexibility,
lose approximately 40lbs. and tone muscle. I chose to
work with Kenny McGee on the recommendation of a close
friend.
About 15 years ago I fell while rollerblading. Since
that time, I have had chronic sciatic nerve damage in my
right hip and have been unable to sleep on my right
side. In recent years, I also began to experience
discomfort sleeping on my left side.
After two weeks of intense workouts, three times a week,
I began to notice that my sciatic pain has disappeared.
Also at that time, I found that I could sleep on my
right or left side without any discomfort at all.
I have been working with Kenny for over two months now,
and I have never felt better. As a personal fitness
trainer, Kenny is attentive, motivating and displays and
genuine concern for my health. We have begun a
nutritional program in addition to my training program,
and I am on my way to a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you Kenny, for all that you have done for me so
far and I look forward to meeting my goals with your
wonderful effort.

This is a testimonial to Kenny McGee and what a great
trainer he is. My friends and I have been working out
with Kenny since last November and we are so pleased
with the instruction, patience, caring and results, that
I wanted to let Kenny know how much I feel he has
improved our lives and spirits. Kenny has taken us, in
less than 3 months, from being middle-aged couch
potatoes into pre-goddesses! We are not "goddess
material" yet, but well on our way. We have lost weight,
toned up, seen our spirits rise, become enthusiastic and
energetic. We actually look forward to our workouts and
everyone is "very" pleased with the way our bodies are
responding. This is a great big "thank you" to Kenny
McGee - for your patience with us, for NEVER letting us
give up, for always being encouraging, for your
gentleness of spirit, and for believing that we will be
outstanding athletes.
