ALYCIA MANGANARO

Like most people, I’ve always struggled to find the motivation to exercise, then I found Limitless Fitness. I love having a trainer who pushes to my limits, and past them, and it’s so refreshing to have others in the gym with similar goals. The owner of Limitless offers workout challenges that I enjoy participating in. 

​

The challenges helped me get to the point where I was comfortable in my own body. Working out became enjoyable to me and part of my daily lifestyle. I was finally able to hit my goal weight and couldn’t have been happier. 

​

Then, in 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With all the medication and steroids, I gained 26 pounds and was so unhappy. I couldn't fit into any of my clothes and I was extremely depressed. Even while I was sick and going through chemo, I tried to attend as many bootcamps as I could. When it got too hard, Pam would let me come in and just lift some weights or walk the treadmill. She was always so supportive and helpful. Going from working out all the time to getting sick and not being able to work out as much was incredibly hard for me. Once I was healthy and feeling back to myself, I got back to bootcamp. I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to gain back the muscle that I had lost. I worked out hard, ate right, and participated in another challenge. I lost all my chemo weight, and have never felt better. Getting back to working out, eating right, and having encouragement from the trainers and friends, along with that challenge to help boost my confidence, was just what I needed to feel like the old me again. 

​

I learned to keep true to who I am and keep up with what I love. Now I am even stronger, more confident and in better shape (physically and mentally), than before I started chemo. I am so grateful for Limitless, Pam and all the amazing trainers there.
