Since the day I meet Fo doing his shopping at Home Depot, I was intrigued by my husband about the vigor regiment that Does has to provide the result that I wanted to achieve in my life. Not only exercise but an overall balance in life. That would keep me challenged in returning to my fitness plan for life. Once going to the fitness center and hearing Fo’s philosophy about work, life, eating, resting, and fitness balance, I knew this was the right fit for me to begin my journey to overall well being for myself. Not to say to it is an ”easy day,” he and Lans have said to me during.and after a workout but enjoyed looking forward to the results I am seeking in the end.
