Dr. Ijaz Ahmad

I was 36 years old when I met Tom. That day changed my life. I am totally a different person after 7 years. I was 30 lbs overweight. I could hardly do 3 push ups or walk 5 blocks without getting short of breath. I had joined a bunch of gyms and bought equipment for working out at home. But it never worked. Tom evaluated me and I filled out some forms. We started training 4 times a week. I don’t remember Tom ever calling out a single day unless he is out of town. He is always there. Rain, shine or snow – nothing stopped us. He made my full workout and diet plan for me. He guided cardio sessions and resistance training for me on daily basis. And we talk politics, music and all social issues. He is my family now. We talk for hours about everything including restaurants, upcoming vacation plans and our daily work related issues. It’s because of Toms instruction and motivation that running 6 miles one day a week is part of my life. I run and lift weights, which are more than my own weight, to start my day and then drive to work. All of this has become a normal routine for me. If I miss my work out I feel something important is missing from my daily routine. I owe this fitness level to Tom. I never felt as healthy as I feel now. Thank you Tom. Hope to work out with you for many more years! (7 years with Spartan Home Fitness)
