Member Finds New Motivation After Hitting Weight Loss Plateau.
Latoya came to the Mercy HealthPlex in November of 2022 through Weight Management Solutions. Although her life was headed in the right direction, her weight loss was stalling and she had hit a plateau. Latoya had already lost almost 200 lbs. and recently had a lymphatic mass removed.
“I remember the very first time I went to the Mercy HealthPlex. I questioned my ability to overcome my challenges. It became more of a mental game because I started to also struggle mentally. I needed to incorporate more physical activity. Caloric deficit alone just wasn’t doing its job at the moment,” says Latoya.
The day Latoya met her personal trainer Danielle Doria, the impossible seemed possible. Danielle never questioned Latoya’s ability to perform or Latoya’s fitness experience.
“It was like she just knew I was capable. She set realistic but challenging goals for me. I followed her direction closely and have never looked back.”
Exercise has become part of Latoya’s daily routine. She’s meeting her weight loss goals and feeling more confident than ever. Latoya also enjoys the variety of classes at the HealthPlex. She enjoys land classes with Rio Light or aquatic classes with Diane Kabakoff and Kathy Winters. The HealthPlex environment is very healthy for her physically and mentally. Everyone is very positive and supportive.
“The staff is amazing! The center director Larry Mestel is the absolute best. A better person could NOT have been chosen to run the facility. The HealthPlex has changed my mindset when it comes to exercise and fitness. I come here daily to put the work in and I’m there with the best group of people ever…my HealthPlex homies. When you go to a regular gym, you are by yourself and there aren’t a lot of people to talk to unless it’s a paid trainer. Even when you are having a bad day, the HealthPlex offers support in more ways than one.”
When asked if she would recommend Mercy HealthPlex, Latoya says:
“I would recommend this center to anyone, but most specifically to a person in need of support and motivation. There is always someone there to offer that encouragement that most don’t like to admit is oftentimes needed. You get individualized plans from anyone you work with which is what makes each class and training program unique. Fitness and exercise will always be a part of my life, that is due to my commitment, and experience with the Mercy HealthPlex. I feel like everyone here has been helping to push me on the right path.”
