This is long overdue -- Devonte, Terrell and team have created something special at Dilligence. I had known Devonte through Eight Six Go Running for a few years before I finally started training at Dilligence — and my only regret is not starting sooner.
I walked into Dilligence during one of the hardest seasons of my life — I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I wanted to feel better, find a healthier version of myself, build consistency, but I didn’t have the tools or know where to begin. Honestly, it all felt overwhelming.
Devonte and Terrell built a program around my goals, starting small with semi-private personal training twice a week. Just showing up those two mornings a week started to shift everything — it gave me accountability and immediately lifted some of the mental weight I’d been carrying. I let go of all expectations, overnight hopes, slowed down and got ready for a long-term journey. I let go of caring what the number on the scale was because I was finally educated that there is more to our health than that number. I let go of comparing myself to others because Dilligence made me feel so comfortable and encouraged. The trainers and community see you for where you are and celebrate you at every stage. Shoutout to the 6:30AM crew!
Slowly, my habits started changing. I didn’t overhaul my diet overnight, but I began making better choices one meal at a time, and that grew into a more mindful, balanced way of eating. They gave me the tools to build confidence not just in the gym, but in my mind and body. The mental fog lifted — I feel stronger, brighter, and more connected to who I am. That energy has spilled over into my career, my relationships, my home, and my hobbies.
A fitness journey is holistic – not just physical, and Dilligence 100% embodies that which is why you cannot get this experience anywhere else. They set the standard for a balanced lifestyle. Investing in yourself has no price tag. Start somewhere, start small, you got this.
I can’t wait to see what year 2 brings for me on my Dilligence journey!
Sincerely, Chelsey, a 30 y/o woman who can now crank push-ups, barbell squats and sees definition in her abs. But most importantly, a Chelsey who mentally feels like she shines from within. The younger me would cry of happy tears.
