Over the past 25 years, I have made several attempts to incorporate an exercise program into my life. Unfortunately, I had failed to maintain any consistency and ultimately quit within a few months, whatever gym, class, and trainer I had engaged with. FORTUNATELY I stopped into the Happy Factory on a whim and had the pleasure to meet with trainer Jake Elston.
That was 2 years ago, and I can honestly say Jake has changed my life. Jake listened to me as I expressed the challenges I had in the past with sticking to a program. I never felt like I was being sold anything or was being pushed into a big commitment. It was a conversation centered around me and my fitness goals. He made me feel immediately comfortable and outlined an individual plan to start me off slowly and, most importantly, safely.
Fast forward, and I have developed, with Jake's support and encouragement, the internal discipline to make it into the Happy Factory at least 3 days a week, every week for 2 years. As a male in his mid-50s, I am in better shape than I have been since my 20s. The journey is ongoing, and I will continue to be a client of Jake's for as long as he will have me!
Let me also mention that the community of other Happy Factory trainers and clients are awesome. I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place, and you will not either.... do yourself a favor and talk with Jake about your fitness goals. You will not regret it.
