Nothing
says
"You
are
getting
a
bit
doughy"
like
a
gift
certificate
for
a
month
of
personal
training.
Honestly,
I
did
feel
like
an
out
of
shape,
shaggy,
lumpy
mass.
Well,
I
can
take
a
hint,
so
I
signed
up
at
Mint.
I
was
impressed
at
how
thorough
the
initial
assessment
was,
one
on
one
sessions
that
worked
through
my
"body
mechanics,"
past
injuries,
my
goals
and
pointed
out
some
weird
vestibular
issues
that
have
all
gotten
so
much
better.
They
also
have
a
magic
machine
put
numbers
to
my
out-of-shapeness.
Even
though
my
goal
was
to
get
stronger
and
lose
weight,
I
also
could
track
the
areas
that
improved
or
stayed
the
same.
My
trainers
have
been
awesome
about
coaching
me
through
what
to
work
on,
how
to
do
the
exercises
the
right
way
to
avoid
injuries.
I
will
say
that
my
journey
wasn't
without
hiccups,
the
pandemic
closed
things
down
and
Mint
moved
to
an
online
format
which
was
organized
and
thoughtful.
.
With
limited
workout
equipment
at
home
and
a
pandemic
baking
hobby,
I
was
still
much
more
active
but
I
wasn't
losing
much
weight.
When
things
started
to
open
up,
I
went
back
in
person
only
briefly
until
I
got
injured
kayaking.
(I
blame
the
duck!).
After
being
back
in
person
again
now,
for
a
few
months,
going
once
a
week
felt
like
I
was
coasting
in
maintenance
mode
and
I
finally
started
wanting
to
see
Results,
with
a
capital
R.
I
shifted
to
twice
a
week.
They
accommodated
my
not
so
busy
schedule.
I
do
small
the
group
sessions
where
you
get
to
meet
some
awesome
people
on
their
fitness
journeys.
Every
few
weeks
my
custom
program
changes
to
focus
on
improving
the
thing
I
need
to
work
on
more,
or
want
to
work
on
more,
and
to
keep
a
whole-body
regimen,
building
strength,
endurance,
and
flexibility.
They
have
a
ton
of
equipment
but
it's
not
all
about
the
weights.
There
are
a
lot
of
times
when
I'm
getting
a
challenging
workout
just
using
my
body
weight
and
focusing
on
the
proper
form.
The
team
at
Mint
are
professional,
sincere,
compassionate,
respectful,
and,
to
be
honest,
pretty
chill.
Everything
I've
seen
shows
that
they
want
the
best
for
people
like
me
and
want
to
see
them
become
their
best
selves
and
live
their
best
lives.
Don't
get
me
wrong
my
trainer
pushes
me,
but
there
is
no
judgment
or
dismissiveness
in
any
way
ever.
He's
all
about
positive
support
and
reinforcement,
and
doing
the
work.
Since
starting
to
go
twice
per
week
I'm
down
15
pounds,
gained
some
muscle
mass,
can
run
a
2.5
mile
trail
run
in
twenty
five
minutes
from
barely
being
able
to
run
1
mile.
Most
of
all,
I
feel
great
and
I've
said
goodbye
to
that
doughy
dad-bod
and
hello
to
some
buff
pastry.
If
you
are
thinking
about
getting
started,
I
highly
recommend
trying
Mint
Condition
Fitness.
