Since I began working out with Barb approximately a year ago, I feel that I am in better physical condition than I have ever been.  My core strength has improved greatly, and my confidence during my workouts is so much better than it ever was.  I really enjoy working out when I am with Barb, and I actually look forward to my weekly sessions!  I don’t let anything get in the way of my workouts – I protect them fiercely!

I have also benefited so much from the NEWAY program that Barb started.  I eat better food, I feel better, and losing weight has been easier than it has ever been in my life. I am able to maintain my weight easier, too.  I have noticed that my weight does not fluctuate wildly like it used to.  I would get so depressed seeing my weight go up 4 pounds, then down 2, then back up 3, then down 4.  With the NEWAY lifestyle, my weight stays the same or goes down. Eating better food, and serving better food to my family, really makes me happy. 

I know that not everyone can workout with Barb, but everyone can try the NEWAY program.  I really recommend it.   –Cindy Richburg, PhD    Indiana, PA

My Monday workouts with Barb...

I'm very fortunate to have an opportunity to train/work out with Barb on Monday mornings where I work.  I knew Barb before I started my program with her and she was aware of some of the health problems I was experiencing and suffering with at times.

I recently had a severe bursitis condition in my right thigh, hip and eventually into my sacroiliac joint that was quite painful to the point of keeping me from my daily routines.  This eventually triggered my body to develop my fibromyalgia condition that I was diagnosed with a year ago.  Because of this condition, my joints and muscles can become very painful, and the flare ups that I often experience really affect my day-to-day living.

Since I have been training with Barb for over a year now at even only one session per week, I have felt much stronger, and most of my health problems associated with the fibromyalgia have lessened greatly.  I've noticed other differences as well, like the capris that I couldn't fit into last summer now fit...  I have more strength in my arms to help my husband lift our canoe up onto and off of our Jeep...  I can ride my bike further...  My shoulder is no longer experiencing pain...  My list goes on and on, and I discover more and more improvements as the months go by.  And although I know I will always have to deal with my fibromyalgia symptoms, Barb is a very important part of my ongoing progress.  Not only does she help me physically, but she has become a friend to share many of my happy times.  I thank God for her knowledge and abilities to help me, and also for the newfound friendship we have developed.

I asked Barb one day in June two years ago if maybe I could be one of her clients, and she said, "Only if you are serious about it, Marian."  I told her I was, and I started going to her home twice od week not knowing that I would take part in some of the most grueling work I have ever done.  She's good at what she does!  She works me hard, and when I complain and say I can't do it, she says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!"

What Barb has done for me in the past two years is nothing short of miraculous!  My body is so much stronger and healthier, and my mental and spiritual attitudes have improved.  I still have a bit farther to go to get the rest of the weight off, and will Barb's guidance it will happen.  When I start to let my eating get out of control, she makes a pact with me to cut some dangerous food out of my diet.  And when you shake hands with Barb on something, believe me, you stay committed to it!  I would never want to let her down.

I don't think I ever want to give up my workout sessions with Barb.
