"In 11 weeks I've lost 15 lbs of fat, dropped my % of body fat from 25.4% to 14.9% and gained 5 lbs of muscle."

The Living Lean program is just what I needed to get back in shape. I knew what I needed to do (exercise more and eat right), but just couldn't stay with a healthy routine on my own. Sheena's Living Lean program has provided me with a great team of highly motivational trainers and nutritional coaching, including a sensible eating plan customized for my goals, and fun spinning and weight-training classes. But it's more than diet and exercise. Sheena's daily tips and motivational emails keep me mindful of how I need to be thinking about my health and fitness and the impact our state of mind has on our approach to eating and exercise. In 11 weeks I've lost 15 lbs of fat, dropped my % of body fat from 25.4% to 14.9% and gained 5 lbs of muscle. And as I've become more fit, my trainers have challenged me to increase the intensity of my workouts and not become complacent. I feel terrific, have a lot more energy and am stronger than I've been in a long time. Thank you, Sheena, Bronkar, Julie, and Saki for everything! I really could not have done this without you.

"I have much more energy since my body fat percentage went from 25.3% to16.1%."

When I turned forty it became increasingly hard to keep weight off. Enter Sheena. She and her wonderful team of trainers have helped me to strengthen my core, improve my muscle tone and improve my eating habits. What I like about Living Lean is that it is tailored specifically to me to help me meet my fitness goals.  I have friends on the program who have other health challenges, and their program is different from mine, while the basic healthy principles are the same.  With Sheena’s help, I have integrated the Living Lean lifestyle into my lifestyle. I am grateful to Sheena and her team for the improvement in my health – in body and mind.  Thank you Living Lean.

"I lost 20 pounds in three weeks and continued to lose another 10 over the next 2 months."

I'm a busy health professional and an avid (obsessed) surfer. The faster life moves for me, the more difficult it is to find the balance between eating, resting, and working out. I decided to try the Living Lean Program to re-discover healthy eating habits and to prepare for the upcoming winter surf season. Stated simply, the program changed my life. I lost 20 pounds in three weeks and continued to lose another 10 over the next 2 months. My clothes fit better, but most importantly for me, I feel healthy, light, and young. I'm surfing better and more confidently and my new eating habits have been easy to maintain. The program was easy to implement; in fact, the eating and exercise regimen simplified my schedule (and my life) by reducing the amount of food (and in some cases, time) choices. I'd recommend this program to friends, family, patients, and colleagues.

"My body fat percentage went from 18.5% to 13.5% in twelve weeks."

I have been going to Living Lean for the past seven months and I feel it was one of the best decisions I ever made. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer my world turned upside down and I made it my mission to get as healthy as possible. I have been eating according to the Living Lean guidelines, working with the Living Lean personal trainers for strength training and cardiovascular training and I am doing yoga and jogging on my own. At 50 I am now doing things I couldn't do in my 40's. The Living Lean Program has guided me to achieve my goals and helped me to become stronger and in the best shape I have ever been in.

"Within an eight-week period, I lost 22 lbs and eliminated my type- 2 diabetes."

>I am a 52 year old guy that came to Sheena weighing 208 lbs, which is too much for my 5 ft 10 in. height. I had a big gut with a 37 inch waist. I had recently been to the doctor and had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes based on a triglyceride level of 379 mg/dl and a glucose level of 115 mg/dl.  Given this information my wife and I decided to try the Living Lean program.

We began spinning classes two to three times a week, personnel training twice a week and riding our road bikes or skiing on the weekends. We changed our entire eating habits in accordance with Sheena's guidance.

Within an 8 week period, I lost 22 lbs and reduced my waist size to 33 inches. My recent blood tests indicate that I have eliminated the type 2 diabetes issues with a triglyceride level of 150 mg/dl and a glucose level of less than 100 mg/dl. I feel better than I can ever remember. I feel strong, energized, and have an overall positive attitude. My wife has had similar positive results, and it has been very reinforcing to do the program together.

Thank you Sheena!

"In less than a year, I have lost almost 25 pounds and have kept it off."

It isn’t often you are given the chance to remake yourself, but Living Lean gave me that chance and I couldn’t be happier.  There were no gimmicks – Sheena’s program follows good nutritional guidelines and the rest is hard work. But the eating program was easy for me to follow and the exercise while not painless was at least fun and enjoyable. Living Lean’s trainers are the greatest and I thank all of them for helping me through the difficult times. Even more important, I have gained lean body mass and shed a lot of fat! I am enjoying long rides on my road bike and really looking forward to ski season this year. My New Year’s resolution this year is to keep on doing more at Living Lean!

"After being on Living Lean for 15 weeks, I lost over 20 pounds of fat."

Joining the Living Lean program is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. My husband got the program for me for my 41st birthday in May of this year. At first I was very skeptical and didn’t think that I would want to devote so much time to exercise. I haven’t worked out for over 6 years and didn’t think it was likely that I would be disciplined enough to maintain the exercise routine or the nutritional plan. However, I gave it a shot and was really surprised to see results in less than two weeks after I joined the program. I feel much better in general and have a lot more energy to do all the things that I enjoy doing outdoors. Most of all, it feels great to know that I can accomplish something that I thought was next to impossible just a few months ago. Thanks Sheena for being such a great trainer and thank you Michael for such a wonderful birthday present!

"In 12 weeks I lost 15 lbs and my body fat percentage went from 29% to 20%."

Living Lean helped me to overcome my fear of another failed effort to lose weight. I have been on and off every type of diet there is and have struggled with weight loss my whole life until I found the Living Lean Program. My blood pressure went from 138/80 to 110/78. The program motivated me to adapt healthy habits into my lifestyle, and to overcome my fear of another failed effort to lose weight. I realized that having a program that makes sense scientifically and that I could be motivated to stick to consistently was the combination I had been missing all my life. Because of Sheena and all her wonderful trainers, I look better, feel better, and have a "yes I can attitude". Thank you Sheena!

"A year ago Living Lean were just two catchy words in my life, and now I am living lean on a daily basis."

My friend Julie was just beginning to become a body beautiful in May 2007, and I was watching her in amazement. I never thought about myself in her company.  Four months ago I took the plunge. It has been the best four months of my life.  Sounds like over kill but not so.
I have experienced successes I never dreamed about.  I have lost pounds, gained knowledge, and strength I never thought possible.  Taking it a day at a time, and eating so differently that my husband and all my friends are supportive because they know I am on a lifelong crusade to have a quality of life long term. The second greatest thing is that I have ‘lost’ into my old wardrobe and did not buy new clothes.  All the efforts and work have really paid off for me.

Lisa Siemsen

"These pants are too tight.” “That shirt doesn’t ft anymore.” “I may have to buy all new clothes.” These comments from my wife, Lisa, led me to seek out Sheena at Living Lean. A mutual friend had gone on the Living Lean program, and the results were great. Lisa was a bit reticent at frst about her ability to succeed in the program. In turn, we all knew that we would have to support her 100% as a family. Since joining the program, the entire family now eats brown rice (not easy, since Lisa is Chinese), Living Lean Bread, and we’ve virtually eliminated red meat and high fat foods. At meals, our kids often ask if we’re “eating on plan.” Lisa has made working out a way of life. Lisa went from 28% body fat to 15% body fat in 6 months and from a size 10 to a size 6. Lisa is discovering “new” clothes every day in her own closet. At our recent school auction, she was able to wear the same little sexy black dress she wore at our wedding rehearsal dinner 10 years ago,.and it fts perfectly.

"I started with the Living Lean Program and Sheena ffteen months ago. Within ten weeks I had dropped from a size 10 to a size 8 and reduced my body fat from 33% to 24%. Within six months I was down to a size 6 and my body fat was 18%."

While it wasn’t easy, it was fun. Sheena encouraged and motivated me every step of the way. She gave me great advice and created really interesting and challenging workout sessions (no two have ever been the same). Fifteen months later I am a size 4, my body fat is 14% and I feel great
Sheena has taught me how to incorporate Living Lean into everyday life. This isn’t something that has ended with me reaching my initial goals it has become a life.style!

Polly Gorin

"My story probably sounds familiar. I love to cook and eat with friends and as time marched on, so did my weight. I belonged to a gym but was undisciplined about getting there and staying focused. I had hangers full of pants that didn’t fit anymore and did NOT want to spend money on bigger baggier styles. I was ready for a change, but not committed, when I ran across an ad for Living Lean. Two minutes after reading the ad, I was talking to Sheena."

After our conversation I had a very strong feeling that the Living Lean program could work for me. I knew I needed support. Sheena had the knowledge, experience, trainers, and structure I was looking for. The program just made sense.
I began the path of eating “on plan” and exercising regularly. But in the 3rd week I feared that I would have a major setback when I fell at work and broke my arm. I know that in any other setting (a class or gym) I would have quit exercising because I could no longer “keep up” with a routine. But with Living Lean each session was individualized so there was no “keeping up”, just moving forward at my own pace. Trainers kept me motivated and moving. In spite of my broken arm, I reduced my body fat from 26% to 15% and fit into my old pants!
Thank you for the support Sheena, Saki, and all the trainers that have helped me. I feel so much better.

"I reduced my body fat from 30% to 16% in 11 weeks."

I knew I'd reached a critial point when my scale registered a weight I hadn't seen since I was pregnant. My excuse had been a new job - lots of stress and long hours. Instead of calming down after work through exercise, I was coming home late, and de-stressing with a drink and food. Living Lean helped me take control, and get back on-track fast. I started seeing results after one week. The personal attention and accountability made the difference for me in sticking with the program. I felt so supported and encouraged by my trainers and Sheena. The measurable results motivated me to work hard and actually look forward to being weighed and measured each week. I lost weight, and cut my percentage of body fat almost in half - in 11 weeks I went from over 30% body fat to 16% body fat. Before Living Lean, I would stand in front of my full closet with nothing to wear because my clothes were too tight, or didn't fit at all. Now I can look in my closet and pick out any outfit I want - even my "skinny" clothes! I feel healthier, stronger and happier. Other benefits I experience include better posture, better sleep, and more energy. I can sincerely recommend Living Lean to anyone ready to take charge of their body.

"I reduced my body fat from 19% to 13.5% in 12 weeks."

I have been working out almost everyday at my gym for years and have always considered myself pretty fit, but in the past year, regardless of my hard work, I plateaued. No matter what I did my body stayed the same. I began to think that I was as fit as I would ever be and that maybe I shouldn’t expect to see any more improvement, until I discovered Living Lean.

I joined Living Lean and brought my fitness to a whole new level! Sheena taught me how to balance my diet with the right amount of protein and carbs to help me lose fat weight, while gaining muscle mass. Her daily messages are inspirational, and really help to keep you on track! I was able to intensify my workouts and muscle strength –most of my workouts before living lean had been cardio only-adding the weight training twice a week has made a huge difference! The personal trainers are fantastic ! They really bring your fitness to a whole new level! Feeling healthy and having a positive attitude is what it’s all about, and the team at Living Lean really help you accomplish that.

"I’ve lost 20 lbs of fat and I am stronger than ever..."

I have been very athletic all my life but also struggled to keep my weight in check. A ‘perfect storm’ of happenings – becoming home-based for work and a milestone birthday – both aided in a pretty significant drop in my metabolism. I just could not eat any less than I already was so I knew it meant the hard work of increasing my activity to lose the weight. Like a lot of others in the program, I contacted Sheena after seeing some of the other success stories in the local paper. I have lost nearly half of my body fat since I started (over 20 pounds of fat) and am stronger than I can ever remember. The trainers make the workouts fun and I found that I love spinning. Nice people, good workouts, and a new found body.

Thank you, Sheena!

"It really works. I lost 15 pounds in 2 month."

No more counting points or eating boxed food for me. A 47 year old mom with 4 kids always being on the go, I have little time to think about fitness or nutrition. I am also a gym rat, I love classes – spinning, weights, step, etc. After the birth of my fourth, I just did not have the same body I once had. My clothes were not fitting and I could not seem to drop any weight. I was exercising 6 days a week, and thought I was a healthy eater. After meeting with Sheena, I really tried to stick to the plan. I tried the recipes and my family really liked them. I really haven’t changed my lifestyle too much, just added a couple workouts which are really fun and challenging. The bottom line; it really works! I am rarely hungry and if I am, I eat a snack, I am feeling much more energized, healthy and stronger. My clothes fit better and I feel great!

Michele Foster

I was 45 and nothing I did seemed to make a difference in my overall fitness level. I had low energy, was having trouble sleeping and felt run down and dissatisfied with the way I looked in my clothes. Even when I tried to do the things that had worked to get me in shape in the past, it didn’t seem to matter. Then I saw an article about Living Lean and it seemed different than anything I had ever tried. Sheena spent time devising an eating and exercise plan that would help me meet my goals. I began to see results in a couple of weeks and even though I’ve had some bumps along the way, I’ve learned that nothing is irreversible and that by focusing on my plan, I can always keep moving forward. I’ve lost 12 ½ pounds and 10% body fat. I am stronger than I’ve ever been with more energy. The trainers are incredibly motivating, the classes are great fun and Sheena’s tips, quotes of the day and inspirational messages are a welcome sight on my computer each day. Thank you Living Lean!

"No More Mommy Muffin Top."

Balancing work and family commitments has always made it extra challenging to get and stay in shape. The bikini was banished and clothes were often chosen based on camouflage value. My overall goal was to rid the mommy muffin top and achieve a level of fitness that helped me excel in other activities. I have finally found the positive atmosphere and program that works – LIVING LEAN. In the process I have learned about healthier eating habits that I will carry with me for life. I was shocked at how quickly I was able to realize results when combining an effective workout routine with better eating habits. With living lean my lean body mass decreased to 10 percent while on my own my fat mass was going and going. I wish I discovered this program years ago. The bikini is back!
