Member of the Week Meet Lindsay Twining who is our member of the week! Lindsay has been a member with us since January of 2020 and killing our sessions one workout at a time. Since joining Rancho Cordova Fit Body Boot Camp Lindsay’s biggest accomplishments are gaining so much strength, flexibility and recently has been able to do REAL pushups!! Lindsay feels the best part about pushing herself in the workouts is that she’s able to do this injury free because of the coac...hes’ guidance and help with the form. Another HUGE accomplishment for Lindsay is the mental strength, not only pushing herself through the workouts but applying the same mentality in her life outside of Rancho Cordova FBBC. ‘This has improved my mental health and pulled me out of my Covid slump and I will be forever grateful for that.’ During Lindsay’s free time she enjoys trail running, hiking and exploring the outdoors with her family. Lindsay is a sushi lover but she loves all kinds of food, she loves trying to cook new dishes and finding yummy restaurants. ‘What do I love about Rancho Cordova Fit Body Boot? I love the atmosphere. The coaches are incredibly uplifting and encouraging even when I walk in and don’t feel like working out. Somehow, they always motivate me to push through and I’m so much happier when I do. It’s really the best part of my day. The members also make it a great place to be. The workouts are always challenging and fun even when some of the moves seem intimidating. Everyone around me is so positive I can’t help but smile when I’m there. I’ve really enjoyed the nutrition guidance as well. It’s realistic and I don’t feel like I’m always depriving myself.’ ‘Lindsay, (aka Wonder Woman) is alway bringing her A game to the mat with a smile on her face! When she first joined our challenge back in September she was doing push ups on her knees and now she can do a full push up while bringing her chest down to the ground! She has trusted the process and is so much fun to coach. Watching her get stronger and gain the confidence she has been working for has been so rewarding. Keep up the great work Lindsay. I am very proud of you!’ Coach Liz Q See more

The atmosphere is so positive, welcoming and helpful. All of the coaches bring a different energy and knowledge to the workouts and it's very motivating.’ ‘Roselyne’s transformation in itself is an amazing journey to witness firsthand. I admire her discipline and hard work that she puts in on the mat and even off of the mat. Roselyne is one of the hardest workers in the room, super coachable and I love challenging her during our sessions.’ Coach Liz S.

I never tire of the awesome testimonies and pics! They give a person hope. The coaches are a blessing. I’ve never been anywhere that has coaches that care. They are each individually awesome and yet they are single purposed...to help all of us attain our hopes and goals. To help teach us a better way. Mere words are not enough to express my thanks. So instead I keep on keeping on to make them proud! I still have goals ahead of me... weight loss, a full push up and a better lunge. I know that if I keep pressing on I will get there. And I know I’m not doing it alone. Thank you Rancho Cordova Fit Body Boot Camp!!! And thank you Julie for always having the answers when we ask and always smiling as we come thru the door.

Transformation Alert Welcome to Transformation Wednesday, Fit Fam!! Everyone meet Jeff, he's had an amazing transformation story physically and mentally. ... He started his journey with us during our September 2020 Challenge and hasn't looked back since. Check out his testimonial and be inspired. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life before Rancho Cordova Fit Body Boot Camp was a downward spiral. I was constantly making excuses and drowning my issues with a bottle. I drank and ate what I wanted, while not seeing how bad my body was getting. My grandfather had a heart attack last year and my mom told me that we have heart disease, diabetes, and cancer in our genetics. I never tried to take the step toward going to a gym because I was embarrassed by what I let my self become. I still remember picking up my daughter from school and having a couple women walk by and say "gordito" (chubby boy) lol. I hated myself. I had to make a change! On my 30th birthday, my mom told me she got coupons to try an 8 week challenge with RCFBBC and we started a week after my birthday. I remember tossing and turning the night before, anxious to be around people again, to put myself out there. I almost told my mom I couldn't make it, but I'm happy I didn't. That first workout changed my life. RCFBBC is different because the coaches help you through all of it. The nutrition packet, instructions for workouts, and it's a great, positive environment. I've never tried HIIT training before this, but now I feel like I can accomplish anything after getting my morning work out in. I really enjoy the process. I get excited for the workouts, I like seeing the results and I've gained so much confidence that I didn't have for such a long time prior. I've gained energy and I feel great. Thank you so much to my coaches. RCFBBC has truly changed my life. I wake up in the morning and I honestly smile at my reflection. Previously, I hated looking at myself. I hated the way I felt physically. I was tired all the time. And I was killing myself by slowly poisoning myself with liquor and energy drinks. I went from burgers and French fries, to chicken and stir fry. Most importantly, I'm happy again. I can't wait to see what life has in store for me next. Thank you so much RCFBBC! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are so proud of you and your hardwork, Jeff! Thank you for allowing us to be the avenue to changing your life. Remember Fam, it's not about how fast you get it off, it's about getting it off and keeping it off. Consistency Over Perfection. Quality Over Speed. Get After It, Fit Fam!!

My life before FBBC was on pause. I found myself lonely and depressed being a new mom all over again at 42 after raising 1 adult child and a teenager. I always wanted to workout and did try different things and gyms but never stuck with one. I was bored with it and didnt really know what I was doing anyways so that sucked....Then I had excuse after excuse which then lead to "I dont have time! Im too busy! I have no one to watch my son." Blah blah blah. Endless excuses!! I was... just going through the motions like a robot on my day to day routine. As I was scrolling through my facebook I came upon the ad for Rancho Cordova FBBC comming soon. I must have passed it up 20x before I actually said to myself "If not now then when?" So I checked it out and looked up exactly where the location was and it must have been meant to be because its literally 10mins from my home. With no hesitation I joined. HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE!! I was impatiently waiting for them to open!! I have tried so many fad diets and quick pills to "control" your appetitebut they never work. I thought not eating or eating less was the way to lose weight. Boy was I wrong!! FBBC proved me wrong! I would say my first year at FBBC was basically creating new habits and shifting my mindset. I was creating the habit to show up! Once there it was on fire. I felt alive! The people you meet start depending on you to show up. So you dont want to miss class. More importantly the Coaches and James are amazing people. They truly care about you and your health which makes it even more inviting. I LOVE working out and absolutely feel like crap when I dont show up which basically is never. Going back to my first year I lost 10lbs. I was ok with that then a challenge came around and I said what do I have to lose? I signed up and learned so much more about myself and how to use food to fuel my body not just feed it. BOOM! 15 more pounds gone so thats a total of 25lbs lost!! I was shocked! Felt so good and more importantly people were starting to notice. I can honestly say that I dont ever want to stop working out. Its my high! More importantly Its the FBBC family and the owner Coach James! I have learned so much about myself and have gained the I CAN DO IT ATTITUDE! #iamfbbc Thank You FBBC For Changing My Mindset Kelly, we are so proud of you. You've transformed your mind which has allowed you to transform your life and we appreciate you allowing us to be part of your journey. We're just getting started.

Life pre FBBC was practically non existent. I was way overweight and constantly tired. I didn’t do too much cause my weight held me back. By this I mean I didn’t like going out cause I was self conscious of my fatness. I felt useless, judged and ugly. Flying on an airplane was difficult because the seat was soo small for me. My heaviest weight was 267 lbs which made breathing extremely hard. I have asthma and was constantly having issues with that. Prediabetic too. I sat arou...nd a lot and continued to eat. I knew I had to make a change. I had tried every weight loss program/diet there was. I knew there had to be a better way. I accidentally found FBBC just driving by it. I went home and looked it up and read about what they did there. One thing I liked was the pictures weren’t all people buffed and perfect. They were people of all shapes- sizes and ages. I loved that. So I drove over and went in to ask some questions to the gentleman (Justin) at the counter. I was sold!! Came back with my son and started the next day!! I think all the workouts are awesome! The coaches make it so you want to do the workout. They push you positively to do more. They never make you feel less than, but to be more than you have ever been. What I have learned about nutrition is more than I’ve ever known. Doing the May 2020 challenge helped me learn about food and how you can eat it in a positive manner. It took a minute to get the hang of things. I never did a workout like FBBC before. I would go to the gym and do the treadmill or a bicycle that was about it. One of my biggest successes was getting myself off the floor without assistance! I cried the day that happened, as did Coach James! Doing my first crawl was a memorable day also. A few months into joining I had surgery on my foot and was out about 3 mos and I really learned about nutrition then. I ate balanced and only gained about 3 to 4 lbs considering I was bed bound mostly. It was amazing that food did not become my enemy! My life and health have changed so much. I look better and feel better! My asthma is rare these days, except for these smoky days, but much better even then. I’m stronger, more confident, and happy!! I feel like I can achieve anything! I still have some more weight to lose and muscles to gain, but I know I am in the right place. To my coaches at Rancho Cordova FBBC this would not be possible without you. James and Elizabeth Swift your vision created a future for sooo many. Thank you. To the other coaches, what can I say but thank you and you are stars!!! Debra, you're journey thus far has been amazing and we all know you're just getting started. Thank you for commitment, trusting the process, and believing in our Team and Fit Family. We know your story will inspire others to do more than they believe they can.

I have always disliked the way I looked. I have always been a big girl. From middle school all through High School and College. I played sports and I excelled in Track and Field where I was a thrower. My weight would fluctuate from 220lbs to 230lbs. Because I was tall, in my mind, it made it alright. Even in high school I struggled with wanting to lose weight, wanting to be thinner, but I didn't want to sacrifice my talent. I had no self control then, over eating at almost ev...Continue reading

I’ve always been active growing up in Vallejo, Ca. From starting Kajukenbo(style of martial arts) at age six, to playing Junior H.S/H.S football, basketball and bandminton. My go to sport to this day is basketball, which I still play competively. During my high school years, I weighed no more than 135lbs soaking wet. I was never really into lifting weights but can outrun anyone out the gym. I moved to Sacramento after I graduated high school in 1997. I can honestly say that w...Continue reading
