Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
Before I started Body Beast, my life literally revolved around my chronic pain. This pain was in both my elbows, my left shoulder, and my lower back.3 I felt as if I would never be able to live pain free again. My injuries required adding a steering knob to my steering wheel, having to elevate my bed because getting out of bed in the morning produced intense pain, and I could barely lift a cup of coffee off the table because of my shoulder injury. I felt like an old man. The pain had gone on so long that I was in despair. I felt physically weak and emotionally depressed.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I was inspired to begin Body Beast more out of desperation than inspiration. I realized that I needed to do some sort of rehabilitation for my injuries, but I could not afford physical therapy.3 I saw the advertisements on TV and was inspired by the remarkable transformations that ordinary people were making with the program. I was desperate to be healthy again.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?
The greatest challenge I faced before beginning Body Beast was believing that I could complete the program with the limiting injuries I had. I knew I could not use heavy weights at first. I knew I would have to modify the routines and pace myself. The program helped by stressing the importance of safety first, proper form, and having fun. I immediately liked and respected Sagi. He was more interested in proper form and results than lifting heavy weights. That was exactly the message I needed.

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I liked Body Beast because it was strictly weight lifting with not a lot of jumping around. This was a good match for me in light of my injuries and rehabilitation goals.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
The results I achieved with Body Beast are nothing short of miraculous. I no longer have pain in my elbows, shoulder, or lower back. Choosing the lean and ripped program, I lost 35 pounds, which was another one of my goals. I knew that if I lost body fat, the inflammation in my joints would improve, and it has. I feel strong, energetic and physically and emotionally healthy.

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
As a result of my success, my Beachbody Coach has encouraged me to become a Beachbody Coach as well. Facing each day without chronic pain, fear, and sadness has been a huge gift and blessing to me. Part of my life now is a desire to help others achieve success in overcoming similar challenges.
