Matty was a game changer in my fitness journey, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for him. In terms of diet, Matty actively reviewed my food journal weekly and provided constructive criticism and guidance. He encouraged me to get my calories in check, even commenting on sodium levels and encouraged variety, fresh foods and to stay away from processed foods. He emphasized adequate water intake too.
The part of the challenge where each pound or two lost gave the team points was very motivating to get my diet in order. I didn't have a hard time exercising; I had a hard time eating the right foods and in the right portions. I loved the nutritional challenges with Kelly, as I learned so much to fine tune my eating habits. I needed the competition to gain points for the team to get my personal act together. As to workout friends, I definitely made some and feel so good about now having a group of people to reach out to for a workout buddy in class. I really didn't know anyone from Princeton Club before the challenge (other than a friend from my prior gym), so to have that familiarity and see people about that I know provides much comfort. As to dropping weight, I was able to shave off 16.3 pounds and drop just about 3% body fat. I am continuing on in the program and plan to watch my fat intake closer to get my body fat percent lower along with dropping another 15 pounds. I see this truly as a lifestyle change. I know with Matty my trainer in my corner and this new set of friends, that I will be able to s I am so thankful for this program. It was so much more than I knew just from the marketing materials. If people are looking for more than just weight loss - like finding friendship, support and getting their diet under control, this program offers everything that is needed and more. Shari Wiemer |
What did Biggest Loser Summer 2023 do for me?
It did two things: It gave me a needed second chance and it made the Princeton Club a giant support system. Having won the competition once before 5 years ago, I was nervous because I would have to admit that the weight came back, and I let it happen. I was never gone from the gym, but I had stopped paying close attention. But knowing I had done it once before, I hoped I could do it again. My wife also wanted to enter the competition again and the support at home is always a plus. We could and would support each other and push each other when needed and we did. It always helps to have a gym buddy. So, I started again, day by day, week by week and pound by pound. Through daily hard work and daily focus, it worked. My yellow sheet got signatures and I tracked food and exercise in the app. An additional plus is it made the Princeton Club become even more of a daily support system. Everyone is rooting for you and cheering you on. From the front desk signing your yellow sheet to trainers on the gym floor and in classes - everyone wants you to succeed. You even talk to more members – how you are doing and how they are doing – cheering each other on becomes common place. With this contest over – I finished 3rd and lost 43.2 pounds. I feel great! However, my journey continues – I have more to lose, and I am glad to be doing it at the Princeton Club. I have nothing but thanks and gratitude to the staff and members of the Princeton Club. I will try to continue to move forward and keep going. I look forward to seeing you at the Club and please feel free to say hi or ask for a spot – Ryan |
The Princeton Club and the Biggest Loser contest have been life changing for me. I've discovered I'm capable of so much more than I thought I was. The contest taught me to prioritize myself and gave me the tools to ensure my diet and workouts were safe and productive for me. The accountability and consistent support and guidance from my trainer helped me stay on track and build confidence every step of the way. Biggest Loser put me on a path to being happy, healthy and fit. I'm really proud of what I have achieved.

The Biggest Loser is a great way to kickstart your weight loss goals. It helps hold you accountable for what you are doing, from working out to eating. It is especially motivating for anyone competitive like myself. Learning new workouts outside of free-weights was very helpful for working out outside of the program. I think the thing I was most surprised to learn was just how many calories are in some of the things we eat. The food log was incredibly eye opening. Overall, this is a great program to kickstart or get over a plateau on your weight loss and I highly recommend it. -Mario DiBenedetto
