Member Story – Osiel Silva
290 lbs is what I was working with for a quite sometime. And to be honest, there was a point in my life where 290 lbs just felt comfortable. But I knew in the back of my mind that number was not healthy. My weight loss story began back in March of 2012. I decided for myself that it was time for a change. “It’s either now or never Osiel.” I said to myself. No more excuses. A friend of mine told me to check out a gym called Bigwood Fitness. With doubt that this would only be a phase, I hesitantly got a membership. I started off slow & only used the elliptical. Since even the treadmill intimidated me. I would see a group of people heading downstairs to go to Bootcamp. Many people told me to give it a try but in my mind I was not leaving the one machine I was comfortable with. Until one day Rob Driemeyer knocked some sense into me. “O.C. This machine is only going to do so much for you. Come downstairs & give Bootcamp a try.” Long story short I am down to 230 lbs & feel like I can take on anything! This year I will be competing in a series Spartan Races which is now a sport I love to do! I will forever be grateful to Rob & the entire Bigwood Fitness team. Nutrition & fitness is now a passion of mine & love spreading the word of living a healthier lifestyle.
