The FMS Program has dramatically increased my fitness level. I was always a fat kid growing up so in about my freshman year of high school
I started trying to get into shape and trained really hard. The end result is the "Before" picture I included which was at the end of my senior year.     

I then saw the Fitness Made Simple commercial and decided to give that a shot because I still wasn't as cut up as I would have liked to be. It took only my summer vacation to achieve the results of the "After" picture attached. I
give so much praise to the FMS program my nickname in college is "Basedow" and I have got 6 other people onto the program. I don't have access to a camera here at college where I am ending my first year but I have made significant improvements since that "After" picture.

Hey John,

 
Well, it's me again with yet another update for you. Last time we spoke I had just ordered "Six Pack Abs" and was waiting for it to arrive. I felt my abs were the next step for me to seriously work on. I had lost the weight/my gut through the FMS program and now I wanted to start to get some definition in my midsection. 
 
Well, I'm happy to say that it's been showing up in a relatively short period of time. I really like the exercises you do on that tape. They are pretty easy to follow.  I work right along with you and it's great to have the three different ab routines to do.  I like to fit them into my three workout days, right before I go to the gym, so they act as kind of a warm up for the rest of my routine.
 
As I told you before when I started with the FMS tape, I really like your three days training philosophy.  It's been working out pretty nicely for me from day one. I was telling some guy at work about it the other day. He's always been known to go to the gym and we got on the topic of working out.  He said to me "Oh, well I go to the gym 5 or 6 days a week, but lately I haven't had the time and I really have to get back to it."   He was trying to explain why he goes so often, but I really couldn't see the point.  But hey, now he's not going at all........SO I think I'm gonna just disregard his training philosophies and stick with yours that have been working very well for me so far.
 
I've  really come to believe that you know what you are talking about and always appreciate your guidance. I have to tell you John that even though I have never met you or talked with you personally, you have been a real inspiration to me.
 
So now that I've rambled on some more, let me close now by just saying thanks once again for helping me to get one step closer to my ultimate fitness goals!!!
 
Sincerely,

PS: pics are coming soon. I recently got one of those computer cams and took some current shots. Now I just have to find someone with a scanner so I can scan an old photograph from last summer.

FMS is a great program that does work.  In the short time that I have tried the program I've lost over 15 pounds and my cholesterol has dropped to the lowest count in over 6 years.  This is without the side effects that the prescription medication was causing.  Thanks!

Dear John,
 
At the age of 36 I weighed 165 pounds on a  5' 6" frame.  Although I was physically active I thought I'd never see the day that I would weigh under 150 again.

I purchased the "Fitness Made Simple" videotape and after viewing it decided to follow some of the tips just as a lark.  I started drinking more water, cutting down the portion sizes and running first thing when I got up.  Within two months I had lost 20 pounds.  Now a year later, I weigh 140 which is only 5 pounds from what I weighed at 18.

Thank you for your website and videos.  They've made a big difference in my life.  I have more energy, motivation and self-esteem than I've ever had.

Dear John,

I thought I would share a pretty cool story with you today. Over the past couple of weeks I had the chance to visit with some friends (on 2 separate occasions)  that I haven't seen in well over a year. The first visit was at a restaurant on the beach (a birthday) and my friend Dave after saying hello, said to me...."God you look good....You're on something aren't you?"  I just laughed cause that's just like Dave and said "Nope!"  and told him all about what I've been doing. Then he insisted on hearing all the details about my workout and diet.   I did briefly tell him about it...but suggested that if he was really interested he should visit your website (www.FitnessMadeSimple.com) for all he needs to know.

Then on the 4th of July, I was invited to a BBQ at a friend's house and another guy who I haven't seen in even a longer period of time had a similar reaction...the very first thing he said was  "What have you been doing!  You've been working out haven't you?...You look really good."  and then he went onto talk about all the benefits of working out not only for your body, but for your mood and state of mind etc. etc. etc.  which, of course, I already know about now as a result of being on your program. This meant a lot coming from him because in the past I always admired this guy for being very health conscious and in great shape.   
 
So, there you go, another long rambling letter from me. I hope you don't mind.  But it's always so nice when these kind of things happen.  It makes me want to just thank you again for all the help and inspiration!!
 
Take Care,

Hi John,

I purchased your "Fitness Made Simple" tape about 2 months ago.  It is
awesome.  I can't believe how well I am transforming my body!  When I
look in the mirror I have a hard time believing it's me!

Hi John,
 
Thanks for the straightforward and informative tips you provide for everyone. Let me also tell you that I used to laugh whenever I saw your commercials.  I thought of you as another "snake oil" salesman until I heard you talk about some of the same things that I thought about, like "diet" actually being a "nutrition plan." I have bought all your videos and quite a bit of supplements too (although I am careful about using them and especially not as a crutch) and have recommended you to all my friends.

Hi John,

I've been following your plan for about 2 years now. I'm in the best shape of my life right now, and I believe it helped in my escape from 2 World Trade Center, 97th floor during the attack. I work for Fiduciary Trust with front office trading on the 97th floor of Tower 2. I am 31, and I was on the 71st floor in the stairwell when the second jet hit us. My life was spared right there.

I was in my building about 10-15 minutes before the first jet hit the other Tower. About 10-15 minutes after I got out, Tower 2 came down. I was able to walk 194 flights of stairs, get out just before the collapse, over the Brooklyn Bridge, and through Brooklyn to safety. I was not tired, or winded during this.

Thank you again,
Anthony

Hi John!

It has been 2 weeks since I started using your methods and I have lost
lost 11 pounds. I started at 230 and now I’m at 219. I spend less time in
the gym, and I’m seeing better results. I must admit my gym buddies have
been giving me a bit of flack for not hanging out the usual 2 to 3 hours we
used to spend working out! I'm seeing results and my abs are beginning to
show. I'm going to take a photo at this point because, at the rate I’m going,
I would not be able to show my before physique.

Thanx for all the help!

Thanks.
