Art A.  lost 17 lbs* – he actually lost 30!!!!!!!

Dear Jenny,

In the summer of 2009 I was sitting behind the desk at my wife’s Pilates studio in Encino, CA. I had this nagging self-consciousness worrying that I was a poor representation of Pilates sitting there at a whopping 220 pounds and barely six feet tall. “But I’m in marketing!” I told myself. I don’t do Pilates. After about a month of sitting there, slinking down in my office chair, one of the instructors, and a close friend, Josh, said what I’d been thinking all along. He said, “Art, you’re too fat to be sitting at the front desk of a fitness facility. Let’s work out.”

Now, the timing of this was incredible, and Josh was reading my mind because a few days earlier I had started the fabulous Jenny Craig program. I was new to the Pilates business and didn’t want to feel so uncomfortable in my own body day after day. Additionally, my doctor was begging me to lose 30 pounds, as I have high cholesterol and refuse to take cholesterol-lowering meds. She was painting pictures of horrific heart attacks by age 50. Before the moment that Josh and Jenny Craig snapped me out of my panicked and frozen state, I had no clue what to do as I was never a person who “dieted.” As Josh put me through a “male-oriented Pilates workout,” my mind was effectively blown. Josh had me do versions of Pilates that were brand new. We working parts of the body that guys love to work! I never knew this kind of workout even existed. Suddenly, I became really excited knowing that I had my food under control. “What are the possibilities of what I can do if I did Pilates 4 days a week and kept my caloric intake down?”

Joseph Pilates had a famous quote, “In 10 sessions you’ll feel a difference. In 20 sessions you’ll see a difference, and in 30 sessions you’ll have a whole new body.” Nobody had ever tested that quote and put it on video until Josh and I did it last summer. What we discovered was perhaps the most potent, and powerful one – two punch in Pilates and Jenny Craig! In roughly 60 days, I lost 17 pounds* and completely changed my body from flabby and fat to fiercely fit! I couldn’t have had this kind of result without a nutrition plan that gave me great energy while I worked out. The Jenny Craig Program was, and continues to be fantastic! Now, when I come into my Jenny Craig Centre to weigh in and get my food, I get questions from some of the new clients. My favorite is, “What are you doing here? You look fantastic!” “You should have seen me last summer.” I tell them. “Stay on the plan, and see your consultant!”

I want to thank you and your fantastic company for changing my life! I sincerely hope I can help convince men that Jenny Craig is as wonderful a nutrition plan for men as it is for women. I certainly proved how effective it can be with a steady diet of Pilates.

Thank you for changing my life! I hope I can somehow be an inspiration to those who are looking for nutrition and fitness solutions. It’s all right there for them, and the road to healthy tastes great!

Sincerely, Art
