FT Norwell Client Of The Month: Ed O’Brien

First assessment 11/30/12:

  • Body Fat % 33
  • Weight 192
  • Waist 42″
  • Hips 43″

After 6 weeks, Assessment #2 1/16/13″

  • Body Fat % 26
  • Weight 172
  • Waist 37″
  • Hips 39″

Twenty-pounds. That can seem like a daunting amount of weight to lose. For some of us, losing twenty pounds only gets us part of the way to our goal, and that’s enough to keep us from getting started at all.
Ed O’Brien, 60, came to Fitness together this past November. You remember November, right? It was the beginning of that season when you surrendered completely to your cravings and bad habits and, come January, emerged from your post-holiday food frenzy suspecting someone had been tampering with your scale, because you couldn’t possibly have gained that much weight in, wow, only a month and a half? Well, that’s not what Ed O’Brien has been doing. While you (and I) were polishing off the cookie tray and the last of the eggnog, Ed was getting busy at Fitness Together in Norwell.
Says trainer Joe Caruso, “Ed came to FT with the desire and discipline that all trainers love to see in a client. He was easy to motivate and was a sponge when it came to learning new nutritional concepts and strength training techniques. The staff at FT is very proud of Ed’s results and the amazing time frame in which they were achieved.”
In his own words, here’s how FT Norwell’s Client of the Month dropped nearly 20 pounds and redefined his approach to fitness in less than a month and a half.
“I have always had issues with my weight and fitness. When I was younger I was able to summon the willpower to lose the excess weight and get into shape without third party help. However, as I’ve gotten older and become more of a couch-potato, I found it more difficult to continually harness the required willpower. Luckily, I happened to watch a TV commercial for Fitness Together and decided to follow through. A check of their website led to an introductory lesson at the Norwell Studio. I’m glad I did!
After discussing my goals and assessing my fitness, the trainers at FT, Joe, Mike, and Alicia, developed a program of cardio and strength exercises, which have, after only 8 weeks, brought me to a point I didn’t think I’d see again! I’ve lost 20 pounds, shown vast improvement in cardio endurance, and put my body in a shape it hasn’t been in 20 years!
Joe, Mike, and Alicia have been the willpower drivers, the conscience that sparked my ability to not only consistently train with them, but to also workout on my own. After discussing my nutritional intake with Joe, I was also able to institute a healthy diet plan, which is bringing my weight back down to its proper level. Has it been easy? No. Has it been hard work? Yes. Has it been worth it? Definitely!

Letica Costa: Another Great Jeans Challenge Success

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

by Martha Hicks Leta

One of the biggest fitness challenges women often face is getting back in shape after pregnancy and childbirth. A lot of us imagine that our bodies will magically spring back into shape once our precious cargo has been offloaded. Some of us may even be so delusional as to pack along pre-pregnancy jeans as we head off to the hospital. I can tell you from personal experience what a crushing disappointment it is to leave in the same maternity jeans in which you arrived.

Sizing in at a tiny size 0 prior to her pregnancy, Leticia Costa had an enviably slender frame. Even her post-pregnancy size 6 might garner a sneer or two from women bouncing toddlers on their cushiony hips. Nevertheless, when Costa, age 27, heard about the Great Jeans challenge after having her baby, she knew the disciplined workouts and nutritional counseling would be the thing to get her back on track in a hurry.

“I have always enjoyed working out, but after I had my baby I decided I wanted to try something different since my body wasn’t the same. My goals were to drop 2 pants sizes. I figured a size 2 was reasonable. I also wanted muscle tone specially on my legs, butt and stomach.”

Leticia trained with all three FT Norwell trainers, Joe Caruso, Mike Eaton and Alicia Tasney and says the sessions were a far cry from the workouts she was used to. “My old work out routine consisted of 90% cardio, 7% legs and 3% socializing at the gym! My trainers pushed me each session and also gave me good dieting tips.”

All three trainers were impressed by Leticia’s discipline, particularly in following her nutritional program. “Due to her amazing diet and total commitment to her workouts, she totally changed her body composition,” says FT Norwell manager and trainer, Joe Caruso.

Tasney agrees. “She really didn’t have much weight to lose. It was more about getting her muscle and skin tone back.” Leticia’s 1200-calorie diet plan featured a disciplined balance of high quality nutrition. “She really stuck with it and it paid off.”

During the course of the Great Jeans Challenge, Leticia lost five pounds, 5% of her body fat and dropped from a size 6 to a size 2.

“I felt accomplished and I feel a lot better about myself now. I lost about 4- 5 lbs, and gained muscles that I never knew existed.” That sense of achievement motivated Leticia to continue with FT beyond the Great Jeans challenge. She’s also proud to recommend Fitness Together to her friends.

John Coleran: After The “Come To Jesus” Talk

by Martha Hicks Leta

There’s that dreaded moment in the doctor’s office, some people call it the “Come to Jesus” talk, where the doctor tells you to change your ways, or else. In John Coleran’s cases it went something like, “Do something your health or you’ll be going on the needle,” meaning, if he didn’t drop some serious weight and get his Type 2 diabetes under control, he was looking at daily insulin injections and an increased dependency on other medications.

Coleran, 53, has spent most of his adult life struggling with his weight and the associated issues of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He’s tried gym memberships in the past, achieving some degree of success, but that quickly disappears as he gets bored and his motivation wanes.

“I pay all this money for a gym membership,” he said, “but the bottom line is, I get lazy if I don’t have someone pushing me.”

Lazy may be too strong of a word for John. His job as president of ABC Accurate Boat Care keeps him busy, stressed and hard at work. (When I called him for this article, he had to call me back because he was under a boat.) But, like many business owners, John finds it hard to carve out the time for exercise.

But after his doctor ‘s warning, John thought Fitness Together’s Great Jeans Challenge sounded ideal, not because he wanted to fit into a smaller size, but because he knew that the accountability factor of working with a personal trainer would get him out of the danger zone with his health in a hurry.

“The fact that you have someone who knows what they’re doing pushing you to your personal limit,” John said, “you don’t get that at a regular gym.”

When FT Norwell trainer Alicia Tasney first met John, she knew she had her work cut out for her. “John was out of shape when I met him. He didn’t like the idea of doing anything that involved jumping. We had some serious debates about what he was allowed to eat, too.”

John says Alicia’s program was really tough. He understands how she got the nickname Lucifer. “I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to do the things she was asking of me. It was incredibly hard.”

But John trusted his trainer, stuck with the program and saw great results. Says Tasney, “John dropped 2 pants sizes in 5 weeks, even before the Jeans challenge was over. Now John is one of my strongest clients and continues to surprise me each session with his athletic abilities.”

No one was more surprised than John when he was named FT Norwell’s July Client of the Month.

Now, nearing the end of his 8 week program, John has been able to safely lose around 15 pounds so far, and dropped from a size 40 waist to a size 36. Best of all, at his last physical, all his numbers had dropped down into a range considered safe and normal, and for that, John is grateful.

Tough Mudder Part Three: Team Boom Factor Takes On Everest & Firewalker

By Martha Hicks Leta

On May 6, members from Fitness Together in Norwell, 2 trainers and 3 clients, formed a team with 4 other South Shore residents to take part in the Tough Mudder New England Challenge at Mount Snow. In Part III, our final installment, Team Boom Factor takes on the Firewalker and Everest!

The Finish

When last we saw the team, they were only through a third of the 26 challenges. Throughout the rest of the day we stop to watch other contestants going through the tougher challenges, like the Electric Eel, where challengers crawl through water under a grid of dangling electric wires. They scream and swear when the wires touch them. It’s a lot to deal with.

The Electric Eel

The wires are small, but the shocks hurt big time.

We catch up with the team at the Funky Monkey, a long span of monkey bars that climbs up a roof-like peak and down the other side. Rumor is, some of the bars are greased, though it’s hard to say for sure. By now the contestants have been wearing their soaking wet clothes for several hours and many of them are shivering as they wait for their turn. Some of the challengers don’t make it past the first two bars before falling into the filthy 3-foot-deep pool of snowmelt below. Others make it close to the end before slipping off.  Some can’t even reach the bars and they jump in, swimming to the other side. The incredibly agile cruise across as if they were raised in trees and this is their normal mode of conveyance. Mike makes it across. The others come close. As we stand watching, only one woman makes it all the way.

Lou takes a dunk at the Funky Monkey.

We see the team again coming through Firewalker, where contestants pass through a blazing gauntlet of kerosene-soaked straw that belches noxious grey smoke into the air. Once through the gauntlet they must jump over a gas-fed strip controlled by a fat guy in a green shirt who sadistically sends the flames leaping higher into the air as skittish jumpers attempt to clear it. Some racers pause by the blazing hay to warm themselves. No one that we know of catches fire.

One of the final obstacles is called Everest, where challengers must scramble up the curve of a 15-foot tall half-pipe as it straightens to a vertical face, striving to get up and over the top. Teamwork is fully in play here, for this challenge absolutely can’t be done alone. Here, momentum can carry a person only so far, ideally delivering him or her into the helping hands of others that have gone before, who then must be strong enough and willing enough to pull strangers and team members alike over the top.

The hundred or so challengers are spread out 20 or 30 feet across the width of the obstacle, ten or fifteen deep, waiting for their turn to go. Maybe five can go at once. There should be chaos and jostling and annoyance here—at least to the same degree as in the Starbucks line at rush hour—but inexplicably there is order. Over the course, it seems, the Mudders have acquired the sort of oneness that comes with unified suffering.

The members of Boom Factor percolate toward the front of the line. Eric is up. This is the first time I’ve seen him in action. He scampers up the side and is hoisted over in one fell swoop. He stands at the top and takes in the view like a pleased warrior chief before stooping to help the next few over. Lou and Mike make it over in quick succession. Kurstin follows, grabbing her way up and over the wall by sheer force of will. It’s impossible to tell that she is dealing with the excruciating pain she carries from the injuries sustained to her heels in the weeks before the challenge. It is only days after the race that she admits they were hurting her for the entire day.

Team Boom Factor tackles the Glacier

On another part of the wall, a grey-haired woman in her late 50s is struggling to get up the wall. After a few attempts, it’s clear she’s not able to climb high enough to grab a hand. Soon a group, some wearing the same team shirt and others not, begin to flatten themselves end to end up the side of the obstacle. The other runners wait to give them room. When the formation is high enough, the woman gingerly climbs up this human ladder where two men pull her over the top. The crowd—participants and spectators alike—cheers wildly as she stands at the top pumping her fists in the air like Rocky Balboa.

Sarah turns to me with a great smile spread across her face. Her eyes are a little misty. “That was amazing,” she says over the cheering. “I love this!”

 Post Mortem

The race now over, the members of Team Boom Factor have returned to their civilian lives and have perhaps spent some time drawing meaning from this experience beyond some catch phrase that can be stitched into a parlor pillow.

While it’s tempting to wax philosophical about things like camaraderie, mental toughness and the conquering of personal demons, it must be said that this experience, however daunting, is perhaps something our forbearers, who toiled in coal mines and lost limbs on battlefields, who birthed babies in tobacco fields and then finished out the work day, might say is frivolous. For what sort of a generation is it that equates this kind of personal risk and self-torture with recreational sport?

Mike Eaton swings across the monkey bar challenge.

Perhaps there is no answer to that question. Or maybe there are thousands of different answers, depending which Tough Mudder you ask. But one thing is certain: determining the value of the experience should be left to the individuals who endured it and not to those who observe from the sidelines.

Teddy Roosevelt put a bow on it when he said:

“It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man (or woman, Teddy!) in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

In the days since the race it’s clear that this particular group of valiant strivers has no plans to bask in the glory or rest their muscles for very long.  Several plan on doing the Tough Mudder again next year. Others have signed on for similar adventure races in the mean time, including The Spartan Beast, The Boston Ruckus and the Warrior Dash.

Says Allison Jones, “TM was truly the hardest thing I have ever done mentally or physically. It was such a high finishing that course. Now, I am even more motivated to continue to improve my fitness level so next year we can conquer the mountain again.“

Tired Yet?

APretty impressive.

In the future, as you’re going about the business of your daily life, if you happen to run into someone wearing an orange Tough Mudder headband or maybe the shirt, give that person a respectful nod and maybe even a “hoo-rah!” They’ve probably  earned it.

The Eric: The Workout No One Could Possibly Do

By Martha Hicks Leta

Eric Petersen loves training at Fitness Together in Norwell and it shows. A client since 2011, Eric completed the ten mile Tough Mudder adventure race with Team Boom Factor in May and within a week, while basking in the post-race delirium, signed on to run in the 13 mile Spartan Beast in September with FT Norwell Trainer Mike Eaton.

The 47 year old especially loves the social aspect of training and has made quite a few lasting friendships among clients and trainers alike. During any given Pack session, Petersen can be found waxing poetic about his favorite greasy foods while his fellow Pack members strain to complete their circuits. (Eric looks like Jack LaLane but eats like John Belushi and talks food like the fat guy stuck in a fit guy’s body that he his.) His favorite topic is sausage, particularly Santarpio’s sausage in East Boston as well as the hot dogs at Capitol Lunch in New Britain Connecticut. Not everyone enjoys listening to vivid descriptions of greasy food while struggling to keep their oatmeal down during a round of squat jumps, but Eric doesn’t care. He practically levitates while describing the gustatory delights of his favorite gut busters.

Eric loves training at Fitness Together in Norwell, but he kind of hates it, too.

He calls Mike Eaton “The Silent Assassin” and lately he’s taken to calling trainer Alicia Tasney, “Lucifer” or “Lucy” if he’s feeling too short of breath for the extra syllable. Sometimes, during an especially brutal workout, Eric will hide in a corner like a wounded coyote. “Get away from me, Lucy! I’m not talking to you,” he says to Alicia. “Walk away!”

But, says Tasney, Eric asks for it. Sometimes literally. Petersen arrived for a recent appointment and announced, “I’m giving you five minutes. Write a workout for me that no one could possibly do. Go.”

Never one to shrink from a challenge, Tasney wrote the workout and called it “The Eric.” This is the sweat stain left on the floor two-thirds of the way into the workout.


Rumor has it they’re thinking of having it permanently marked on the floor like a Hollywood Walk of Fame star: The FT Walk of Stain.

Some guys have sandwiches named after them, and who knows, perhaps somewhere there’s a Petersen Pepper Braunschweiger. Maybe there’s even an emblazoned sweat stain in his future, but for now Eric will have to be satisfied with having a workout named after him.

Give it a shot. Send me a photo of your sweat stain after and tell me what you think. marthaletaFT@aol.com
