The Story of Jimmy...

Dramatic weight loss is something that happens to those people on TV, right? Not true. Right here at The Crest we have our own success story.

Jimmy Gallagher has transformed his physique, his lifestyle and his overall outlook on life. Tipping the scales at 342 lbs. in Nov. 2002 after his wife passed away 5 years prior, he withdrew from society, found a friend in butter and beer and ate to hide his pain. That day in November he threw everything out of his refrigerator and replaced it with healthy food. 

But just eating right wasn't enough to maintain a healthy body, Jimmy learned that knowledge of nutrition, cardio exercise and weight training were all essential components of dropping the weight and keeping it off for the rest of his life.  When Jimmy came to us here at the Crest, he had lost a significant amount of weight but really had no proper knowledge of how to train.  He wasn't maximizing his efforts and was afraid that all the work he'd done would be futile. 

We taught Jimmy the proper way to workout, the importance of cardio and weight training and as you can see in the pictures, and he has had amazing results.  To date he has lost over 140 lbs and is building a better body everyday. He is remarried and now has a new son named Ryan. 

You can find Jimmy here at the Crest just about everyday.  He is now a certified personal trainer working part time here for us and is eager to share his experience and help others who may have fallen into the abyss of the obese.  C'mon down and say hello to Jimmy.

Our goal at The Crest is to get everyone in the Wilmington community on the right track to a healthier living so we can all get the most out of life.
