Testimonials from Our “Monarchs”
Like the butterfly of the same name, women who commit to the iGnite program undergo a metamorphosis as their bodies and spirits strengthen through exercise and inspiration. Below are the kind words of some of our most active Monarchs talking about how joining iGnite 3 to 5 days per week (the “unlimited plan”) has impacted their lives.
Louise Pincoffs
[iGnite] has been life changing in so many ways. I have stuck with this workout (#1) because of the precious friends I have made throughout the experience. (#2) It is never boring and I wake up looking forward to the day. (#3) I have explored and enjoyed more about Austin than I had in the previous 31 years I had been living here. ... Making that commitment has kept me more focused on it.
Cindy Haegelin
I never feel totally out of shape anymore. I have so much more stamina… I feel young and I know I will be able to keep up with my grandkids and they will not think I am old and grouchy. Also… I can swim!!… When you are tuned into your body, everything else seems to fall into place.
Janet Chastain
I signed up for the ‘unlimited’ plan for several reasons… I liked the flexibility, and the financial motivation helped (if I paid for 3x/week, then, by golly, I was going to go 3x/week). What surprised me was that I LOVED the workouts! Not one class has been the same as another.
Gretchen Huddleston
There’s no question that the Unlimited plan has allowed me to maintain a level of fitness beyond expectation, but more importantly the unlimited plan gives me permission to take care of myself every day. Because I can go every day, I am in the habit of protecting my morning time and the benefits are huge… I leave class with a noticeable lift every time.
Kathy Huffaker
I chose the unlimited plan to try to push myself to do more and also because of the price value… It is a wonderful way to start the day, it keeps me feeling strong and flexible. [All of the instructors] and all the women who iGnite inpire me to keep moving, to play and to love life!
Leslie McConnico
I like to try and exercise 4/5 days per week. I do not do well doing it on my own—except for walking the trail. With Ignite I don't have to think about what I need to be doing for exercise that day. I just go to class and don't have to think about trying to hit all my body parts and areas. It is there and all planned out for me whatever time works for me that day.
Margie Gaudin
I want to age with grace, and I realize that being strong and limber are two things that I cannot take for granted. What I like about Ignite is that it supports my goal of trying to be graceful. I don't really want to ‘get at it’ in the boot camp sense of the word. I want something enjoyable that is regular without being routine. Ignite does that.
Vickee Byrum
After a three year hiatus from exercise, my weight crept up and my body stiffened. [My massage therapist] said, ‘There is nothing I can do for you if you aren’t going to take care of yourself’… I have not only re-connected with my body, I’ve re-connected with Austin… [iGnite] ensures I work all of the muscle groups. The Unlimited Plan enables me to choose as many days as possible so that I can truly embrace a healthy lifestyle… I’m more 60 days in and over fifteen pounds lighter. Thank you Neissa!
Palmer Quaroni
I joined ignite because I needed to shake things up… I had been doing the same old workout and had lost my motivation… Ignite has probably had the single greatest impact on my health. It pushes me out of my comfort zone, gives me a full workout—stretching, strength and cardio—in the most efficient way.
