Success Story
“To tell you the truth, it was not our intention to join the club after the challenge was over. It was a financial stretch for us to simply participate in the 90 Day Challenge. Besides, we already have a fully paid lifetime membership to another club. That being said, the 90 Day Challenge has had such a positive effect on our lives, my wife and I could not imagine walking away from this lifestyle. We chose the Big Vanilla because of all the people and relationships we had formed with them through the 90 Day. It is very comfortable now at the Big V. We not only know the trainers, instructors, and our team mates, but even the people at the front desk recognize us when we come in. They always say hello and goodbye to us. While that seems small, it's those little things that count. We are happy to be at the Big V!"

“Monday Feb. 2nd, 2009, the day the Winter '09 90-Day Challenge began, is the day my life changed forever. I signed up for what I thought was an exercise program and instead received a completely new lifestyle. The “Team” approach to individual goals has been an amazing experience. Focusing on participation and lifestyle change as opposed to simply dieting has been phenomenal. The support of my team, instructors, and staff at The Big V has been invaluable. With their help I now enjoy exercise classes I never would have attempted before.”
