fernando says it saved my life.

Fernando Reyes grew up fit. He was a basketball player and, later, an amateur boxer. But like many people, when he started working and building a family, exercise went by the wayside. A few years later, he ran into a friend from college he hadn’t seen in years. He says his friend was “shocked” to see that he had gained 60 pounds since leaving school and getting married and reintroduced him to the gym. Now he’s back in shape, works out four or five times a week at 24 Hour Fitness and says, “I am addicted to working out and love the way I feel. I have not reached my personal goals, but I know it is only a matter of time before I get there.” As far as the buddy who got him started in the first place, he says, “I truly believe my friend saved my life.”
