“In my role as an academic leader, one of the most important reasons I had to get my fat behind across the alley to you was to be a better role model for the students, staff and faculty I am blessed to lead.  When you are dean of a school in a health-promoting profession, I think it is important to role model good health practices and outcomes.  I was a mess and not a good role model, and that was a major motivator that set me in motion.” – Dr. Evans lost a total of 105 pounds!’

“When I first started working out, it was all about vanity. Now I know, it is about much more than that.

In the years I have been at The Lab, I have come to understand that one can go thru the motions of working out and still not get significant results.  Proper form is so important. And, only by maintaining form, by pushing one’s self, or being pushed by a knowledgeable trainer, does one get real results.”
