Here is Regan's story:

Growing up I was an active kid and teenager. In college I exercised and walked KU's campus daily. I never had to worry about calories or diet. It was easy to be thin and fit. However, after college while working at a desk job, I put on about 25 pounds. I was unhappy and out of shape. When I got engaged in 2000 I was able to shed the extra pounds through diet and exercise. Unfortunately after the wedding the pounds crept on again. In 2006 we had our first daughter, 21 months later our second. At this point I was heavier than ever and struggling to get to a healthy and comfortable weight. I would work out but couldn't get a handle on my diet. Or I would eat well but not exercise. A few years ago while working out at Sylvester Powell I started seeing Shawna being trained by Darby and Shandi who I knew from Fusion. After watching the "crazy training sessions" for a few weeks I noticed a big difference in Shawna. She didn't just look thinner, she was also stronger and more confident. I would watch as I ran on the treadmill thinking "I wish someone would take me aside and train me like that. I wish I could do that". I thought that over and over well after Shawna's challenge was complete. This summer I ran into Shawna at the pool (divine intervention). I told her if she ever wanted to do a training group I'd be interested. A few weeks later the notice was posted about the bootcamp. Even though I wanted to do it more than anything I almost didn't do it. Honestly I thought, "No way. I'm not cut out for it." After lots of soul searching I made the commitment. 

I was terrified. Afraid of the hunger and the pain of the exercise. Terrified I'd quit. Over the past 10 years I've started a hundred diets and exercise programs and after a few weeks I usually quit. Despite all my fears and doubts about myself I completed the program. I lost 27 pounds in 12 weeks. While looking good in a pair of jeans is nice I've gained so much more! I am more fit than I've ever been. I have my confidence back. I have a piece of me back. It has been a total makeover both physically and emotionally. 

It was a "bucket list" experience.
