"I have been shouting from the rooftops about GHF. I've gotten so many comments about how my body has really CHANGED, not just losing fat, but everything. I had knee surgery in March, but I am coming back with a vengeance. April is MINE, I'm going all-out for results, still going a little easy on the knee, as it is not quite 100%, but getting there. I pushed the chest workout last night and it was GREAT!

Thanks for the constant inspiration, advice, and support! I love you guys. I have great progress to report! I have dropped a clothing size and about 11 pounds on the scale - but even better, I can see my body fat melting away! The GHF eating plan is wonderful, and the workouts are great, but together they are truly fantastic! It is getting easier and easier. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me - I worked so hard before with
minimal results.

Chad, thank you so much for reviewing my diet and making some recommendations for change; all were implemented are very effective. I don't get cravings any more and always feel good about my meals. It gets easier to make the right choices every time.

Dani, your support, coaching, and recommendations on the workouts have been solid. I am seeing shaping and toning in my body that I could have never imagined. I worked out with my trainer last week, and she commented on the changes - and my excellent form throughout the workout. Thank you!

GHF is the best, and I tried the rest. There is no comparison! I hope others that are skeptical will take a chance and sign up for this excellent program, including the diet. It will change their lives!"

"Looking in to the mirror one morning (about 3 months ago), I discovered that I indeed wasn't the thin, fit person I thought I was. I was becoming fat and lazy. I'd gotten to the point where I just wasn't happy with the way I looked, but I didn't know what to do about it. I knew that I had to do something – and soon – before it got even worse.

My quest started by running a search for "personal online trainer" and I ended up coming across several websites. Surely there would be a "half-way decent" website out there somewhere. In an attempt to figure out which one would be the best for me I sent e-mails to the websites I was interested in, and asked for more information. Chad quickly replied within an hour with a personal e-mail. After exchanging a couple of e-mails I realized that Global Health & Fitness was exactly the service I was looking for, with complete nutritional, exercise and fitness programs that were custom-tailored to each members goals. I've done exercise programs before, but was never confident that I was doing everything properly.

I signed up and subsequently filled out their questionnaire providing information about where I was now and my personal goals, the time and equipment I had available, etc. I was determined, I was motivated, and my GHF personal trainer sent me a link to GHF's 12 week Fitness Challenge. Surely these past contest winners were the exception, not the rule, right? There was no way I could make that sort of incredible transformation.

The GHF staff assured me that I could achieve outstanding results, similar to those seen on their website, by using their personalized services and programs developed by their impressive fitness professionals. I decided I'd give it a shot. Why not, what did I have to lose?

I took pictures of myself and filled out my Before Materials Application. After having my bodyfat tested and seeing my photos, I became very discouraged, and disappointed. However, instead of letting this get me down I just let it fuel my energy. This is not who I was, I had to make a change before it was too late. I was skeptical about staying on such a program, but excited at the same time.

I purchased a Bowflex out of the local newspaper, determined that I would be successful. There were definitely difficulties, complications and obstacles. It wasn't all fun and games. Bad knees and a recurring back injury prevented me from jogging or jumping rope for my cardio. I settled on purchasing a mountain bike for my cardio. I never once stepped foot in to a gym. All of my strength training sessions were done on a Bowflex using the Global Health & Fitness ProTrack software, and workout schedules that I downloaded from the website.

With the timely advice from very own online personal trainer, Dani Myers, and variety of their other experts, I stuck to it, and even began to enjoy and look forward to every minute of my workouts. From the beginning of the contest, I've lost 45 pounds of fat, and put on 18 pounds of lean body mass. I went from 33% bodyfat to just 15% body fat in less then 12 weeks!!

I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I feel great and have more energy then I could have ever imagined. The compliments I receive on my physique are humbling, and I can't help but tell everyone about Global Health & Fitness (GHF). I owe my gratitude to GHF and their team of professionals. I wouldn't have been able to do it without their amazing help and guidance! This 12-week Fitness Challenge has definitely helped serve as an inspiration to me. I write this, not so much hoping that I will win this contest, as much as truly hoping that I can serve as in inspiration to others."

"I am totally thrilled with my Global Health and Fitness membership. I was using a personal trainer in a gym three times a week for 5 months at several hundreds of dollars a month. Now, for less than $20 a month I can have the same personal guidance, but not with just one personal trainer, but with 30 different experts, as well as full access to all of their programs and software - and I don't even have to drive to the gym!

I have kept the same 3 times a week schedule but I am now doing the workout out of my home, using your General Fitness programs. I had an exercise room in my home for over 10 years but never used it regularly. I didn't have any goals or programs to follow. Your workout programs have been absolutely wonderful and I'm so excited about the results I'm achieving! I just started Phase 1 three weeks ago and I always look forward to my next workout. The workouts are very well designed, and if I stretch properly in between sets as you recommended, I actually feel a lot better the days that I work out.

In the three weeks that I have been a Global Health and Fitness member, I have learned so much more about strength training than in 5 months with my previous personal trainer (that I spent a fortune on). Most gym personal trainers seem to like uninformed clients. They probably see that as a way to keep them coming back. But they are wrong. Knowledge gives you the control and motivation that you need to keep working out!! All your programs, online books and videos, and your obvious desire to educate your clients, are so rare in the fitness industry and so wonderful! I am no longer just going through the motions with a personal trainer. And I'm already well on my way to achieving my goals!

I would like to thank you for getting me so excited about working out, and for helping me look and feel my best. I don't think I ever have to worry about not exercising regularly anymore. I am hooked!"

Catherine Wright cwright@accessdevelopment.net


"The GHF Online Fitness Program has worked wonders for me. With the help of
Chad and all of his excellent staff, I went from 31% bodyfat a few years ago, to 7% bodyfat today!! Any question you have, any time of day or night, you can email GHF's very knowledgeable experts and get a response back within 24 hours (usually within an hour or two).

They give you the knowledge and support you need to succeed. To get all the knowledge that I've gained through membership, I would have had to read dozens of books and hire a personal trainer and several other experts to consult with me...which would have cost ten times the money. The results you get are priceless!

This is not some diet/workout routine that causes you to lose weight just to gain it back again. This is step-by-step, personalize advice from real-life experts for incredible, long-term results! I can't tell you how thrilled I am to finally reach my dream body that I've always wanted and I am so thankful that I joined your program. You guys are the best!!"

"I recently competed in the first 12-week fitness contest held by GHF. I am currently 29 years old and married with a small child. I was really feeling horrible about myself and what the future might hold for me and my physical health. I had tried to lose weight many times in the past (just like the majority of people who are reading this).

When I first joined GHF's online fitness program and started their fitness contest I weighed 248 lbs. and had 19.7% bodyfat. My initial 12-week goals were to lose 25 lbs. and 6% bodyfat. I was both nervous and anxious to see if I could reach these goals. I can't really put into words what happened, but I had a major shift in my mindset about losing weight. The contest was still a great motivator, but I simply decided that I would lose the weight and keep it off because I wanted to.

I worked very closely with the GHF staff to set up my customized workout programs (for both weights and cardio) and dietary needs (to make sure that I maintained as much lean muscle mass as possible, while losing excess bodyfat). Now it was up to me. I got down to 225 lbs. and 13.2% bodyfat. I was so excited that I had reached my goals and honestly couldn't believe that I actually really did it. However, I accomplished my 12-week goal in just 6 weeks! I still had 6 more weeks to go.

So, I reevaluated my goals and reset them to get down to 210 lbs. at 10% bodyfat for the full 12 weeks. If I was successful in achieving this goal, I would be in the best physical health I had ever been in my entire life. With the weekly motivation and newsletter e-mails and personal guidance from GHF, as well as all the excellent programs, I was totally focused. And I am very please to say that at the end of the 12-week contest I weighed 208 lbs. at just 6.6% bodyfat!! With the help of GHF, in just 12 weeks, I had lost 40 lbs. and reduced by bodyfat by 13% and was named one of the winners of their fitness contest. Thanks a lot GHF!"

"After many attempts at trying to stay motivated with a weightlifting and cardio program, I realized that I had two major problems that needed to be overcome. First, I was always in doubt whether the weightlifting/cardio program I designed was the most effective for my goals. Secondly, I did not have confidence that my technique was correct. As I sped towards 40 years old, the risk of injury due to small flaws in technique seemed magnified. I am a self-motivated person, and did not feel I needed a day to day instructor or trainer, but I did need professional fitness expertise and advice.

GHF was the answer to my problems. Their customized programs coupled with specific, personalized advice from a variety of GHF experts allowed me to develop a program that was targeted towards my fitness goals and tailored to my fitness level, time availability, my home gym, etc. The written description of how to perform each exercise coupled with the video clips of GHF experts performing the exercise gave me the confidence that I could master the correct techniques.

This alone was enough value to be very satisfied with membership. Fortunately, there is much, MUCH more. They also offer detailed customized diet plans, various motivational techniques, stretching techniques and advice on every muscle group, educational tools on the muscle groups of the body, cardiovascular training techniques and instructions, work out plans for when you travel and a gym is not available, FREE software that allows you to track your progress on both the nutritional and exercise components of your customized health plan, and many more services that I still need to explore.

What sets GHF apart is their intense focus on customer service. I have used the GHF experts for advice on dieting, explanation of a shoulder injury and general fitness issues. A response to my question is always received within 24 hours and often within the hour that I send them. Many times the communication will come directly from GHF's founder, Chad Tackett, who stays very involved with his clients. The online aspect of GHF is simply the front end of an outstanding organization that is there for its customers always.

Did their diet and exercise programs and personal recommendations actually work? Yes - absolutely! At 6'5" tall, I started the program at a weight of 255 pounds with 33%+ body fat. I am currently 220 pounds with 15% body fat and muscle tone that I have not seen since I was 25. My end goal of 205-210 is within sight, and I am sure I will achieve the goal with the use of GHF's online service. I strongly recommend GHF to friends and family without hesitation! Thanks for everything GHF!!"

David rayneva@comcast.net


"Hi Chad! I've been using your new GHF Customized Diet Plan nutrition plan now for 2 weeks and what AMAZING results!! I've dropped a dress size already. I'm very tiny - only 5'2" and 110 lbs. and went from a size 4 into a size 2! I finally can see my 6-pack abs and a lot more muscle definition! I thought you would want to hear of someone's success story from this incredible nutrition plan already. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you and your staff. It seems so little to say for all you've done for me!"

Kathy Harcup Kathy.Harcup@dowjones.com


"I would just like to say thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm back on track and feeling like my old, fit self again. I am seeing changes in my body and the way I feel that I am really enjoying. I was on your program through college and my training with cheerleading, and then graduated, and still worked out, but not as intensely and eventually started to get soft which made me feel not so great about myself because I knew the potential I had to have a great body.

When I met my husband, he was so impressed by my muscle tone and lack of fat content. I want to show him that I am capable of continuing to be that way. I did get soft for a while, and was not happy with my body composition, but I can see - after just 3 and a half weeks - that my body is starting to firm up very nicely. I don't feel deprived throughout the day and actually am eating more than I did before, thanks to all your wonderful, very effective nutrition recommendations and meal plans.

I am feeling great and the programs really keep me on track and motivated because I make sure that I get all three workouts in a week, and supplement with cardio whenever possible. I put on a pair of pants today that hardly fit last week, but fit wonderfully today. It really makes me feel good about myself and I am so appreciative of all your personal guidance. Thanks again, I will be a member or your great program for life!!"

"Prior to joining GHF, I weighed as much as I had 14 years earlier when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. I also had fibromyalgia and spent sleepless nights suffering from chronic back pain. I tried to keep up with our family's active lifestyle but found myself begging off more often than not. I looked -- and felt -- middle-aged. I couldn't run the 1/2-mile loop around the local park; even a short walk around the block left me winded. In addition, my hands hurt so badly that I could not open a jar.

Fortunately, I came across the Global Health & Fitness website. Here was a program I could fit into my life. They offered the personalized support and programs I needed to make fitness a way of life. This is exactly what I wanted! Shortly after becoming a GHF member, I made the following 6-month goals: to make new healthy habits, to lose fat and add lean muscle, and to improve my cardiovascular fitness.

I began following the Global Health & Fitness teachings and committed myself to working out 3-5 times a week and gradually changed my diet, becoming more conscience of my protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake. Gradually, I started seeing the difference in how I felt and looked. The fat -- 24 pounds of it -- was finally coming off. Clothes that I had not worn for years came out of the back recesses of the closet. At a church dinner someone mistook me for being my son's sister, not his mother.

Thanks to GHF's program, I am now able to do things I've never done or haven't done for years. I can ski all day or run 5 miles without stopping. I can participate in an hour-long cycling class and challenge myself throughout the exercise. I even backpacked a 19-mile trip this summer in the Sawtooth National Forest. These activities were impossible for me before.

The GHF program gave me a goal and a vision on which to keep my focus. The Monday Motivation gave me a weekly boost and reminder of the journey that I was on. The customized exercise programs gave me a place to start and build my workouts. And their personal fitness consulting assured that I was maximizing my time and efforts. Thanks so much for everything GHF!"

"I just wanted to e-mail you my thanks and appreciation for your amazing programme. I reached my three month goal today and am very excited! When I first joined I told you that I'd like to write a brief testimonial when I got there, so I hope the following is of interest. My appreciation is very genuine...

Three months ago I was 18% bodyfat and today I reached my goal of 'single digits' at 9%. During that time I also built my cardiovascular fitness significantly (I could run for 20 minutes at 10kph when I started, now I run 45 minutes at 13kph, without any breaks), I didn't loose any muscle, and I actually increased my weightlifting strength a little too. The programme you offered was very healthy, I ate well, felt comfortable and always had lots of energy. The learning's about nutrition and metabolism I took from the programme are life skills that I'll use forever.

What amazed me was that before I started with your program I thought that at age 34 I just had to "get used" to being out of shape because there wasn't going to be anything I could do about it. That turned out to be completely wrong. Many thanks once again for everything you've done for me. Your company is incredible and I'm so glad I finally joined your programme!"

Andrew Tokyo ready@globalnet.co.uk


"Global Health and Fitness is the very best thing that I have ever done! People outside the US, please don't let the exchange rate turn you away! The programs are easy to implement and very effective. They are varied to prevent boredom and 'shock' your muscles continually by doing different exercises and techniques.

I had a discectomy in June of 2000 at level L4-5. I also found out I have degenerative disc disease at L3-4. I knew that I had to get my butt in gear and do something before I ended up a total wreck. September 6, 2000, I joined the local gym doing my physical therapy. I received a work out from a trainer and okayed it with my therapist. I quickly became tired of this modified routine. I wanted more.

A friend told me about GHF. That was October 19, 2000. Then entered Dani into my fitness life and it's been all fun and results ever since! I started at Phase 2 of the General fitness program. My lean muscle mass has increased while my fat decreased (32% down to 26%). And I've lost inches, more than 8 total, from Oct. 3, 2000 to Jan. 31, 2001. Today, May 28, 2001, I weigh in at 131 lbs, my fat is at 22% and total inches lost is just over 12!

Again, I would like to thank Dani and all those who created GHF and have personally helped me achieve more than I ever thought was possible. It's great, the service is quick and you guys are always right on the money with your advice."

Sandra Fenske lsfenske@vennercs.com


"Greetings, Dani. I have been plugging away on my exercise program. This week I am beginning the 9th week of the second phase of your Strength and Power program. So far, I haven't missed a single workout. I am pleased with my progress because I have gained about 15lbs of solid muscle. Also, overall strength gains have been substantial. My thighs, chest, arms, shoulders, and glutes are the areas where I've increased the most size and strength. But even my back and calves have grown to a noticeable extent.

So I want to thank you, Dani, for encouraging me to take on the most challenging option from the Customized Programs and how to master it for the best results. I first thought it would be a bit too intense to undertake at my age, but not so. I feel good and am still making incredible gains in strength and size. Although I have reached my initial goal of gaining 15 lbs, I now want to strive for more. My next goal is an additional gain of 10 to 15lbs of muscle gain. Thanks a million for all your wonderful advice and for helping me get the most out of your truly amazing program!!"

Ed Price ed_l_price@msn.com


"I have to congratulate Global Health & Fitness for giving me the motivation and the support in getting back in shape at the age of 42. Chad was instrumental in my success by keeping up with my progress, keeping me motivated while providing me the killer workouts and dietary information throughout the 6-month fitness contest. You couldn't ask for better service and professionalism with the whole Global Health & Fitness program.

In the last 6 months of their fitness contest, while on their very effective program, I lost almost 8% bodyfat, added 90 pounds to both my bench press and squats exercise, and just won 2nd place in an all-natural bodybuilding contest! And as the 2nd place winner of a $1500 shopping spree in GHF's 6-month fitness contest, I was able to purchase Star Trac's Pro 5430 Recumbent bike that I was never able to afford. Now I'll never get out of shape again!

For those of you who are thinking about an online trainer, you can't beat it! Where else can you get this kind of support with 24 certified professional at your fingertips who are ready and willing to help you with all your questions and put you on the right track to reaching your goals? You won't find this quality of professionals and the available information at any gym or personal training facility.

For almost the cost of one session with a personal trainer, members receive very effective customized programs, unlimited consulting, fitness software, online books and hundreds of exercise instructions and video demo's, and so much more. You can't beat the value of this program; it's truly amazing! Don't wait! Join today, you will be so glad you did. Global Health & Fitness, thank you so much and keep up the great work!"

Brent Van Pelt brent@velocitus.net


"Thank you Chad and the rest of the wonderful GHF staff for helping a 44 year old that had taken all the wrong turns, get turned around and make some real progress. I was doing all the wrong things - eating too much, drinking, smoking, you name it - I was doing it. I was looking for a program that would help me get myself moving again. I needed something simple to follow, with lots of personal attention, and found it with Global Health and Fitness.

I was skeptical at first about their promises of unlimited personal consulting - you never know what you'll find on the internet. What I HAVE found is not only a simple and complete exercise program, but truly personal guidance every step of the way! I sent several emails with questions about exercises, diet, etc. and to this day still receive prompt, helpful, and useful responses from the GHF staff. All of your experts have been awesome. When I was having trouble getting going, Chad suggested that I try the GHF Motivational Success System, which was exactly what I needed.

I've tried them all - have a shelf full of self-help books and tapes, but I seriously found your program to be absolutely perfect. The way Dr. Smoot helps to put your thoughts in perspective really hit home, and made the difference in me finally getting moving. After a short time on the program, I've dropped 10 pounds and have increased my energy by leaps and bounds. I'm going to lose 27 more pounds by May 1st (want to look better around the pool for my oldest son's graduation party), and with this program and the individual tutoring I'm getting, I am confident that I WILL get there. Thanks Chad, Dr. Smoot, and the rest of GHF for truly making a difference in my life."

"One of the key features of a successful training or diet program is record keeping. Over the years I have used many methods. There are several record-keeping programs available for strength training, but none, to my knowledge, offers the variety and sequence of Protrack 2005. The new edition is an improvement over 99 and it more than justifies the annual subscription.

Further, Global Fitness has more than lived up to its promise of customization. The responses to my questions have been detailed, thoughtful, and accurate and clearly personalized. I have recommended the ProTrack software to a number of friends and use it in my four times a week routine. Normally, I never write testimonials, but this is a very good product, vastly superior to other online fitness programs I have investigated. GHF membership is well worth the investment of time and money and I highly recommend becoming a member to everyone!"

Clifford C. Dacso, MD cdacso@mindspring.com


"I started with the diet plan and my own strength training program. The change in my diet has lasted now for about 2.5 months. About 7 weeks ago I realized that I needed to follow your strength training program also. It has been wonderful. I am currently doing the bodybuilding 4 day a week program and I am very happy with the results.

Currently I have lost 20+ pounds, but more importantly I have changed my body's composition. My clothes fit better or in most cases looser, I like what I see in the mirror more, and I feel I am a great role model for my children to work out and take care of their bodies. It is a struggle to stay as consistent as possible with my diet. I find that at work (I'm a firefighter with strange hours and busy days) it is the hardest. But you've made it so much easier and I appreciate everything you've done for me! I have told all my friends about you site and they are stoked to see my results."

Sean Burrows efdmedic@yahoo.com


"I'm a mother of four very active sons, ages 14, 12, 7, and 3Ѕ. Prior to joining Global Health and Fitness, I weighed 153 pounds and I was so embarrassed of how much I weighed that I knew I had to do something. My body had so many aches and pains. I slept fitfully, my ankles would swell up, and I would get headaches daily.

At one point, I "bit the bullet" and joined a local fitness center. I soon lost several pounds, but I was doing the same thing every other day and not seeing any real results in terms of my muscle tone. I was at a loss about what to do to change my body composition. I felt I had reached a plateau.

Then I decided to surf the web for information on exercise and weight management and I came across Global Health and Fitness. At first I was very skeptical about the whole thing and decided to try out the Beginner, Phase I workout. I was hooked! I continued for 2 months and was so excited about seeing results that I signed up with Global Health and Fitness. I soon received my newsletter with all the Fit Tips and I downloaded the Protrack software, which has kept my eating in line. I was interested in knowing more about weightlifting and I just loved all the compliments I was getting. I decided to enter the fitness challenge.

Before I started the Global Health and Fitness program, I would yo-yo diet and just regain the weight I had lost plus extra pounds. Lack of exercise and extra pounds were depressing me and that made my family life uncomfortable. Global Health and Fitness has helped me see that exercise and healthier eating habits are a permanent lifestyle change.

I hadn't really challenged myself since I was in high school and I was determined to follow through with this. I was always active in sports when I was a teen and felt that I could find that person somewhere inside of me again. When I didn't understand how to do an exercise correctly, I would just log in to GHF and snap! I could look at the video demonstration of how the exercise should be executed. If I had a problem with a lagging muscle, I would simply email for help and I would quickly get a response to my question. GHF has provided me with updated workout plans when I reach a plateau.

This was better than I ever hoped for! Global Health and Fitness was making it easy for me to stick to my routine and change it when I needed to. I received information on how to lose my body fat without losing the muscle I had worked so hard for. This was a boon and a wonderful supplement to all the other information that I was receiving from GHF.

I could never have guessed at all the good information I have received about nutrition and how it all works in order to lose body fat. I found I had no idea how to prepare "healthy" meals for my family. I now use the recipes from Global Health and Fitness for my family - my husband and sons can't believe that it can be so good! GHF has become my one-stop source for eating right and healthful tips.

I love it that I now have the energy to play soccer with my sons and not beg off that I'm too tired. I can actually cross my legs now, and bending over to give my small sons a bath doesn't hurt my lower back anymore. I'm proud to say that I don't get those depressing comments anymore, "So when are you expecting?" and my knowing all the time that I was just overweight. I'm an actual participant in my family's outings to go camping and trail blazing, something I couldn't do before joining GH F. I'm 5'1" and 118 pounds and all muscle. I feel like the real me is living now.

Thank you, Chad, Dani, and all the Global Health and Fitness staff for your quick responses and helpful information to all my questions. I love my new physique and I now have a positive self-image of myself and feel more confident when I walk into a room full of people. I couldn't have done it without all the extra effort of Global Health and Fitness."

"Thanks so much for the help with the food plan. It's really paying off. I took my body fat measurement last week and it was 25.7%!!! I can't believe it!! Not too long ago I was 33%! I wanted to get down to 25%, and that's totally doable now. Now my goal is 20%. I always wanted a body like the figure competitors, and I think it's actually possible. I've seen more definition in my arms, and my stomach is getting flatter. I can't believe it!

Then hardest part for me is to stay motivated. I battle depression (I'm on meds, but they don't seem to be working these days) and getting out bed is a HUGE feat! But achieving great results with my program is really helping and I absolutely LOVE your program!"

"Dear Dani and GHF team, I am now in the 6th week of the wonderful program you recommended for me. I have already lost 10 lbs. of fat, gained strength and muscle, and really toned up. All your personal advice, customized programs, and exercise video demonstrations have really helped me to succeed. I am so excited!

I was so fed up with not achieving the results I was after and continually gained weight. I was very frustrated and ready to give up. I then found your incredible site and thought I would give your online fitness program a try. It was honestly the best thing I have ever done!

GHF is absolutely fantastic and so easy to follow at home along with my treadmill and free weight equipment. By following your program and always receiving very detailed, prompt advice from your experts, it's like having my very own fitness trainer in my home - and a whole lot cheaper.

I strongly recommend GHF to everyone, especially those looking to get the very best results in the shortest period of time. Your entire staff and program have been excellent - I just wish I had joined a lot sooner. Oh well, at least now I'm finally achieving my fitness goals! Thanks again Dani and everyone at GHF!"

"Since signing up at Global Health and Fitness three months ago I have already lost 40 pounds and dropped my body fat from 20% to 12%! I have also significantly increased my strength, muscle size, and tone. I have never felt better or had more energy. People everywhere are coming up to me and saying, "You look great, what have you been doing?" I really have to give a lot of the credit to Chad Tackett and the rest of the Global Health and Fitness team!

The support and motivation I have received from them has been absolutely incredible! When I first started, Chad helped me choose a very effective weight training program and a diet that would fit my schedule and help me reach my fitness goals. He also helped me understand the importance of a good cardio routine and offered suggestions for making my workouts a lot more effective.

The amount of information available at the web site and the prompt replies that I've received to all my questions from their experts is unbelievable. It's like having a personal trainer with you 24 hours a day just waiting to answer your every fitness question. And following their weight training programs are so simple, yet very effective. Before joining Global Health and Fitness I hadn't really touched any weights since High School, but it was easy to get started again because each workout is clearly laid out. And each exercise also has step-by-step instructions and if you still need help with proper technique, there is an online video demonstration as well.

Your program is so great and it really does work. The results I've seen after only the first 12 weeks are incredible! I can't wait to get started on the next 12 weeks. The excellent support and all the wonderful programs and tools make Global Health and Fitness well worth the small price of membership. I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in improving his or her overall fitness to join your program. Thank you for everything and keep up the good work!"

"I must admit that all the guidelines, tips, and techniques provided by the GHF Customized Diet Plan are excellent!

I have always been a health-conscious eater, but after implementing the principles of the GHF Customized Diet Plan, along with your personal recommendations, I have experienced excellent, measurable results in a very short time."

A week later Michael writes….

"It's been a week since my last update, and I am very pleased to say that my success with this great nutrition plan continues. With each passing day, I am able to tune the GHF Customized Diet Plan to my individual needs and nutritional demands. I have had an abundance of energy, increased strength, and I just keep getting leaner. Thank you!"

Michael DeSimone desimon@us.ibm.com


"For me, it all started just over two years ago when I realized I was not the "thin" woman that I used to be nor was I the thin woman I thought of myself as being. I had changed jobs from a very active physical one to one where I sat in front of the computer 8 hours a day. My doctor had put me on a medication for some female problems, with one side effect being weight gain. I had just passed my 31st birthday, and I had crept up to 145 lbs and 30% body fat before I realized it.

My first mission was weight loss. I started by going to the gym where I had paid dues for several years but had only been a handful of times. For the past two years I had been doing strength-training with sporadic cardio workouts, and I was feeling pretty good about myself, as I was down to 135lbs and 25.79% body fat. But I still had that last little hump that I needed to get over. I continually struggled with my cardio workout as it was always the first thing that I cut from my day and the last thing I wanted to get out of bed for.

But then I found global-fitness.com, joined their online fitness program, and hooked up with one of their wonderful experts, Dani Myers. I was never so glad to "meet" someone in my whole life. What a godsend!

I never realized how ignorant I was about nutrition until I joined GHF. I learned so much! And the workouts were designed to very easy to do on my own...and extremely effective! There is just so much knowledge on the GHF website, and I love all the personal support and guidance. The GHF site is by far the easiest to get around, and most of the programs, resources, and experts at your fingertips, 24 hours a day.

So my new mission was to enter GHF's 12-week fitness contest and get between 16-18% body fat. With the Dani's help via GHF, I planned my strategy. I would continue with my 3 day/week strength-training, do a regular cardio workout 3 hrs/week, and modify my diet. I took my before pictures and I forged ahead. I noticed changes in my body very quickly and at the 6-week mark, I had dropped to 122 lbs and 20.16 % body fat -13 lbs and 5% in 6 weeks! It was just mind-boggling to me that I could make these kind of changes so quickly. I couldn't wait to see what the next 6 weeks would hold.

I was actually getting these little lines in my stomach (a dream come true). I checked my body fat and weight weekly to make sure that my lean muscle mass was not dropping and that it was just fat that was decreasing. At the end of 12 weeks, I had achieved my goal: 17.3% body fat and 115 lbs. I lost a total of 20lbs & 8.5% of fat. I have never felt this fit or healthy in my life, ever. People in my office building keep stopping me and asking me how I made these dramatic changes and I'm always happy to tell my story. I had two people in one week refer to me as an athlete (I had always thought of myself as an indoor girl) - what a compliment!

I am going to keep my hard-earned body and I'm happy and confident that GHF is there to help me do it. Thank you, GHF, for everything, I really appreciate your wonderful web site and all the wonderful programs, knowledge and support! And a very special thanks to GHF's Exercise Expert, Dani Myers, who helped me be the best me I can be."

"Good Afternoon, Dani! Well, this is my last week on the 4 days a week, Phase 3, Intermediate Bodybuilding program. I must say, I've definitely received the results that I so desperately wanted! When you placed me on this 12- week program in January, I was 152 pounds and 24% body fat, with very little muscle tone and definition. The last time I checked, which was a little over a month ago, I was 146 pounds, 18% body fat, with excellent muscle definition and tone. Thanks so much for all your wonderful help! This has been an awesome program for me and I'll definitely recommend it to all my friends."

"When I first learned about the Global-Fitness.com online fitness program I thought, 'That's great, but it's not really something for me.' I have always been thin and never struggled with weight loss; instead, the biggest struggle I have had is keeping the weight on! Even though I have always been thin and very active in sports, I have never been completely confident with my appearance. I knew if I really ate a lot, I could probably gain a little weight, but I was not interested in doing so if it just meant I would increase my body fat and not necessarily improve my physical appearance.

After much thought, I contacted Chad at Global-Fitness.com and asked him if he could help me gain weight (muscle) while decreasing my body fat percentage. I received an immediate response and decide to join. Chad set me up on a 'bodybuilding' program, and encouraged me to consult with their 'Nutritional Supplement Expert' for supplement recommendations - products that were right for me.

Being six feet tall and weighing only 156 pounds, I desperately wanted to increase my weight without adding unnecessary body fat. I have always been physically active and lifted weights occasionally, but I have never followed a weight lifting program, personalized nutrition plan, or taken any nutritional supplements. I knew that it would be difficult to increase my body weight while eating healthy, low-fat foods and exercising regularly, but I had complete faith in the recommendations from Chad and the rest of their experts.

The program that Chad set up for me was a four-day per week bodybuilding program in addition to regular cardiovascular workouts, as well as nutritional recommendations that were specifically for me and my goals.

Anytime I needed advice or just encouragement, Chad and his experts responded quickly and were always there to support me in my endeavor.

After just a few weeks, I started to notice an increase in my strength and I also noticed improvements in my basketball game - an unexpected, but welcome benefit from my new fitness routine. By six weeks into my program, I was already noticing significant changes. I had gained four pounds of muscle and not only was I feeling much stronger, I looked a lot more toned and muscular, and my energy level had increased dramatically. This was just the kind of motivation that I needed to keep me excited about my program. Chad's continuing advice, nutritional recommendations and the Monday motivation's were very beneficial throughout my program.

When I received my twelve-week photos I was shocked; I couldn't believe that was actually a picture of me! Upon starting, I weighed 156 pounds and my body fat percentage was 11.5%. During the course of the twelve weeks, I was able to increase my lean muscle weight by more than 15 pounds and decrease my body fat by 3%! I now weigh 166 pounds and my body fat percentage is 8%!

Chad and the Global-Fitness.com experts have helped me transform my body into the strong and muscular body that I truly never thought I could have! I have improved my overall health, my appearance, and I feel great about my achievements; my confidence level is at an all-time high and I have never felt better! Global-Fitness.com helped me make a life-change! I owe this to Chad and his expertise and all the personal guidance I received from his team. I strongly recommend their online fitness program to everyone!"

Seven months later, Jamin writes...

"A few years ago I had asked you some questions regarding increasing my vertical jumping ability. You had given me a lot of helpful information explaining the jumping was more than just increasing leg strength, but rather I should focus on the whole body.

It has now been almost one year since I started really using your programs with dedication. In the last few months I have noticed a dramatic increase in my vertical jumping ability, which I attribute directly to the workout regimen that you have outlined for me. I have seen my vertical jump increase by just short of 3" in the last few months!

I just wanted to say thanks once again and to let you know (even though I know that you are well aware of it) that the programs that you have designed and spent the last four or five years devoting your life to have provided, and will continue to provide, life changes for any individual willing to dedicate themselves to your recommendations and guidance. I am amazed at the continued improvements that I see in my strength, size and tone.

I have said it before and I will continue to say it, I feel sorry for those people who have yet to discover Global Fitness. If only they knew that there is a program out there that will work, it will help them make the improvements in their life that they so desperately want to achieve and it will be a life change and not a temporary fix like so many of the other "gimmicks" out there (one that comes to mind for some reason is the 'Hollywood Diet' or maybe its the 'Atkins Diet' or is it 'Sugar Busters'). Thanks again so very much!"

Jamin May jamin_May@rsmi.com


"I just wanted to say thank you for showing me an incredible way to workout without the plateaus or non-response my body gives me from lifting the same way each time. Your easy-to-follow routines are great! I always look forward to using them, which makes my workouts even more productive. This has got to be the best $50 I've ever spent!

I had been working out for a few years before GHF and I never got the feeling afterwards that I get now. With your program, I actually had to decrease the amount of weight I use for each exercise, and I'm now getting a much better "pump" than ever before. My muscles feel like they are pushing their limits when I'm done.

Plus I've gotten more definition than I ever had since I began lifting 3 years ago....AND I'VE ONLY BEEN ON YOUR PROGRAM THREE MONTHS!! All in all, weightlifting-wise, cardiovascular-wise, and nutrition-wise, your program is by far the VERY BEST! You've got me as a member for life, I assure you! Thanks again for all you do!"

"Thank you Global Health & Fitness for all your help and support with all of my fitness success! I entered the Fortified Evolution 2000 fitness contest and won my category, thanks to your incredible online fitness program. I've achieved so much as a result of using your customized programs; I really saw my body transform just six weeks into the contest.

I'm also cooking a lot more, thanks to the great healthy recipes and shopping and cooking suggestions that you provide members. I owe so much of my success to your amazing team of experts and all the wonderful resources you offer online. Anytime I had a question regarding the exercise and nutrition program you recommended for me, you were so prompt in replying to me. I was totally surprised at how fast I received your advice - and very impressed by the quality and detail of all your expert's replies.

When I started the contest 12 weeks ago my body fat was more than 18%, but now it is below 15% and my strength has improved dramatically. I was bench pressing 80 pounds 12 weeks ago and now I am at 130 pounds! Thanks again for your personal help and support. I've learned so much as a result of being a Global Health & Fitness member over the past few months and I seem to learn more and more each day with all the great info you provide. Thanks for everything, I really appreciate it!"

Amy Gwinnell FitnessEdge@aol.com


"Only months ago I was very much over weight. I wanted to whip myself into shape but had little direction and no understanding of what or how to do it. I tried many quick fixes, none of which worked for me. I began getting discouraged. One day while searching the internet, I stumbled across the Global-Fitness.com website. With their money-back guarantee, I figured, why not?

After providing them with the requested info, I got a personalized diet plan and exercise routine within one day! Absolutely amazing! It was not some generic routine or plan made out for 'everyone' and it didn't promise quick fixes. The site outlined all the nutritional information I needed and exercises to perform, including video and description. But perhaps the most incredible part about the site was the quick, patient and knowledgeable online help I've received from their staff members. Each e-mail was written to me, personalized for my needs and answering every question I had asked and then some! In addition to this, I was given inspiration by other members and staff who had been where I was and who knew they could help me better my situation.

It worked. Within six weeks I lost thirty pounds of unwanted fat!! I dropped my waist size by four inches. I felt better than I ever had and, as an added bonus, I did not have to go on a small meal diet. In fact, I was encouraged to eat more. Even now, eight months later, I am still learning from this site. My goals have changed and, with the help of Chad, Dani and Tom, and the rest of their incredible staff, I have started on a road to a new physique. I am learning new strategies, new techniques, and new recipes every day. And never have my e-mails gone unanswered.

I can understand if you're skeptical, but I strongly suggest that you give their online fitness program a try. Read all the free information, review other success stories, and if you are still unsure, contact me personally (see e-mail below) and I'll be happy to answer whatever questions or concerns that may be bothering you. Try it out, I'm glad I did and I'll be a happy, healthy member for life!

P.S. I'll send my before and after photos soon!"

"Six months ago I was very overweight and feeling pretty bad about myself. I was totally disgusted by the way I looked and felt. Then I found Global Health & Fitness. After reading the first newsletter I decided to join their online fitness program. That first day I decided to go over to their Members Only Chat Room. That's where I met Chad, one of their fitness experts. I gave him every excuse in the book why I could not follow through with a fitness program. He encouraged me to join their fitness competition and get started with his recommendations. Little did I know that Chad and the rest of the expert staff were going to be following me on this journey.

What a great job they did! It would have been easy to stray off the program, but the encouragement and advise was outstanding. Even while I was in a rehab stage the follow-up and personal support was great. In addition to the personal consulting, Their Protrack software was a great help as well! I was amazed once I started using it to see how poor my diet was. With Protrack I was able to keep a better track of my diet and workouts, which was not only a great learning tool, it really helped me stay focussed and motivated as well. And the customized workout templates that members are able to download and import into Protrack are great too! I was also able to print these very effective workouts and take them to the gym with me.

Throughout the last six months of their fitness contest, by following their program, I lost 12% bodyfat and 38 pounds of fat, added lean fat-burning muscle, increased my strength in the bench press by 50 pounds and squats by 150 pounds, and won First Place! In addition to all their great resources and personal consulting, I'll be rewarded by GHF by going on a 7-day Caribbean cruise with their staff!

When I started, I never thought it would be possible to transform my body so radically and still feel good. Chad kept me on the path through the weekly emails, personal consulting, and the Thursday online chat. And next year I'm going to enter my first body building competition, so I look forward to their ongoing support. GHF, thanks a lot for all the help!"

"I just wanted to give you my weekly progress report as a results of being on your GHF Customized Diet Plan nutrition plan. I've now lost more than 9 inches for the three weeks I've been on the GHF Customized Diet Plan! Tim, my husband, is doing great too. He has now lost 7 inches and 4.5 % Body! It's incredible!

NOTHING has helped me loose this body fat since I had my son in December of '99....The GHF Customized Diet Plan looks and feels like it will finally be the thing (and I will gain lean muscle and improve my energy in the process)...I just can't believe the results I'm achieving already; it's so exciting and I am so appreciative of your wonderful program!"

Angela Willis lilith@flash.net


"I have been using your excellent service for the last four months and the results have already been outstanding. I am stronger and look better than I ever have in my entire life and I am now 31 years old. I have tried many workout programs in my time, but this one is BY FAR the very best. I really like the 12-week program that was personally recommended to me because it gives me a short goal to shoot for and a blueprint to follow as I try to achieve my long-term goals. Over the last four months, I have already lost 10 lbs of FAT and have gone from 17% body fat to 12% and I feel so great. Thank you so much for providing this service at such an amazing low cost!"

John Wahle wahlejn@one.net


"When I started searching the Internet for the help I needed to achieve my goals, I came across a site that I owe a lot of my success to, Global Health and Fitness. I couldn't believe it, I got everything I was looking for and more. I used ProTrack, the video instructions, the motivational e-mails, and all the personal consulting that their experts provide, to help with my workouts. I was even assigned my very own personal trainer (Dani) to answer all my questions and recommended a program that was right for me.

I couldn't believe how fast GHF's experts returned my e-mails. Their answers weren't cookie-cutter answers either, they were always specific to my questions, and always easy to understand and follow. As time went on I became more exited about my workouts, especially as I began seeing results.

The next step was my nutrition program. I e-mailed Chad and ask him about a diet to help with my cholesterol problem and fat-loss goals. He suggested the GHF Customized Diet Plan and it was exactly what I needed. Duringthe first 12 weeks on their exercise and nutrition program, I lost 29 lbs. of fat and lowered my cholesterol to 177. I was getting healthier with each passing day.

I am so happy that I chose this road to the new me!! Give GHF and their professional staff a chance to help you achieve your goals! Thank you GHF for all your support!"

Darrell Denniss ddennisok@prodigy.net


"I just wanted to let you know that the GHF Customized Diet Plan is working very well. Although I have not had my body-fat calculated yet, I do notice a huge difference after 3 weeks. I now fit into all of my old clothes without a problem. I am down to the last hole on the belts I had a hard time with when I started. I have increased exercise slightly, but since starting your programs, I can tell that my routineis much, MUCH more effective.

I know you suggested that I stay away from my weight scales, but I couldn't. It was nice to see that I had actually lost weight - probably between 10-15 lbs. I know this weight loss is fat and not muscle because my strength and muscle mass/tone has increased greatly!

I no longer have that constant full feeling that I had just a few weeks ago and have a lot more energy! I have also been able to continue socially over the weekends with just a little cheating. I've learned how to strike an excellent balance between enjoyable and effective so I can still have fun, yet also achieve the results I want. I can't wait to see my accomplishments at the end of the year and I'm so glad I joined your program and purchased the additional GHF Customized Diet Plan nutrition plan. Thanks so much for everything!"

"I was in search of a personal trainer, but soon realized that they are very expensive. I was searching the web for training programs and came across GHF. I checked out the site and it was very helpful; I was a little skeptical that anyone could offer me something I did not already know. Having a degree in physiology myself along with many years of training, I was not sure if GHF was going to be worth it. I e-mailed the contact at the website and they were very helpful and I decided to go with them for their very reasonable rates. GHF assigned me my own personal trainer and I was off and running to my first body building contest.

The best thing I ever did was sign up with GHF. My trainer was with me EVERY DAY offering much needed advice and support. In the end I surprised her and myself with my second place finish at my first contest. I did it all with GHF's help, good food, and no unsafe, ineffective thermogenic products.

The e-mail consulting was great for me because of my past training knowledge, but it would not have mattered if I had zero prior experience. I still went to the exercise and nutrition guides for reinforcement and to refresh my memory. And I would use their many other resources on the site as well. I would certainly recommend GHF to anyone who is motivated to meet his or her goals. I will be using my trainer at GHF for my next contest too. Thanks for everything!"

Jodean A. Haynes JHaynes@neurografix.com


"Hi Chad, I bought The GHF Customized Diet Plan in August and I would like to comment my results throughout these last couple of months. When I started, I weighed 102 Kgs, my pants size was 38", and my shirts neck size was 18". Today I weigh 90 Kgs, my pants size is 31" and my shirts neck size is 17"! When I first started, I didn't take a picture of my self because I didn't think I would change that much but know I think it would have be great to have my beginning picture.

In addition to the GHF Customized Diet Plan, I followed the customized strength routines; I finished body building phase one, 3 day per week and I’m now on phase two, 4 days per week. I will look for some old photos and take one of me now so you can see the results. I think you’ll be impressed. Thanks for everything; I will be telling everyone about your incredible program.”

Erick Salda erick@ersav.com


"I am 69 years old and have been on one diet or another since I was 39. Then I found The GHF Customized Diet Plan through Global-Fitness.com. I weighed 210 when I started in August, 2001, and currently now weigh 179 and am still counting down. I probably would have lost more fat, but we have been on three 7-day cruises since September. My pants size has gone from a tight 40 to a comfortable 37. My size 36 Levi's are still a little too tight, but I can fasten them and sit down in them. I know they will fit comfortably before long.

I bought a couple of new pants about a month before the last cruise and another pair about a week before. When I dressed for dinner the first night they were all too big. The ship's tailor was able to alter the newest pair to fit, but the others were so big that the back pockets came together when he tried to take the waist in. It was wonderful. Fortunately, the tux was a rental, so the size was not a problem. I am so pleased with the way now I look that I am going to buy a tux.

I have been the world's slowest runner for the last 17 years, usually dragging in at about a 15-minute mile. Since I have been following The GHF Customized Diet Plan my speed has improved phenomenally. I am now running easily at an 11, sometimes 10-minute mile. I can now run about 30 miles per week.

When I got out of the service in 1955 I weighed 170 pounds. That is my goal and I know that I will make it with your great program and all the personal attention you and your experts give me. I am very comfortable with this sensible, effective diet plan. It allows for a lot of variety and the food suggestions are great! I will soon be at a maintenance level, but it won't be all that different, just a few more calories, as well as the easy-to-follow guidelines within your program. The problem I had with other diets is that my metabolism shut down to avoid starvation. But not with the GHF Customized Diet Plan. This is by far the very best program I have found for weight (fat) loss and improved performance!"

David Powell talldave@wt.net

4 weeks later Dave's wife reports...

"Things are still going well for Dave. Last week's weight was 174. These last few pounds are the hardest, but the inches are really falling off. We bought size 34 jeans two weeks ago (down from 40), and it is just about time to go for 32's. Maybe next week. He has learned the hard way about buying prematurely. He has a lot of new clothes that became too big after one wearing. Some did before he wore them at all, but we were able to take those back. We do a lot of races and, consequently, have a lot of race T-shirts. He has gone from XL to medium. I have to watch him to keep him out of mine. We are going this week to buy new dress shirts. He wants to buy a tux for the cruises, but that will definitely have to wait until his weight stabilizes. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on his progress. He is doing so great on your program and we are both grateful!"

Patricia Powell patp0509@yahoo.com


"I have completed my first 12 weeks of the beginner strength training program and am very pleased with and excited about the results. I lost ten lbs. of fat and lost a couple inches off my waist. My goal is to lose 60 more lbs., which would put me at 195 lbs. This week I started four days a week of strength training and three or four days of cardio training. I visit the gym at 5:00am five days a week. On mornings when I cannot work cardio in to my workout, I return in the afternoon for a quick 20- to 30-minute session.

The weight is finally coming off and I love it! I am eating better and have a lot more energy and confidence. I am looking forward to this next 12 weeks and absolutely love my GHF membership! Without your incredible programs and personal guidance I don't think I would have achieve nearly as good of results, if any at all. Thanks so much for everything!"
