Weight Loss Program:
Ever since the first season of the reality weight loss television show "The Biggest Loser", more people who are struggling with weight problems are looking for motivation to become fit. Many of those people are looking to lose an extreme amount of weight like the contestants on the show. However, there is one reality about the show that is not a reality in life: There is no seclusion from the outside world and unhealthy foods. Watching many of the contestants on the show lose ten pounds or more every weekly weigh-in is inspiring for many, but it is much easier to do when there are no outside distractions and temptations. Though it has not expanded yet, individuals in the Metro Detroit area who want to make a radical lifestyle change similar to the participants’ of “The Biggest Loser” now have an opportunity to do so.
What Makes Get Downsized More than a Fad?
When starting a diet or exercise program to lose weight, many people focus on what they want to look like. Aesthetics are not what should be the main focus. Consider it a bonus that comes with improving overall health, which is what Get Downsized strives to do. When people feel better on the inside, they tend to look better on the outside. The goal of Get Downsized is to make changes from the inside to the outside by educating individuals on good nutrition and helping them incorporate a combination of techniques in their daily lives that is best suited for their lifestyle. Everyone who participates gets a program that is tailor-made for them.
What Does the Program Consist Of?
The Get Downsized program is a sixteen week challenge that consists of intense weight training, cardio, Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and boxing with one day of rest every week. Participants will receive a meal plan comprised of lean proteins, fruits and vegetables and quality carbohydrates. Participants will be in groups of ten and will have two ninety-minute training sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a group of trainers. Though the eating and the exercise plan is challenging, the variety of activities and the quick progress will make the experience fun and rewarding.
Anyone in the Detroit area who needs to lose eighty pounds or more and has received approval from a doctor is able to audition for this program. Total commitment is required because the goal is to lose that eighty pounds and some. That means no cheating on the diet or missing exercise sessions. Auditions are held at the Power House Gym every Saturday afternoon. More information about the challenge can be found at the official Get Downsized website.
LOST 60 lbs...IN JUST 9 SHORT WEEKS

Hi I'm Jon Lybeck. I am currently 44 years old. After 20 years of neglecting my body and ignoring all nutritional food, those 5 pounds a year after 20 years added up to 100 pounds overweight. I did "try" dieting in the past but like most people I wound up with the yo-yo effect, lose 10, and gain 15. I considered the drastic alternatives lap band, gastric bypass, and liposuction. I guessed the "easy way" out was best. Then I got a call from Todd Coburn and Mandi Cobb offering me the chance to change my life. I had no idea who they were or if it was even possible when they said drop 80 to 100 pounds in 16 weeks. I didn't have to cut into my body or disfigure it in anyway? Just be dedicated to the program they set-up. They have added at least 10 years to my life and a feeling of hope and rebirth that I haven't had in decades. I am currently down 55 pounds and lost over 12 inches off my waist! My snoring (which would drive my wife out of the room) has stopped completely. The program is hard but it is something that I can continue for the rest of my life. Thank you Mandi and Todd...you have given me my life back and a new spark in my step.
Weight loss starts by obtaining the proper foods for a balanced diet (or lifestyle, as I like to put it). Good food sources (like all natural whole foods) and a great exercise program greatly improve results. I guarantee my program will work for you and back it with a 100% money-back return policy. I don't know of any trainer or program in the area with such a refund - so you really have nothing to lose (except for weight!).
You can expect to lose 3-5 pounds per week and you will be expected to keep a nutrition journal on your daily intake of food to ensure proper amount of calories, a good balance of foods and your trainer can tell instantly if you are making any mistakes or if there is anything you may be able to improve on. I will evaluate you when you come in and give you an overview of information that will not only educate you but change your way of thinking to a whole new level of life. If you are not willing and/or ready to make this change then DO NOT go any further. I take weight loss very serious and ONLY take on clients that are in the same mind set - you have to ASK yourself I am ready for this and want the new ME??
Local Loser Competition (Going on NOW!!):

My name is Mike Renda, I'm 21 years old and almost my whole life I was overweight. I ate the wrong food, I ate at night time, and never did any physical activity. I received an e-mail on my Facebook about an audition for a Local “Biggest Loser” Weight Loss Challenge called Get Downsized . I thought about it and decided this is something I need to do for me and my life. 2 1/2 months later I had lost over 71 lbs. No it’s not easy or even fun, its hard work, determination, mind set, simple food plans but GREAT support from 2 awesome personal trainers, Todd Coburn and Mandi Cobb. They know how to work you out to where there is no room for error and the end result is just phenomenal, I think instead of personal trainers they should have the title of personal life changers, I look and feel like a whole new person, my mind is sharper, and I no longer get fatigued. It’s time to take care of your body, it’s the only one you will ever have!
