My mind, body, and soul transformation began in the summer of 2010, when I decided to sign-up for bootcamps with UGL. At the start of my journey with UGL, I weighed around 195lbs and was completely out of shape. I knew that I needed to quit making excuses and truly become a role model for my two sons. The decision to join UGL, happens to be one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. This became evident after my life-threatening car accident in 2012. At that time, I was in the best shape of my life, thanks to the Underground Lab. My doctors were amazed at how quickly I recovered after such a traumatic accident and attributed this to me being healthy and in good shape. I called (and still do) the UGL trainers my guardian angels because without them, I would never have had the motivation, encouragement, and determination to fight back. This place and all the people involved here including the members are like a family to me. They all mean so much to me and I am blessed that God has put them in my life. There are seriously no words that can express the gratitude that I feel towards the creator of UGL, Fernando Rodriguez, and his amazing staff of trainers. They are simply THE BEST in the fitness industry.

This busy business owner joined the lab to restore balance to her hectic life. She loves to start her day with a training session with her coach Michael Matthews and says, “I really believe that this is the way forward – having someone to support you and help you work things out.”

This [training] is the hardest thing I will do today. The rest of my day is just made up of decisions, and I can make better decisions if I have worked out in the morning.

I love working out at UGL. When I started going three summers ago, I thought I was in good shape. Boy, was I wrong! I am in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I even was able to run a half marathon after all my hard work with the UGLl! I highly recommend small group coaching, It has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself!

I was completely hopeless and so far off track from my goals before starting this program. And now I feel like a completely different person! I owe it all to The Lab, and my awesome friends! Thank you for making this happen Underground Lab Crew!
