Gridiron's Biggest Loser #4 2011

When Gridiron Fitness Centre decided to hold its' first ever Biggest Loser Competition, the response was fantastic. These classes enabled members to work with personal trainers in a group setting; as well as have one-on-one time to design a workout program suited to their personal goals and individual abilities. Deciding to change one's lifestyle is not always easy, but with the support here at Gridirion we have helped numerous people embark on a new path in life. Our members have lost incredible amounts of weight, dropped inches and improved their self image. What more could you ask for then to give yourself the gift of HEALTH and self esteem?

The competition is held once a year lasting 12 weeks. Members are scheduled to work out with their trainers three times per week and have the option of coming to the gym as much as they wish. After the first two weeks of hard work, the weight loss is continuing to happen. Congratulations to all the participants for your astounding weight loss!!

The Inspirational Award Winner

Mabel Torgerson

Mabel Torgerson

Mabel is 70 years young and the oldest contestant to participate in Gridiron's Biggest Loser Competition. Mabel saw an ad in the local paper and decided it was time to change her outlook about herself and how she lived her life. After 30 pounds and 16 inches gone, Mabel looks in the mirror and is happy with the woman she sees looking back at her. Mabel's journey took her on a path of making smarter food choices, drinking more water, learning portion control and sizes. At the end of 12 weeks Mabel improved her muscular endurance from 4 wall push-ups to 40!! Her resting heart rate dropped 8 beats per minute, translating to a stronger, more efficient heart muscle. This experience has given Mabel an overall remarkable improvement in functional fitness level and quality of life. Along with Mabel's husband, the owners, trainers & staff at Gridiron Fitness are so proud of all she has accomplished.


As Mabel said, "It's not a matter of not knowing what to do .... it is doing it!" We will keep you updated on this amazing woman as she continues her journey in Gridirion's Biggest Loser IV Marathon.
