Eupraxia - West Salem

Fantastic experience: Here's a shoutout to Steve Czys, Eupraxia, Danna Johnson, and the trainers and devotees at West Salem Eupraxia! Thank you for such an amazing fitness and nutrition program, positively killer workouts, great trainers, and supportive Eupraxians (especially, Ginny and Deb ????)! My fitness and health journey started on February 11, 2022. After shedding 25.4 pounds, gaining strength, and increasing my stamina during the 6-week challenge, I was hooked and signed up for a year. I've been sidelined by a knee issue. Along with PT exercises and bike riding, I have continued eating nutritiously. As a result, I'm down 54.2 pounds as of this morning. I really miss the workouts at Eupraxia and cannot wait to get back to them. Coincidentally, I had labs done on the same day I started the 6-week challenge and had them rechecked three months later. I went from elevated levels to normal levels for my A1C, average glucose, and kidney function. That's a huge bonus! My goals starting out were focused on mobility, energy, and stamina. They've all increased tremendously! Steve's teaching videos really brought home eating for nutrition: to give my body the good construction materials it needs to function optimally. I'd like to burn another 93 lbs of stored energy ???? off my body. I keep saying, "Where will I be on February 11, 2023?"

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6 week challenge and lost 24.6 lbs and lost 4% body fat! 6 weeks ago I -was out of breath walking up the stairs -didn't fit into my clothes -sat in my chair a lot at work -couldn't do a single pushup correctly -had high anxiety all of the time -viewed food as something that makes me happy I now feel more confident about myself and have more energy! I celebrated Saturday by having a pizza. It was great as I craved pizza this entire time. But afterwards I was just like meh, wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I rewarded myself with that pizza and now I want to jump back all in. I know I still have a long ways to go but I truly feel like this is a great start to a lifelong new me. Yes...I will still treat myself now and again, but not like before. I'm excited to start new goals of losing more weight and getting better at the exercises that we do at the gym. For the next 6 weeks I personally would like to lose another 15 lbs. After that, I don't want to worry about the scale and concentrate more about how I feel. I started this journey because of my backpacking trip I take with my 7th graders each year. 3 of us take 18 7th graders 30 + miles over 3 days time with everything on our backs! Last year I struggled most of the way and even had one point where I didn't think I was going to make it. (Erika saved me with a granola bar at that point) Never again will those 7th graders kick my rear end. I'm going to be doing laps around them! I'd like to thank Erika for joining me as a workout partner, Danna and all of the trainers for providing encouragement and forcing me to work hard, and all of the other members for their high fives and conversation. I'd also like to tell the mothers who bring their kids to the gym that I absolutely love it! Those littles keep me smiling during these hard workouts. I'm not going to post before and after pics here because I'm a teacher and don't want them to get out. If you are interested I'd show you. Big difference. Can't wait to see the next pic on my one year anniversary here. Thanks to all. I'm here to stay.

Fantastic experience: I had tried a local 24/7 gym & got bored with it. I never knew what to do & most importantly, didn't know what the heck to eat to get results either. 6 months prior to my wedding, I decided to join Eupraxia up until then & then quit. Welllll, that was in Nov 2016 & I haven't quit yet. ;) I was hooked after the first week & in the first 2 years I lost just over 30lbs! I have never looked back & have continued to put on muscle while also keeping my body fat at a low, healthy spot. I have never been stronger or felt more knowledgable in my daily nutrition. I was also able to stay active throughout my pregnancy & within 9 months of having my baby, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight & lifting just as heavy as before. ...No crash diets, no weightloss gimicks, just consistency, fun workouts that keep you coming back, & an EASY sustainable diet!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I signed up for the 6 week challenge and loved it so much I joined permanently. The engaging workouts and support you get is second to none. The trainers really care about your journey. Thank you Eupraxia.

Fantastic experience: There is nothing out there like Eupraxia. Eupraxia got me in the best shape of my life, even better than when I was playing football in college. There isn't anyone who shouldn't be going here.
