Real Life Success Stories
If you have been inspired by Chris through the use of her videos, equipment, classes, or literature, we'd love to hear from you! Tell us your results both physically and emotionally!! Yes, exercise is about losing weight, re-shaping and re-sculpting. However, even more important is what happens inside. When you begin to train for quality of life, great things happen.

I have been doing the Chris Freytag Walk Yourself Fit DVD faithfully without missing a single day since June of 2007 and I have lost 85 pounds! My husband and I like to motorcycle, so I bring the portable DVD player and the DVD to every hotel room and every vacation. Chris doesn't know my family, but through her DVD she has traveled with us to Mexico, Colorado, and my husband always says, “Good morning Chris” everyday as I work out!

Here’s how Chris’ programs have worked for others!
Hi Chris! 5 weeks ago was a turning point in my life-the day I started becoming physically active. I have yo-yo dieted many times before, but that was before I just happened to pick up your Drop It In 30! DVD at the store. You are truly an amazing role model of health and well being. I love your personality and your motivating workouts so much that I also bought your book Move to Lose! I open it up everyday for a quick pick me up motivation and new exercise move ideas. I wake up everyday anticipating to go walk, run, or do aerobics and I NEVER thought I would actually look forward to working out!! I realize it's just a part of me and my life now and not something on a "diet to-do list." You've made me realize that taking it slow is best and eating whole, nutritious foods is key. I feel such a change in my body, mind, and soul. Thank you for, well, you!!

I couldn't look in the mirror anymore, I was overweight and my health was going downhill. I wanted to change. I wanted to be able to play ball with my kids. I wanted to like me again. I needed to lose 100 lbs. After about 6 months of eating healthier, the weight wasn't coming off. Taking the advice of others, I split my goal into half. I tried getting on the treadmill, but couldn't stick with it. After losing about 25 lbs., I decided it was time to do something different. That's when I ordered "Get Moving" and "3.2.1 Workout" by Prevention Fitness Systems. I watched the videos and took Chris' advice - I got moving!
I would make myself get up early to work out. I found the videos were challenging, yet low impact which kept my back from being agitated like the other videos. Soon I ordered "Drop it in 30". Over the past year, I have lost a total of 65 lbs., dropped 6 sizes, and feel better than I did in college. I actually look forward to getting up at 4:30 in the morning to do my workouts. Even though I still have another 40 lbs. to lose, I am healthier, happier, and can play with my kids! Thanks to Chris, I am making my goals a reality.

Let me just say how impressed I am with your style and enthusiasm. Last year I purchased 2 of your DVD’s (Belly Butt & Thighs, and 321 circuit workout) and for Christmas I received the Walk Yourself Fit DVD. All are fabulous. I get up in the morning, put on my workout clothes and head for the basement to join you and your staff for a great motivational workout. I was walking every day but could not budge the scales. You videos showed me how to exercise all of my body…cardio, strength training and core body. I'm proud to say that by eating a balanced diet and working out with you, I have lost 35 pounds and have kept it off. Dropped 3 sizes, toned up my body and feel better than I have in years. I'm looking forward to trying your Drop it in 30 Workout.
Thanks so much for keeping me motivated. Your upbeat personality shines right through the videos. Watching you every morning for over a year now, and reading your articles in the Prevention magazine and on the web, I feel like I have gotten you know you. You are doing a wonderful service for the women (and men) of America. Keep up the good work. My before photo I’m wearing a size 16 – my after photo, I’m wearing a 10!!

I'm a full time working mom, hockey mom, and I have a desk(ugh)job. I'm on a computer all day. I have 2 sons 3 and 12 and the weight just came on over the years of not finding time for me. I started by fumbling through on my own, pounding on the treadmill and downloading tidbit workouts from the Prevention Magazine web site. Then I started working on clean eating and started with your 3-2-1 workout in October. Next, I moved on to your Drop it in 30 and Belly Butt & Thighs DVD’s. I've lost over 7 inches around my waist and hips and 26 of my initial 50 lb goal. I recently purchased your Personal Trainer DVD and now love to mix and match the workouts.
I used to think a mile on my treadmill was a killer workout, now I use the warm up and cool down from Drop it in 30 before and after the treadmill. I'm happiest when I can double dip.. Some in the morning and maybe tack on a quick 10 min DVD segment here and there. I can actually do almost everything on those DVD’s and that's amazing to me!
I think Chris says something like “small changes with big results.” I've done the changes and I have gotten the results. I actually can see signs of muscle tone, in such a short time. These simple routines are taking off the inches and the pounds. As an added bonus, I feel stronger, more flexible and more mentally sound than I’ve ever been. I swear by the 10 minute rule! Even if you’ve had “one of those days” you can find 10 minutes or 20, now can’t you? Of course you can, when you see the payoff! It’s so worth it. You will get the payoff, believe me it feels great. I'll be at the front of the line ordering it your next DVD. THANK YOU CHRIS~

"Move to Lose is well written, organized and includes all the necessary components to getting and staying fit and healthy. The program is such a common sense approach to eating, exercising and living well that it is easy to understand and implement. I purchased this book after dealing with a medical crisis. This book motivated me to eat healthier, exercise daily and create a plan to reach my fitness goals. I have lost weight, become more tone, and have more energy, confidence and strength. I highly recommend this book!!!!"

"Chris Freytag has taken all of the complicated fitness and diet programs out there and traded them in for some common sense! She spells out things that ANYONE can do to improve their health and fitness and does it in a way that is not intimidating or too complex. Her exercise and diet ideas are so helpful (and not hard to do). This book taught me a lot about healthy eating habits and how your body responds to exercising.
I highly recommend it!"

"I just wanted to tell you that I have just finished your book. I did it in 2 days....It is amazing. Everything I had ever read (in several different magazines and books) is compiled into one SPECTACULAR book! The way you explain everything to fit individual needs is perfect for anyone. I am about 50 pounds over weight and don't see weight loss as an obstacle anymore. You have given me the necessary tools to achieve my goals without feeling like I am competing with other women. Through reading your book I have learned to appreciate everything about life and what God has given to me. I want to live a clean, healthy lifestyle and take care of this body of mine. You are truly an inspiration to me."
- Kaaren
"In this industry of trendy diets and exercise gimicks, it's a welcome change to hear someone who is motivating yet realistic. Chris' common sense approach takes the frustration out of trying to understand why I can't lose weight. Chris has a way of making me feel good about myself while really cutting to the nitty gritty. Her book has been invaluable to me – I use it as a reference to keep me pumped up and committed to living a healthy lifestyle not just searching for a quick fix. Thank you Chris!"
