Results Transformation Center's
Member of the Month
May 2019

Jen is a Senior VP and CFO of California Hospital Association, Wife and mom of two grown sons – Ryan and Danny, Grammy to one grandson – Jayden, a Spartan, been going to Results for 4 years 3 months, and is 55 years young and counting!!  She decided to Join Results, when it was getting close to her 50th birthday and she decided to lose weight… she had let herself get heavier than she wanted and figured if not now never, that was in 2013.  She lost the weight then but by November of 2014 she had gained it all back.  She saw the ads for Results and the 20lb challenge and decided that she really needed to change her lifestyle or just get comfortable being overweight.  She joined the 20lb challenge which started January of 2015. She lost 18lbs on that challenge and never looked back.  She has been a member since then.  She’d tell you that, “I’m pretty much awkward as a$$ but old enough to not really care LOL!”

She used to have chronic back pain and since results she doesn’t anymore.  Results has helped her stay accountable, increased her confidence, provided an outlet and social environment, and helped keep her stress under control.   What she enjoys most though is the community… the people.  Always being pushed to be better.  With these people she achieved her proudest fitness moment being in shape and strong enough to conquer the Tahoe Beast (Spartan Race) twice!! Her favorite workout as she puts it, “I’m a bit of a cardio junkie so Tabata is probably my favorite although I am trying to focus more on strength right now.”

Her MyZone name is JMoney$.  Which she has a love/hate relationship with, “I like it because it helps me stay motivated and work harder.  I hate it because they keep raising my max heart rate to a 34-year old’s.”  Which is a great problem to have. If you ask her, she would tell anyone wondering about joining Results, “Do it!! It’s a great investment in yourself!”  

“Of course, it’s hard, it’s supposed to be hard, if it were easy everyone would do it. Hard is what makes it great!”

Central Sac is where it’s at and it’s all because of great members like Janelle Wheeler!  Janelle is a single mom of a crazy, wild and amazing 10-year-old son (her words), works a full-time job at Whole Foods, and still makes time to take care of herself so that she can be her best for those she loves and cares for every day.

Janelle joined Results almost a year ago during the Summer Slim Down program.  She had been trying to lose weight on her own but had no clue of what to do for exercise.  That’s when one of her co-workers suggested Results!  Janelle said that she felt awkward when she began and struggled to breathe during her first workout – now she loves her classes (Tabata and Booty Friday are her favorite days)!  The group energy and the exercise programming take the burden of thinking about how to do it yourself and keeps her motivated.  The thing that kept her going at first was her desire to be able to play with her son without being tired after 5 minutes.  She started out doing all this for him – now she says it’s all for her!  Janelle says the best part for her has been the great feeling to toss out all of her old oversized clothes and to start to build up her wardrobe with clothes that fit, look good, and make her feel good.  Janelle admits that it makes her proud and feel good when people ask her how much weight she’s lost and how she did it (she has lost 50 pounds so far).  Janelle is now a great role model for her son as she plays basketball with him and has become more active overall – no more tired mom!

“This is a long-term journey.  There will be setbacks, but I keep going because I’ve got years to live and I want them to be good ones” – Janelle Wheeler

Wanda Jarquin is Elk Grove’s MOM to remember!  This inspiring lady who worked for 30 years as a courtroom clerk for the Superior Court of Hayward started at Results as a 6-week challenger (she did it to support her daughter who “invited” her to do the challenge with her).  Wanda became a member after her challenge ended in April 2015!  You can find Wanda on the MyZone board as “WanDah” but you’ll have to push your effort level to the max if you’re trying to compete with her!  Wanda reflects about when she first started at Results: “I learned within these walls, there are no such words as “I can’t”.  This has impacted my life inside and outside the gym.”

What might be a setback for most people, Wanda had a total hip replacement and foot infusion in April 2018, but because of her training prior to surgery, Wanda has come back stronger – squatting, doing burpees and mountain climbers, and better than ever!

No better time to celebrate our Member of the Month, Megan Silva than her birthday month! Megan has been with Results since November, 2107. She came to Results for the accountability and to get her pre baby body back! ? After months of consistently working out 4-5x a week and eating well she is down 20 pounds and feeling stronger than ever. Her husband is firefighter for Folsom and is gone 4 days at a time making her SUPER mom to care of the kids, work and keep their house running smoothly. No easy task yet she makes it look easy. Megan does not let her busy schedule keep her away from the gym because she takes advantage of the Results TC app and books herself ahead of time. She uses these classes as her “ME” time. You can catch Megan at 9am working out and her favorite day is BOOTY FRIDAY. Meg has such a warm and inviting smile for whomever walks through our doors. No wonder her favorite quote goes something like this, “There are hundreds of languages throughout the world but a smile speaks them all”- anonymous. We thank you Megan for all your hard work, consistency and dedication to your health and fitness. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to do what we love!

Debbie is a true mother of 4, grandmother of 7 and now a MOM at Results.  She has been married to her best friend and biggest supporter, Duane, for 16 years.  You will usually find them working out together at 5am. 

She started at RESULTS after her own mother passed away.  Along with the depression, she tried to find comfort in food which led her to her highest weight.  Since joining, Debbie has lost 42 lbs and regained her energy and joy.  After seeing all the numbers and colors up on the screen for a year, she finally bought a MyZone.  Her name is DebbiC and since having her new toy, she has found she pushes herself harder, especially on her two favorite days, Tabata Tuesday and Booty Friday. 

She feels proud of going from barely being able to do a burpee to being able to do 10 in a minute.  She would recommend RESULTS to anyone because she feels that the coaches and other members are awesome.  The encouragement to and from the other members is something that keeps her coming back.
