There was a wildfire in our town for about a month and to keep this short it kind of put me at my highest weight. While we were away I ate out constantly. I knew when I came back I had to do something about myself which is when I discovered New Leaf fitness.
New leaf fitness is ran by a couple located in Beaumont, Alberta. Justin and Kirstin Breau are the two coaches who run New Leaf. After seeing a friend of mines transformation with them I was absolutely blown away.
