Ray says, "Thanks to The Perfect Workout, I'm walking upright now. When I stand, my dancing frame is upright. My shoulders are back, I have a tight frame. I feel much more confident now, and I look better in clothes now."
When Ray Olsowka retired, he set out on a quest. 36 years of driving around and repairing surgical equipment had taken a bit of a toll on his body, and he knew he needed to fix it. "I was frail. I didn't realize how much muscle I had lost over the years." He knew that if he went to a regular gym, he'd probably quit. He had tried to work out on his own at home before, too, to no avail. The big reason he wanted to get in shape? He wanted to master the more advanced moves on the dance floor. Three years ago Ray started Latin dancing - the salsa, merengue, and Cha-Cha - mostly as a social activity. His main goal was to gain some confidence and be able to hold his own on the dance floor. He caught on and did well, but knew he needed to get stronger.
So he went looking for "someone who worked with old people," and stumbled upon The Perfect Workout online (and soon found out that the clientele is made up of all ages). A skeptic by nature, Ray started working out once a week, and quickly signed up for six months of twice a week sessions at the Tustin studio. Working with his personal trainer Tustin, Jill, was exactly what he needed. "She knows what she's doing," says Ray. "She listens to me, offers her judgment, and pushes me. I need that. It's that last inch and millisecond that makes the difference." His hard work paid off. Now in his "second tour" of six months, Ray has dropped three inches from his waistline, down to 32 inches. He's lost a little weight, increased his core strength, and gained definition all over, especially in his biceps. More important, he says, "I'm walking upright now. When I stand, my dancing frame is upright. My shoulders are back, I have a tight frame. I feel much more confident now, and I look better in clothes now." In fact, Ray now fits into clothes he wore back in the 80's. Not to worry, though, he's not wearing the outdated fashions. "I'm dressing better. I have a totally new wardrobe."
Ray assures people that he's not actually taller. His new physique and better posture just makes it look that way. He's also gotten one unexpected bonus - a new outlook on life. "Every day is a wonderful day! Life is good. I always said that dancing was going to save my life. The Perfect Workout is going to help." As the oldest guy at his dance studio, Ray is now in a performance group. They practice one night a week and then have a "final exam" performance. The dancing and slow motion strength training are both part of his plan to continue improving and developing himself. "I was looking for something like The Perfect Workout for a long time. It's a lifestyle. Why stop?"
