The journey to “Wellness” is a rewarding one for anyone that commits to the process. Obviously weight is an easy burden to accumulate but not to take off. Working with LaVelle has given me the determination to “Burn the Goo.” The days that I’m not with him, I repeat those words and push myself that much harder. His technique is inspiring and placid. He’s not the type of trainer that yells and humiliates you but instead encourages you to get the job done by expressing the power within each and every one of us. I remember getting started and very proud of a motivational “fat” poster I made and put on my refrigerator. It was a plethora of “Fat” women along with an affirmation of strength and will power… Lavelle said, “Why don’t you make a poster with bodies that reflect where you want to be, these women are a sign that you see yourself as fat.” He was right. The relationship I have established with myself since working with Lavelle is one of love, patience and acceptance. This approach makes the journey a lot more enjoyable than beating up on myself or having a trainer degrade and humiliate me. With this type of overall “work consciousness” you can’t help but to succeed.
Peace N Luv!

My name is Andaiye, I’m fifty-one years old.  I have been physically active all of my life.  When I turned forty most of my physical activity stopped.  I knew I needed to stay active but I continued to do nothing.  At fifty I really started to feel unhealthy even though I was a vegetarian.  I found a Vintagefine flyer and called Andre, this was the beginning of my new body. Vintagefine has taught me that fitness is not a fad or trend and has become a way of life for me. I work out five days a week and I feel great.  This is the first time in my life that I understand that exercising is not something you do to just loose weight or to fit into a dress but a lifestyle.

Thank you Vintagefine for changing my life.

It’s not about how much you know as much as knowing when to let what you know be shown.

Although PCW client Andrea had only had three sessions with us when we visited Charlette NC in 2008, she expressed with excitement and much gratitude how much she appreciates training with Andre LaVelle and the PCW boot camp and the impact it has so quickly made in her life explaining a confrontation that took place soon afterward on April 4th 2008 when she and a girlfriend were attacked. “I didn’t think I could ever hit someone, striking a pad is so much different. But when I felt the pain from his punches and the fear of being seriously injured became a reality for me; I guess instinct took over and the combination technique we had practiced the week prior just came out. I would recommend that all women take some kind of self defense training because you never know these days, one minute you’re having a good time with friends the next you are fighting for your life, If it happened to me it can happen to anybody.”

We appreciate Andrea for sharing with us.
This is why we train!
