Take It Off Weight Loss Winners Lose 128 lbs and 80 Inches

The four women that were chosen to participate in the Take It Off Weight Loss Challenge, the Atlantic Club’s new weight loss program that combines dietary changes with health club-supervised exercise and counseling, achieved combined weight reduction of 128 pounds and 80 inches.

Casey Conrad, founder of the Take It Off, and The Atlantic Club C.O.O. Kevin McHugh presented certificates of success to the four women, chosen from more than 200 applicants for the weight loss study. These certificates reflect their devotion to the ultimate weight loss program The Atlantic Club launched 12 weeks earlier.

Cheryl Podmajersky lost 41.5 pounds and 13.5 inches from her waist, hips and thighs while Casey Miles lost 38 pounds and 27.5 inches. Dawn Murphy lost 29.9 pounds, 18.5 inches and Megan Miller lost 19.1 pounds and 20.75 inches. The women revealed their results at The Atlantic Club-Red Bank during a recent reception that included their families, coaches and personal trainers.

Designed for administration by a health club, the 12-week Take It Off Weight Loss Program teaches healthy lifestyle eating. Starting with a 45-minute orientation, Take It Off includes 15-minute weekly consultations with a personal coach. Participants kept a journal of their diet and record their exercise and weight loss each week. The coaches also provide weekly educational handouts and recipes that rely entirely upon grocery store foods as well as suggested healthy snack bars.

Each woman also met weekly with a personal trainer who took her them through a motivating and instructional workout. Personal trainers taught the Take It Off participants exercises personalized for their routine, as well as how to incorporate exciting new fitness options throughout the week. Each program incorporates strength, cardio, and flexibility exercises.

 The Atlantic Club is an official Take It Off Weight Loss Center and offers the program to the public currently priced at just $249.

“That is part of the beauty of this program. We know that when you decide you are ready to lose weight, you have to start right away, not put it off until it fits into someone else’s schedule,” said Ms. Conrad, who developed Take It Off based on her 25 years in the health and fitness industry. “The other thing that makes Take It Off more successful than other weight loss approaches is that it was created specifically for health clubs. Take It Off marries dieting with a fitness facility.”

Successfully sustaining weight loss requires combining diet, which Ms. Conrad says accounts for 80 percent of weight lost, with exercise, which accounts for 80 percent of weight maintenance and is critical to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the program.

“It’s way too easy to gain weight in this world,” she said. “That’s why keeping a journal of your diet and accountability on the scale are the two most important things. They keep you honest. Motivation also is important. Every woman that got up to speak at the reveal reception thanked her coach.”

Participants also received 16 sessions of The Atlantic Club’s Synergie Body Treatments, a new service offered at the club’s Milagro Spa and Salon. The treatments dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite and enable women to lose inches off their waist, hips and thighs. The Synergie Aesthetic Massage System™ is a device that delivers a non-invasive deep massage with optimal stimulation, stretching and pressure to sub-dermal tissues. This technique has been cleared by the FDA as a method for relief of muscle soreness, temporary improvement in local blood circulation, temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, and reduction in circumferential body measurements.
