Ingrid Loses 189 pounds

Club Julian member, ordained minister, youth services librarian, and stand-up comedian, Reverend Ingrid Kalchthaler has proven that with a little dedication, hard work and a lot of faith, anything is possible!  Ingrid has made an incredibly inspirational weight loss journey at Club Julian, shedding nearly 190 pounds.

When you weigh 338 lbs., it’s easy to lose self-esteem, confidence and motivation.  Ingrid's journey to wellness began with a simple proclamation. “I realized you have to value yourself so you can be of value to others,” recalls the 44-year old chaplain. “I said to myself, ‘I am important. I am worth it.’” Ingrid discovered Club Julian 24-Hour Fitness as part of her commitment to a healthy lifestyle and utilized all of the amenities and support offered by the Club including FREE personal training.  Today, Ingrid is no longer diabetic and is enjoying a more active and rewarding life!
