When Rick Nelligan first stepped into Onelife Fitness Pike & Rose, it wasn’t just to work out; it was to reclaim his life. After battling depression and experiencing a serious health scare, Rick knew it was time to take his well-being into his own hands. What he didn’t know was how much his journey would change him—inside and out.
Starting From Zero
Rick had never set foot in a fitness club before. At the beginning of his journey, even a single push-up felt impossible. "I was intimidated and unsure where to start," Rick shared. "That’s why working with a trainer was so important for me." Enter Lahni, his dedicated trainer, who provided the guidance, encouragement, and tailored workouts Rick needed to build confidence and strength.
Small Steps Lead to Big Victories
With Lahni by his side, Rick began taking one small step at a time. Together, they worked to build his strength, endurance, and mindset. From basic movements to structured routines, Rick’s persistence and Lahni’s expertise created a powerful partnership.
Fast forward to today: Rick can confidently knock out 30 push-ups without breaking a sweat—a far cry from where he started. But his transformation goes far beyond the physical.
Waking Up With Purpose
The results of Rick’s hard work are astounding. Losing over 270 pounds, he now feels healthier, stronger, and more alive than ever before. "I wake up with a purpose now," Rick said. "This isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about feeling better and living my life to the fullest."
