The Days of Yore

Photo taken from the top by me

I visited the World Trade Center once. It was the late 90s. I had gone to NYC with my son. His girlfriend at the time was going to NYU - she's a lawyer now - beware!. All they wanted to do at that time was to get stoned and have sex. So I was on my own. I was afraid of heights but I wasn't going to give up the opportunity to visit the WTC because of my fear. I kept thinking that I'd never have this opportunity again in my lifetime. I was right  -- as usual.

I am Ryan "Energizer" Ehmann, owner of Altitude Fitness and I’ve been out of shape several times in my life, so beat down – tens of thousands of dollars in debt, depressed and my self-esteem so crushed that I was afraid to go out in public. I turned to the fitness industry as the vehicle to heal my mind and body, and that’s when my dreams began to become a reality. The power of a proven fitness program is life changing so just imagine how much more you could give to your family, career and friends if you were on top of your game?



There is a champion in everyone…including YOU!



If you’ve ever wanted to lose that extra 12, 18, 24, 36 (or MORE!) inches of Body Fat off your frame and experience the benefits of a healthier lifestyle, then this message will cut to the chase and give you the answers you’re looking for. My fat loss training system have taken me 28,882 hours and 10 years of personal training to Master it so years ago I quit working at Gold's Gym as the Fitness Manager and opened a small, private workout facility to educate people about foods, fitness and lifestyle. Altitude fitness is a fun family atmosphere that people come as they are in grey sweets, white T-shirts, no make-up and they are accepted as a team member who want to learn and get in shape. No one is judged, it's not a fashion show and no matter your health or fitness shape you are a part of the Fat Loss Team working together.



I promise my "Fat Burning Zone" training program will get you to LOSE 12 inches in 12 workouts, Energize your mind, shrink body fat, sky rocket your confidence, increase your self image of yourself, improve the quality of your life and people will be saying, "WOW, you look AMAZING and have a GLOW of happiness! This will be the last fitness program you ever do...............Wooo Hoooo

I've been in some high buildings but never the WTC. I have never wanted to be a lawyer. I have wanted to do a lawyer. I have been done by a lawyer. I take the 5th.

Too bad Kanran Yaqoob doesn't take the 5th.

Kamran's comment is so compelling. I'm sure he's making the big bucks with his b.s. fat burning zone crap.
