Dina Sanders
PBalance Training Specialist
Dina Sanders always led an active but unproductive fitness lifestyle. She tried
various recreational sports like running, aerobics, roller skating, volleyball,
step, tennis and badminton--all of which she enjoyed but tired of doing alone. more..
As she began her family, she found more and more of her time devoted to the care
of others while devoting no time to her own health and physical fitness. Like many
women, with each child, she gained weight and lost most but not all so that by the
time her last daughter was born, she was 5-10 pounds heavier than she wanted to
be but simply could not find the time or energy to give to herself. Each year, a
pound here and a pound there crept up on her until one day she realized she was
30 pounds overweight and she had allowed most of her family’s growing years to pass
with her avoiding cameras and events requiring photos because she was so unhappy
with how she looked and felt. In July 2006, Dina made a life changing decision and
walked into her local gym to lose weight and reclaim the person buried deep inside--the
one she actually liked. She plugged along for over a month, struggling on her own
to figure things out until one day she found Michael’s class. To this day, she describes
that event as the “luckiest day of her life!” Finally, Dina found what she was looking
for--a fun and very physical workout that kept her constantly challenged and engaged.
When Michael began Perfect Balance, she was right there for his first session! And
when the bulky winter clothes came off, she emerged much as a butterfly shocking
everyone she knew with her dramatic transformation. Gradually, Dina realized that
not only had she changed on the outside but she had rediscovered the confidence
and independence that had once been so much a part of her personality. She discovered
that the better she took care of herself, the better she was able to care for others.
In short, she became a better Dina!! It didn’t take long before she realized how
much she wanted to give that gift to others. Already a passionate and dedicated
advocate for the Perfect Balance lifestyle, she decided it wasn’t enough to simply
motivate everyone she knew to join. She wanted to help them all the way through
their own transformations. After much thought, she became a trainer and has been
training ever since. Dina’s only regret is that she didn’t do it all sooner!!
