Open Cooking Lesson

One of the fondest Thanksgiving memories of my childhood was the year my mother tried to serve us a completely vegetarian Thanksgiving. We had just relocated to a new city after my mother had finished graduate school; we didn’t have friends or family to celebrate with, and I’m sure that money was tight that year. And what was the centerpiece of this event? A ham-roasted eggplant.

Picture a spiral-cut eggplant turned black from roasting with a brown-sugar glaze and served on a platter much too large for its puny size. My mother presented it so lovingly to the table, with the same flair as the real deal. At the same time, my brother and I promptly burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter, and our exhausted mother plopped down and joined in on the guffaws. No one touched the eggplant ham and the three of us filled up on sides, gathered around the tiny table in our new rental apartment.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
