Testimonials

I lowered my blood pressure 15 points with a simple breathing technique that I learned from the Rolling Strong CDL wellness coaches! I’m eating healthier foods such as avocados, blueberries, apples, and drinking lots of water.

With the help of the Rolling Strong Wellness Coach, Terry has lost 11 pounds! His systolic blood pressure has dropped 10 points on average and he has lost two inches along his waist line. He has made big changes to the way he eats and thinks about his health. He has cut a total of 18 deli sandwiches a week out and is instead eating more fruits and vegetables. Great job Terry! Keep up the great work!

The Rolling Strong wellness program is very encouraging and motivating. I found the information on daily water intake and options for eating healthy snacks very informative.

I began attending the Rolling Strong led training class the first week of August after talking to one of my co-workers who had been participating in it. My initial goal was to gain strength and muscle tone. In just three months since I started the class, I’ve lost 1/2 inch in my thighs, 1/2 inch in my waist, 1/2 inch in my chest, and 3 1/2 inches in my hips! Even though I’ve lost very little weight (which was not one of my goals), I can wear clothing that I couldn’t before and I feel so much stronger. I’m very pleased with the results, particularly since I’m only working out three days a week and it’s free! I plan to continue training as long as CDL Wellness Coach Melanie is available!

The advice our Rolling Strong coached offered on portion control was very helpful. I will apply it to improve my current eating habits. Thank you Rolling Strong!

Steven decided to cut back on carbohydrates by avoiding breads and pastas, using tortilla wraps for sandwiches, and choosing salads. He also decided to stop eating a bag of potato chips each day as a snack. Steven drinks quite a bit of coffee each morning so he has started using less coffee grounds in order to cut back on caffeine. As a result, he lost four pounds in just two weeks and brought his blood pressure down over 10 points which reduced his risk one hypertension category. By cutting back on caffeine and drinking more water he also brought his hydration status from low to normal. Great work, Steven, good results will keep coming with small lifestyle changes!

I found the Rolling Strong wellness presentation to be highly beneficial. I appreciate the information shared, it will be a constant reminder that I will apply in order to stay healthy.

The Rolling Strong wellness program taught me to eat healthier foods. I am interested in living and eating healthy. I will start eating healthier and exercising to live a healthier life style.

Russell has lost 6 lbs with the help of Rolling Strong since going through Greyhound orientation in LA. He drinks lots of water to help keep him hydrated and his calorie count down throughout the day. He also watches what he eats while out on the road. He has incorporated more greens into his diet and instead of lettuce he opts for a more fibrous/vitamin rich food such as spinach. Also, he goes to Wal-Mart and walks around for an hour to help circulate blood and burn calories. He added new health goals in Dallas and hopes to see more weight loss in the coming months.

Keep up the good work!

Robin has lost weight with help from her Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach. She now incorporates a daily protein shake into her diet to help keep her feeling satisfied. Robin’s health coach suggested Premier Protein Shakes because they are easy to take on the road and low in sugar. She freezes them and says they taste like dessert which helps keep her evening meal calorie count down. Robin also snacks on Skinny Pop Popcorn to help increase her fiber and good fat intake. Congrats, and keep up the good work!

After the W.E.L.L. talk presentation I use the health knowledge and apply it to my daily eating routine. I realize that applying the health tips taught I can change my health for the better forever.

Randy has done a great job being consistent with his new health habits while working with his Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach. This winter he intends to be active chopping wood in order to stay fit.

The dehydration piece of the W.E.L.L. talk was enlightening, I did not realize this could be a cause for high blood pressure. My Rolling Strong Coach also showed me how to meditate and calm down after a long stressful day of driving. I find meditating calming and relaxing. Thank you!

Congratulations once again to Pat! He has lost a total of 59 pounds while on the road and has dropped two pants sizes. Pat has promised to keep going and he is definitely keeping his word. Great job, Pat, you make everyone at Rolling Strong so proud!!

The Rolling Strong wellness presentation was informative and quite useful. Portion control, meditation, and the importance of an exercise regimen brought to light the need for programs such as Rolling Strong. Thank you.

Nick has lowered his BP by almost 10 points within the past month by decreasing the amount of sodas and instead drinking more water. According to Nick, “Rolling Strong is the greatest!”

The Rolling Strong wellness program was very helpful. It made me realize that some of the things I was eating, drinking, and even stressing over aren’t good for my health. The meditation exercises we did during the W.E.L.L. talk is something that relaxes me. I will try to do them from this day forward. Meditation is a tool that doesn’t take much time and it clears my mind.

Thank you Rolling Strong!

Miguel has lost 37 lbs since going through orientation back in March of 2016. He has made small lifestyle changes that he is able to keep up for the rest of his life. His magic weapon for weight loss consists of eating less food and going for hikes on hiking trails during any downtime. He has also cut way back on his soda intake. Congrats to this driver for making healthy changes while out on the road.

Michael has cut back on his daily soda consumption after going through orientation in Hutchins. He went from having four sodas per day to only ONE! This small change has had a ripple effect with Michael’s weight causing him to lose six pounds in one week! He plans on continuing to have only one soda per day while out on the road. Congrats, Michael!

I lowered my systolic blood pressure 18 points by decreasing my consumption of sodium and caffeine!

I benefited greatly from the topics covered by our Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach. I am now drinking more water, eating more fruit, and consuming less sugar. Now that I am aware of “good and bad carbs”, I am making healthier food choices throughout my day. I have also incorporated more intentional walking into my daily routine.

The W.E.L.L. talk was very informative and it has allowed me to relieve stress and refocus. I think the Rolling Strong Wellness Program is a wonderful program. I have several family members who are CDL drivers and I intend to share the healthy tips I have learned with them!

I have lost 65 pounds using the Fit System! The Rolling Strong coaching team showed me how well it works in addition to teaching me healthy nutrition tips. Since June of last year, I’ve worked really hard to lose weight by cooking on my truck and working out.

I think everyone needs help with health awareness. The stress reduction meditation practice we did during the W.E.L.L talk is something I would use for my regular life. Thank you Rolling Strong!

The Rolling Strong wellness program has made me realize that I have not been eating healthy. With Rolling Strong’s help, I have been making healthier eating choices.

I found the W.E.L.L. talk very helpful! It provided me with tips to help maintain better eating habits while on the road. I have trouble sleeping and in the past, I would write or listen to music. I have been unable to do that while at the Greyhound training school, so our coach suggested I start exercising prior to going to bed and it actually helped! I also intend to implement the meditation exercises we learned in class. I had never meditated before the W.E.L.L. presentation, but I tried it a few times after our coach did the exercise and found it to be very helpful as well. Thanks, Rolling Strong coaches!

Larry has been training drivers for almost as long as he was a driver – 25 years! He stays fit by working out on and off the basketball court. Larry averages five to seven miles per day just by moving and walking. He encourages his trainees to be well and safe on the road. Larry maintains his good health by parking as far from the actual truck stop as he can when making fuel stops, not eating heavy meals before or during driving, and getting plenty of rest when he is done for the day. These are just some of the wellness tips he gives to his drivers. Larry is a great ambassador for the Rolling Strong wellness program and encourages each of his trainees to enroll as well!

I never recognized the benefits of meditation until the Rolling Strong presentation. I find myself doing the breathing exercises frequently. The ‘living in the now’ part of the presentation helped me to actually deal with present issues internally as well as external. Thank you Rolling Strong!

Lachaze has lost nine pounds since October. He consistently checks both his blood pressure and weight at the higi machine each week with a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach. Lachaze works out at all the terminal gyms during any downtime and he tries to eat Subway most of the time while out on the road. Congrats, Lachaze, on your accomplishments and keep up the good work!

Kevin has been working to change his food and beverage habits while incorporating exercise into his daily routine. He has successfully lowered his body weight, body fat percentage, and BMI over the course of two months. He says he avoids restaurants, eats vegetables with every meal, and avoids snacking throughout the day. He has increased the amount of water he drinks and cut back soda on his soda consumption. He says the added sugars display put together by the Rolling Strong Wellness Coach helped motivate him to drink fewer sugary beverages. Kevin also sets aside time every day to exercise. He uses kettle bells and resistance bands in the truck, and stretches regularly by doing leaning push-ups on his bunk. He looks for opportunities to work in some extra movement, such as parking farther away at trucks stops or taking walks while he waits for loads. Kevin says he appreciates the guidance given to him by the Rolling Strong Wellness Coach and he feels supported in his ongoing weight loss journey. This goes to show that setting aside time for regular activity and taking control of your diet can lead to real results! Great work Kevin, and keep up the great work!
