Testimonials

Our Rolling Strong CDL Wellness coach presented the program really well and made me want to participate. The presentation convinced me I could “win.” My blood pressure is down and my positive outlook is up! Thank you Rolling Strong.

My Rolling Strong Wellness Coach taught a meditation technique that was really helpful. Anytime I began to feel frustrated at work or home, I would use it to help me relax and get focused. Thanks Coach!

During my Greyhound training, Rolling Strong provided the class with different techniques including meditation, portion control, and different exercises we can do while we are working (ex: when pre tripping our bus). I plan to use this information to help me with my weight loss plan.

Thank you Rolling Strong,

Michelle L.

Michael worked with Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach Kasey to find ways to eat better and have more energy. The first change Michael made was what he was eating from fast food restaurants. He often finds it hard to get a good meal, but learned how to make better choices at restaurants. He changed his McDonald’s order from 2 quarter-pound burgers with extra cheese and fries, to a grilled chicken wrap instead. He said his hunger was actually more satisfied with the grilled chicken wrap as opposed to his old order and he plans to continue referencing the “Nutrition in the Fast Lane Dining Guide” to make better food choices. Michael also made a big change in his beverage choices. He was regularly drinking 4 or 5 bottles of Dr. Pepper each day with little to no water. After seeing the “Added Sugars” display put out by CDL Wellness Coach Kasey, he decided that he needed to make a change. He now drinks 1 or2 Dr. Peppers and has added 32 ounces of water into his daily routine. Michael said that by drinking more water he doesn’t get tired as easily and can make it through his day without feeling the need for as many pick-me-ups. Great work Michael. These small steps will add up to big changes over time. Keep it up!

I received good information from our CDL Wellness Coach. I now have a better understanding of how to be healthier. I used to eat out daily, but now I will make the effort to prepare meals before leaving home. I am also more aware that my frequent headaches, which may be due to dehydration. I plan to increase my daily water intake to 32oz. of water daily. Thank you Rolling Strong!

Melvin has lost 25 pounds and has cut his tobacco usage by more than half. He is drinking less than 1/4 of the sodas that he used to drink and has increased his water consumption to nearly 1 gallon per day. His goal is to lose another 75 pounds and to quit smoking altogether. “Rolling Strong is a great program if you follow it. Just take your coach’s advice. It’s all on you!” Way to go, Melvin!

My body has really benefited from watching my portion size with food. I feel less tired after eating. I’ve increased my water intake and I am sleeping better. The advice our Rolling Strong Wellness Coached offered has also motivated me to exercise more. I do this by walking more, which has boosted my energy levels. Thank you Rolling Strong!

Since listening to the Rolling Strong presentation I have begun to rethink how I respond to stressful situations and the overall impact to my health. I am accustomed to living in a fast-paced environment. Living in this type of environment can be overwhelming. Living at a fast pace has affected my health in profound ways. Stress has increased my blood pressure and caused me to have headaches and feel fatigued. I plan to implement the meditation and calming techniques demonstrated during the W.E.L.L talk into my daily regimen. I believe this will have a positive effect on lowering my blood pressure, clear my thinking, and reduce headache occurrences. My goal is to function better and focus on living a healthier lifestyle. Thank you Rolling Strong!

Since the Rolling Strong presentation I have grown to understand my health better. I am even eating healthier snacks. It is going to be a process to make an improvement but I plan to stick with this program. I am now confident that I can make these changes in my health. Thank you Rolling Strong.

Rolling Strong has given me a better understanding on what I need to know relating to my physical, emotional and mental health. I am now able to address each of these areas in my life. Thank you Rolling Strong.

Lucious has lost 10 pounds in the past 3 weeks by simply improving his diet and practicing portion control. He focuses more on eating whole foods instead of processed fast food, drinking water instead of sodas, and walking every day. He believes the information he has received from his Rolling Strong coach has helped him to be more intentional about his health and wellness.

Since talking with the Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach, my eyes and mind have been opened to a better and healthier lifestyle. I will begin taking better care of myself and managing what I eat. They say what you put in is what you get out! I will start putting “good” in, so my return will be good! Thank you Rolling Strong.

For the past couple of years I have been trying to get back to my “original size.” A few things I have tried worked and a few didn’t. After gaining knowledge from the Rolling Strong program, I have been able to maintain my weight. I am using the methods and techniques taught during the W.E.L.L talk to focus on my energy in a positive way. Thank you for an awesome program, Rolling Strong!

With Rolling Strong’s help, Larry has lost 38 pounds total, and 19 pounds in the past month! He has cut back on breads, pasta, and sugary foods, and is drinking at least one gallon of water per day, as well as exercising more. He just purchased a FIT System for his truck and has already started using it. He is very happy with his progress and motivated to continue on his journey to wellness!

I have always been active and when I started working at Covenant I began working out on my own. Although I enjoyed that, I never kept a good routine and talked myself out of working out most days. I didn’t have great energy and started to become lazy with my workouts. Several months ago, I had a friend who was working out in a Rolling Strong class and wanted me to join so we could push each other. I decided to give it a shot and immediately loved it. For about 3 months now, I have been working out with Melanie at Rolling Strong. It is a continuous challenge and helps me relieve all my stress for the day. It has helped me get stronger and get back in the routine I needed. I am starting to see inches disappear and could not be more grateful to be involved in the Rolling Strong classes at Covenant Transport. I cannot wait to continue to see progress and meet my goals!

The meditation exercise our Rolling Strong coach demonstrated during the W.E.L.L talk helped a lot. It relieved stress for me! Having a military background, I tend to over think many experiences. The meditation exercise was very beneficial in reducing stress during my training at the Greyhound school.

John worked with Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey to find ways to lower his blood pressure. They worked together to set a goal for John to monitor and limit his daily sodium intake to 2,000 mg or less. John was able to accomplish this goal by reading the labels on his food and spreading out his sodium consumption between meals to stay under his goal. Within three weeks, his systolic blood pressure had decreased by 12 points and his diastolic blood pressure reduced by 3 points. John has also been working to manage his time more efficiently and driving shorter days which he says has helped him reduce work stress significantly. This goes to show that by making your own physical and mental health a priority, you can see great results! Great work, John! Keep it up!

The Rolling Strong Program helped me a lot during my training at the Greyhound school. Before I rarely drank water, but after starting the wellness program with Rolling Strong I have increased my water intake which has helped me stay hydrated while driving.

I found the hydration portion of the W.E.L.L message to be beneficial. I am now watching what I eat and drink.

Gregory has lost 25 lbs since October with the help of Rolling Strong. He stopped drinking soda and now gets the proper water intake daily to help with hydration and decreased calorie intake AND he moves more! He has made new health goals with the Dallas Rolling Strong coach and will check back in a couple of months to check on progress.

Greg has been working with Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach Kasey to lose weight and lower his blood pressure. In the past 4 months Greg has successfully accomplished both. The biggest change he made was eliminating processed sugars and packaged foods from his diet. He says his dinners now consist of a healthy protein, vegetables, and whole grains. He also makes healthy choices when going out to eat, and practices portion control. He has decreased his soda consumption and exercises for 30-45 minutes at least twice a week. Greg says he was tired of the ups and downs of traditional dieting and that consistently choosing healthy, whole foods feels so much simpler and more natural. Great job! These are fantastic improvements!

Rolling Strong is a great program, it makes drivers aware of our health and how to improve our bodies and how to live better. I see the changes. I for one am a rehire. Since I left Greyhound I lost touch with myself. Now that I am back, I feel I need to get back to good health. I’ve been in the gym, walking, drinking more water and watching what I eat. My goal is to lose over 70 pounds but I am taking baby steps. Thank you Rolling Strong

I have high blood pressure, our Rolling Strong wellness coach explained different health option to lower my blood pressure. Thank you for sharing this information and keeping me informed. Keep up the great work!

Since I met my Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach, she has been very pleasant in teaching me how to meditate. I find this to be very useful and have been meditating once a day. My coach has also introduced me to healthier eating through coaching conversations and providing me with handouts that offer valuable tips on exercise and eating.

During the Rolling Strong W.E.L.L talk, I found the mediation practice greatly beneficial. It helps me clear my thoughts and reduce some of the stress I feel. It allows me to reset my feelings, renew my energy, and start over again.

I have been using the meditation exercises. I found them very beneficial. Thank you Rolling Strong!

David has been working with Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey to reduce his consumption of sugar sweetened energy drinks. He has successfully reduced his intake from one per day to one per week and is now down to one per month. As a result he has seen his weight come down and he says that he does not crave it now like he used to and he views it as a treat rather than a daily need. Great work, small changes provide big results!

After the Rolling Strong presentation I began using meditation techniques during stressful moments. I also learned the benefits of eating healthy and staying hydrated. I tried eating smaller portions and drinking more water and noticed that I was fuller longer and I didn’t feel sluggish like I used to feel. Thanks Rolling Strong!

I was reminded by Rolling Strong that good physical health brings good mental health. I will begin to put both of these into practice in my daily life.

Charles worked with Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey to find ways to make better choices and lose weight over-the-road. He has been eating smaller portions at meals and goes grocery shopping once a week so he can prepare food in the truck and avoid the food in truck stops and restaurants. Charles also cut back on soda consumption. He used to drink several bottles of Pepsi each day and he currently drinks one or less. As a result of these changes, Charles has lost 13 pounds in a little over five months. Great work and way to make small but meaningful changes!
