Testimonials

Randy has lost 12 pounds since completing orientation this past December. He watched the Rolling Strong videos and learned that keeping up with your health while driving is crucial. He eats baked chicken, fish, and shrimp tacos while out on the road. Randy snacks on dried fruits and nuts to help keep him from over eating when he gets bored while out on the road.

He exercises every day, doing at least a half mile around his truck daily. This gets his blood pumping and helps bring down his blood sugar. Randy is going to start incorporating exercises with weights in order to help tone and build muscle. Congratulations, Randy, and keep up the great work!

Patrick has lost 15 pounds since driving a month ago. He learned from Rolling Strong (Coach Ciara) that making small changes can help better his health while driving out on the road. Some of the changes he has made are eating only when he is hungry, making better snacking decisions, and walking more each day. Congrats…he is only starting his journey. He wants to lose a hundred more pounds.

I have made some drastic changes in order to better myself after working with the CDL Wellness Coach at Don Hummer Trucking. I used the Health Check Station and it showed me some information that I wasn’t happy with. I have since cut out soda and eating junk snacks. I drink coffee, water, and OJ, and eat apples along with other healthy snacks. My breakfast is oatmeal with honey, which gives me the pick-up I need. Lunch is normally a PB&J sandwich, and dinner is a Healthy Choice microwavable meal with a bag of steamed veggies.”

“My goal is to lower my weight by another 25 pounds! When I get to the yard, I use the Health Check Station in order to get my numbers and I have been keeping track of my progress. I plan to get one of the FIT systems as well for use in the truck while I’m on the road.

I have lowered my blood pressure by 14 points and lost 3.5 pounds over the last 2 weeks by cutting out fast foods, walking 3-5 miles per day and increasing my water intake.

I met with Coach Nancy, my Rolling Strong Coach, back in September and we discussed diet, exercise, and quitting smoking. I am a vegetarian, so my diet is pretty healthy, but I wanted ideas to help bring down my blood pressure so that it was within a normal range. Nancy gave me some great suggestions, and today, my BP has improved. I have also lost 6 pounds AND I’ve quit smoking/vaping completely!

Rolling Strong impacted my life by encouraging me to change my eating habits and to start walking more. I purchased the FIT System back in March of 2016. I’ve lost 49 pounds and my blood pressure has dropped 25 points and I’ve managed to keep it down. Through my fitness routine I’ve managed to strengthen my knee, cleared my lunges, and I’m not concerned about getting sleep apnea. At my age those are good numbers.

Manuel has lost 5 pounds since going through Greyhound driving school. He learned with the help of Rolling Strong that cutting back on soda and drinking more water can help you lose weight while driving out on the road. He uses a walking app to help him reach his 8,000 daily steps. Combine his walking with a few diet changes and his efforts are paying off. Congrats to this driver and his weight loss.

Since working with the Rolling Strong Health Coach, I’ve lost weight and feel more energetic. I love the accountability, the coaching, taking small steps to change, and learning how to de-stress with breath.

I set my goal 10 pounds. Lorrie, the Rolling Strong Coach at the Hutchins terminal, taught me the importance of water and so with the help of Rolling Strong I have gone down 6 pounds already. ONLY 4 more pounds to GO to reach my goal!!!!

Kevin has lost 16 pounds over the past two months. He learned during orientation, from the Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach, how important it is to drink water when he is driving. His main weight loss tip is to stay away from truck stop foods. He now eats veggies, fruits, and salads while out on the road. Kevin enjoys smoothies and tries to limit his bread intake while driving. Congratulations, Kevin! Keep up the great work.

I am a trainer at Covenant, and every month I stop by Rolling Strong to introduce my students to the coaches. I want my guys to understand fully what Rolling Strong has to offer, and I know I need to bring them straight to the source – the Rolling Strong coaches. I educate them on making proper selections, correct portion sizes, and explain that their metabolism isn’t what it would be if they were working a normal job. I try to encourage them to eat fresh fruit when it’s available and when I order, I make sure it’s in small quantities. I also teach them to slow down while they eat so their body has enough time to signal to their brain that they’ve had enough.

A few months ago I started working with Kristy, the Rolling Strong telephonic coach, and learning about what I could do to improve my heath. Since I started, Kristy has taught me about what foods are good for me, what foods to stay away from, and above all – portion control. I cut my food intake, got a Fitbit, and started setting goals. It was hard because I love to eat, but now it is easier. Before I started my walking regime, I would walk half way through Walmart and I was done. I hurt and just didn’t want to do anymore. But now my goal is 5,000 steps a day, and most days I exceed that.”

“In December, I got on a scale at a Petro station and I about died. I had never weighed so much! I went to my doctor and my cholesterol was 50 points too high and my liver enzymes were high as well. With my new-found knowledge from Kristy, a whole new diet, and now my walking, I have lost 22 pounds in the last few months and my cholesterol is perfect. My liver enzymes were improved and my blood pressure had decreased by 20 points. As a result, I feel like a new man. I still have a long way to go, but with the help and support that I receive from the Rolling Strong program and those in my personal life I will continue to strive to meet my goals. Thanks for everything.

I’ve lost 25 pounds since January by eating healthy! This includes eating lots of veggies, salmon, and portion control. I commit to 5 days per week of HIIT training in addition to staying accountable with weekly Rolling Strong Health Checks and coaching with my CDL Wellness Coach.

After struggling to pass my agility test for the 2nd time, I did not think I would be able to pass because I could not fully get up on the trailer stand. But, after working with my Rolling Strong coaches for a few hours, I was amazed when I finally PASSED! Thank you Rolling Strong!!

If he does happen to eat at a truck stop, he visits the salad bar and water is his drink of choice. He plans to continue to do the most he can to improve his health. Great job, Jose!

After talking with my Rolling Strong Coach Melanie, I have lost 3 pounds in two weeks. I’ve started tracking my calories and have increased my water intake. In addition, I try to exercise as much as possible, whether it’s parking far away at the truck stops or rest area, or just walking around my truck at all shippers or receivers. I also use the FIT System on the truck. My goal is 35 pounds lost by September. I have also quit smoking and stopped drinking sodas. Thank you Rolling Strong!!

These small changes has helped him lose weight effortlessly and he is still able to enjoy his favorite foods on occasion. Great job.

I lost 3 pounds this week by increasing vegetables and drinking water. The scale wasn’t moving & I was trying to lose, stopped soda, increased water but didn’t realize that I wasn’t eating many veggies until the Rolling Strong Coach asked if I was eating them. So, I focused on increasing them and the scale started moving!
