Testimonials

During my time at the Greyhound training school, the Rolling Strong CDL wellness coaches provided me with information related to the importance of drinking water to stay hydrated. After learning about alkaline water and its benefits, I purchased some and will try drinking it in order to keep myself well hydrated.

Migeuel believes in working out and eating healthy foods.

“It keeps my body feeling better.”

I really enjoyed the gratitude card exercise. It has helped me take a moment to recognize what I am grateful for and what I truly appreciate in life. Thanks, Coach Norie!

Congratulations goes to Michael for losing a total of 203 pounds over the last three years while working with Rolling Strong and their team of CDL wellness coaches!! He accomplished this amazing weight loss by watching what he ate and walking whenever he found the opportunity. Michael continues to read nutrition labels on food in order to make sure his sodium content is not high and he also reads the labels on beverages if he drinks anything other than water. He does not plan on stopping until he reaches his goal. Keep up the great work Michael!

Kirk has not had a cigarette since finishing orientation. He decided to stop and get healthy after listening to the Rolling Strong presentation. Since putting down the cigarettes, he is breathing much easier and is now able to taste his food.

Kirk checks in with the local CDL wellness coach at the terminal for continued support and tips on how to remain successful. Another part of his action plan is to team with a non-smoker. Kirk is working on his diet and has lost seven pounds so far by eating mainly lean meats, steamed vegetables, and increasing his water intake. Congratulations, Kirk, on all your accomplishments!

During the W.E.L.L training session Coach Norie shared meditation practices we can use to reduce daily stress. Both the meditation and gratitude card exercises have helped me to take a step back and think about a situation before I react to it.

I wanted something extra that was accessible to add to my daily workout without having to leave my cab. Rolling Strong has made this possible with the FIT System. Now when I take my breaks I don’t have to leave my truck and I can get a full body workout in just 20 minutes.

I was personally surprised by the information given in the W.E.L.L presentation. Coach Norie explained the importance of finding time for self-care. Finding time for myself is hard and can be easily overlooked. Coach Norie very eloquently passed on tips and advice relating to stress reduction and nutrition. Stress management is very important in this profession, and I will consider using meditation exercises to reduce my stress moving forward. Thanks, Coach Norie!

John worked with Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach Kasey in order to come up with strategies to lose weight. He eliminated his daily soda and started drinking only water after his morning coffee. In one month, he lost 12 pounds and two inches off his waist. John walks 2,000 – 3,000 steps each day and feels much more energetic than before. He loves the feeling of moving his belt buckle to the next notch smaller! Congrats, John, and keep up the great work!

During our training, I was happy to learn about the importance of understanding our lifestyles and taking care of ourselves. Thank you for your advice, Coach Norie!

The Rolling Strong program was very helpful! I learned ways to relax, and the coaches provided information that will help me change my current eating habits.

James has reduced his soda intake since going through orientation with Rolling Strong. He learned that by making small goals he will achieve better overall health. James went from drinking three one liter bottles a day to only drinking one 20-ounce bottle per day in addition to increasing his water intake. There are other wellness goals that James wants to pursue in the future, but he is pacing himself to help achieve his short-term goal. Keep up the great work!

Hector lost six pounds by drinking more water and eating healthy meals while on the road. He also lowered his systolic blood pressure by 20 points utilizing the deep breathing techniques he learned from his Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach. Great job, Hector!

Heather has lost eight pounds since going through orientation in June of 2016. She learned from a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach that making small lifestyle changes really does add up in the end. Heather lost the weight by simply walking her dog every day and increasing her water intake. She is starting to take a whole food based multi-vitamin each day and is making small changes that are beneficial to her health. Congratulations and job well done, Heather!

It’s not very difficult for a truck driver to balance his physical wellness, because I do it with ease. Just sparing 10-15 minutes each day on the road and an hour every day when home goes a long way towards staying in shape.

I found the timing perfect for the whole W.E.L.L. presentation given by Coach Norie. My take away from the talk was to pay closer attention to MY health.

After a few weeks of working with a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach, I have begun to see results. The Rolling Strong program supports me in reaching my weight loss goal and I was able to lose six pounds within the first three weeks of working with my coach. I am excited about meeting my short-term goal and am looking forward to achieving my long-term goals through continuous work with my coach. Thanks, Rolling Strong wellness coaches!

Congratulations to Dierre for losing 16 pounds since he started driving. He worked closely with his Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach, and took the advice he was given seriously. Dierre makes sure to get exercise in by doing step ups on the truck, walking around the truck when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep, as well as making it a point to park as far away from the truck stop as possible. He can now run a quarter of a mile without stopping. Dierre cut back on candy, which improved his blood sugar, and he consistently eats fruits, salads, and sardines. Not only does he eat right and exercise, he also makes sure to get enough sleep every night. Keep up the great work, Dierre!

The Rolling Strong Wellness Program was beneficial because it provided me with necessary information on drinking water. I am not a water drinker, I’m a big soda drinker and I know this is not good for my overall health. The coaches provided valuable information on how I can enjoy drinking water by just adding healthy ingredients like cucumber or fresh fruit. Thanks, Rolling Strong!

I felt that Coach Norie was very informative. She provided great tips on how to reduce my stress, eat healthier, and improve my overall quality of life. I feel as though the Rolling Strong program is not only beneficial but necessary in providing information on how to improve my lifestyle as a professional driver.

About a month ago, Chris visited a Rolling Strong CDL wellness coach and was encouraged to see his doctor because of his critically high blood pressure. While at the doctor, Chris also found out his blood sugar was elevated which led him to change his diet in order to limit sodium, fats and carbohydrates, and he is taking blood pressure medication each day at the same time! Chris has begun to lose some weight and is hopeful he can eventually come off the blood pressure medicine as well as control his blood sugar levels through diet changes he is making. Keep up the good work, Chris!

I’m an over the road truck driver for the last 10 plus years. I have been working with Rolling Strong for one year now through my connection with AAOO. When I started, I was wearing size 18 pants that were tight and men’s extra-large T-shirts. After working with Kristy, my CDL wellness coach, via phone and doing the things she suggested, I was able to lose 52 pounds with her encouragement! I now wear loose fitting size 16 pants and size large men’s T-shirts are baggy on me. I’m very happy about being able to get out and run three plus miles without stopping! I just feel better all around. I’m looking forward to working with Rolling Strong in the upcoming year to reach my fitness and weight goals. I want to thank Kristy and the Rolling Strong team for their encouragement!

I just want to encourage the other drivers out there and let them know that it is possible to lose weight and be a professional driver. I’ve found a diet that works great for me and I’m able to stick to it. Find something you can do and just do it!

I think Coach Norie was great! She spoke about eating healthy and making time for myself. Taking time for myself is one of my biggest problems. As a result, I have started eating more produce and try to schedule some me time. The meditation steps Coach Norie taught us in class have been working great for me. I really appreciate her taking the time to share with our class.

Walter at Greyhound Dallas maintenance center always sends new employees over for biometric readings! He always has a smile on his face and enjoys the program that Rolling Strong provides Greyhound employees. Thanks Walter for caring about your fellow co-workers’ health and well-being.

Thank you Rolling Strong CDL wellness coaches! As a soon to be father to my second child, I found the information our coach shared with the class very beneficial. Trying to find a work/life balance can be difficult. The W.E.L.L. message gave me the necessary tools in order to be successful. I have been applying the health and wellness tips I learned to my daily routine and I am definitely noticing a difference. Thanks again, Rolling Strong!

Tyrone has lost 10 pounds by being active each time the truck stops. He does 100 push-ups, 300+ jump rope, and power jacks each day to help build strength and burn body fat. Tyrone also runs the parking lots at the fuel stations. He checks in with RS each time while at the terminal in Hutchins to check on progress and receive extra health tips and encouragement. He has also increased his water intake each day to help keep calorie count down. He says he wants to continue with his health goals and remain the best version of himself while driving down the road.

Since our first meeting only one month ago in November of 2017, Tracy was able to bring her blood pressure down by 40 points! She attributes her success to strict commitment to changing her diet and avoiding some of her favorite fried foods and high-sodium meats like pastrami. Great job Tracy!

I really want to encourage people to find what works for them! I found a diet plan that works for me and I have lost more than 15 pounds in two months. The Rolling Strong CDL wellness coaching team has been a huge encouragement and has kept me motivated. I have also started running on the treadmill which has led to my increased energy!

Todd joined the October No Candy Challenge that was hosted by Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Kasey and pledged to give up candy for the entire month. Todd went above and beyond and decided to continue avoiding packaged candy and refined sugar in general. It has been nearly four months since he ate any candy. Todd says, “I can feel the difference in my immune system after cutting refined sugars from my diet and I haven’t gotten sick at all this winter!” He craves sugar much less now that he has stopped eating it, and sticking to his goal has become easier and easier. Great work Todd, this is a huge accomplishment!
