Tired of the struggle — and won.

"I was struggling with my weight for years and hit my breaking point in January 2024 at 209 lbs. Then I found Body Temple VA. Over 14 months I went from 209 to 156 lbs. Cheryl provides an encouraging atmosphere with the drive, patience, support and understanding I needed."

Strong at 75 — and counting.

"Strong at every age. At 75, I've discovered that fitness isn't about chasing perfection — it's about showing up, moving with joy, and celebrating progress. I work out three times a week, and I invite you to embrace your own journey with me. Together, we can redefine what strength looks like at every stage of life."

Every photo tells a story of strength, joy, and resilience — fitness is about progress, not perfection.

“Finally understanding the hormonal relationship and the battle with my body’s response.”
