"After the show I struggled to keep the weight off. I hired a personal trainer, but continued to gain weight," Queen said. "I found Redefined Fitness by accident. I kept seeing their sign while taking my dog to daycare. It was advertising a $5 boot camp. I was interested, so I called and spoke with the owner."

She says they talked for over an hour about her goals and what she wanted to get out of the gym, then they met a few days later to be weighed, measured and had her goals reviewed.

"My favorite thing about the gym is the personal training part," she said. "The trainers there are all well-educated and know what they are doing. They lay out every workout for you so you can meet your goals. The cost of the plans are based on how many days you want to work out with your trainer next to you. Every plan comes with a nutritional plan and you can use the gym every day they are open. They also offer free Zumba twice a week for members of the community."

Gym owner Donte Anglade said his trainers are the key to a happier and healthier client.

"Starting a new fitness journey can seem daunting if it has been a while since you've really been in a gym," Anglade said. "For some people fitness has never been a major part of their lives and trying to change this at times be overwhelming. Our trainers will work with you to give you all the tools and support that you need to meet your goals."

Queen said this gym is changing lives.

"I love most days there," she joked. "I can feel myself getting stronger. I have been going since September and I am making great progress. My waist is only 2 inches bigger than it was when I filmed the finale of the show. My trainer pushes me so far out of my comfort zone and I appreciate him for that. The people that are members are all friendly and encouraging."

Redefined Fitness located at 814 Tucker Court, Winder, GA 30680. The phone number is 770-827-0209.
