Joanna’s Last Week

Joanna

Joanna Sapir joined the Ice Chamber in June 2006 to lose the extra weight she gained during her second pregnancy. Not surprisingly, she adapted to our style of training quickly and began noticing changes in herself that went well beyond fat loss. Here’s what she has to say about spending the past year at the IC:

“Not only did that extra weight come off (I dropped four sizes), but I found that meeting the challenges of the workouts has been truly empowering for me. I’m stronger not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. I now seek challenge in all aspects of my life, and I prioritize physical fitness, as I can feel the difference it makes in my happiness and health. It really has been an amazing, transformative experience that I don’t think any place but the Ice Chamber could have guided me through.”

Joanna used that renewed sense of vitality to make some major changes in her life. She recently decided to take a break from public teaching in Oakland and is now moving to the country with her two young boys. Bon voyage Joanna! We’ll really miss you.
