As an Ultra Fit trainer in Anderson, South Carolina I would like to thank my mentor and friend Mr Defendis, as well as, Dr. Daniels for an excellent job on getting the truth out there.  It is time we take a stand and start a health revolution in South Carolina.  Let us all create a better life for ourselves, our children, and our neighbors.  Tomorrow is not guranteed, lets start today.  Once again, awesome job John and Dr Daniels.  Thanks

I think what John Defendis is doing for fitness in South Carolina is awesome and state of the art. As a Medical Doctor,Doctor of Chiropractic and an Exercise Physiologist I can truthfully say that I have used his program personally and at age 60 I am in the best shape of my life as a result.  I feel that anyone with a weight problem should embark on such a program of such high standards under the directions of an expert John Defendis. I personally have tried other training programs and aerobic fitness routines but found the program orchestrated by John Defendis, Mr. USA to be superior and result producing. 
The people of Greenville area are very lucky to have such a motivator and expert in fitness.  With the epidemic of Type II Diabetes sweeping this country due to the obesity epidemic this type of program lends hope to those individuals.

Great segment. Glad to see a doctor have input on the importance of weight training and diminishing the “bulk up” fear most women have. John DeFendis continues to spread the word on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle as well as addressing the cardio-craze americans have. Ultra Fit is the real deal—try it—it is the only way to live healthy.

Great Job Mr. DeFenis and Dr. Daniels!  As an Ultra Fit Personal Trainer at COOP’s Health and Fitness in Anderson, SC I am honored to be a part of this great staff of caring individuals led by Mr. USA himself, John DeDendis.  We are making a difference in the lives of South Carolinians and are committed to making an impact on our world.  Thank you Mr. DeFendis for you passion and wisdom.  Thanks also to Jack and Kimberly for having the wisdom to have Mr. DeFendis and Dr. April on your program to further educate the public on the need for increased awareness of Obesity and how it is affecting not only our state and our country but also the whole world.

Kel Cox | August 23, 2010 at 11:46 pm

What an outstanding message today! Congratulations Mr. Defendis and Dr. Daniels on highlighting the reality that weight training is the best and surest way to increase metabolism, burn fat and sustain long term weight loss.

Graham Sesler | August 24, 2010 at 1:12 am

FINALLY! Very well put John and April. As a Ultrafit personal trainer and a 3 time world champion powerlifter I can atesst that there is no greater truth than what you guys are promoting. I have maintained my bodyweight at 181 (competition weight) for over 10 years, continuing to lift heavier and stronger week after week. Thanks to John and the ultrafit system Iam closing in on an 800lb. squat!!!
My bodyfat percentage is very low, yes I have abs and you guessed it I havent done “CARDIO” since I was a teenager, nearly 20 years ago.
Thank you John,
Thank you Dr. April,

Great Segment!  As a retired NYC police officer and 9/11 veteran I can personally attest that no only is hours upon hours of cardio detrimental but also who has time for it? I was lucky in those days to get an hour to myself!  Last year, after a hiatus of 22 years from Bodybuilding competition, I trained with Mr. Steve Michalik (Ultrafit Fitness Director, Spartanburg)for only about 1 intense hour of weight training per day. the result? 4% bodyfat and at the age of 50 won the whole show and beat men aged from teens to above my own. i also would like to mention that 18 months prior to that for the first time in my life I had allowed myself to become grossly fat (5’10”,328lbs). weight training not only allowed me to take off over 100 pounds in a relatively short period of time, but, also to do it in a very healthful way. With weight training only my blood pressure y was 127/76 and my resting heart rate is 56! those are stats for a 20 year old! 
The inspiration I gained from this brought me back to fitness and better than that a full and productive life!

FINALLY!  THE TRUTH!  Great segment Mr. D and April!  Thank you for getting some truth out there!

Joe | August 24, 2010 at 12:32 pm

My wife just started the Ultra Fit program about 3 weeks ago and is thrilled with her results so far. She has tried almost every diet program and fitness machine you can think of but none held her intrest long enough to do any good. I think the Ultra Fit program is going to work for her.

Does anyone know of a good source of recipes - I cook for her most of the time??????????

William Jenkins | August 24, 2010 at 3:46 pm

As always John you are right on the mark. The tax money should go to education. I would cast my vote for Mr. Defendis to be South Carolina’s Spokes person to fight obesity in our great state. Keep up the fight we are all behind you 100%.

Paula Rogers | August 24, 2010 at 6:12 pm

Great segment John and April!! Thanks for getting the truth out there… Ultra Fit Works!

John DeFendis | August 27, 2010 at 7:40 am

Thank you “Your Carolina” and Kimberly Kelly, Jack Roper and Megan Heidlberg for giving us the opportunity to spread the word about Obesity and how we can attack this problem.
My goal is to take South Carolina from the 4th highest state of Obesity and get it out of the Top 10 within the next 12 months. By 2014 I would like South Carolina to be one of the the healthiest states in the country.
With “Your Carolina” and WSPA 7 we can make this happen.
Thank you Dr. April for doing a great job on the show!

Mike Baehser | August 27, 2010 at 9:13 am

i started the ultrafit program back in may 2007, and after several previous failed attempts at weight loss, i lost 40 lbs in about 10 weeks, and became stronger than i’d ever thought possible! in 2009 i finally decided to pursue my dream of becoming a personal trainer, to help others realize their potential that is FAR beyond their own percieved capabilities.

i ‘m fortunate to have the opportunity now, which isn’t only a career as a personal trainer…but working for the ultrafit team that helped to change my life in ways i’d never imagined; working alongside people who have passion and care for helping others, the way i do. i’m living proof that defendis and his program can do amazing things for people.

there’s more potential and greatness within all of us than we realize, we just have to find the right people to bring that out!

Ryan Clark | August 27, 2010 at 10:00 am

Thank you ‘Your Carolina’ for allowing us to share our passion with the public.  Mr. Defendis and Dr. Daniels have a great idea and are taking the initiative to help our neighbors.  “An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure”.

David Robb | August 27, 2010 at 10:03 am

Another Fantastic segment Mr. Defendis and Dr. Daniels. I am really excited to be a part of such a great movement, and one that is going to help thousands of people here in SC lose weight in the right way and not only doing that but building self confidence and self worth at the same time. SC is going to benefit hugely from a healthier workforce!

Mr. DeFendis and Dr. April, thank you for all that you do for everyone both here and abroad.

I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to be a part of the Ultra Fit program and help create a healthier community with it! Not only is Ultra Fit 100% effective and can work for everyone, it is also the safest way to weight loss! Thank you so much Mr. DeFendis and Dr. Daniels for putting in the time and effort to broadcast a truly helpful program that can change anyone’s life for the better!

Josh Dorr | August 27, 2010 at 11:44 am

Fantanstic segment John and Dr. April.  That is exactly what we do daily with our clients day in and day out and is a great priviledge to have the chance to be on television and reach more people.  If more people become educated on how EASY it is to get in shape and transform their bodys and health there would be a transformation of the Upstate’s health profile as a whole.  Excellent you guys!

Kenyon Matthews | August 27, 2010 at 11:58 am

Love it! We finally getting our message out to be heard. Greenville really needs to hear this thank your

Alex Wilson | August 27, 2010 at 2:35 pm

I am extremely stoked about getting the message out to the upstate, South Carolinians, and anyone who will listen, about the keys to a healthier and happier life!  Mr. D and Dr. Daniels, you are the forerunners in a movement that has been long awaited!  I thank you for your commitment, and am ecstatic to be a part of the Ultra Fit team!

Holly May | August 28, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Such a Great and Important message! I have been blessed to be a member of John’s team as an Ultra Fit Trainer and have also experienced first hand what Ultra Fit can do for your health. In less than 6 months I dropped my cholesterol 82 points and was taken off my blood pressure medication after only 6 weeks. Everyone needs to take their health seriously. The Ultra Fit Program can change your life for the bette!

Karim Nieves | August 28, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Great job.As an Ultra Fit Personal Trainer I would like to thank John Defendis and Dr. Daniels for taking time to educate the public on the importance of weight training and proper nutrition. I would also like to thank “Your Carolina” for giving Ultra Fit the chance to spread our knowledge, so together we can win the fight against obesity in the upstate and throughout the Carolinas.

Wardell Crosby | August 29, 2010 at 11:32 pm

John and Dr. April Daniels did a great job explaining how weight training with the Ultra Fit nutrition program will produce PHENOMENAL RESULTS than just doing hours of cardio everyday.  Thank you both for the opportunity for me to listen on how to get my clients in the best shape of their life!!
