At 67, Glenn Diamond has spent a lifetime producing sports for
others, from Major League Baseball to the WNBA.
But this year, he decided it was time to start producing a
stronger version of himself.
Glenn says he had always been active, but a couple of years ago,
“I knew I was not at the peak of my health. I just wasn’t
comfortable with where I was in my health and fitness.” His
doctor urged him to improve key blood markers.
So, he cleaned up his diet with help from a nutritionist — “less
sugar, less volume, more protein” — and lost about 30 pounds.
Then, encouraged by his wife, he joined Alloy Personal Training
in February.
He likes that it’s not a typical, big gym full of 20-something
musclemen and loud music. He says he feels better and has gained
muscle from his three weekly workouts, and he loves his cohort of
group members.
“These are my peeps,” he says. “I feel like this place was built
for me. There’s no excuse for me not to get myself there.”
We bet you’ll feel the same way. Call us today for your free

Diabetes Awareness: What Are Sugar Spikes?
You’ve probably heard that some foods cause your blood sugar to
“spike.” The glycemic index (GI) helps explain why, ranking foods
on a scale of 0 to 100 for how quickly they raise blood sugar.
* High-GI foods like white bread, sugary snacks, and cereals
cause sharp increases that fade just as fast, so you’re tired or
hungry right after.
* Low-GI foods like whole grains, beans, and non-starchy
vegetables digest more slowly and keep energy steady.
Choose more low-GI foods for better weight management, heart
health, and blood sugar. This makes a big difference in
preventing and treating Type 2 diabetes.
But you don’t have to memorize numbers. Just eat less processed,
and more natural, foods. You’ll notice the difference.
