As I sat there watching Jaun do Carole’s fitness assessment – taking pics and drinking my iced coffee I could totally see why she is getting such good results with him for a trainer. He payed attention – took time to explain things and helped motivate her to push past her previous times.

One of the things I thought was really cool about Juan’s training is that you can opt for the food assessment and he will creating a special weekly menu specifically for your needs. Carole chose this option and in addition to her weekly food menu – Juan also went through a bunch of restaurant menu’s and customized them for her so that Carole could still eat out but will have the healthy options to choose from and be easily able to remember what they are. In doing this he  talks to the chefs and finds our how they prepare the food – just because she can eat conch fritters at one place does not mean she can have them everywhere. On certain weeks she is even ok to go for to Dandie’s and enjoy raspberry sorbet on a sugar cone – how cool is that.

Carole has been working out 4 times a week with Juan and doing his food plan for 2 months now and over the course of that time her body shape has changed a lot and she has been getting more compliments that ever. When Carole started her weight was  112 and that dropped to to 103.6. Her body fat was  22.7 %  and she is now at 10.4%. Since she has dropped enough in those 2 areas Juan has asked her what her new goals are and she said she wants 6 pack abs and to tighten and tone.

Carole says that as a result of sticking to her work out and food program she is feeling better than ever. She has noticed improvements to her neck and back and does not feel sore anymore when she is working a long day or doing a cart ride north on bumpy roads.

Juan said he definitely notices her increased strength – better cardio and said that it will not be long before she gets those lean tight results she is looking for.

If you are looking for someone to help you get good healthy results Juan is your man. You can contact him at Juan Alamilla 627-8496  or  jjalamilla[at]live[dot]com to set up a consultation.

Great job, Carole! How do we enlist Juan online? With those kind of results, I sure could use his help!

Hey Dita

Just write him at the email listed above and tell him you saw the blog and how he might be helping Carole’s daughter online and see if he is willing to work out a program with you. As you can tell from Carole’s new figure and her stats – if you are willing to follow what he says you will definitely get results.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more

ABOUT ME

I took the plunge and moved to San Pedro Town on the Island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Canada, I made the life-changing move to escape winter for good (in 2006) after one three week vacation.
