Heuser High Five: Larry Gatti

His Heuser Story:

20160410_121118-2

Larry was born and raised in Louisville, and is a self-proclaimed family man through and through.  He has two children (Ben, 8 and Avery,4) with his wife Meg (who is also a Heuser member)!  He has been in real estate for 15 years, and owns his own real estate company, “The Gatti Real Estate Group”, at Keller Williams Realty Louisville East.  Larry joined Heuser Health in early March, after having lunch with another member (and former Heuser High 5’er) David Krebs. Then, “I saw Terry Cook (another Heuser High 5’er!) at a beer festival and noticed he was in pretty good shape. We got to talking about Heuser too. So I pulled the trigger and called Chris Thompson the next day and he got me signed up. I’ve been overweight for 20 years and it was time to try it. I have known about the program for 5+ years, just never did anything with it.”  On 3/3/16 at Larry’s initial assessment, he was told he had elevated numbers across the board, and it scared him. So for 3 weeks after March 3, he got his eating under control, then started coming to the gym. He started 4 days a week for the first week, and has shot for 5-6 days every week since, which he will continue until he reaches his ideal weight.  In the few months since Larry joined Heuser, he has lost about 20lbs, his A1C went from 7.1 to 5.9 in a month, and is even lower now. He has lost 2+ inches on my waist, and is getting stronger each week! “I like that I do not have to think about it. I come in, trainers tell me what to do and I try not to throw up. I mainly work with Chip and Chris, but Patrick and Matt have been great too.  My kids called my belly “my marshmallow belly,” so I’m going to be changing that too. I love working out here. It is a great environment with friendly and caring people.” 

Keep up the great work Larry!
