APD BlueFit

I have heard nothing but fantastic reviews of this program from those who have attended. This is something that I would very much like the opportunity to be a part of.

BlueFit should be incorporated into the Blue Chip program. They go hand in hand.

People's needs are different and the Blue Fit Program is a good fit for a good variety of people.

This is a hugely beneficial program and we need to find a way to keep it going.

BlueFit changed the way I exercise. It is a great program that works both physically and mentally. I can't thank Kelly enough for dedicating her time to make us all healthier!

Fitness has always been important to me and I though I knew what I was doing. BF took my heath to a whole other level both physically and mentally. All BF credit goes to Kelly. She is always positive and challenges each BF'er personally to their own level. She gets everyone excited about the workouts they are about to do. BF benefits the employees is many ways and also the City of Arlington. Kelly is Bluefit!

The Blue Fit program was a life changer for me………..literally. I had been struggling for years with physical and mental health issues due to extremely high levels of constant stress while working here at the PD. I had attempted to deal with the immediate ramifications of my body breaking down (surgeries and multiple prescription meds) and made several attempts to deal with my lack of mental focus and clarity (prayer, breathing exercises, walking and yoga). My family and job are important to me, and I didn’t want to be a liability to either. I was doing what I could to better myself and my situation but was I was far from well. Then along came the Blue Fit Program and trainer Kelly Lovell. I viewed this as an opportunity to make improvements to my overall wellbeing. I was blessed to be in this program. Here are some of the accomplishments Kelly and Blue Fit helped me achieve. Physically: • Lost weight (down nearly 40lbs) • Lost Inches (multiple clothing sizes) • Body Fat decrease • Gained Strength • Gained Stamina • Decreased Blood Pressure • Decreased Blood Sugar • Decreased Cholesterol • Off all prescription medications • Sleep has improved • Overall health is much improved Mentally: (Program has made significant improvements here) • Increased Mental Focus • Less Stress • Mental Clarity (before I felt like I was constantly in a fog) • Able to process information quicker • Make effective decisions in a timely manner • Don’t lose my train of thought as often • Memory has improved • Overall better outlook and attitude Trainer Kelly Lovell was hand-picked by Deputy Chief Petty to lead this program. Chief Petty could not have made a better decision. Kelly is a consummate professional who is an expert in training, nutrition, and mindfulness. She has taught us what it takes to make lifestyle changes and improve our overall health and mental wellness. Kelly has the unique ability to relate with various personalities and works tir

Kelly "gets us". She understands our personalities, humor and physical requirements. The department would benefit from this program being full time with Kelly as our coach, instructor and teacher.

Blue Fit is a much needed program that will improve the wellness of the entire police department.

Kelly was great and was pivotal in me keeping on track during the program. I would love for her to be here full time, so I could utilize her experience and knowledge to help me live a healthy lifestyle.

I have not participated in BlueFit, but I have heard nothing but positive feedback from those who have.

The Bluefit program is a key tool in developing and maintaining officer wellness.

Blue Fit is a much needed long overdue program. Kelly Lovell is an excellent trainer with years of knowledge and experience. We need her to make this program a successful one.

BlueFit has been an amazing experience and I can think of nobody better qualified or suited to head it up than Kelly. Not only does she create awesome workouts for us but she really puts her heart into getting to know us and legitimately cares about our successes and goals. Personally, I already see the benefits both physically and mentally and I couldn't have done this without her help. Having this as a full-time program would benefit the department as a whole and create a healthy (both physically and mentally) atmosphere where people are feeling better, getting hurt less, and able to do our job at a high level.

BlueFit has changed me for the better. I was in BlueFit2 and continued it by joining BlueFit Elite and this has helped my Job performance and my health. I believe By keeping Kelly in the program is a must.

There are no adequate words to explain how important and beneficial both the program and Kelly are for the department. Kelly is a wealth of knowledge, a gifted couch but more than that she is an amazing, up lifting person. She has the ability to connect with multiple different personalities and meet them where they are. No one leaves the gym feeling neglected or dejected. So far, the program has helped reduce my stress, helped with deeper more restfully sleep, and I am notably stronger. In talking with others who have been through the program, I know they also have had similar results. People don’t want to see the program end. I don’t either, but with such positive results I implore you to not only continue, but to expand this program. Continuing to bring in blue fit employees is great; I have no doubt she would be amazing at getting the recruits ready for this demanding job. However, allowing more employees to continue you working with her as a couch, as a mentor, and amazing support system would pay incalculable dividends.

This is a great program and seeing the benefits as well as my doctor has even noticed the change

I believe the Blue Fit program is an absolute necessity to taking care of our officers. The health benefit of weight loss, muscle gain, internal fitness, reducing health issues, off medication, and sleeping better, are crucial to EVERYONE. Kelly is an absolute blessing to this program and to the officers. She is professional and definitely knows and actually cares about each individual officer and what is good for them. Her constant motivation and ideas, even outside of the program, were phenomenal. She has so many connections, because she has been doing this so long, that we had exposure to stuff we might not have even thought about. I 100% support keeping Kelly apart of this program.

Kelly has been the most important factor to my ability to lose weight, build confidence and get off my heart meds. She has been so supportive and made me feel comfortable and confident in myself and appearances. We finally have a program that works and hs been successful don’t ruin it now by changing instructors or by not funding it.

Blue Fit has been life changing for my overall health and wellness! It's an amazing program run by the perfect person. Kelly is an expert in physical fitness, has a high level of nutritional knowledge and is one of the most encouraging uplifting and empowering woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. I am truly grateful for all that she continues to do for me and my continued wellness journey. Kelly and her program are an absolute benefit to the Arlington Police Department. I hope Kelly and her program will permanently become apart of the APD family.
