In the early 80’s I worked for Richard Simmons and joined his facility as a member when he had his Anatomy Asylums in Beverly Hills. I weighed 210lbs at that point and lost 18 lbs. in the first month. That is when Richard approached me and asked me how I was doing it and if I would like to be an instructor 2x a week. By the time we opened the new Woodland Hills location I was head instructor, teaching 10 classes a week and program director.

We developed a food program which is the same one I used today with my clients. This program was called the OWA program. (Overweighter Aiders, that was designed for people who were 25+ lbs overweight. I lost close to 100lbs on this food plan over 25 years ago and kept it off. So I know it works!
