Amy Taylor-Ent and Steven Mikel are a husband and wife duo who make getting to the gym TOGETHER a priority! The support and encouragement is so evident between these two and we admire them so much for this that we wanted to share their stories!
Everyone is different and everyone has a story and we asked Amy if she would share hers! Here is Amy’s journey in her own words:
“My weight has always been a roller coaster, but when arthritis, sleep apnea, borderline diabetes, and menopause hit all at once, my body seemed to work against me. Despite eating less and exercising, the scale kept climbing.
With my doctor’s recommendation, I started a GLP-1 in December 2024. I was hesitant and kept it private because I worried people would think it was “cheating.” But I realized my body needed the help.
I also overcame my fear of the gym. Dustin helped me get comfortable with the equipment, and the classes became something I truly love. I changed how I eat, focused on protein and nourishing my body, and started working out 3–5 days a week.
With the support of my amazing husband, children, friends and gym community, I’ve lost almost 80 pounds! ❤️ I no longer need my CPAP, I’m no longer pre-diabetic, I have more energy, and keeping up with my grandchildren is so much easier.
I’m stronger, healthier, and more confident—and so grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way! 💪❤️”
We absolutely love this! There are so many people on a GLP-1 but so many of them aren’t doing it the RIGHT way! Starvation is not healthy nor is it sustainable. Amy is evidence of doing it the RIGHT way! She looks healthy, fit, and beautiful 🥰 she puts in the work 💪🏼💪🏼 in the gym and in the kitchen!
We want to thank Steve for sharing his story as well! Putting yourself out there isn’t easy but we just want anyone who is on the fence about your HEALTH to see that you’re not alone! We hope we have created an environment you can be yourself, feel comfortable, and feel supported! Here is Steve’s journey in his own words:
“After seeing some pictures of myself, I knew it was time for a change. When I heard Kellie and Dustin were opening Armor Fitness, I jumped at the chance to join.
After 26 years in law enforcement, the gym has always been my stress relief and a place to reset. Today, I work out 5 days a week, attend a HIT class, and have completely changed the way I eat.
I’m down 34 pounds and working toward losing 20 more. But the scale isn’t everything—my clothes fit better, I have more energy, and I can play with my grandchildren without getting winded.
I’m incredibly grateful for the support of Dustin, Kellie, my wife and children, and the entire Armor Fitness community. This journey is about becoming healthier, stronger, and better than I was yesterday. 💪”
They look fabulous and we are so proud to showcase them, they deserve some recognition! 🙏🏼🫶🏼💪🏼💪🏼
