πŸ™ From 325 Pounds to a New Life: How Steve Priddy Got His Health β€” and His Life β€” Back at RxD Personal Training

Transformational Personal Training in Louisville KY: Real Results for Adults Over 40

β€œYou can have all the money in the world… but without your health, what good is it?”
– Steve Priddy, RxD Personal Training Member, Preacher, Grandfather, and Inspiration


πŸ“ Meet Steve: Preacher, Grandpa, Fighter for His Future

Steve Priddy isn’t just another weight loss story.

He’s a preacher, a grandfather, and a man who once found himself unable to put on his own socks.
At 325 pounds, everyday movements became a struggle.
He’d had a hip replacement, tried other gyms, and still couldn’t find relief β€” until he walked through the doors of Results by Design Fitness in Louisville.

β€œRxD gave me my life back,” Steve says.
β€œI’d tried other places. They didn’t have what I needed. RxD did.”


βš–οΈ 100+ Pounds Lost. A Life Gained.

Steve went from 325 lbs to 211 lbs.
That’s over 100 pounds gone β€” but more importantly, it’s what he gained that matters:

βœ… Strength and confidence
βœ… Real mobility
βœ… Energy to live life again

He can now bend down, tie his shoes, and play on the floor with his grandkids β€” things he hadn’t done in years.

β€œA year ago I went to Gatlinburg with my family and had to stay in the hotel. I couldn’t walk. It was too painful. Now? I’m walking. I’m golfing. I’m living.”


🧠 Why He Did It: β€œHealth Is Wealth”

Steve’s transformation wasn’t for anyone else.
He did it for himself β€” because, as he says:

β€œIf you don’t take care of yourself first, how can you take care of anyone else?”

This belief is at the heart of his faith and his journey.
Faith. Family. Fitness. That’s how he lives β€” and health is the foundation.

You can have everything money can buy.
But if you can’t get off the floor to play with your grandkids, what’s the point?


πŸ‹οΈ Why RxD Was the Gamechanger

Steve tried other gyms, but they didn’t know how to help someone recovering from surgery, struggling with pain, and needing real guidance.

At RxD, he found:

βœ… Coaches who listen
βœ… Personalized strength training
βœ… Supportive accountability
βœ… A community that cheered him on every step of the way

We met him where he was β€” and helped him get where he wanted to go.

β€œYou guys changed my life. I wouldn’t be where I am without this place.”


🎯 Steve’s Advice to Anyone Struggling

β€œDon’t wait. Don’t tell yourself it’s too late.
Start now. One workout, one step at a time.
Health is wealth β€” and you’re worth the investment.”

Steve is living proof that it’s never too late to take back your life.

From hotel rooms in pain to hiking hills and golfing with friends, Steve has become stronger in body, mind, and spirit.
