NEOU Changed My Life: Chandra McClure
Here at NEOU we love what we do, but nothing makes us happier than knowing our community loves it too.
Chandra McClure, a busy 41-year-old mother of two, found NEOU and has never been more successful. “It helped me, at 41, become the person I really wanted to become,” she says.
In her early years, Chandra struggled with body issues and eating disorders that she believes held her back. These days, that’s all just a distant memory. “I work hard and I take care of my body as a gift and NEOU has given me the opportunity to treat it better.”
Before discovering the app and her favorite instructors, Chandra pounded away on the elliptical and followed along with workout DVDs, but was never able to push herself outside of her comfort zone. “I love working out but I never found anything that really worked for me,” she says. But after about a month of NEOU, she says she felt as though she “could do anything.”
She started with the 20-minute classes, then progressed to 45-minute classes. “Burpees, no problem,” she says.
NEOU is now a huge part of Chandra’s lifestyle and she is showing no signs of slowing down. “I use it 4 to 5 days per week, it fits my schedule, and it travels with me,” she adds.

After Chandra responded to a social media post of ours asking for feedback on the NEOU app, we loved her story so much that we decided to fly her to New York for what she thought was simply a photoshoot. What Chandra didn’t know was that her favorite instructors and the entire NEOU team was waiting for her arrival to celebrate her accomplishments. WATCH the video above.
Do you have a story you’d like to share with the NEOU community? Send us a DM on Instagram or a message on the NEOU Facebook page. Who knows? You could be on the next flight to New York, too!
