Transformation Exercise Class 9
Ozella Vires
Hi Community! We had an exercise class to transform dates. I'm wondering what is the best way to approach this, the scenario is, the data Field 1 column can come in different format, so I placed multiple regex date time but I'm not sure it's the best way. Im attaching my work sample as well as the ultimate goal. hoping for your assistance, thank you in advance.
If you prefer to parse values with different methods in separate fields like you did DateTime_Out2, DateTime_Out3, DateTime_Out4, there's a great new function coalesce that returns the first non-null value - should be Designer Desktop 2023.1 onwards:
Thank you Yapi for sharing your beautiful story! You are beautiful inside and out and we are so lucky to have you a part of our Bay View family. I love that your inspiration to your training first comes from loving yourself. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I truly love my life now, and I could not imagine my life without Bay View Boot camp!! When the alarm goes off at 6.45am, (most mornings) I jump out of bed and it is non-negotiable whether I go or not. I am not super strict on my diet as I still love good food and desserts (wine is gone so desserts are in!) and I allow them in moderation. My eating habits are healthier and outlook on food and exercise different. I love the menus for various challenges and cook those meals for the crew on yachts when I go on my work trips.
I knew I needed to start working out, so I began running a few times a week. I signed up for 5k races for extra motivation, and while some of the weight came off, I was struggling to lose the remainder.
When I told my fellow boot campers, everyone was so supportive. Each week people would ask me where I was in my training plan and offer words of encouragement from their own experiences. To my surprise, I was not only able to run the entire race, but my time was much faster than I anticipated. Completing the half marathon was the apex of my fitness journey thus far, and I am already looking for the next challenge.
I feel so proud of how far I have come in just two and a half years since starting bootcamp. I have lost 10 lbs, 2 inches from my hips, 1 inch from my waist and 1 inch from my thighs. My energy has improved and most importantly, I feel confident in my body again.
Laura and her group of trainers have completely changed my outlook on fitness. At the end of each work day, I genuinely look forward to working out alongside people that I now call friends, against the beautiful backdrop of Tampa Bay.
In 2012, while living in Minnesota, I joined a gym and started going to several group fitness classes, which I grew to love. While I loved these classes, I tried to blend in (i.e. hide) in the back corner of the classroom, but I developed some great friendships with people that I met through these classes.
At first, I started out slowly attending a couple classes a week, and modifying the exercises so I could keep up. I felt better within a couple weeks and trimmed up a bit too. However, after a couple months I realized in order to reach my goals I needed to up the ante.
Even though I was sober, I still was vastly out of shape, overweight, stiff and generally dissatisfied with how I functioned. I would mow the grass, sweat profusely, and be so exhausted afterward that I had to lay down for 2 hours to rejuvenate. I joined a Crossfit Gym and at the first class workout, I had to excuse myself outside and vomit becoming so physically exhausted and it was only during the warmup!
All those years of putting toxic substances in my body had taken a toll on my health. However, I stuck with it, and over the course of a couple of years, improved some with my strength and conditioning. But after having 7 injuries total and then finally burning out, I did not want to exercise or train anymore. I ended up quitting in 2018.
In 2019, I heard this cool sounding, confident man named Erwan Le Corre on the Paleo Magazine Podcast. I had recently turned to a Paleo diet to help with improving my health. So, hearing of Natural Movement was interesting because I had never heard of that term before. I was very intrigued; everything he said made so much sense.

I started my journey training with Denise when I was just 3 months postpartum. Health and fitness had always been an important part of my life and I had struggled through my pregnancy to feel good about my body. With my husbands support and encouragement I searched for a place where I could work on reconnecting with my body while also having my daughter nearby.
I have always been and athlete so fitness and weight lifting are second nature to me. Becoming a mom, wife and my job became my priority over the years and I let myself go. I became consumed with eating as a reward to sooth stress, emotions and to make me feel good. Well it never really made me feel good long term only in the moment. I actually became more depressed and insecure in my own body. It was a vicious cycle. I knew I had to make a change.
As a teenager and young adult, I have always struggled with my weight, and have never truly had a normal relationship with food. I would binge and then feel so guilty I would punish myself by not eating at all. I was also in a very verbally abusive relationship where my size and weight was thrown in my face constantly. Being young and naive I allowed it to hurt and control me way more than it should have. Thankfully I am now married to a man who loves me no matter what size I am and has done nothing but support me on this fitness journey.When I first joined the Training Loft 714, I knew that I wanted to take on something completely out of my comfort zone and compete in a fitness competition. With help of owner and amazing coach Denise, I did my first competition this April and not only placed but won the show overall. I'm still in complete shock. Growing up and constantly being the chubby kid, I never dreamed in a million years that this would now be a part of my lifestyle. The Loft not only offers support but they really take their time to teach you how to adopt a healthy lifestyle.Now I'm officially part of the amazing Bay Area Knockouts team and I plan on competing again soon.
From 2015 to 2017 I battled with my weight due to the lack of self acceptance of my sexuality, feeling uninspired in my career, and feeling not worthy enough to be loved. I felt overwhelmed with self doubt and I transmitted those insecurities and found myself at 189 pounds masking my depression with food and alcohol. In 2016, I met a friend who introduced me to clean eating and the Training Loft714 where I begun finally building stepping stones in my growth. Robin believed in me and guided me in health and fitness and I dropped down to 168 pounds by the end of 2016.In 2017, I still battled with my insecurities and I fought so hard to find the root to my weight and why I stayed stagnant in the 170s/160s. After months of soul searching, reading, praying, and writing I finally realized I was blocking my own growth and once and for all I need to find something in my life to give me substance, push me, give me reason, help sustain me mentally and physically, I needed something empowering, I needed to be around women like myself, I needed to be alive again. I decided to train at the Training Loft714 to become a Bay Area Knockout, the ultimate alpha female; fearless, confident, hard working, beautiful, and divine.I have gained will power, substance, humbleness, confidence, self respect, pride in my sexuality, and reassurance that I can achieve any goal I set my soul to. I have lost 61 pounds from 189lbs to 128lbs, I am transformed and I now transmit gratitude. I am forever evolving and I will continue to fitness train to reach higher levels of happiness and compete in bodybuilding shows. I am forever grateful for Denise for forming the Bay Area Knockouts, I am now a powerful worthy woman!
Hi, I'm Martha. I'm a wife, mom of two kids, and I work part time as a respiratory therapist. I joined TrainingLoft714 in 2014. I went to classes here and there, when I could. In 2015, I went through some life changing events that made me re-evaluate my life and the way I was going to live from then on. Was I going to be depressed and let myself go or change my lifestyle and way of thinking to become a healthier me physically and mentally? I chose the latter. Since then I attended a couple their clean eating classes and slowly changed the way I eat. The class informed me on how to make better choices and how to have portion control. With my new knowledge of clean eating and dedicating to attend classes on my days off, I started to see and feel a change. I felt better about myself and became more confident. The picture to the left was taken in August 2016 and the one to the right was taken in July 2017. I'm still on my journey to be a healthier version of me and I know I can do it with the support from the trainers at TrainingLoft714 and all the positive attitudes of everyone who goes there.
As I write this, I am 62 years young, and feel better than I ever have. I am proud of my outward appearance as well. Before I came to the Loft and met Denise Brazeal, my exercise and diet program was one of inconsistency. I would yo-yo diet and hit the gym without the training and support that I have received here. Denise introduced me to "clean eating" and instilled in me to "trust the process". Prior to her support and education, I had never understood the value and results of this way of life. I shared this form of nutrition with my husband who embraced it as well. Our family meals revolve around the clean eating ethic with occasional dalliance into "treat meals". We then quickly return to the "program". In fact, we actually look forward to it! When I first entered the loft for workout, I thoroughly enjoyed the regime and left tired, sweaty and overjoyed! I couldn't wait to come back. From day one, I felt welcomed by everyone. Over the years, I have had several personal trainers. However, until I partnered with Denise, I never understood how beneficial a combined workout, diet, and overall clean lifestyle could be. During six months of dedicated participation at the loft, I became enamored with the "Knockouts". I observed their hard work, their support for one another and the fantastic physical transition that they obtained. I queried Denise if I could be a candidate for competition. To my amazement, she informed me that not only could I compete, but that I could prevail. She said she would help me achieve goals that I may have never thought possible. She was honest and to the point that it would require hard work and perseverance. That it would not only be physically challenging, but mentally challenging as well. She stressed the importance of having the full support of my family. I left the Loft that day ready to begin the journey to competition. That evening, I discussed my decision with my husband. He not only said go for it, he ensured me he would give any/all support required. I informed Denise of my decision to go forward and prepare for competition. We set up a weekly training schedule and went to work. In August of 2016 after a year of preparation, I stepped on stage in Petaluma at the INBA competition. I competed in both the Ultra Grand Masters and the Bikini Open competition. I was extremely nervous, but also very excited. I felt well prepared due to the support and training that I received from my posing coach Tye and of course my training coach Denise. The camaraderie and encouragement from so many of the other girls that train and workout at the Loft, only added to my confidence and exuberance. Words can't say enough to quantify my happiness, satisfaction and enjoyment that I receive by being a member of the Loft family. I continue to enjoy and look forward to my weekly personal training sessions with Denise and the group workouts. This journey is a continuing one that I hope lasts a long time. My sincere thanks to all. My admiration holds no bounds. My journey has been rewarding beyond my dreams. My message to all is that it is NEVER too late to achieve your fitness goals.
