Miami Police officer Jim Sayih was used to getting other police officers and firefighters into shape through his 911 Fitness program. But this past summer, he took the eight-week fitness challenge to a group of women at the Agape Center, a minimum-security facility for recovering drug and alcohol addicts, aiming to give them more than just a better body. For Melinda Mitchell, a former crack addict, the healthy eating and exercise did more than help her lose 19 pounds of fat in Sayih's ``Lean Body For Her'' program. ``I feel great.'' she said. ``It's helped in my recovery, it's spilled into my art work, and it's help me to stay focused.'' Sayih, 37, said he took his health challenge to the facility in Goulds after searching for a group of women he could test the fitness program out on. ``I had tried doing it on the beach, but the turnout was bad,'' he said. ``Out of 20 women, only six showed up, so I gave up. ``Then one day, I was telling my friend Cheryl Patella about my idea and she suggested Agape would be the perfect place to do my study and help out some women in need.'' Twenty-six women signed up for his program out of 65 at Agape, and 17 finished it. But on the first day, when Sayih was introduced to the women, he said he didn't think the program was going to take off. ``They introduced me as a cop and not as a fitness trainer,'' he said. ``I wasn't prepared for that and you could just see the women's reactions. But, I stuck through my presentation and they liked me.'' That day Sayih took the women who signed up, measured their body fat, weighed them, took their pictures and gave them a journal to record their eating and exercise routines. All the women had to follow a food guide that included drinking protein shakes along with an exercise regimen.
