Client Testimonial
"It is a comfortable environment, all the trainers are dedicated and care about me achieving results. It is now part of my week and I look forward to and enjoy going there. I know I feel like I have accomplished something when I complete my workout "
Prior to joining Fitness Together, my work and life schedule was inconsistent with travel,kids, job, etc...  I had a difficult time maintaining any consistent workout schedule and healthy eating habits.  My wife encouraged me to get a personal trainer since I got to the point where I had given up on trying to lose weight or get in shape.  I just had my 40th Birthday, I was up to 225 (from 170 lbs when we met), I was moody, self conscious, uncomfortable, sluggish, etc...everyone who is out of shape can relate.  My wife read an article in a local paper about a Fitness Together Client who was successful with the FT program, so I thought I would give it a shot. 
 
Benefits have been:
- More energy & more self-esteem
- Muscle gain (10 lbs in 10 weeks)
- 25 lbs of fat loss  (10 weeks)
- All the positives that are associated with good health
 
The reason why I think it is important to work with Fitness Together: 
- It is a commitment and accountability  - I have a consistent work out and eating plan
- The training system is efficient. I'm working one-on-one with a trainer there are no distractions
- It keeps me committed - Times when I have setbacks or go on vacation, gain a few pounds - I'm able to get back on track a stay on course when I previously would have quit
- A trainer is going to work me harder than I would train myself - I wouldn't do the extra rep or extra push-up if I didn't have someone pushing and encouraging me to do it.
- I do not have to plan my workouts, they are planned for me so I can focus on just working out
- It is a comfortable environment, all the trainers are dedicated and care about me achieving results
- It is now part of my week and I look forward to and enjoy going there.  I know I feel like I have accomplished something when I complete my workout
