Testimonials | |
|
I have also enjoyed the camaraderie of the fitness studio. I have been motivated by Amy and Susan’s disciplined routines and enjoy seeing them having fun. By training with Aaron on a consistent basis, I am stronger, more flexible and more cognizant of my diet. I understand the metabolic significance of eating five small meals a day and making sure I get enough protein. I also have greater endurance on the cardio equipment. At the end of the day, it is all about being healthier. There’s no “one size fits all solution.” Aaron and his team deliver personalized solutions in an upbeat, non-threatening way. And the solutions work!" Laurie W. |

“My training sessions with Aaron have been rigorous and enjoyable. He makes sure that I am doing the exercises correctly so as to avoid pain and injury. One of my biggest accomplishments has been the ability to do a side plank!!! (Phew, I never thought I would say that.) |

Aaron Atwood
Owner
In 2000, during Aaron’s freshman year at Endicott College he found himself becoming increasingly frustrated after putting on an extra twenty-five pounds. That’s when he decided to make a major lifestyle change. Rather than drinking beer and eating pizza,. Aaron started spending more and more time at the gym training his body in many fun and challenging ways. On any given day he used various training techniques including strength and functional movements, intense cardiovascular training, road biking, and sport specific training. Not only did Aaron get himself in shape for everyday life, but he also prepared himself to play Defensive End on Endicott College’s first ever Varsity football team. His success in losing those extra twenty-five pounds, getting himself ready for the football field, re-shaping his body, and feeling healthier and more energized, helped him to realize this was the right career path for him.
After graduating from Endicott College in 2004 with a Bachelors of Science in Sports Management, Aaron worked as a personal trainer at several gyms including; the Beverly YMCA, Mad Maggie’s Health Club in Norwood, and the Boston Sports Club. Aaron soon become frustrated with training at these gyms because clients didn’t receive the 1-on-1 private attention they needed.
Aaron has been with the Fitness Together family since 2004 where he started off as a trainer at the Dedham location. In 2006 he was promoted to manager, and realized that his long term goal was to own his own studio. Aaron has been a certified personal trainer since 2001 through the International Sports Science Association (ISSA) and Fitness Together. He is also CPR/AED certified through the American Heart Association.
Aaron believes that fitness is more than simply a number on the scale. His honest approach with his clients has helped numerous people reach and surpass their fitness goals. Aaron believes that if you set aggressive goals and work hard to attain them, the results will speak for themselves.
