Fitness Together Testimonials
During my first visit, Aaron and I talked about my exercise regimen and my diet. He asked a lot of good questions and was very precise in seeking to understand my specific goals and health status. As it turns out, I was doing a few things wrong, which probably explains why I never saw any results on my own. For instance, I wasn’t eating frequently enough. I wasn’t working out hard enough. And I wasn’t taking my physical fitness seriously enough. By recording my daily food intake and activities in my journal, I gained a clear and measurable picture of what I was doing and how I could improve. Almost from day one I started to feel better. I immediately had more energy and the digits on the scale began to track downward. 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.) 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!" Laura W.

"Before coming to Fitness Together, I had never really worked out before. I was nervous to begin the process but I needed to do so after having my first child and gaining weight. Not only had I put on pounds but I had lost muscle tone and energy. The personal trainers at Fitness Together Barrington made it easy to begin a workout regimen. With their attention, I am able to achieve my goals of strength, weight loss, and flexibility. They push me to do my best through a challenging yet fun exercise routine. I have found it so easy to work out this way! I just show up and the trainers tell me what my body needs to do—in a private and comfortable atmosphere. I am now back to my pre-pregnancy weight and my body changes by the week. Strength and muscle tone have returned and I feel capable of continuing my fitness goals for life.” Jennifer R.

Fitness Together has turned out to be the perfect fit for me. Having a personal trainer to instruct, guide and encourage me has made such a difference. On my own I would never have been this successful.” Priscilla E.  “I have been overweight most of my adult life. I tried every diet imaginable to lose weight, and I did....I lost 60 pounds THREE times, but was never able to keep it off. I walked and joined gyms and tried to exercise, but I always felt intimidated by the ‘fit and skinny’ people there. I finally decided to get serious; after all my health was at stake.
I had gastric bypass surgery in March 2007 and I knew the missing link was a consistent exercise program. I was fortunate enough to be given the ’gift of health’ from a good friend, a gift certificate to Fitness Together. That was the missing link. I have now lost 80 pounds since March 2007! I never thought I would be doing push ups and lunges, but with the caring motivation from FT, I am stronger, more confident and in the best shape I have ever been in. From couch potato to dedicated exerciser! Thank you FT!” Ann C.  “I have enjoyed my sessions at FT enormously. I have been a client since 2005 and I feel like I’ve been challenged and have gotten stronger since coming. With such a hectic schedule, the opportunity of the accountability with private training led me through the door at FT. Another aspect that appeals to me is the pristine condition of the facility, the friendliness of the staff and the free fruit and bottled water. It is relaxing and invigorating at the same time. It’s a treat to take a nice shower after my workout which enables me to continue with my work day. The amenities are tremendous. I work with all the trainers at FT and each one of them has found a way to challenge me to my maximum capacity.”

During the past 6 months, I have improved my flexibility, posture and strength. I am now training three times each week. I joined one of the FT Shape Up RI teams, and during these last two weeks averaged 11,000 steps per day. I made a few revisions in my diet, and have seen progressive weight loss. Each step of the way, I have had support and guidance, with practical suggestions in addition to the training sessions. I particularly appreciate the communication between staff members. We are all working toward the same goal. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results." Santina S.
I am a very busy person who needs a motivated and efficient workout program that is easy to stick with. Fitness for Life / Fitness Together has helped me attain and retain positive results by creating just that type of program for me. I schedule regular appointments with my own personal trainer, who puts me through a tough workout, in my own private weight room, and IT'S FUN!!! I'm committed when I have those appointments and the best part is I look forward to them. Patricia L. |

I had always “worked out” and “eaten right.” Or at least I thought so until I met the team at Fitness Together! 
Susan has been a client of Fitness Together since January of 2009. Within this short time Susanne has greatly enhanced her overall wellness and strength. She has been a dedicated client who comes in as often as possible, always giving 100%. Suzanne looks amazing and is much stronger...just ask, she has the biceps to prove it! Here is what Susan has to say about her FT experience... 
"Years ago I decided the world was made up of two groups of people: those who exercised and those who did not. I firmly believed I was a member of the latter. Over the years I had tried every diet on the planet without permanent results. My weight and unhealthy lifestyle had left me feeling tired all the time with no energy. I knew I could no longer deny the need to incorporate exercise into my life. But the reason I had decided I was a member of that “non-exercising” group was because the typical gym setting was completely intimidating to me. I was so self conscious about my weight that the idea of working out in a gym in front of other people horrified me. After discussing this with my doctor, she recommended I check out Fitness Together. That turned out to be the best advice I have ever been given.

“I have been a client at Fitness Together since January 2006. My goals in becoming a client were to increase my core strength and flexibility. Happily those goals have been met. My trainer has skillfully directed me in a way that I never could have followed on my own. She has also coordinated exercises with a chiropractor I had consulted for a minor back and nerve impingement issue. She even discussed my routines with a golf instructor I had used so that we could incorporate certain exercises into our current routine to reinforce the techniques he was trying to impart to me. Now, if my golf game improves in the coming months, I can credit FT. But if it does not improve, it will be my own fault!”
“I love my workouts with Ryan! He’s the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. I have been to other gyms and worked with other trainers, but I have never lost as many inches and pounds that I have at Fitness Together of Lincoln. It’s worth every penny!!”
“Maybe it was midlife, or maybe an awakening, or maybe my pants were way too tight, but it was clear I needed to lose some weight. Also, due to a family history of osteoporosis my doctor encouraged me to exercise with weights. After a few failed diets and exercise programs I was frustrated.
“After only 11 weeks working with the Fitness Together of Lincoln team, a body fat caliper test revealed that my body fat was almost half of what it had been at 19%. My last weigh in also revealed a loss of 12 pounds.”
"My ultimate “low-point” was buying a whole new wardrobe to accommodate my ever expanding girth. I was up almost two sizes and had been reduced to wearing my medical scrubs to my busy practice in lieu of squeezing into suits. I have now lost a total of 16 pounds thanks to Fitness Together. I have been impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of my trainer, Matt who has always manages to keep my interest and motivation high.
"When I started with Fitness Together I felt the sessions were really tailored to me. The exercises are constantly changing as I progress to keep me challenged. Although I had used personal trainers before, I really feel the combination of the tailored programs, the private setting, and the help with nutrition make these training sessions unique. The proof that there really is a difference is that I was able to put on my favorite jeans I had refused to part with and had not worn for about four years.”
“When I turned 50 I decided it was time to get back in shape. I looked around at the various options, but when I heard about Fitness Together and its concept of 1 client / 1 trainer / 1 goal, the gyms and health clubs paled in comparison. I knew it was what I needed. I took the free introductory class and was hooked. The trainers are awesome. They explain the workout sessions and related exercises in detail and really help you to achieve your goals. It has really changed my life.” 
“Fitness Together has been an excellent experience for me. We set specific goals three months ago and I am achieving them. It has better equipped me for baseball this ‘off-season’ in preparation for spring. I look forward to continuing my training with Fitness Together.”
"I have been training at Fitness Together Providence since October 2007. I am so impressed with the knowledge, skill and enthusiasm shown by each member of the training staff. As a physician, I know what my goals should be. FT provides the framework to assist me in reaching them.
Now that I am approching my mid-thirties, I realize that all those nasty rumors are true; getting in shape and staying in shape aren't as easy as before.
