Personal Training Success Stories

Carolyn Stemple

Director, Office Management

In April 2007 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and under went chemo/cancer treatment for over a year. The treatments were very rough since I was allergic to most of them. In addition, I developed severe heart failure from one of the cancer drugs in January 2008. As I am a very strong, energetic person, I continued to push myself through the entire ordeal. I realized with heart failure I needed to do as much exercise as I possibly could in hopes that I would get my heart function back to normal again. Therefore, I spoke to my doctor and he agreed. I found myself trying to workout at home but just didn't feel like it was doing enough. In March 2008 I received a newspaper from Annapolis and saw the article from Fitness Together. I read it, called for information, and talked to my doctor. Originally, I was reluctant, plus intimidated, because I was concerned I would not be able to complete the workout never having done anything like this. However, when I came in for my first session, I was so impressed and excited! After I was done, I knew this was what I was looking for. The trainers, Jeff, Price and Sean, are so professional and epitomize the word "team"! Their enthusiasm and passion for their jobs and clients are contagious. Their personalities emphatically support the "1 Client, 1 Trainer, 1 Goal" philosophy of Fitness Together. They motivate me to want to work harder and exceed my goals! Although the cost may be a deterrent for some, I now realize that your health is worth every penny because you just never know what may come next in your life and you need to be prepared both physically and mentally! Although Fitness Together provides me the opportunity to improve my health; Sean, Price and Jeff provide me the strong desire and motivation I need to continue! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I admit it- I'm just not motivated to exercise. Getting in shape and staying in shape is hard work and, over the years, my lack of motivation resulted in weight gain and health issues. It wasn't until I committed to an initial 12 week exercise program with Fitness Together that I started to see a positive change in my health, my shape, and my overall attitude. Today, I have been with Fitness Together since February. Wow- in six short months I feel years younger, look better, reduced my stress levels, lost body fat and inches, and dropped a dress size. Even my physician was impressed! I have to give credit to my trainer. Sean Flippo knows how to design a challenging workout that achieves results; and he makes it fun! The Fitness Together trainers are the motivation I need. Now I actually look forward to exercising... can you believe it?... and the results are definitely worth it.

I'm thrilled with the results that I have gotten from FT Annapolis.  So far I am down 2 sizes of clothes, my confidence level has gone way up and my energy levels have significantly improved.  I feel like the knowledgeable trainers at FT Annapolis do an excellent job getting the most from me during every session.  Also, for the first time in a long time, I actually believe in my ability to lose the weight I want to lose and to get back in shape.

FT Annapolis provides me with the ultimate solution to over-crowded health clubs, including a clean atmosphere, with state of the art equipment, and personal attention from their knowledgeable trainers.  Scheduling training sessions is easy as their staff is very accommodating to my schedule.  The trainers at FT Annapolis have helped me stay fit so I have the energy and stamina to keep up with my young children.  Whatever your personal goal FT Annapolis can help you achieve it!

I heard about Fitness Together through a friend of mine.  I had previously been a member of a large gym and did not like the atmosphere.  I would go from machine to machine, not knowing what they did or how to use them.  I would faithfully workout but would not get my desired results.  I contacted Fitness Together and went for a consultation.  I loved the idea of "1 Client 1 Trainer 1 Goal" and purchased 24 training sessions.  At the end of 24 sessions I had lost 13 pounds 18.5 inches.  I went from a size 12 to a size 8!  I would have never thought I could get these results in just 12 weeks.  Everyone that works at Fitness Together takes the time to talk to you, answer your questions and motivate you.  Sean, my trainer knows how to get the best out of every session.  I am so pleased with my results I purchased an additional 36 sessions.  I wish I would have done this years ago, but as always the 1st step is the hardest.

I joined Fitness Together Annapolis after seeing their commercial for a few months.  I figured this would be the way to go if I was serious about getting back in shape.  It would be a way to stay accountable and get honest feedback. Since Joining Fitness Together I have lost weight, my clothes are fitting a lot better, my strength and endurance has improved and I feel more confident in wearing clothes that fit me instead of hiding in oversized clothing. Annie and the staff are a great encouragement to me.  I also appreciate that they hear you.  They will push you to the next level, but will listen and adapt if you are having an off day.  This is one of the best decisions that I made this year.  The encouragement, feedback, and accountability are helping me to stay focused toward a healthier life so I can be ready for whatever life brings my way.

In my first 6 months of working out with Jeff I lost 25 lbs and went from a size 12 to a size 4-6!! I’m 42 years old and in the best shape of my life.  Joining FT has been one of the best decisions I have made in the last 4 years!  I love the fact that I actually have fun and enjoy working out.  I look forward to my Tuesdays with Jeff and Thursdays with Dan!

Since starting with Fitness Together my balance and flexibility have really improved.  I have lost inches all over and can now wear clothes I have not been able to wear in years.  The trainers all take a personal interest in my results.

Before starting with Fitness Together I weighed 235 lbs and could not bench press 95 lbs.  After working with Fitness Together I am now down to a much more muscular 197 lbs and can bench press 155 lbs six times!  I look and feel much better than I have in years and much of my success I attribute to Fitness Together.  I love the fact that I have a trainer that I am accountable to which keeps me from skipping workouts.  If you are having a hard time getting started call Fitness Together, you won't regret it.
