Don
What if your employer told you to lose weight and get fit—or else?
That’s what happened to one FT-Bearden client. The military recently modified its fitness standards, and Don failed to pass the new fitness test. He was told: pass the test or lose your job.
When working out at home didn’t produce results, Don did a simple Internet search. He considered other options, but Craig’s quick response combined with the experience during his free session convinced Don to choose FT.
Don says his accomplishments surprised even him. “I’m 42 years old,” he explains. “I thought I was too old and too far gone to work my way back in shape. But I went to the gym and did something every day to meet my goals. I feel great and I believe my clothes fit better, which makes me look better.”
Best of all, Don passed his most recent physical fitness test and kept his job. “It’s not rocket science,” he says. “You just have to be accountable, burn off more than you take in, work harder than you ever have, sweat a lot, and bite off that elephant one piece at a time! If I can do this, anyone can!”
Though hard work and discipline were important, Don admits he could not have accomplished his goals alone. “My wife Maranda was very supportive of my decision to join Fitness Together, and I can’t thank her enough,” he says. “I feel like I’m among friends with Craig, Lyn, the trainers, and the other clients. I could not have done it without their encouragement, prayers, motivation, and friendship.”

Steph McKee
“It’s bad when you want to wear sweats in July,” says FT-Bearden client Steph McKee. The 24-year-old UT student and former college softball player realized she needed to make some changes when she reached her highest weight ever and none of her clothes fit. Rather than hit the mall for some retail therapy, she elected to invest the money in her health and joined FT in July.
“After looking at the facilities Fitness Together offered and seeing how qualified their trainers were, there was no contest,” says Steph. “In addition to the great trainers, I love the fact that the facility is fully stocked with everything from towels and hair driers to water and fruit!”
Most impressive, though, have been her results. Steph has lost 13.4 pounds and 13 inches, while also dropping her body fat and improving her strength, flexibility, and endurance. The only thing that has gotten bigger on Steph is her smile.
“Even though the workouts were rigorous, I never left without a smile on my face,” she says. “We pump up the music of my choice and have a good time while making me look better. What’s not to smile about?”

Jessica Smith
The inactivity of graduate school took it’s toll on Jessica Smith. After hours spent studying and writing papers, her weight soared to more than 200 pounds. “I didn’t feel well,” she admits. “I was tired all the time, and I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin.”
Jessica lost 40 pounds when she joined a popular weight loss program and started walking, but she soon hit a plateau. That’s when she discovered Fitness Together. “You read about personal trainers in the celebrity magazines, and it seems like a pipe dream,” she says. “I never thought I could afford to hire one for myself.”
When she saw the advertisement for Fitness Together, Jessica decided to call to see if it would fit into her budget. After a few sessions, she was hooked. “It worked!” Jessica says. “Resistance training has made a huge difference in my body. The genius thing about a personal trainer is they push you to do things you would never try on your own. My trainers at Fitness Together know what I can do and they push me to do it.”
Jessica’s hard work has paid off. She has continued to lose weight, but she has also increased her endurance, strength, and flexibility. Not only that, her body has begun to truly change its shape. “My waist and hips have narrowed,” she notes. “I have more energy. I have more confidence. I can even do pushups now! The benefits are endless.”
Mark Franklin
“I just wanted to write a quick note to say “thank you” for helping me work towards my fitness goals. When I first came in and we discussed my goals, I never imagined I would see such a turn around so quickly. My arms, chest, shoulders and abs have improved so much just in two months I’ve worked with you guys that I can’t wait to see the results at 6 months and even a year. Thanks for all your professional instruction and dedication to helping me achieve my personal fitness goals. I’m a firm believer in Fitness Together.”
Tisha Clapp
"I gained five pounds with each of my four pregnancies, and at age 35 was showing no sign of reversing that trend. I wanted to be thinner, but I did not want to change my poor eating habits, nor was I making time for exercise. Finally the desire to lose weight won, and I found myself at Fitness Together. Now, just three months later, I lost 10 pounds and dropped two clothing sizes! The trainers at Fitness Together designed a program specifically for me, which included diet, cardio, and weight training. Plus they have given me the push I needed to stick with it. The trainers are so knowledgeable and energetic, but the best part is they are motivating me to achieve my fitness goals. I have never felt better."
Christine Mainini
“For the longest time I have focused on the goal to lose weight and get in shape. In an attempt to do so I joined Weight Watchers and began eating healthier. But I was still not seeing the results that I wanted. Then I saw an advertisement for Fitness Together in the newspaper and decided to take advantage of the free session that they offered. Immediately I began to feel better about myself and my confidence has soared! I have been in the program for two months and I have lost 16 pounds and 2 pant sizes! The one-on-one sessions along with the private, friendly atmosphere make Fitness Together the ideal workout facility. They gave me the push I needed and I could not have gotten this far without them!”
