"The trainers at Fitness Together genuinely care about me and my success.  They have taken the time to get to know me and what goals I have set for myself.  They are supportive and encouraging.  They push me each and every time I step through the door.  Each trainer has his or her own unique style so every session is different, and I am never bored with a workout.  Since joining Fitness Together, not only have I lost an additional 60 pounds and 33 inches, but my confidence and self-esteem have skyrocketed.  I am proud of my accomplishments thus far and excited to see just how far I can go.  There are now things on my bucket list that I never dreamed I would be able to do.  The investment I made into FT has truly paid off."

"I joined Fitness Together 7 months ago, and since then, I have lost more than 60 pounds, I'm happier, definitely healthier and I'm in the best shape I've been in more than 20 years.

Fitness Together has the right recipe for success in my opinion.  Their ONE CLIENT + ONE TRAINER + ONE GOAL process ensures every workout I do is unique and custom made for my individual goals.  The session is me and my trainer, so the entire focus is on me."

“Like most everyone else, we had tried all the fad diets and trendy work out videos with moderate success.  But before long the discipline was gone and we were back to eating whatever and not working out.

We were very much afraid of failure yet again but something inspired us to make the call to Fitness Together late September and take the free assessment.  We are so glad we took the first step by walking in to meet everyone.  We feel so much better mentally, physically and emotionally.  As a member of Fitness Together we have lost weight, lost inches, and gained self esteem and pride.

Each person at Fitness Together is treated individually and privately but most importantly personally.”

“Fitness Together is the best investment you can make in yourself.  I had started to exercise and eat healthier before coming to Fitness Together and then hit the dreaded plateau.  Since coming to FT, I’ve lost an additional 35 lbs. and 26 inches.  The trainers are all informative, encouraging and fun. They help you keep on track with your workouts and nutrition.  I’m proud of what they have helped me to accomplish and know I’ll be able to exceed my fitness goals.”

Fitness Together has enabled me to gain and maintain the willpower I need to reach my daily and long-term fitness goals.  Through their "common sense" training methods and consistent standards of excellence, I have finally realized my true fitness potential as an athlete and a woman.  More energy, less stress, and improved self-esteem are only a few of the positive effects this program has brought to my life. More than anything, the trainers at Fitness Together have changed my idea of exercise and nutrition from being a chore to an enjoyable experience.  I look forward to each of my training sessions and can't wait to see what else this fun and innovative training will bring to my life.  I would never have achieved my weight loss goals without the help of Fitness Together and enthusiastically endorse the value of their program to other people who wish to improve their lives.

“Joining Fitness together has been life changing for me in so many ways! During the majority of my childhood and young adulthood, I was inactive and overweight. It was not until the passing of my mother in 2005 from complications of being a diabetic that it really clicked for me. Making the decision to join FT was really hard for me, but I am thrilled that I did. For instance, I went from a starting point of 27% body fat to 16% during my last retest! I have also doubled my muscular strength and endurance. In addition to feeling physically fit, my confidence and overall attitude are at an all time high! This would not have been possible without the support of the FT team. Everyone from the owner to all of the trainers have helped me reach many of my goals.

I recommend Fitness Together to anyone ready to make serious commitment to improving their health and realizing their goals!”

“FUN! Losing weight at Fitness Together is fun! The trainers make exercising and dieting changes realistic. They explain the need and why for changes in previous exercising and dieting routines. They listen and help through the hard days.

I lost 36 pounds in 6 months. Now I look forward to each session to stay fit.”

"I can't say enough good things about Fitness Together.  After recovering from knee surgery, I felt like my energy had left me.  Having always been an advocate for exercise, I just couldn't seem to get back the desire to work out on my own like I once had.  After my first visit to Fitness Together, I immediately felt like I had to join."

 "It has been a wonderful experience for me.  I have enjoyed working with all of the trainers and, as different as each of them are, they have all inspired me to work harder and become stronger."

"The professionalism, personality, and knowledge of the trainers at Fitness Together Canfield has been so impressive.  I am glad that I found them."

Another satisfied Fitness Together client!

“At 52, I was struggling to keep up my energy level.  All of my favorite clothes were hanging unworn in my closet, waiting for me to 'shape-up.'  As time went on, I got more depressed and felt that getting back on track was hopeless.  I thought that, as a woman over 50, I had to resign myself to a 'midlife bulge.'  I knew that I needed a serious kickstart."

"Fitness Together is ideal for me.  The trainers have given me something that I never could have given myself - motivation, encouragement, and confidence in myself.  Now I have the look of a very fit 50 year old..... and I wear my younger clothes.  I even share clothes with my 18-year-old daughter!"

"Fitness Together's trainers have made my workouts fun and have pushed me farther than I ever thought I could go!"

Jaime S.

Lost more than 100 lbs with FT!

Jaime has been a Fitness Together client for more than a year and, as you can see, she looks great!  What follows are Jaime’s own words.

How much weight have you lost to date?

I started out at 328 pounds. The last time I weighed myself, I was 189 pounds. So, in less than a year (April to February) I’ve lost at least 139 pounds.

What motivated you to improve your level of fitness?

I decided to make a change when I finally realized that I woke up every day miserable - without anything to look forward to. I realized that I kept waiting for my fabulous life to begin. At that minute, I concluded that I should stop waiting and start living. I had to do something.

To be honest, I didn’t know what to do to get started. I followed a “points system” diet plan and was relatively successful, but then I hit a plateau. So I bought some 5-pound weights and ordered an exercise video from an infomercial, but I was frustrated because I lacked the knowledge and support to be successful. Then I found out about Fitness Together. The rest is history!

How did you hear about Fitness Together?

A friend told me about Fitness Together. I was feeling frustrated with my feeble attempts to work out on my own and she mentioned that she had just started working out with personal trainers at a local studio.  The more she told me about it, the more interested I became.  She encouraged me to schedule a free fitness assessment.  

My trainers are almost like family now. Whether I’m laughing, crying, frustrated, happy, nervous, or excited, they are willing to share my stories and emotions. When I need to be motivated, they push me. When I need some hope, they inspire me. When I need confidence, they support me. On days when I feel too overwhelmed or exhausted to go work out, I still show up to my sessions.

At Fitness Together, I’ve learned to push myself in ways I never expected and to accomplish things I never thought possible. It’s empowering to have someone know what you are capable of even when you don’t yet realize your full potential for yourself. One of my trainers always says “whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”  It turns out that he’s right.

Are you able to participate in activities you previously were not? Do you have any newfound interests?

Yes!  One year after starting my new lifestyle, I rollerblade and ice skate frequently. And now that I feel OK wearing a bathing suit, I plan to spend my summer in the water. I love to swim!

I’ve also learned to enjoy cooking, thanks to working with Fitness Together’s dietitian. She taught me that cooking, like working out, is all about learning the basics and then experimenting to find out what works for me.
