ABOUT FITNESS TOGETHER

Personal Training Focused on Quality of Life

At Fitness Together we specialize in private one – on – one personal training. During each scheduled one hour appointment each client will enjoy their own fully equipped private training suite – no waiting on equipment, no distractions, no uncomfortable stares. All clients complete a fitness assessment which includes the testing of cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. A bound report with graphs and charts is developed clearly charting the results of the fitness assessment so that the client can understand his or her present overall fitness levels. A certified personal trainer will use the fitness assessment as well as information gathered in the initial consultation to develop an individualized exercise prescription specific to the client’s needs and goals. Our registered Dietitians are available to develop support nutrition plans and daily accountability. Fitness assessments every six weeks allow the client to observe measurable changes in their overall fitness and provide trainers with the information to develop modifications to the exercise prescription to insure clients are moving toward their personal goals.

Drop by and experience the warm, welcoming environment at Fitness Together.  Each client is greeted with a fresh bottle of water and clean towel.  Clean bathrooms and a large tiled shower is provided.  The spa-like atmosphere includes fresh cut flowers, artwork from local artists and complimentary fresh fruit.  As clients at the North Chattanooga location complete their cardio workout they are treated to a beautiful view of Coolidge Park, The Walking Bridge, The Hunter Museum, The Tennessee Aquarium and scenic Lookout Mountain.  Even the view protects one’s privacy as the windows are tinted allowing one to enjoy the Scenic City without the Scenic City enjoying you.

The FT Philosophy – Quality of Life

The vast majority of the fitness industry in our culture sends the message that human worth and value is wrapped up in one’s appearance and body image. The fitness industry markets to the public using vanity and sex appeal as its tool. The fitness industry manipulates the public by appealing to one’s insecurities to get in one’s wallet.  At Fitness Together we believe this is a lie and we do not subscribe to this reductionistic philosophy.

At Fitness Together we believe by definition human beings are whole – spiritual, intellectual, emotional, relational, and physical – with each aspect fully integrated and overlapped.  Thus people by definition are beautifully designed and created. 

Our focus at Fitness Together centers on quality of life.  As the decades of life pass it is inevitable that overall health will diminish.  But, we do not have to be victims of the passing years.  We can take ownership of our health.  As the decades pass people want - a skeletal system that will hold them up, a functional body, and a sharp mind.  Therefore at Fitness Together we focus on health:

• Bone density                                   
• A  functional body(strength, flexibility, range of movement in all planes of movement, balance)
• Cardiovascular Enduance
• A Sharp Mind
• Disease Prevention
• Supportive Nutrition

The synergy of proper exercise and supportive nutrition are the foundation to a healthy body.  Make the commitment to your quality of life.
