Todd and Denise Duncan
TWO clients, 1 trainer, 1 great workout!
While we typically work with one client at a time, every now and then we bend the rules and train a well-matched husband and wife or pair of friends together. Todd and Denise Duncan are an example of how much fun and how effective partner training at FT-Northshore can be! As busy owners of Structural Engineering Assessments, Todd and Denise struggled to find the time to fit regular exercise into their schedule before. After committing to train several mornings a week at Fitness Together, they noticed that their fitness was improving, but the weight loss still wasn’t happening as quickly as they hoped for.
The final piece of the puzzle for Todd and Denise was to re-evaluate their diet and change the way they were eating. By paying closer attention to portion sizes (Denise now occasionally allows herself a single chocolate square or a single serving cup of ice cream to control her caloric intake), they are seeing the inches fall off! They both have more energy and stamina to do more around the house and yard, and feel like their friends sometimes move in slow motion compared to them now! In addition, their overall fitness has dramatically increased – see for yourself:

Todd and Denise like the fact that training at FT is convenient, and they don’t have to worry about what they are going to do for their workouts. “We just show up and Larry has a workout plan ready for us and he keeps us moving for the entire session!” They also enjoy exercising together because they can encourage and challenge one another throughout the session.
