success stories

Dr. Jason Harris

As a physician, I understand how important weight management is to overall health. For several years, however, I struggled to keep my own weight at a healthy level. When I decided it was time to make a change, I knew that the only healthy and permanent way to lose weight was to eat fewer calories, increase my cardiovascular exercise and make weight training a priority in my life. Over the past year, I have dedicated myself to these goals. As a result, I’ve shed over 80 pounds, and I feel I’m in the best physical condition of my life. In addition, my blood pressure normalized, my energy levels skyrocketed, and my self-consciousness melted away.

Study after study in the medical community prove that weight training plays a key role in any attempt to lose weight or improve one’s cardiovascular health. Initially, I tried weight training on my own, but       I needed the benefits that personal training can offer, including expertise, motivation, safety, and appropriate goal setting.

Fitness Together has played a key role in my transformation over the past year.  I get a more efficient workout than I could achieve on my own, along with added benefits of flexibility and core training. Beyond    the superior training I receive, the team at Fitness Together has gone out of their way to personalize my experience. The staff is always motivating, friendly, and respectful. They work with my hectic schedule and tailor my workouts to achieve my specific training goals. In addition, Fitness Together offers nutrition and exercise counseling to ensure your success, and periodic fitness assessments to objectively track your progress. For those serious about making a positive change in their health, I highly recommend Fitness Together, as a physician and as a client who has seen Fitness Together make a positive difference in my own life.                                                                                                                                                                                     - Dr. Jason Harris

Sharon made a decision to start taking care of herself after her having her fifth child.  Before Fitness Together she worked out at the gym, did the same routine and found that her workouts were stale. Since coming to Fitness Together Sharon has lost more than 15lbs! “I have lost a whole roll of fat!” she says. Sharon adds “it has made me stronger and has given me a lot of confidence.” FT has also made me more aware of my eating. “If I am working out and paying for this, it makes me think about what is going in my mouth”.

For 25 years, I was always going to get in shape and lose weight TOMORROW. Well, tomorrow finally became today when I received the Fitness Together postcard in May about the opening of their new Melrose facility. I needed to make a commitment to good health and someone to help me live up to that commitment. The staff at Fitness Together has done just that. Melanie, Chi, Tracy, Sean & Marika have provided all the encouragement I’ve needed, particularly when I had to do those last few ab crunches or push ups. And the convenient location has also helped. Twelve weeks later, I feel amazingly better, less tired, and much stronger. My entire diet has changed (and even found tasty substitutes for those times when I crave a snack). The positive comments I’ve received from family, friends and co-workers add to the incentive. So thanks guys for making my tomorrow become today. And by the way, after 25 years I’ve started running again!
