Well, believe it or not.......I have kept up with my workouts. Still lifting 3 days a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 3 days a week as well. I never would have thought in a million years that I would like working out. Or feel the desire to!! It has become a regular part of my days. I'm still eating right (with the occasional cheat) and trying to make the most of my efforts that way as well. So......all in all I am doing wonderfully!!! I'm not going to lie, some days it's harder than others to get started, but I persevered.
Training with you was one of the best things I ever did and has had long lasting results. What started out as a spur of the moment whim when I signed up has turned into a lifestyle change. I really think that the last 12 weeks of working with you helped get me set up to work out on my own.
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. You have created a monster. ha ha!

Thanks so much for all you guys did for me. I would highly recommend your services to anyone. I had never worked out with a trainer before. The one on one concept was appealing to me from the beginning. You were always paying very close attention to me, teaching the correct way to do all the exercises, which I learned is very critical. I am currently working out at a large gym on my own and have noticed that some of their trainers don’t seem to pay as close attention as you did. Once again thanks for everything you guys taught me.
Sincerely,

My husband and I started at Fitness Together in January. We are very pleased and excited about the results we have seen so far. My husband has lost 53 pounds and I have lost 43 as well as a total of 27 and 20 inches in the chest/waist/hips. We love the individual attention we receive. Thanks Nick, Ashley and Lane for all you support!

I did not realize when I signed up for Fitness Together it would be a life changing experience. At first, I was overwhelmed, not only with the workouts, but also the serious approach to exercise and eating and making it a part of my life. My trainer, Nick, was very friendly and knowledgeable, but the idea that I needed to be accountable to him and ultimately to myself, was scary. As Nick led me thru my workouts, I gained knowledge about exercising. With his direction and guidance, I began to develop a sense of confidence I have never had before. He challenged me and I learned I could achieve that “next level”. What a great feeling!!
When I work out on my own now, I bring with me not only Nick’s encouraging smile and words, but the knowledge, direction, confidence and motivation to continue my healthy lifestyle.
Nick Ryan is dedicated to changing lives. He is professional, yet his down to earth personality is comforting and encouraging. He is very knowledgeable and a good listener.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

For about 3 years I was pouring my heart into a job working anywhere from 60 to 70 hours per week which turned into eating a lot of junk food, not spending anytime to care of myself, and gaining a lot of weight. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t know what to do it was that I didn’t have the accountability, discipline, and motivation to follow-through with what I knew. The other problem was that going to a regular gym was completely unattractive to me. Then I discovered Fitness Together and it all came together. FT had expert trainers who really cared about my health and pinpointed my fitness and nutritional needs. They also gave me that accountability that was always missing as well as a close family atmosphere that made me feel I didn’t want to let the trainers as well as myself down

I was at Fitness Together again yesterday. =) I go twice a week. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be able to go! I feel so healthy and strong and after years of being sick, I feel like a brand new person! I no longer feel old and decrepit! Now that is worth shouting about!
I was telling Nick (my trainer) about my sad revelation that after a year of working out, I still don’t have this workout thing ‘under my belt.’ How I thought that by now I would have become an avid workout junkie. That I’d wake up bouncing with excitement to go run or lift or whatever. That I’d just happily forgo whatever fattening food was in front of me knowing it was poison, certain death to my goals. Likewise, I’ve just assumed that people who workout always love working out, that it is innately a part of them, and that they never struggle with it. I always assumed there was a special workout grace for those lucky people who naturally gravitate toward athleticism. He smiled and said that to even those people it is still work. What? That’s not very encouraging to someone like me! But then again, it is. They still have to motivate themselves, as do I. It may not get easier, but at least it’s not easy for the naturals either. lol
Personally, I gravitate to sitting and reading, sitting and writing, sitting and working on my computer, sitting in the backyard enjoying the beauty or standing to cook! I consider pushing a grocery cart up and down the isles and carrying the bags in the house to be a workout!
Yesterday I was chatting with Deb at the dry cleaners about these things. She’s seen me change over the last year as I carry in dirty laundry and carry out freshly pressed shirts. She knows I’ve been a regular at Fitness Together just down the street, so she asked me how it’s been going. I shared my newest revelation of how it hasn’t gotten easy yet . . . and that it never will be easy, sigh.
She’s a runner. She’s been running for years! She told me that there were times she was unmotivated or wasn’t feeling all that well, but that she would keep at it because she was afraid if she stopped, she might not start up again! That’s what kept her running! We have something in common! That’s part of why I keep going! I’m not afraid if I stop I’ll never start up again, I’m fairly certain that will happen!
As I finished up my workout yesterday, Nick, as always, found the golden nugget of encouragement. He’s always so good at sifting through everything and seeing the improvement, the success, and pointing it out. He reminded me that even though I’d been extremely tired that morning (after flying in the night before – having taken 4 trips in 8 weeks!) that I showed up! That’s huge! He mentioned that I got out my food diary and started it up again, telling him about it so that I could be accountable. He said that is a great sign of change in my life. Monitoring my schedule, activity and eating and adjusting shows just how much I’ve learned over the last year.
He’s always so good at reminding me of the monumental steps I’ve taken, baby steps for me, yet life-changing significant steps all the same. (One small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind?) My friend Deanna reminds me regularly from whence I’ve come. It’s easy for me to forget the pneumonia, the dizziness, the weak heart, weak lungs, the multiple surgeries and weak muscles from all of that. Easy, because I want to forget. She reminds me and gets choked up just thinking about where I was and where I am now.
I may not be where I’d like to be. (But really, who ever is completely?) But, I’m not where I was, and I’m moving forward. That in itself is worth celebrating. Working out may never become easy, but Nick told me it shouldn’t. He said if it’s easy, then I’m not working myself hard enough. Why bother going through the motions but not gaining any benefit? Too many people settle for that. Workouts should be hard.
So, as I keep at it, I need to celebrate the little things, like the progression I’ve taken. Hate working out – dislike working out – seeing the benefits of working out – not hating working out – looking forward to working out because I will enjoy the benefits. I still wouldn’t get there without having to make and keep an appointment. The accountability is what gets me there! But at least I show up, and that’s progress!
Here’s to another year!

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed the last six months of training. I've wanted to do that for a long time and glad I finally got a chance to do it the right way. I feel not only fitter but tremendously more educated about how to maintain my fitness going forward. I hope to put my training to good use, but will miss the push I got to really maximize my time and get the most out of my training. Thanks again for a great training experience. Hope we keep in touch.

I was walking behind my sister Susie in Greece last spring, about a year ago.
I kept staring at her. Her body looked lean. Fit. Better than it did when she was 30 and she was then 54, a year older than me. How could it be?
She had been telling me for the past couple of years about Fitness Together in her home town of DesMoines, Iowa, a couple of hours east of Omaha. I just couldn’t get past the whole idea of a personal trainer- in many ways- seemed a little desperate, extravagant, indulgent, and expensive. I was skeptical, having invested untold amounts of time, energy and money in the past on improving my body. “The key….”- I was always searching for “The Truth”. Searching, but no action, and rightfully so, all the chatter and misinformation out there. It’s insane. Like searching for the Holy Grail.
WT??
I was sick of feeling so under-confident when I exercised/dieted and the results were sort of dismal. I would walk in a gym and kind of… wander around. I would get distracted and watch other people and wonder if they new what they were doing and were they getting results? A few reps here, a few reps there- Oh that hurts- that’s enough of that - now I think I will try another machine- Wonder what this one will do. . . .
I feared an injury, so I never pushed myself. Eventually I’d quit, as it was so very unsatisfying and discouraging-a colossal waste of time. Ridiculous.
When I got home from Greece, I found FT on the internet- yep- there it was- in Omaha, Nebraska, a few miles from my house. Nick Ryan was the trainer and owner. I signed up.
Let me just say that he changed everything about the way I exercise. I needed the one-on-one instruction. I needed the accountability. I needed the structure. I needed the nutrition counseling (thought I already knew it all- geez I was sick of being hungry)
I needed to learn how to perform exercises correctly- maximizing my efforts and minimizing the risk of injury.
I worked-out with Nick about three times a week for ten months. He never wavered. Always consistent. Always confidant. Always professional.
Now, when I workout at the gym or at home or in a hotel or while vacationing- it is no longer this big dark, hopeless, vague, black hole.
Bottom line- if you are frustrated and struggling with your weight and/or not getting substantial results in your level of fitness, you need instruction from a pro. I recommend FT in Omaha without any reservations.
Quit thinking about it. Do It.

Three years ago I came face to face with how much weight I have gained and decided to do something about it. At first I joined a national chain gym and got a personal trainer but after a short time I decided I wanted something more tailored to my needs and more personal. So I began searching for a different kind of fitness center and that’s when I discovered Fitness Together. Immediately I was impressed with the personal trainers. It was like they knew exactly how hard to push me, something that was missing at the gym. I also liked the smaller sized areas and the continuous tracking of my progress so I could see as well as feel the results. Fitness Together has that intimate setting where it felt like it was just me and another personal trainer and I didn’t feel like I was on display like I did at the gym. As for my results it was really all these things coming together as well as my internal motivation that helped me stay focused and motivated
