When I first walked into the new Sammamish Fitness Together facility, I had no idea how much it would change my life!  I was exercising on my own and getting some results, but I knew I was missing something.

I found "IT" here with the help and guidance of my amazing trainer Amy.  At Fitness Together, I get the professional guidance to reshape my body along with the accountability and motivation to eat healthy.  I found out I wasn't eating "enough" calories for all my physical activities!

In four short months, I have achieved many goals that I hadn't thought possible or had given up on.  I have lost over 26 pounds and 6% body fat!  I have lost 20 inches and went from a size 16/18 to a size 12 petite!  I am stronger than I can ever remember and I am running for the first time in my life.

I cannot say enough great things about this program and my awesome trainer.  Amy inspires me to do my best and to know that my best is good enough.  Together we have set goals and then she develops a program, just for me, to help me achieve those goals. She guides me so that I get the optimum results and stay on track.

I look forward to every day I get to work out with her.  I can't wait to see where I'll be next year.

Thank you Amy.

I was driving to work one day and heard Lisa from 92.5 talking about working out with a gal named Amy, a personal trainer from Fitness Together.  Lisa said that she had never liked working out and Mitch asked her what she liked about Fitness Together.  She said that Fitness Together had one room and one trainer and it was very private.  I was almost to my destination and liked what I was hearing about this fitness program.  I scrambled to get a pen and write down the number that Lisa was giving out to her audience.  I worked that day and kept thinking things like "could I afford my own personal trainer?" and did I have the time to do it.  I liked the idea of not having to work out in a gym with other people, which I had done before and not very successfully.  I still remembered the people dropping their weights around me.  I also remember how they stayed the same size and seemed not to know who to advance in their workouts.  The personal trainers at this club seemed bored and only interested in signing people up for new memberships.

I called Amy the next day and was immediately impressed with how friendly and easy she was to talk to.  I am a nurse and Amy told me that nurses did not take car of themselves because they are always taking care of other people.  I laughed when she said that, but knew in my heart how right she was.  I am 63 years old and I knew that I did not want to get injured lifting weights the wrong way.  I guess I forgot to tell you that in the last club I joined I had lifted the weight wrong and developed tendonitis.

I made an appointment to meet with Amy and committed to begin working out with her. Amy and I have talked about the fact that you can't put a price on your health.  If you ask me if it is expensive to workout at Fitness Together, I would have to say that it is quite reasonable compared to what it would cost you to spend several days or months in a hospital being treated for high blood pressure or heart disease.  I see this in many of the patients that are being treated in the hospital.  This is a lot more fun and I've made a wonderful friend along the way.  Her name is Amy and she is interested in my progression and is dedicated to making sure that I lift those weights the right way.

I don't think I have had a day that I regretted making this decision to get healthier and stronger.  This year I bought a stereo for my husband for Christmas.  I was able to carry it across the mall and I was proud of that.  I was the women who had trouble carrying her grocery bags into her house from the car.  I still remember Amy telling me that it would take some time for me to get stronger and it is exciting to see that happening.

I hope if you are reading this letter that you will seriously commit to joining Fitness Together.  You will be glad that you did.

I had dreamed for many years of someday having a personal trainer show me how to exercise properly for safe, effective results.  I didn't have a clue how to get started on a fitness regime.  When I heard about Fitness Together on the radio, I thought that it might be just the thing I was looking for.  I went and checked it out, met with the owner, Amy, and found that she was very willing to work with me to help me reach my goals in a way that made me feel comfortable.

I'll admit I was afraid before my first workout because I was a consummate weakling!  But Amy made me feel great, instilled confidence in me, and inspired me to do my best.  I'm not kidding; I actually looked forward to my workout sessions!  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and I learned proper form and technique.  Soon I was seeing muscles that I had never noticed before!  I was so excited!

Amy's sense of humor and thorough knowledge of fitness training make it a joy to come and work out, and I gained not only muscle tone, but a huge sense of accomplishment and confidence.

When I first came to Fitness Together, a busy work schedule and family life had physically worn me down; I was literally sick, and the doctors couldn't find anything medically wrong with me.  Within two weeks of working out at Fitness Together, and journaling in my Accountability Journal, I no longer had any symptoms of illness.  What is more important than your health? It has to come first so that you can be all that you want to in the other areas of your life.  I believe you will not regret trying Fitness Together!  It has been a HUGE blessing in my life, and I recommend it to everyone that I know, no matter what their age or lifestyle.
