"I had hit a significant plateau for six months after losing the initial 40 lbs on my own. Fitness Together broke that plateau and it really started coming off quickly! I am down 16 dress sizes. I am most proud to carry my "before" pictures (I never am without them) to encourage others and show people it can be done."

Fitness Together Client and Professional

"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."

"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. 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."

I have been training at FT on 5th Street in Santa Monica several times per week for over a year.  The results have been tremendous; it has changed my life.  I recommend FT to anyone, regardless of age, gender, fitness level, or training goals.  

The training focuses on the core, balance and the interconnections between muscles.  When you first start the training, you can tell something positive is happening, but it can be difficult to grasp the full import.  Over time, with consistent work, you will be amazed by the results:  posture will straighten, balance will improve and promote more graceful movement, and you will have the strength and stamina to do your daily tasks with the kind of ease you thought you lost years ago.  The people in your life will undoubtedly notice changes, regardless of your starting point.

On top of the training program, the experienced and knowledgeable professionals will give you advice on nutrition and cardio to assist your weight loss goals.  The staff is excellent.  They have been doing this for a long time, have a the necessary degrees, and use a low-key, helpful style.  

FT in Santa Monica is clearly a successful practice, with many long-term clients like me.  During my scheduled three time per week visits, I see the same clients before and after my session - I have been seeing them for over a year, and I have watched us all change for the better.

If you are at a place in your life where you are ready to invest the dollars, time, effort, and self-discipline, put yourself into the FT program.  If your experience is like mine, you will come to view it as one of the smartest moves of your life.

I came to FT with the following goals in mind: become strong and lean. I am avid mountain biker and play in other sports outdoors as well. I wanted to be a better athlete - focus on my form in strength training and just overall be healthier and more fit. 

Kelly is an excellent ambassador of the facility. You can tell how much she cares about her business and her clients. My trainer, Kyle, is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is focuses on form and obviously builds each workout with my goals in mind.. not his other clients (no boring template workouts). I would highly recommend Fitness Together.

When you sign up, you also get access to a great software program that tracks your fitness and weight loss goals. You can see how many calories you are eating, the nutrition value of your food and learn more about how you can improve your diet. The overall cost of FT is worth it - since it is access to a personal trainer, nutritionist and individual focus on YOU as the client. Obviously, I love these guys. www.dokumentfilms.com/

"My experience at Fitness Together can be summed up in one word-RESULTS! I started at Fitness Together in May 2007. My hopes were to achieve several pounds of weight loss, overall better health, and increased self-confidence. After my first three months were up, I couldn't wait to sign-up again. In just three months I was able to achieve every one of these goals and more. I had never really enjoyed exercising. I didn't know exactly what to do or how. Now those 45-minute sessions at Fitness Together are the best part of my week. I am in the best shape of my life and feel better than I ever have before. I have made a complete lifestyle change and plan to continue for the rest of my life, you've made an extreme difference in my life!!!"

I could have been the poster child for a sedentary, unhealthy lifestyle.  I wanted to exercise and eat better but even with the many options out there, nothing felt right.  When I saw the Fitness Together ad it intrigued me; I loved the idea of a private training room with just me and the instructor. Several months and many, many pounds lighter I couldn't be happier with my decision to work with Kelly and Kyle.  They developed a specific workout program for me and continually refine it as my needs change.  They watch me like a hawk to make sure I'm doing everything correctly, provide great emotional support, push me when I need it (which is pretty much all the time) and have unbelievable patience.  The facilities are spotless; the equipment ready when I need it, and I love that there is a fresh towel and a bottle of water waiting for me when I arrive.  Fitness Together has made a HUGE difference in my life.

I have been with Fitness Together for a year now and it has truly changed my life for the better.  I am a healthier happier person and I know more about fitness than I ever did on my own.  The trainers are like your family or best friends and that's a rare thing to find these days and all the advice they give you on dieting and working out has help me lose 12 lbs. and build muscle.  I thank everyone from Fitness Together to help me be able to look at the scale and my body and not cringe.
