Personal Training Success Stories

Liz Watkins, Fitness Coach with Kathy Harper

“I have been working out at Fitness Together, Virginia Beach since May 2010.  I had been out from work due to disability since February 2008 and had tried other venues of exercise without seeing the results I wanted and needed.  I asked my chiropractor, Michael Whalen, about working with a personal trainer.  Thinking this to be a good idea, he agreed that Fitness Together would be a good place to start.

The owner, Frank Rosalie, and his staff were very welcoming!  Although I am limited by the equipment I can use, Liz Watkins (my trainer) continues to use her creativity to develop programs which have decreased my weight and measurements, while also improving my overall fitness in the areas of flexibility and cardio.  We work hard, but also have a lot of fun!

I look forward to my continued relationships and workouts at Fitness Together.”

My first 6 months at Fitness Together have been terrific.  I have exceeded my weight loss goal of 15 pounds, improved my cardio fitness and feel fabulous.  In fact, I have lost 30 lbx. and 25 inches in just 6 months!

The total approach including in-studio training, daily cardio and diet management has worked like a char, and far exceeded my expectations.  My trainer is gret to work with.  He challenges m,e wihtout taking the fum out of the sessions.

My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!

E:Mail received from one of our valued clients:

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how pleased I am with your team at the Virginia Beach location. I have been a member for 5 years and have always been pleased with the professional way that everything is run. 

Even with the premium rates that I pay compared to a monthly fitness rate at a large facility, the results are not even comparable for me. Without the focused attention of a trainer to my particular needs, I would not have accomplished near as much on my own, in fact, I probably would not even be still at it. I have accomplished more  in the past 4 years at Fitness Together than I have in the past 20 or 30 years on my own.

“I have now been a Fitness Together client for eight months.  Goals are meant to be achieved and some even exceeded.  That is where I am right now.  I have lost thirty pounds and am in the best shape that I have been in since college.

That first step is always the hardest.  I drove by Fitness Together for years before I finally made that leap of faith and stopped in.  Fitness Together has made me a better husband, father, friend and all around better person.  When you feel good about yourself it creates a natural energy that is felt by others.

I have no time for exercise with my crazy schedule.  I have a wife, two children, a dog, a house and I own a local business here in Williamsburg.  Who has time for working out?  Not me – or so I thought.  I am a workaholic!  But, guess what?  At 5:00 p.m. my doors are closed and I am heading to Fitness Together for either my workout session or a Cardio workout.  I go back to work most of the time but my employees and clients have learned that this is my hour.  It has become a way of life for me.  I actually enjoy sweating!

Motivation is the key!  Dieting is not.  My trainers helped me develop eating habits which have been crucial in achieving my goals.  These habits have developed into everyday routines that have become a part of my life.  My trainers have become my friends and are without a doubt truly gifted at the art of self awareness and motivation.

Thank You to all my friends at Fitness Together.

"I feel much better.  my energy level is terrific.  I now look forward to doing even more exercise and feel more confident.  I've lost over 35 pounds and 33 inches and I have more upper body strength, which is what I wanted.  I love Fitness Together.  It's a great program.  My advice: stop the excuses, stop the second guessing.  Do it for yourself -- do it for your family.  Fitness Together changed my life.  I look and feel great!"
