My first 6 months at Fitness Together have been terrific.  I have exceeded my weigt 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!

“I am a traveling physical therapist and have worked in many States along the East Coast in the last 5 years.  A job brought me to Williamsburg three years ago which is when I first joined Fitness Together with goals for weight loss and improving my strength and endurance.  As a PT, I design and implement therapeutic programs for people on a daily basis so I was thrilled to find a training studio that would plan workouts for me so that I didn’t have to think about it; just show up and work out.  I have worked with Frank, Antwain and Joshua and all have been extraordinarily professional and excellent at what they do.  My workouts are challenging and vary from session to session so that I am not only motivated to work out but excited to see what they have planned each time.

I recently returned to Williamsburg for the third time and immediately joined Fitness Together again.  They helped set in motion a lifestyle change for healthy eating, staying hydrated and exercising on most days of the week, all of which have made a huge difference in my life.  I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel for the goals I’ve set.  I’ve lost just over 100 pounds in three years and am in the best shape of my life.  Running a 5K is no longer a dreaded, daunting task but a regular weekend event.

What I’m most proud of though is that I just completed my first Triathlon.  Trying to juggle swimming, cycling and running has been a challenge but Joshua and Antwain have focused on my goals and provided workouts that have gotten me to the point of being a Triathlon finisher with new races in my future.  I thank Fitness Together for caring about my outcomes and for the amazing results that I’ve seen.  I will always return when a job brings me to Williamsburg.

“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!"

Having a personal trainer is a valuable element in the process of reaching a goal.  As a person who has always fluctuated in weight, I have found the weight loss answer that so many people desperately seek, thanks to my Fitness Together sessions.  After a few months of hard work and self-discipline, I can happily rattle off the key things that I have adapted into my new life style.  Learning how to take control of my diet and exercise with the trainers has made such a difference in feeling a lasting dedication for myself.  At twenty-five pounds lighter, I still learn from my trainers what I wouldn’t have on my own whether it be a new workout, better food choices, or even a good stretch!
