I moved to Mooresville six months back and found this exceptional personal training center called Fitness Together Mooresville. The trainers are so friendly and encouraging which gave me the confidence I needed. My workouts were never the same and challenged my thinking about what I am physically capable of. I lost 25 lbs. in the span of 2 months.* Thank you Fitness Together Mooresville!

Prior to starting Fitness Together, I didn’t realize how much my overall fitness had declined over the past 4 years. After getting married and starting a family, my focus on my health took a back seat to everything else. I’ve always tried to stay active whether it was playing basketball or working out at a gym, but would always end up finding myself falling off the wagon again and again. So I looked up personal trainers in the area and found Fitness Together and figured I had nothing to lose (except weight).
I started Fitness Together weighting 270 pounds in January 2013 and by June 2013 I was down to 235 pounds.* This has been one of the most amazing life changing experiences I’ve ever had. I started working out 3 times a week. After I begin seeing the slightest improvement in my weight I just wanted more. I moved to working out 4 times a week and then 5. I started seeing my weight drop and muscle toning occur at the same time.
I used to experienced lower back pain from the weight. I could no longer fit any of my clothes and rather than starting back working out, I just bought bigger clothes which enabled me to gain more weight (image that).
The Fitness Together Trainer (Jon) that has worked mostly with me during my time here has been tremendous at structuring my workouts to help me reach my goal. He’s constantly staying on top of my eating habits and encouraging me to take control back over my life. Even on the days that I’m not motivated to go hard, he pushes me to give it all I have.
All of the trainers here are dedicated to helping their clients reach their goal and have fun while doing it.
I’m eagerly looking forward to continuing improving my health and never going back to where I was. I owe everyone at Fitness Together the biggest “Thank You” possible.
I’m also telling people that ask me where I workout at about this place and how it’s ignited the fire in me to keep going. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

My experience with working out at Fitness Together has been awesome! I actually love to exercise and have worked out on my own for the past few years. I am a motivated, disciplined person and I believed that I could reach my fitness goals by myself. I thought I didn't need any help - but I was really wrong!
After just a couple of months working with the trainers at Fitness Together, I was able to achieve more than I had on my own in the past year.* Being coached one-on-one by a trained professional produces amazing results.
I am really looking forward to getting started back and working on taking my fitness to the next level.
