Fitness Together has been an outstanding experience for me. I was frustrated with my expanding waistline and, despite being very active, I was not able to lose weight. FT has shown me how to watch and manage my calories with “MyFitness Pal” and they have shown me how to work out more productively and efficiently in order to get a better benefit. They have shown me how to use weights as part of my workout – something I had never done. The staff is outstanding – very committed to the process and very friendly and encouraging!

Everyone has a weight loss story, I am sure mine is very similar to yours. I worked out for years while I lived in Minnesota and reached all of my goals. Then, I relocated to NC and let everything except the gym and my health, take priority. That was a huge mistake. I tried several gyms, but again, I had lost my focus and commitment which resulted in a 20 pound weight gain. Then, I found Fitness Together. Initially, even though I was working out 4 days a week, I still ate what I wanted and justified it. My before picture was taken in May and was truly my wake up call. All of a sudden things clicked, I entered the gym for my next session and pushed myself to the limit. When I left I was completely focused on my nutrition. By December, I had lost 22 pounds.*
The Fitness Together team are phenomenal. My trainer would train me and tell me that if I wanted it I had to put the work in. We have laughed together, I have cried, they have pushed me until I thought I couldn't do it anymore, but I can and do! Now, my 5:30am sessions are my job, and I truly can’t get through my day without a session. Today, I am in the gym 5 days a week. While some may say that is extreme, I say it’s a lifestyle choice. There is NO magic pill or easy way to get results, it’s all blood, sweat and tears! I always think of this as I work out and feel like I just can’t do it anymore, “…nothing tastes as good as fitting into my skinny jeans feels." If I can do it, anyone can! Get in the gym, work your butt off, push yourself, and focus on the nutrition. I guarantee you will reach your goals.

After visiting several workout facilities to train at, I concluded and felt that Fitness Together provided the resources and staff to help me achieve my fitness and nutritional goals. It was the right decision. In 12 weeks, I lost 17 lbs. and 16.5 inches including 2.5 inches from my waist.
Everyone is so supportive. The nutritional help was a bonus. My energy level is amazing. I am looking forward to the rest of my journey.
I would recommend Fitness Together to anyone looking for a healthy lifestyle.

"The one-on-one attention was amazing, and the results were, too. In less than 12 weeks I lost more than 15 inches in size, improved my core strength (and shape) dramatically, created definition in my arms and legs that I never knew I could have."*
I have exercised all of my life; running, cycling, swimming, lifting weights and even trying a personal trainer. Sure, I was in ok shape, but I never saw any noticeable results and still worried constantly about how much or how little I ate. I felt like the definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result!
In January of 2007 I started working out at Fitness Together, South Park. From the beginning I knew that these workouts were different. They were truly unique, geared specifically to me and my goals, and included exercises that I could never have done on my own. The one-on-one attention was amazing, and the results were, too. In less than 12 weeks I lost more than 15 inches in size, improved my core strength (and shape) dramatically, created definition in my arms and legs that I never knew I could have, and even lost a few pounds along the way.* Hooray for the revved up metabolism! I feel incredible.* I am more energetic, happier, and able to do anything I want to at home, in the yard, or for fun.* A friend asked recently if I would go back to working out on my own, now that I’ve “learned how.” My answer was “No way…I’m hooked!” Fitness Together has ended the insanity. I’m a convert for life!

“Private training gets results, gimmicks don’t”. I’ve always been skeptical about claims that sound too good to be true. This tag line from FT sounded like typical marking fodder until I met Joe for my free introductory session. Joe and all the trainers at Fitness Together Steele Creek have held up their end of the bargain through a professional approach based on proven results and hard work. Each trainer I have worked with at FTSC has demonstrated in-depth knowledge in nutrition, exercise, recovery and on really bad days, even a little compassion.
While I still have a long way to go, I am proud of my accomplishments so far. I know that I could not have come so far so quickly without the team at Steele Creek. I can really see that when my job requires extended travel. I don’t push as hard in the hotel gym (if I make it there at all); I slide on my meals and skip cardio. When I stick to Joe’s plan – and Ray’s routines – and if I am honest with myself, I see steady progress.
The key – to me at least – is just that, steady progress. This is a lifestyle change for me, not a project I need to finish before I get back to what I was doing before. I can’t imagine a better team of trainers or a more supportive group of clients. Thanks, to everyone at FTSC.

Andrew Snyder
Trainer
My love of fitness started at age 14, after losing nearly sixty pounds of bodyfat. I realized how much better I felt living an active and healthy lifestyle rather than a sedentary one, and at nineteen years old, I became ACE certified. My goal for all clients is to build upon their athletic potential through weightlifting, high-intensity interval training, and low-impact cardio, all as means of lowering bodyfat percentage, increasing strength, and improving mobility. I have worked with all different ages, fitness levels, and walks of life.
I look forward to training with you soon!

Dee Jackson
Trainer
My love for fitness started 5 years ago, at age 42 when I received an alarming diagnoses from my doctor. For years to took my health for granted, and my bad habits finally caught up with me. I needed to change my attitude and make lifestyle changes if I wanted to live a longer life. I started bodybuilding to stay accountable because bodybuilding requires a lifestyle of regular exercise and good nutrition. Within 6 months I was healthier, and became an undefeated National Level Figure competitor. By age 47 I had won 3 Figure Overalls, 3 Masters Overalls, rate 5th at the North Americans, and at age 46 I won the prestigious Arnold Classic Master Figure Overall. My health and wellness journey has motivated me to share what I’ve learned, inspire my clients, and assist them in understanding the value of regular, progressive exercise coupled with good nutrition, as well as coaching and supporting healthy lifestyle choices. I embrace a positive approach which is proven to promote lasting change. Invest in your health. Looking good is a bonus
