Donna started coming to Women’s Fitness & Personal Training five years ago:

"I started because I wanted something I could do for myself. I wanted a place where I didn’t have to answer to anyone and have time for me! Soon I found myself liking it more and more and becoming more fit, losing a little weight and feeling more confident about myself. Living a healthier lifestyle is an everyday learning process; I have struggled the last five years with a thyroid condition, but that doesn’t stop me. I have learned and done many new things since joining Women’s Fitness & Personal Training~Walking more than a mile, biking up to 40 miles and Climbing Mount Washington. My advice to everyone is to never give up; it might not be easy, but it can be FUN!"

Rebecca joined eight years ago to improve her health and become more fit:

"I started with the three~month program knowing that I could probably last that long...WOW! What a difference! I tried other health clubs and just was not satisfied with their service, professionalism, degree of knowledge and their follow~up. These four areas made the difference for me...no more shopping around for an exercise place; I’m staying at Women’s Fitness & Personal Training!

Shirley is 72 years young and joined in March 1999 following a knee surgery on the advice of her physical therapist.

" I needed to continue to gain strength and flexibility in my legs as well as address my cardiovascular system. I not only have reached that goal, but also gained stamina and a new sense of well being."

Testimonials from the Total Changes Program

“The 12-Week program was a challenge that was life changing for me. The nutrition information opened my eyes and made me think about what I put in side my body. The weight training exercises I believe was a big key to the amazing changes to the outside of my body.
I plan to do the Total Changes program again this fall, and I know that I will have additional successes!”
Lost: 14lbs and 8 inches!

“When I think back to this winter, I'm amazed how the "Total Changes" program has affected my life. It's not just my weight and inches that have changed. My life overall is different. I now know and believe that I am in control of my eating habits, not my emotions, and in turn have better control over my life. I've learned so much about nutrition and exercise, and understand how to make it work for me. This is not a "diet" for me. It's a lifestyle change that I could not have been successful at without the help of the Women’s Fitness & Personal Training staff. It was hard work and determination on my part, and the support of
everyone at WFPT that made this program fun and worth every penny. Thank you for giving me the keys to my success! “

“It works if you work it!! I was looking for a program that would incorporate nutrition and exercise and, most importantly, accountability. I have tried several times to bring myself to a healthy weight and body fat percentage. When I read the "Total Changes" flyer I became excited again. Meeting with a personal trainer 3 times a week kept me on task and motivated. I went from a fat % of 34.3% to 26.8% in just 12 weeks. How did I do it? Working the program! I attended nutrition talks, kept a food log and kicked up the intensity of my workouts! I never felt deprived or tired. I ate every 3-4 hours and never felt hungry or had cravings. In fact, several times I was told to increase the number of calories I was eating because I wasn't eating enough. I felt satisfied. No sugar highs and lows. I took away the term "recreational foods" from one of the food talks and it stuck with me. Before this program I didn't realize how much "recreational food" I ate as staples in my diet. I didn't eat a large amount but I ate them often. Now, I view those foods as a treat. It's been 3 months since I finished the program and I feel better than I have in years. I have been able to maintain my weight and kept up with the nutrition. I have more energy. When I feel like I need a boost I return to the materials I received or meet with a trainer. I have received and continue to receive compliments about my weight loss and frequently get asked how I am doing it. I tell them nutrition, exercise and accountability (to myself). The best compliment I received was from a co-worker and friend. She told me I inspired her to stay on track when she was feeling discouraged about her weight loss efforts. She is working hard and just recently joined the gym as the next step on her journey. So, if you need that extra boost, I highly recommend the "Total Changes" program. It will change your perceptions about "diet" and place your focus back on nutrition for a healthy lifestyle. Thank you Women’s Fitness & Personal Training staff for putting a program in place that incorporates nutrition and exercise for a healthy lifestyle! As Barbara always says, and I quote, "ignore your health and it will go away."
