LEAP Testimonials

"Team, I cannot express enough the gratitude I have for you and Life Fitness Management. I have gone from barely making it to feeling fit and healthy again. As Louie and I have discussed before “discipline” is the first hurdle in making this plan work and each day it gets a little easier to achieve that. Thanks for all your help and guidance as I continue to achieve my goals!" - Dick G.

"We had talked about dieting and trying to get healthier for a while. We’ve never been really unhealthy, but we were both feeling heavy. And, we were heavy. Doug’s health had been an issue. He had had open heart surgery three years earlier, so we knew that we had to do something. Amy had offered to “help us”, but we had to be ready. Finally in October 2006, Doug said he wanted to start Amy’s program. I decided to go along, primarily to support him. We could both eat in a more healthy way and if we did it together it would most likely be easier. I was pretty hesitant about “working out.” I’ve been athletic in my life, but never considered myself a person to “work out.”

Well, Doug had no problem getting into the swing, working out and meeting with Amy. Together, we followed the nutrition plan Brenda and Greg had set out for us. Doug kept talking about “the gospel according to Greg.” What he was referring to was Greg talking about nutrition while Doug was working out. That made Doug more aware of how to eat and what eating in a healthy way was all about. Eating healthy together really helped.

We both started losing weight and toning up. We both started feeling better. For me, I had only “dieted” once. So I didn’t have the baggage of yoyo weight loss. Doug had tried a number of times to lose weight, but he has almost always worked out in some way so, he was able to lose and tone. We were faithful in our eating and exercise. I talked some friends into walking with me, and soon they got interested in what we were doing.

The eating part can be hard to get used to. But, unlike what I’ve heard from people who are on diets, if we “splurged” at a meal we didn’t have to be so worried. We just knew that we had to get some extra exercise in that week to get rid of those calories. We’ve changed our eating habits significantly but, we feel good about it. If we really crave a pasta dinner, we order one serving and share it, on occasion.

The great thing is, people don’t say, “Oh, you’ve lost weight.” They say, “Wow, you look great!” And we feel great.

Thanks, Life Fitness!" - Betsey H.

"In December 2007 my husband gave me a gift certificate to Life Fitness Management. I wasn’t terribly excited about the gift, but I knew that I needed to loose weight and that this could be a good incentive for me to begin my weight loss journey.

After Christmas, I began my quest at Life Fitness. When my initial body age assessment was completed, I was quite disturbed and apprehensive. Much to my dismay, my body age was much higher than my actual age. Brenda and Amy both assured me that this would improve by implementing a program of healthy eating and exercise. I also began a strength training program with Louie, my personal trainer. In addition to the strength training, I did cardio training on my own four to five times a week.

Amy is an exceptional life coach; she offers constant support and encouragement. She is always there for me and has helped me overcome many challenges.

Brenda assists with dietary issues helping me to understand the importance of food for fuel and not just for pleasure. She offers many good food tips that assist in accomplishing goals.

Louie helps to improve my strength and balance. His instruction and knowledge helped me to obtain my goal. He makes my workouts enjoyable and keeps me laughing a lot of the time.

Life Fitness Management is a spectacular gym. It is beautifully decorated and is equipped with state of the art equipment. More importantly, it is staffed with a caring, professional, and talented group of individuals. The minute I walk in the door they make me feel very welcome and comfortable.

Thank you Life Fitness Management for assisting me in achieving my goal!" - Bonnie M.

"Life Fitness is a warm and welcoming environment, especially for those who have never frequented a gym or had a routine of exercising. I felt like I belonged from the start and didn't feel self-conscious about being out of shape. My trainer always made me feel that I could do any of the exercises, whether it be only 8 or 10 repetitions, any attempt was good. It is equipped with state of the art machines, fabulous locker rooms and showers, along with a sauna. The staff is so professional and always willing to be of help.

You can always depend on encouragement from your trainer and your coach; within a short period of time, you can feel and see the results along with a change of attitude. An added bonus to the life-saving changes is a new group of friends who provide their support and experience daily. There are always new programs being added that may be of interest, like Zumba, which gives me an additional workout and yet it's lots of fun.

LFM participation ensures that I will be able to romp with my grandchildren and they will see me as a young and fun "Mimi". It doesn't get any better!! Thank you -- it's the best gift I've ever given to myself." - Mary Beth P.
