Since July, I went from 155 lbs to 109 lbs.
I feel super great more confident than ever!!
I went from a size 12 to a size 2 in jeans!

Since July, I went from 155 lbs to 109 lbs. I feel super great more confident than ever!! I went from a size 12 to a size 2 in jeans! I used to hate trying things on at stores because things would never fit me right but now I “love” trying things on and looking in the mirror.

When I was younger I was always the shy one in comparison to my sisters. I caught myself being the stereotypical nerd- braces, huge glasses and overweight. Being insecure of my body played a big role on my action around others. Too shy to interact with people I didn’t know or just giving a report in front of my class at school. Although, I was & am a dancer, I never minded being on stage but most definitely feel so much more confident in every move and hold my head up looking right out into the crowd instead of my head down doing moves!!

I was never an athlete; I hardly made exercised part of my life. I was an all-star cheerleader, we only practiced 1x per week, it wasn’t enough to feel change. I never even thought of going to a gym before I joined Get in Shape for Women. I felt intimidated, embarrassed & I had no idea how to use any of the equipment in a regular gym.

One day I had overheard a discussion between my mom & dad about how she needs to about get back on track health wise. I looked in a mirror, I knew getting healthy and losing weight was definitely something that I wanted to do too. We went around town I noticed Get In Shape For Women, I had never heard of it. Went online to check it out, saw that others have had great results from it! We went to check it out. After the first week I felt like I belonged!!!!

As time progressed, I could feel that I was building self-confidence & def smiling a lot more! Every time I walk in they always know how to put a smile on my face, even on the worst days!! GISFW program is amazing & has changed my life!! Trainers give me the best support and attention I need!! They ensure me of all that I am & all that I’ve achieved!! I love Strength & Cardio Interval Training; it has been very effective for me!! Also being one of the youngest members gives me the opportunity to look up to older women & see how they are striving to achieve similar goals as I am! I never Would have imagined I would see myself walking into a gym smiling, laughing & having as much fun as I do at Get in Shape for Women!!!

I would like to take this time to thank Get in Shape for all they do for me!! They have really brought out a different side of me that I never thought I would see & has changed my life so dramatically!!

I have lost over 20 pounds and am in
the best shape I can ever remember!!

When I joined Get In Shape fof Women, I was on the fence about making the committment. I have tried every weight loss program over the years and would "loose" well. The problem was I always "found" the lost pounds and then some. I'm pleased to say that in just four short months of training and eating for my health, I have lost over 20 pounds and am in the best shape I can ever remember!! I feel like I have a whole new body. I feel younger, sexier and more confident. Watch out world!!

I am thrilled with the structure Get in Shape for Women provides! The trainers are motivational, understanding and a great source of information when it comes to re-shaping your mind and body! I love the support I get from the staff, and all of the other women! After losing 53lb, I feel so strong and "in shape" both mentally and physically.

I am 5lbs. away from my goal weight and look forward to maintaining my shape with "Get In Shape for Women"!!! Thank You GISFW!!

"At the end of the six months I was a size 8
and down 40 pounds. How awesome is that!! "

I was a 47 year old mother of three who didn’t realize that I had become extremely overweight. I still felt I was that thin 24 year old but reality hit me hard. My clothes were painfully tight, my feet were killing me and my back was beginning to bother me as well. After I went to see my son at camp I was looking at my pictures and I couldn’t believe how bad I looked. I was so ashamed that I had let myself get into this condition. I went to see the podiatrist about my feet and the first thing he told me that if I lost about 40 pounds my feet would feel much better. Forty pounds….how did I let that happen. So I decided it was time to do something.

I started to inquire at the local gyms to see what they had to offer. After meeting with the staff at Get In Shape I knew this was what I needed. Accountability, small group instruction, nutrition counseling and weigh-ins. Before I started though I needed to shop for workout clothes –I was floored at the size I had to buy….an extra large. I was at the time wearing a size 16 dress – what did I expect. It took me six months to lose the weight. It came off slow and steady but with the encouragement from the staff and my fellow workout partners I kept at it. At the end of the six months I was a size 8 and down 40 pounds. How awesome is that!!

Well now it’s been a little over a year and I’ve lost a few more pounds but I’ve gone down to a size 4. My body fat has dropped from morbidly obese to the acceptable range! My doctor was thrilled with the weight loss and the drop in my cholesterol. I’m thrilled with my new body. I recently accepted a position at the same Get In Shape where I lost all of my weight to help other women do the same. I love helping others with weight training, nutrition counseling and giving them the encouragement they need to accomplish their goals.

Thanks to all at Get In Shape for a life changing experience.

"As a healthcare professional, I highly recommend
Get In Shape for your body, mind and spirit."

I have been coming to Get In Shape since Jan 29, 2010

My main reason for joining was to regain strength and flexibility that I felt I had been losing over the past two years, but in the process I have surprisingly lost weight. I find I sleep better and crave healthier meals and I'm less apt to skip meals like I used to. I have not been sick with any sort of cold or virus since joining, and since I work in healthcare, that is very unusual.

The staff make all the difference. I have joined other gyms, but without the coaching I would quit right away or get hurt. As a healthcare professional, I highly recommend Get In Shape for your body, mind and spirit.

It is now like a hobby for me.

"I’ve shed 53lbs and 17% body fat."

At 46 years old I was morbidly obese, suffering from numerous health problems related to my weight, and miserable. When Get In Shape for Women came along I truly felt it was my last chance to make a change. Just any gym wouldn’t do. Having a scheduled workout with a trainer guiding the way was exactly what I needed. Accountability is a great motivator for me. Even better was the nutritional guidance and constant encouragement from the trainers and other clients. One year later, I’ve shed 53lbs and 17% body fat. I feel younger than I have in years and my health has improved tremendously. I don’t remember ever feeling confident or energetic, but I do now! Most surprising to me is not a week goes by that someone doesn’t tell me I am their inspiration! I’ve participated in two 5k races and look forward to more. I’m a different, and happier, person now and I never want to go back. My heartfelt thanks go to Get In Shape for Women. I couldn’t have done it without you!

"I have Lost 54 Pounds - Thank you GISFW for providing
me with the tools I need to live a healthier lifestyle"

Weight has been something I’ve struggled with all my life. I’ve tried many programs along with working out on my own, only to have little success or gain back what I’ve managed to lose. I realized I couldn’t fight this battle alone anymore. I needed help. That’s when my sister introduced me to GISFW. She had such a positive experience herself and knew this would be something I would like and I did. Why is it big sisters are always right? Luckily for me I didn’t mind this time.

After my first session I was hooked. The staff have provided me with so much support and encouragement during my workouts, I finally felt like I could really do this, that GISFW would work for me. For the first time in my life I feel like I have control over my weight. Now I actually like working out, but more importantly I love how I feel: healthier, stronger and ready to conquer anything. Thank you GISFW for providing me with the tools I need to live a healthier lifestyle and be the very best I can be because I’m worth it!

"I have lost 20 lbs and 3 dress sizes in 4 months and I
feel confident that I can continue living a healthier lifestyle"

Before joining Get In Shape For Women, I had been a member of serveral gyms. Unfortunately, I never reached my fitness goals because I never truly felt comfortable there, and I quickly invented reasons not to work out. That isn't the case with Get In Shape For Women. The scheduled work out times keep me on track and the staff have made me feel a confidence with the different exercises that I have never felt before. The supportive attitude and positive atmosphere of both the trainers and the other members has me looking forward to working out(a unique feeling for me). Yet it wasn't just the work outs that made the difference, but also their advice on how to eat healthier. Their guidance with exercising and healthy eating has enabled me to lose weight and not feel like I am on a diet. Thanks to Get In Shape For Women I have lost 20 lbs in 4 months. I have gone down 3 dress sizes and I feel confident that I can continue living a healthier lifestyle.

"I have lost 70 pounds so far"

In 2000 I was the heaviest I had ever been in 2000, at 248lbs. Feeling discouraged and scared I knew that at age 35 I had to make some permanent changes or I wouldn't enjoy another 35yrs. Emotional eating coupled with inconsistent exercise kept me on the gain-lose roller coaster. This time I knew the changes I needed to make needed to be for a lifetime. Although I have taken some steps backwards at times I will never allow myself to stay there.

In January 2010 I walked into Get In Shape. Of all the weight-loss centers and exercise clubs I have joined I knew that I had finally found a unique place where both diet and exercise were together as one package. The other places told me what I wanted to hear. With passion and concern for me my trainer told me the truth. No quick fixes, just self-discipline and hard work.

This journey has given me a passion to come along side others who struggle like I do. So, last month I enrolled in NPTI - National Personal Training Institute for a one year training program so I can be equipped to offer not only emotional support but certified personal fitness as well. Being fit is not an event it is a process!

"I lost 15 lbs, 15 inches and 12% body fat"

Get In Shape for Women has done wonders for me! The staff took into consideration when my Rheumatoid Arthritis started to act up and provided me with alternative exercises so that it would not put any excess pressure on my effected joints.The training also assisted in controlling my Type 1 diabetes. Having a trainer that knows you and what you are capable of is GREAT! Staff and clients alike are like family.

Having the small groups with only up to 4 women at a time gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get the attention to make sure that you are doing the exercises correctly. It also helps with no waiting for the machines as with larger gyms. Getting weighed and measured very 2 weeks give you the incentive to keep going. I lost 15 lbs, 15 inches and 12% body fat. My health coach friend thought that the body fat loss was amazing. I strongly recommend Get In Shape for Women if your serious about getting in shape and having fun while you are doing it!

"After six months at the gym I have lost
a total of 60 pounds & 27.75 inches off my body"

I am a full time Mom to three lovely daughters and I wanted to lose weight and get my body back in shape.

As a Christmas gift from my loving husband Kevin, I signed up for a membership and lost almost 20 pounds in the first month alone! Today, after six months at the gym I have lost a total of 60 pounds & 27.75 inches off my body. More importantly, I've regained my confidence and have started pushing my boundaries and challenging myself again. I've started running and have found that I have unbounded energy which allows me to do so much more.

I could not have done it without the helpful and very knowledgeable staff at Get In Shape. After changing my nutrition and working out three times per week consistently, I have reached my goals and am very proud of myself.

" I've now lost 20 pounds and 13.5 inches. I feel wonderful!!!"

When I realized all my care giving was draining me I needed to do something about it. Joining the standard gym I was able to put off going if someone needed me or something else came up, so I needed a better way to be held accountable. Upon joining Get in Shape for Women I had a trainer and a set time. I worked effeciently and effectively then got on with my day. I've now lost 20 pounds and 13.5 inches. I feel wonderful!!! I'm able to give better care to those around me because I've taken care of myself. It has been both physically and emotionally such a positive experience. Get in Shape for Women is something I highly recommend.

"Not only did I lose 20 pounds, 2 dress sizes, and
change my body, I completely changed my life as well."

When I made another resolution this past January to lose weight, I thought it would be another failed attempt like the many that came before. A Get in Shape For Women had recently opened near my home, so I called and it was the best call I've made. It was a comfortable environment where I was given personalized attention in order to meet my health and fitness goals, so much more amenable than the intimidating environment of a gym. Not only did I lose 20 pounds, 2 dress sizes, and change my body, I completely changed my life as well. I have never had the confidence that I do now and am in a place in my life I've never been before. I can't say enough about the program and the trainers and would recommend Get in Shape For Women to anyone looking to get healthy and shape up. It is the best money I've ever spent - to come out after six months and feel healthy, confident, and be on my way to living the life I've dreamed of. I've learned so much from my experience and my trainers and will not be intimidated by the gym ever again.

"So far I lhave lost over 65 pounds and
gone from a size 22 to a size 8…WOW! "

I love Get In Shape For Women! My trainer is a real sweatheart. She pushes you very hard, harder than you would push yourself. I feel so much stronger. My arms and legs have never felt so good.

So far I lhave lost over 65 pounds and gone from a size 22 to a size 8…WOW! I am now doing things I never thought possible like running on the treadmill. One of my goals is to hula-hoop for at least 10 minutes without dropping it!

At Get In Shape they hold you accountable for your workouts. Most nights, “something” would come up at work and I would consider not going to the gym. Because I have my appointment, I know that my trainer is expecting me. I know that if I let my trainer down I am really letting myself down.

Get In Shape is a REAL gym, one where you can feel comfortable and get REAL results. No one is there to judge you or make you feel bad about letting yourself go. The staff encourages you to be the best you can be and support you in reaching your dreams. Joining Get In Shape is the best decision I have ever made.

If I can do it, you can do it!

"I achieved my goal of losing 30 lbs and also
lost 18% body fat and went from a size 14 to a size 6. "

After years of bad eating habits and not exercising, my energy level and stamina were at an all time low. On many occasions I tried working out at a traditional health club, with great equipment, but had no one to stand by my side to show me how to use it properly. I liked the thought of hiring a personal trainer but couldn’t afford the steep price tag that came along with it. After hitting an all time low, I decided to do something about it. I had received the Get In Shape ads for 9 months before I finally picked up the phone to call. Get In Shape has made a huge difference in my life both physically and mentally. I achieved my goal of losing 30 lbs and also lost 18% body fat and went from a size 14 to a size 6. I now look forward to working out and am thrilled with the progress I’ve made.

"In 4 months, I've lost 22 pounds, 11 inches,
and 6 percent body fat."

I joined Get In Shape for Women because I was ready to lose the extra weight I gained with the pregnancies. I've been so pleased with the results! In 4 months, I've lost 22 pounds, 11 inches, and 6 percent body fat. Even more, I'm so much stronger and I feel great! I'm playing and running with my kids like I never have before. Get In Shape for Women is a very clever program that eliminates the need to rely solely on willpower to do the right thing. They make it easy for you. Plus, the staff is so friendly, it's been a lot of fun! I'm so glad I joined.

"I lost 20 pounds, 3 sizes and I can keep up
with the dog on our daily walk without panting."

I joined Get in Shape in December. I saw an ad that said there were small groups, a personal trainer, nutrition guidance and a free week. My past 2 attempts to get in shape ended within a week due to either over-crowding or lack of guidance. I was at the highest weight of my life and breathing heavy walking the dog and I didn’t have a lot of spare time. Get in Shape exceeded my expectations.

Three 1-hour sessions a week are totally productive. An interactive nutrition program helps in making balanced dietary choices. The staff and the other members are very supportive. Bonus: I lost 20 pounds, 3 sizes and I can keep up with the dog on our daily walk without panting.

"After just 8 weeks, I lost about 8 lbs and dropped
a dress size! I have better muscle tone,
more energy and sleep soundly at night."

My story is like most busy moms. Typical days are spent keeping my family and household running. I am 44, have a wonderful husband, two daughters and three dogs (could never keep the fish alive!). Like most wives and mothers, I put my needs last and my family's first. My days can easily become excessively filled with the required and often daunting minutia of life: getting kids to and from school/sports/friends, keeping up with the never ending pile oflaundry, having a quick and well-received response to"what's for dinner?", ... and so it goes ....all the while, taking less care of myself just because I didn't make the time. Grazing throughout the day in lieu of proper meals became the norm and the pounds began to slowly increase. Always a "thin" person, I didn't feel good physically or emotionally. I made the decision to join GISFW when I noticed it opening in my town. Unlike a typical gym, GISFW is focused on working and supporting you every step of the way with a personal trainer and meal plan suggestions to help you to realize your weight loss and fitness goals. Working out in a small group of four women makes it more fun! I never thought I'd laugh so hard while strength and cardio training, that's for sure! Our trainer, supports, motivates and at times challenges us (despite my occasional whining!...! can hear him say "push through it, Kelly, you can do it" practically in my sleep!) and we, in turn, encourage each other.

The owner is always there with a smile and an encouraging word (especially on weighin days!). I really look forward to going and I have never felt that way about a gym before. After just 8 weeks, I lost about 8 lbs and dropped a dress size! I have better muscle tone, more energy and sleep soundly at night. I've quickly become addicted to daily exercise and finally "get it" when people I know say they enjoy working out. Joining GISFW was, without a doubt, the best thing I've done for myself in 2010.

"So far I dropped 52lbs, 5 dress sizes and I can now run 5 miles."

When I joined Get in Shape for Women my goal was to lose weight and climb a mountain.

I'm most grateful to the outstanding trainers here...

Working in the health care profession, I've been using my weight loss to motivate patients with serious health problems to start a weight loss program. So far I dropped 52lbs, 5 dress sizes and I can now run 5 miles. I'm confidently looking forward to climbing my mountain later this month.

What a great feeling!

" I stand taller now, walk with my head up
and my eyes forward, and I smile. I AM HAPPY!"

“Get In Shape For Women helped me set a goal and there it began – a change I never imagined would happen. I followed the plan – pushed myself more and more and used the Vitabot daily, while training outside the studio, as well. At first, I began seeing the physical changes in my body and noticed how I was getting stronger…

And then the biggest change came, which was not physical. It was from the inside – I LIKE MYSELF – not because I looked better but because I felt better. I stand taller now, walk with my head up and my eyes forward, and I smile. I AM HAPPY!

"I was able to lose 10lbs and 5.5%
Body Fat in the first month"

I came in here looking to lose 15lbs and was able to lose 10lbs and 5.5% Body Fat in only the first month (totaled 19lbs in 3 months). This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I have also never been so proud of myself. I owe it all to my wonderful coaches – Thank You!!!

"If you follow the program you will lose weight."

When I joined Get In Shape For Women, I made an investment in myself. I wanted to lose weight and I needed one program that addressed in total the essentials of weight loss, and Get In Shape accomplished that. The program addresses proper nutrition and the importance of getting the right balance of protiens, carbohydrates and fats in my meals, it includes pre scheduled workouts three times a week and weigh-ins every two weeks, which kept me accountable to the program. Right away, I met with Hope, the Manager and discussed nutrition and a meal plan personalized to my needs. The trainer I work with Maria consistently encourages and challenges me to work hard during each session. The staff at Get In Shape For Women genuinely cares about my achievements and continually applauds my progress. If you follow the program you will lose weight.
