Client Testimonials: I am 65 years of age and I am feeling GREAT! I have lost
After seeing a photo of myself in a swimsuit this past summer, I knew then that I had to do something about my weight and my health. I’ve been a member of a few fitness programs and life style changes, but somehow I would lose interest. I might diet and not exercise or I would work out without a nutrition plan. Some programs are too rigorous for my age and that left me exhausted throughout the day. I would dread going to my workouts—none of these programs kept me motivated. “Get In Shape For Women has it all. A program that starts you out slow and increases as you continue throughout the months. The weigh-ins have kept me motivated and accountable. Remembering that one must eat to lose weight, but it’s what you eat that makes a difference.” - Suzanne Hanlon Nothing tastes better than feeling and looking great in your clothes!
Get In Shape For Women has really changed my life. Prior to joining, I frequently found myself making excuses as to why I couldn’t fine time for the gym. As a mother of two young girls, my biggest excuse was that I had to put their needs first and I simply didn’t have any time to think about “me”. However when my oldest daughter told me she wanted to be just like me, I started to realize that my girls were at an age where they were noticing what I was doing, eating, thinking, etc. I recognized that in order to set a positive lifestyle example for them as a mother and a woman, I needed to improve my own choices. By joining Get In Shape For Women, not only was I making a good investment in “me” and my health, but I was also investing in my family’s well-being — I have more energy and zest to take care of them than ever before. And— you won’t hear me complaining about fitting into smaller, sleeker clothing either! Nothing tastes better than feeling and looking great in your clothes! - Kristen Gennari I have gone from a size 12 to a 6, I feel so much stronger,
I feel like I’ve been trying to lose weight forever, so when I saw a testimonial for GISFW in my local paper written by a former student of mine, I felt inspired. Forget the fad diets; the key is changing your lifestyle, and that’s what GISFW helps you to do. For me the accountability has been the most motivating aspect, along with the personal attention from the trainers and the solid nutrition guidance. No one can do the work for you but they can show you what you have to do in order to see results. I have gone from a size 12 to a 6, I feel so much stronger, and my sleep has improved dramatically. I look forward to going to the gym and as I reach new milestones, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Shopping for clothes, while always fun, has become all the more rewarding! I am close to my goal and excited about how I have been able to change my perspective on food and exercise. GISFW has helped me to accomplish in less than four months what I had been unable to do on my own for the past twenty years! - Jennifer Hee Take it from me, if I can do it. You can too!
In June when I joined GISFW I was training for an 18 mile fundraising walk in New York City. I thought I was “training” and doing all the right things, but I was unhappy with my weight and my eating habits were horrible and I felt stuck. I had been diagnosed three years earlier with severe food allergies and I used it as an excuse for my weight. When I met the trainer at GISFW I was concerned the diet would not work for me because of my food limitations. She assured me it was possible if I had the drive and dedication. I started to get into the routine of my work outs and following the GISFW diet. I saw results I never thought I would see. Not only was I able to lose weight and feel better, I started to question my food allergies. With my new found confidence I found a doctor who helped me and I continued on my weight loss journey. If it had not been for the support and confidence of the trainers and other members I would have never tested my limits both physically and emotionally and I would still be stuck. Thankfully everyone at GISFW saw something in me that I had yet to see for myself that I can. Take it from me, if I can do it. You can too! - Lori Brightman I have lost 17 pounds and numerous inches
Since joining Get In Shape For Women on December 8th I have lost 17 pounds and numerous inches. Best of all, my blood sugar is in normal range, I have more energy, feel better, and u have renewed interest in exercising and eating right. Also my bowling game has greatly improved because I have so much more strength. The trainers are so helpful, funny, and supportive. The thing I love most about GISFW is that I get to eat food I can buy in a supermarket, my favorite healthy snack is Greek Yogurt with strawberries (yummo), I eat this snack everyday and this is something I can continue to do for the rest of my life. - Searena Biggs It’s been almost 10 months since I joined GISFW, and
I’ve always loved to eat and while I never really considered myself thin, I also never felt like I was overweight. My weight went up and down through two pregnancies and often fluctuated through the holiday seasons, but I always considered myself reasonably healthy. I was 15 pounds over my wedding weight from ten years ago, but I had come to accept that this was how my body would be from now on (if I was lucky!). Last year, however, I gained a few extra pounds, and I started to feel uncomfortable in my clothes. Uncomfortable and self-conscious. I found myself throwing on sweats and a loose t-shirt as soon as I came home from work each day. I was spending way too much time and energy worrying about how I looked, and I didn’t like the way I felt either. I came into GISFW in June, curious to see what the program was like, and I was surprised to find out that my fat percentage was only one point away from obesity! I may not have been looking my best, but I certainly didn’t think I was this unhealthy! So I joined. For the first three months I only lost one pound, maybe two. People in my workout sessions were shedding pounds like nothing, but I wasn’t discouraged because I knew something good was going on with my body. I could feel the difference. I could see myself slimming down and toning up within the first couple of weeks, and my clothes began to fit again. It almost didn’t matter that my weight was not changing as quickly as I had hoped. I felt better— healthier. I knew I had to just keep at it. When I finally got serious about my food intake, the weight really started coming off. That felt great, too. It’s been almost 10 months since I joined GISFW, and I’ve gone down 8% in body fat and lost a total of 10 pounds — 10 stubborn pounds that I’d been holding on to for a very long time! It doesn’t sound like a big loss, but it has made such a big difference for me. I love the way I look and feel. Life can get hectic, and it’s not always easy to get into the gym, but I really look forward to my workouts and I’m grateful to the GISFW trainers for keeping me motivated and on track. - Grace Oh I am 50 pounds lighter and a whole lot stronger physically and mentally.
What I thought was impossible, with the help of very caring trainers has become the possible. I am 50 pounds lighter and a whole lot stronger physically and mentally. Thank you GISFW! - Lorraine Sullivan Now exercising and healthy eating have just become part of my routine.
I’ve struggled with weight as long as I can remember but after having 3 children in 4 years, I decided it was time to do something once and for all so I can be healthier for my girls. It can be hard to find the time to fit in exercise, especially juggling 3 girls and a full time job, but the set workout times made me put something on my calendar. Now exercising and healthy eating have just become part of my routine. Based on experiences with other facilities geared towards women, I had some concerns that the workouts would not challenge me enough or that I would get bored but that fear was quickly laid to rest! The trainers have been great about regularly increasing the intensity and complexity of the workouts and I am constantly being challenged— and seeing the results. - Cindy Taylor After 6 months I have lost 14 lbs & 10% body fat surpassing my goal.
I was always thin until u hit college where I discovered a new passion for pizza & beer and gained 25 pounds. After graduating I began working 40+ hrs a week and promised myself I would get back into the gym. Six months ago I finally decided I needed to take responsibility for my weight. I joined GISFW because I loved the model of accountability & that I was responsible for showing up 3 days /wk. After 6 months I have lost 14 lbs & 10% body fat surpassing my goal. I have enjoyed working out & can fit into my pre-college clothes, the diet changed my way of thinking about food and now I am very conscious of what & how much I’m eating without feeling starved. It took a while for me to fully accept the program into my life but once I did I saw results. I am now healthier & happier than I have been in years. - Courtney Lyons Since joining, I have lost over 20 lbs and many inches.
I joined Get In Shape For Women fifteen weeks ago. I had looked at many other places before meeting the trainer and taking a free workout. All of the other places did not give me the individual attention and any of the supports that I have now. Most of the other places I would have had to make myself go but with the trainers at Get In Shape For Women and the friends I have made, exercise can actually be less painful. I have met women my own age and we share ideas about weight loss and have fun while exercising. Since joining, I have lost over 20 lbs and many inches. I have made Get In Shape For Women part of my life. I feel better and stronger than I ever have at fifty-five years old. The trainers know when to push me harder so I don’t get complacent and they help me celebrate my successes. I cannot wait to see what the next months will bring. Thank you Get In Shape For Women!!! - Denise Bahosh Since joining Get In Shape For Women I have lost 20 lbs.
Since joining Get In Shape For Women I have lost 20 lbs. This has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve tried many things to lose weight over the years and it has been an up and down battle. This program helps you make adjustments to eating and exercise habits for a lifestyle change versus just a diet plan promising weight loss. The staff is wonderful to work with. They listen and figure out what works for each individual on exercise based on each person’s need to help you accomplish your goals. - Barbara Weglarz No more “a-la-carte” gyms for me — GISFW just works!!
After just two months at GISFW, I have more energy, my balance and strength are much improved, and I’ve gone down a full size! The four-components philosophy (weight training, cardio, nutrition & accountability) makes perfect sense. I love knowing that my chosen workout schedule is reserved for me each week. I am recovering from shoulder surgery, and I receive close supervision and workout modifications from the amazing trainers. No more “a-la-carte” gyms for me — GISFW just works!! - Ellen Scannell In 8 weeks, I have lost over 9% of the body fat I started with,
lost over
Measurable results in under an hour a session? I thought, “You have got to be kidding me!!” Well, I was (happily) wrong—! I discovered GISFW in my neighborhood, and realized I could not afford *not* to join and improve my fitness — now, not tomorrow or someday. I found a way to make the numbers work. This program has delivered *more* than promised, and I am only at 8 weeks of membership! In 8 weeks, I have lost over 9% of the body fat I started with, lost over 10 pounds, built strength and endurance that enhances every activity—. I even found my long-lost collar bones and Irish dimples! I can’t stop grinning! I have achieved changes in 8 weeks that I didn’t even imagine would be realistic fitness goals—especially at under an hour sessions. “Effective and efficient” isn’t just a sales pitch, it is fact—. Spontaneous comments of “You look great!” are flowing my way every day. What is better is how great I feel. - Judith Crowley I have lost 18 pounds and inches everywhere.
I’ve been coming to get in shape for five months. I have lost 18 pounds and inches everywhere. I am now wearing a pair of jeans I bought 20 years ago for the first time!! I look and feel so much better and have a lot more energy. The trainers are great and very supportive. When I had knee surgery in December, they worked with me and Physical Therapy exercises to slowly get my knee back in shape. I love it! Thank you so much! - Holly Greening Since joining Get In Shape for Women I have managed
Get In Shape for Women has done so much for my life! Most importantly, I am now a healthy role-model for my family. When I started I was an emotional eater and was very overwhelmed at the thought of losing weight. It was as scary to think about all that I had to lose as it was to consider that I wasn’t going to have the foods that I knew I could turn to in the past to comfort me in times of stress, the Get In Shape for Women team coached me to “take things one day at a time,” sometimes even one meal at a time. By focusing on the short-term my goals didn’t seem so impossible. In fact, the trainers made it FUN! The reason I love Get In Shape for Women is that it isn’t just some circuit training that you might expect to see in a typical gym — it’s a complete program that I have been able to fit into my busy life as a professional, career-oriented, single-mom. The program focuses on all the necessary aspects of what it takes to lose weight and keep it off, which is something that I have been looking for a long time,. Imagine - a program that actually delivers on its promise! If I could offer one piece of advice to new clients it would be to be patient and work the program, - it didn’t take a short time to put on the weight so we can’t expect for it to come off too fast. I learned to see 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per week as a wonderful success. One more thing: Before I started I knew that what I was doing wasn’t working. Last spring a few of my friends began the program and were getting awesome results. I knew that if I gave the program a chance and followed it that I too would end up a winner — I did and I have! Since joining Get In Shape for Women I have managed to lose 95 pounds and 16% body-fat! I am me again! Thank you Get In Shape for Women!!! - Maria Kirkland Get In Shape for Women — you saved my life!
As a 60 year old woman who was morbidly obese for the last 15 years, I was at my wits end. My family life from the time I was a small child revolved around the dining room table with aunts, uncles, and cousins. And, in addition, I suppose the fact that my family operated a potato chip factory, didn’t help my cause. I am a retired high school teacher of 35 years. In my last year as a teacher, due to the fact that I was morbidly obese, I started having heart problems, TIA’s, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol etc. things weren’t getting any better and in the three years after my retirement, I began to investigate surgical procedures, and finally made the decision to have Lap Band surgery. The surgery is not easy as people think because you have to go through months of counseling, classes and dieting. My surgery date was finally set for February of 2010. From the time of my surgery until May I lost only 10 pounds, the weight was slow coming off and I was devastated. I had always joked that if they opened a gym in Georgetown, I would join. When they opened a “Get In Shape for Women” in Georgetown, my son James called my bluff. I went in on a whim and spoke with the owner. He had to work really hard on the “sell” but I decided I was ready to give it my all and was excited to find that they were willing to take me on. My experience has been incredible! For anyone even considering weight loss or interested in toning up — JOIN In Shape! The trainers, the counseling, the nutrition, and the equipment are wonderful. BUT, the opportunity to have only four people in a class with a trainer is something no gym offers. The owner, manager, and trainers work with you as an individual. They find the best exercise for your body. You aren’t left alone to just work on a machine, you learn to use the equipment properly. I can’t tell you what it has done for me and for my confidence. At this point, between dieting and pre-surgery weight loss, I am down a total of 120 pounds, but 70 has been since joining “Get In Shape for Women”. I would never have accomplished this without their instruction and unbelievable support! I am proud to say (and almost embarrassed to admit) I have gone from a size 24 to a 6! I can only say thank you to my trainer and thank you In Shape for believing in me!!! - Nancy Perkins In 4 months at Get In Shape For Women I have lost 50 lbs.
I’m 23 years old and in 4 months at Get In Shape For Women I have lost 50 lbs. At GISFW I’ve gotten the support I needed to make a lot of positive changes. I am now eating healthier and feeling better. I’ve accomplished a lot in such a short time and with the support of the staff I look forward to achieving more. - Sandy Destra Being at Get In Shape For Women has been such a
I always look forward to seeing the staff and the ladies I work out with. I am a true believer that if you are really committed to the program, you will get results. I am 100% happy with the workouts and the support that I get from Get In Shape For Women. I enjoy being a part of the studio’s positive environment, while being challenged in my workouts. Being at Get In Shape For Women has been such a wonderful experience and I always look forward to going there. - Lisa Lombardo Get In Shape For Women has given me so much more
My work with Get In Shape For Women has given me so much more than a 20 lb weight loss and over 9 inches less on my body. It has helped me to build the courage and belief in myself that I never knew could exist. It has transformed my outlook on exercise, goals and commitments. It has given me ‘go get it’ attitude. It has built perseverance. Previously, I always considered myself a quitter, never giving anything 100% because I was afraid to fail. That has all changed,! Now, my perception of myself is one that encompasses strength and reliance. While I was on the bike this am, I could hear you coaching me to ;make my spine like a telescope’ and ‘look straight ahead,’ ‘shoulders down.’ And more importantly, when it got tough, I would hear words of encouragement, ‘you’re almost home,’ and ‘this is awesome’ and instead of giving up, I pushed myself harder. You have been instrumental in all of this positive change and I want to thank you, for helping me discover a new part of myself, one that was non-existent. This experience has truly been a journey and I look forward to continuing to grow and change physically and personally. - Lauren Lightbody I have lost 28 pounds and have more energy.
I have been to many gyms over the years when I found Get In Shape For Women I knew this was the gym that will help me succeed. The staff is caring and helpful and very encouraging. As a result of this you are driven to reach your goal. Get In Shape For Women has changed my life! I have lost 28 pounds and have more energy. - Mary Murphy I lost 25 pounds and gained a new life!
After years of trying to lose the weight and get healthy, Get in Shape gave me the support, personal attention and motivation to finally stick to my goals. I can honestly say that it was the best investment I ever made in myself—I lost 25 pounds and gained a new life! - Christina Hanzis I’ve lost over 22 lbs and 8% body fat and 18.75’’s!!!
I’ve lost over 22 lbs and 8% body fat and 18.75’’s!!! Get In Shape For Women worked for me and it will work for you! - Julie Wong I lost 20 pounds rather quickly.
I am a 50 year old woman who joined Get In Shape For Women to lose weight. I had a sit-down job, ate in restaurants too often & hardly did any exercise. I lost 20 pounds rather quickly. What happened next was rather surprising. I began to lose inches & develop muscles. I have received many compliments on my dramatically new look. - Valerie Carpenter GISFW can make a dream come true
If losing weight and getting fit was easy I never would have joined GISFW. I needed the support, assistance, and inspiration that the trainers provide and to make a commitment to the program of supervised exercise and nutrition. GISFW can make a dream come true as soon as you walk through the door and begin! Taking these first steps really helps to take the guess work out of the difficult process of personal transformation. The nutrition plan provides a guide for lifelong health. I’m learning how to make better choices and never feeling hungry by eating smaller amounts of the right foods more frequently. I thought I could shed unwanted pounds by walking my dog, riding my horse and giving up ice cream. The mirror said otherwise! And over the years I had gone from a size 8 to a size 12. Now I feel stronger, have more energy, enjoy fashion and clothes the way I use to and I feel more positive — even happier! Oh, and the burden my horse was carrying around is 25lbs. less now! I lightened the load of my equine pal and made my kids proud. So thank you GISFW and here’s to a healthier me for 2012! - Tammy Gardner I lost 65 pounds in 6 months at GISFW.
My name is Areti J.Stamatos-Gomez, a Greek-American, married to a Dominican-American, Jose. I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. I work as a manager of my family American restaurant and American & Latin Club, Breezeway Bar & Grill, 153 Blue Hill Avenue, Roxbury, Massachusetts. You may think that losing weight while working in a fast food environment is difficult or impossible, but with the personal training and expert nutritional advice of the GISFW manager and personal trainer, and the personal training it was a piece of cake! I must especially thank my personal trainer and nutritionist who was with me 99% of the time. With his dedication and my determination, I lost 65 pounds in 7 months at Get In Shape For Women. I went from size 16 to a size 6 in 7 months. The reason I made one of the best decisions of my life to join GISFW was to lose weight for my wedding day 11-11-11, after having gained weight after being rear-ended in a car accident in 2010. I joined GISFW on March 25th, Greek Independence Day, to gain the independence over my battle of gaining weight as I was determined to lose the weight and look great in a Strapless, Corset-back Wedding Dress. My personal trainer has helped me lost the weight and keep it off. Due to his dedication I looked and felt like a beautiful bride on 11-11-11 as my father, James walked me down the same aisle of the same church The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England, he and my mother, Tasia who was admiring from the first row of the church were married 43 years ago on 3-3-68. My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Greece, birthplace of my parents and I am back at the gym I love, GISFW! Thank you GISFW for making me look and feel like the most beautiful bride ever! - Areti J.Stamatos-Gomez I’ve lost over 40 pounds, 21.5 inches and 6.8% body fat.
I started Get In Shape For Women on March 29, 2011. Since then I’ve lost over 40 pounds, 21.5 inches and 6.8% body fat. I haven’t seen this weight since 1996. WhooYoo!! I am so proud of myself! Going in, I knew what I needed to do. I knew what foods I should be eating. I knew that I should be eating three meals and small snacks in-between. I knew that I needed to exercise. Over the years I’ve been a member of many gyms and I have signed up with different weight loss programs. They all helped a little, but it wasn’t until I walked into GISFW that it all came together. They have a great team of trainers that give you individual attention. They keep you motivated and on task. They know what you’re capable of and will push you when needed, and believe me, sometimes I need it and I welcome it. They weekly weigh-ins and the preset work out appointments keep me accountable. In the past I would wake up and decide if I wanted to work out now I know that I have an appointment and folks are counting on me to show up. More importantly I look forward to my workouts and I enjoy the camaraderie with the trainers and other women - Judy Lankford GISFW helped put me back on the right path
Get In Shape For Women gave me the push I was looking for. Not only did they give me the push I needed to become healthy, hopeful person again; they helped put me back on the right path — one I had fallen off of years ago. The trainers are wonderful and I will be forever grateful for what they have done for all of these beautiful women. Don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can’t do — not even yourself. - Stephanie Pappaconstantinou I was able to lose nearly thirty pounds, lower my blood pressure
I am truly grateful to GISFW for helping me obtain better health. Due to the caring professionals, I was able to lose nearly thirty pounds, lower my blood pressure and cholesterol, and eliminate most of my medications even after many surgeries. I feel great and have so much energy. The accountability as well as the nutrition and exercise counseling is what I needed to reach my goal. The trainers are always very encouraging and supportive. Thanks to all. - Jude Zeoli I have lost 32 pounds since October 1st
Get In Shape for Women (GISFW) has made such a difference in my life!! I have always battled with weight for as long as I remember. I tried several diets, even had one of the first gastric bypasses, only to put the weight back on. I had walked past GISFW several times and always wanted to stop and see what it was all about, but I never did. However, I loved the fact that it was just for women and the environment appeared intimate to me. Last August I had a hip replacement. I went to physical therapy and once I started feeling better I thought “I don't want to spend my life in pain and not taking care of myself”. GISW was having an Open House so I asked my daughter if she would go with me to check it out. We did and were pleasantly surprised! I was still under doctor's care and explained my recent surgery to Jayne. She said they could work with me and any restrictions I might have but wanted to make sure I was committed. My daughter and I were so impressed — we didn't get a hard sell and didn’t hurry through — we actually left without me joining. Jayne encouraged me to think about it. I knew this was a program I wanted to be a part of! I called Jayne 2 says later and joined. I have lost 32 pounds since October 1st and lowered my fat mass to 27%! I have learned the importance of nutrition and how critical it is that you DO eat!!! I also enjoy exercising now, which is something I avoided. It works! The patience and concern of the trainers through my recovery along with their encouragement has made such a difference for me! I look forward to my workout days and believe I have made lifestyle changes thanks to Get In Shape for Women! - Susan Mendoza You sign up “to get in shape”, but you end up getting so much more!
I have always been someone who is self-satisfied, happy in my own skin and confident in my appearance. From high school to college, and then again from college to graduate school, and then, sadly once again from graduate school to my professional career, I noticed that my weight was slowly creeping up to a level that I could no longer tolerate. I began cringing at photographs of myself, and feeling more self-critical than I had even been before. Taking pictures became a game of avoiding certain angles. Flattering outfits I had once loved now hugged all of the wrong places or didn’t fit at all. Stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office stopped seeming routine and started making me defensive. Despite constant reassurance from my fiancée at the time that I was still beautiful as when he met me, despite weighing almost 30 mounds more, I felt my confidence slipping. With a wedding in early October and a somewhat unstructured summer since I work in a school, I decided at the end of June 2011 that I needed to seriously consider getting “in shape” for the wedding, for my health and for myself, in general. I philosophically refused to go on a crash diet or do anything drastic to lose weight for the wedding. In fact, the number on the scale had little to do with motivating me to make a change. It was the difficulty smiling in the mirror. I wanted to begin a healthy pattern of eating and exercise that fit into my lifestyle and made me feel better, inside and out. In a regular day, I would hear ridiculous commercials on the radio about taking a certain “supplement” to lose weight and see outlandish advertisements on the TV about risky surgeries to erase fat. I would think to myself how desperate, foolish and dangerous these options would be. Being the wise and frugal consumer I am, while flipping through the local newspaper for coupons, I came across an advertisement for a free week session at GISFW. I thought to myself “What do I have to lose”? Weight, I suppose. During my first session, I felt an instant sense of relaxation and immediate connection to the staff. As silly as it seems, I was really attracted to the soothing colors and décor used in the studio. My wedding colors were purple too! The staff was welcoming and warm, willing to open up about their experiences and genuinely interested in mine. I justified the cost of the membership to myself as just another wedding expense. I hadn’t spent that much money on my dress, an item of clothing I would wear only one. I should invest in my health, something that will be with me every day. Although I was asked to leave my comfort zone I needed a gentle nudge. Previously, I was more of a “foodie” than a runner. I would rather go back for seconds than be on a treadmill for minutes. I went to the gym, but I want really pushing myself. It was difficult to hold myself as accountable without a support system. The friendliness and honesty of the staff and other members encouraged me to work harder, both with fitness and with nutrition. The people at GISFW became like a second family, with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Knowing that others had similar experiences reduced my self-criticism. Sharing common goals with others increased my motivation. It wasn’t long before my stress levels came down and my energy levels went up. At the same time, my weight dropped and my strength improved. Not only was I noticing my accomplishments, but my small successes were celebrated by the community. I was acknowledged by making the “Rising Stars” list in the first three months. By the time I had put on my wedding gown, I was at a place where I could look in the mirror and beam with excitement. I had accomplished something great and I was about to enter into something even greater! I was honestly shocked by how gorgeous I felt on my wedding day, especially after seeing the expression on my husband’s face as I walked down the aisle towards him. At a recent doctor’s appointment, I didn’t hesitate as I was asked to step on the scale to be weighed. I was proud. I am proud. As I don’t plan on stopping now. I extended my membership from 6 months to a full year, knowing that I can build on the momentum I have to reach my goals. Although it is not part of the four main components of the program, it may be the camaraderie that’s keeping me going the most. You sign up “to get in shape”, but you end up getting so much more! - Jessica Cataldo Who said “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?”
My blood pressure was too high, along with some other numbers. I was feeling old and not liking it at all. Then I saw an ad for an open house at Get in Shape for Women. I thought, “This could be my last chance to help improve my quality of life.” Incredibly, with the help, encouragement, good humor, and their age sensitivity, I became a believer. I’m feeling great: younger, positive and energized. I do still hate to exercise, but I can because of the support and advice of the people at Get in Shape For Women, which includes the owner, the manager, and the trainer. I have lost 49.8 pounds and 15% body fat! My doctor was shocked at my weight loss and overall new numbers. To this my doctor said, “Now I’ll have to lower your medications and frankly I don’t get to say this too often.” Get in Shape for Women has changed my life! Thank you, and a special thanks to Julia, David, and Fabio! - Carolyn Philippon Since joining I have lost 30 pounds, I eat healthier
I was disgusted with myself before I joined GISFW. I was stuck — I was working out 4 to 5 days a week doing just cardio and nothing was happening. I knew I should incorporate weight training and nutrition but found it so easy to walk by the weights at the gym and I justified over eating because I worked out. Since joining I have lost 30 pounds, I eat healthier and I have a new wardrobe — my old one! GISFW is an investment in myself and they help me stay accountable to the investor — me! Not only do I feel great, my doctor took me off my cholesterol medication! Thank you GISFW for supporting me! - Sue Kelly This program really works!
I feel great! I have so much more energy and look forward to my workout sessions. The coaches are so supportive and encourage you each step of the way. This program really works! - Anne Hynes I’ve lost 25 pounds, 2 pant sizes and over 5% of my body fat
I’ve lost 25 pounds, 2 pant sizes and over 5% of my body fat, but I have gained so much more than just a healthier body. I’ve regained my self-confidence. The trainers work with you so that every session you get the most from the time you spend. You are challenged every step of the way in a manner that makes you want to do more, be more and push yourself to reach beyond what you thought you could do. If I can do it, anyone can! - Joyce Racheotes To date I've lost 21 pounds and 13 inches.
I have enjoyed my first four months at Get In Shape For Women. I AM "getting in shape!" The mix of nutrition, cardio, weight training and support has been a fabulous combination! The commitment invested by the staff has made all the difference. To date I've lost 21 pounds and 13 inches. I look forward to continuing my weight loss journey at Get In Shape For Women. - Allison Brader Since joining I have lost over 20 pounds!
I joined GISFW wanting to be healthy and get off medications, as I am pre-diabetic. Since joining I have lost over 20 pounds! And I have been able to get off one of my medications so far, I plan to be off all of them some day with my doctors encouragement! This program is really working for me, it just clicks! The trainers are key, along with the nutrition. My kids are really proud of me, and I'm able to keep up with my grandkids. I love that this is a small studio, it is not intimidating and the staff is great! - Sue Mills I have now lost a total of 90 lbs in only a year and a half with GISFW!
Get In Shape For Women has taught me how to value what I can do rather than what I can't. Since my first day, my trainers have challenged me to do more and take my body to the next level. I not only lost weight, but believe that I have changed my metabolism through their weight training program that increased my muscle mass while reducing body fat. Am I muscle bound? Absolutely not. I'm told by my family that I appear to weigh less than my actual weight. I attribute that to Get In Shape's exercise program and nutritional guidance that gave me long, lean muscle and a phenomenal loss of inches. My new lifestyle, especially this past year (2011), included participating in two 5k, one 10k, one 8k and a half marathon relay with my daughter. The key to running does not only include running regularly, but building the leg and core strength required to run a distance. My goal for 2012 is to run a full half marathon. I have now lost a total of 90 lbs in only a year and a half with GISFW! With the help of my trainers at Get In Shape For Women, I look forward to this next challenge... - Diane Shaugnessy It was my hope to lose 20 lbs and to turn that body fat
I had tried other gymns and group exercise classes along with many "diets" over the past few years with minimal success until I joined GISFW. GISFW has helped me to exceed the goals I set for myself when I joined. It was my hope to lose 20 lbs and to turn that body fat into muscle! After 8 months, I have exceeded my weight loss goals and dropped two sizes and I am now stronger than I have ever been and feel great. I owe my success to the trainers who are extremely motivating and truly dedicated to helping me acheve my goals. Thank you all for always pushing me to the next level. Joining GISFW was the best thing I could have done for myself. - Emily Pereira Get in Shape for Women is a great fit for me as I love
I have lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks. Get In Shape For Women has been a great fit for me, as I love the accountability. It is helpful for me to weigh in at the begining of the week, as it in my mind through out the weekend. The trainers are motivational without being pushy. I look forward to the protein shake after my workout. - Jodey Swee I lost 17 lbs in 8 weeks!
Right before joining Get In Shape For Women I could see that my nutrition habits were getting out of control. I was wasting a little time driving around and came across Get In Shape For Women. I am so glad I stopped that day. The team keeps me on track by supporting me on both nutrition and instruction during the hour of training. I really enjoy the small setting and the support I receive from the team! accountability is the key! I would recommend Get In Shape For Women to anyone ready to transform. - Gail Reagor After 3 months, my cholesterol level
My doctor gave me two choices to reduce my cholesterol: either exercise and eat better or start taking prescription medication. I joined GISFW and began to eat healthy. After 3 months, my cholesterol level was down to 160 from a high of 220. This was 2 years ago. As an added benefit, I lost 27 lbs and 4 dress sizes. I run 5K races with my family. We even ran a 5 mile race this year. At GISFW, I've made new friends who've inspired me with their success stories. If that's not enough, my trainers are always there to push me to do my best. I look forward to the challenge everyday... - Wei-Lee I am in my 3rd year with GISFW having lost 60 pounds,
I am in my 3rd year with GISFW having lost 60 pounds, going from a size 22 to a size 10. I’ve been able to maintain my weight incorporating everything I’ve learned, as well as continue to tone and shape my body. I still look forward to each and every session with the trainers and other women in the group. The trainers will change up weekly workouts so your body doesn’t get complaisant with any routine so you continue to lose. Joining GISFW is the best choice I’ve made. - Sally LeDuke The consistency of this program has held me
I’ve been a member of GISFW since April 2009. The consistency of this program has held me accountable for my health and well-being. The training staff offers a great support system which has helped me tremendously! I could not have been successful without them! - Linda Britko At Get In Shape For Women I got the help I needed
Before joining Get In Shape For Women I had not worked out in over 30 years. I've had arthritis since I was 16 and always used this as the excuse for not working out. So when I finally made the decision that I was joining a gym, I knew I would need help and couldn't afford a personal trainer. At Get In Shape For Women I got the help I needed with both weight training and nutrition. I've always prided myself on being a person who ate a rather healthy diet. But over the years I would still gain weight and have to struggle to lose it and this was getting harder and harder to do in the last 10 years. At Get In Shape For Women I learned that it's not only what you eat but when and in what combination. They taught me how to balance the right amount of Carbs and Protein to help lose weight and keep it off. This worked so well that 2 months after joining I went on a Cruise with my husband and was still able to lose 3lbs. that week. At Get In Shape For Women the trainers and the women you work out with make the work outs FUN not boring or tedious. It’s great to be able to work out with people who are friendly and encouraging. You realize you are all there for the same reason... to Get In Shape. With your success, and the success and encouragement of others at Get In Shape For Women you’ll want to keep coming back to achieve even more. The only down fall to my joining Get In Shape For Women is that my husband says I now have too much energy and he can’t keep up with me. I say to bad. I am a Nanny for 2 adorable kids, ages 2 and 5 years old and I don’t think I could keep up with them without coming here. Thanks to the trainers and the encouragement from the other women at Get In Shape For Women I hope to have too much energy for quite some time. - Cheryl Rivenburg Between the trainers and the nutrition counseling
Between the trainers and the nutrition counseling my life has transformed in ways I was only dreaming about until I finally came to GISFW. I am in the best shape of my life and getting happier and healthier with each workout! - Lori Pilla My weight loss of 20 lbs hasn’t been fast or easy.
My weight loss of 20 lbs hasn’t been fast or easy. I’ve been a member of GISFW for 2 years and owe my success to consistency. With the help of very patient and supportive trainers, I’ve been able to stick with the program despite setbacks along the way. - Sue Ravalese So far I have lost 31 lbs. and a total of 11 inches.
I was uncomfortable, unhappy, and more importantly unhealthy. I had gained 50 lbs between the age of 48 and 51. My eating habits were out of control and I had no form of exercise. I knew it was time to make a lifestyle change. I had tried diet meetings, boxed foods and inexpensive gym memberships. I wanted a program that “held my hand” with both diet and exercise. I visited Get In Shape for Women to better understand their approach to nutrition and exercise. I met a devoted and caring staff. I took advantage of the week trial period and felt confident the program could get me to my goal. I wanted to lose the 50 lbs that was slowing me down. I joined in March 2011. The on- line nutrition planner keeps you on track with your calorie count. We weigh in weekly and if you are not happy with the results, you sit down and talk about a new food strategy. What didn’t work? New information is posted weekly to give you nutrition ideas and members gather around the board to share what works for them. Three days a week for one hour we weight train and do cardio. The trainers take all the guessing out of the workout. Exercising in small groups of four with a trainer is ideal. They give you encouragement, check form and make sure you know what you are doing next. The exercises and cardio programs vary from week to week so it stays interesting. An added bonus, you meet 3 new friends that are also working towards the same goal. Results? So far I have lost 31 lbs. and a total of 11 inches. I make the right food choices and exercise daily. I have become stronger and my energy level is great. I will achieve my goal before January 2012 with the support of ny trainers. For once, I will start a New Year feeling great and looking good! I will continue to stay with GISFW after I reach my goal. With this much success, I am not about to let go of their hand—. - Darlene Parseghian Not only did I drop pounds but I gained confidence.
Being self employed and working from home I fell into a rut with my workouts and eventually got away from them all together. A membership to a local gym fell by the wayside because I just never got there. I needed a good jolt of accountability and motivation. I found Get In Shape For Women. Having a specific time I had to show up provided the accountability I needed. I love the fact I can get my weight training and cardio done in under an hour. My personal trainer is always mixing up the workouts so I don’t get bored. And, I love that I don’t have to count reps or fill out charts. I learned about properly balanced nutrition, how to keep my metabolism charged and that I wasn’t eating enough! I loved it when they told me that. The bottom line is I saw results and quickly. I’ve lost the weight and kept it off. Not only did I drop pounds but I gained confidence. I highly recommend Get In Shape For Women if you want a program that is simple, fun and gets results. - Pam Pearson I’ve lost about 35 pounds and know how to eat healthy and live a healthier lifestyle.
Before I started at Get In Shape For Women I was out of shape and didn’t know much about nutrition. Now I’ve lost about 35 pounds and know how to eat healthy and live a healthier lifestyle. Before I went to Get In Shape I went to a regular gym and didn’t have much success. I love the trainers at my local Get In Shape. They taught me so many different exercises and gave me the encouragement I needed to be successful and lose weight. Get In Shape For Women really changed my life! - Kayla Juppe Wake up call
The end of May, I saw an ad in the paper for Get In Shape For Women. The following day a post card arrived (is there a message here?) Becoming a member of Get In Shape was my new commitment to myself. To get healthy, active and be motivated. For too long I had declared open season on the world of carbohydrates. Being an overeater had plagued me throughout my life. Now I get weighed ever Friday and my deal with the trainer was not to be told ‘the numbers’. One particular Friday, I mustered up the courage, dropped the denial and said “Give me the news” I was not prepared to hear 196.2, the highest I had ever been! That’s the bad news. The good news is that since that “May day,” I’ve been seeing steady improvements each time I get on the scale. I look better, I have energy to burn, thanks in part to the quintessential trainer. In short, I live a better life. Last week I had an appointment with my cardiologist. He was delighted when he saw the transformation over recent months. The scale in the exam room gave me a wink and a nod: 156 pounds. I couldn’t write this without saying what an unexpected delight this has been. It’s fun group, staff and members alike! - Terri Kemp I recently returned a catalog-ordered dress for a smaller size
Technically, I‘m a retired senior. Phooey on that! I’ve got “travelin’ shoes”, places to see and people to meet. The outstanding staff at Get In Shape for Women is keeping my health and enthusiasm up with every muscle group humming and the pounds and inches slip sliding away. In fact, I recently returned a catalog-ordered dress for a smaller size—how about that! Join us. - Penny Buckley So far I have lost a total of 15lbs and counting!
I was trying to lose weight on my own without much success, I was getting nowhere. I joined GISFW a few months ago. It has been a rewarding and positive experience for me. At times it was tough keeping up with the pace and I was ready to give up, but thanks to the staff’s continuous commitment and motivation I got through it. I learned that with nutrition portion control was a key in helping me lose weight properly and help keep it off. I started losing weight, toning up the most importantly; I started to feel good about myself. So far I have lost a total of 15lbs and counting! Joining GISFW was definitely a step in the right direction. Thanks GIFSW! - Juliette LaBlanc After 6 months I had lost the fat around my middle
Several months ago, I knew I was overweight and that the fat around my middle was not healthy. I’d been walking and exercising with CDs at home but had not managed to change my body for the better. By chance I walked into an Open House at the local In Shape for Women and that’s where I found my motivation to exercise more and to get rid of the fat. The trainers here are energetic and fun but, more importantly, they are consistent and firm. They encouraged me to work harder than I’d ever done on my own at home. The program is well balanced and safe. After 6 months I had lost the fat around my middle and improved the overall shape of my body. Now I feel energized! I look forward to each session for the camaraderie as well as the health benefits. - Evelyn McKay Since joining Get In Shape for Women I have lost over 20lbs and several inches.
Since joining Get In Shape for Women I have lost over 20lbs and several inches. Working with a personal trainer certainly makes a difference with proper use of machines and weight training it has been a great experience. I want to thank the trainers for their help and encouragement. - Alice Jordan Joining Get in Shape for Women has been one of the best decisions of my life.
I spent several years focusing on my education and career while neglecting my health. Over time my weight had gone up along with my blood pressure and, with my family history, my doctor warned that diabetes wasn’t far behind. Today, my weight is down along with my blood pressure, I have more energy and stamina than I’ve had in years and my doctor is thrilled with the results. Joining Get in Shape for Women has been one of the best decisions of my life. The small group setting allows the trainers to tailor the workout to fit any fitness level. All the trainers are fabulous, offering encouragement and support, along with nutrition guidance and counseling. It’s the whole package and I look forward to continuing on the journey. - Anne Layton I have now lost 30 lbs and joined for another six months.
Before joining Get In Shape For Women in late August, I was never motivated to stay with an exercise program. Accountability was the first important step which included scheduling three one hour workouts weekly, along with nutrition consultations. Working with a knowledgeable trainer was invaluable. Having someone right beside me to help and encourage me made all the difference. With workouts changing weekly, my trainers easily kept me motivated. Their enthusiasm and encouragement proved they were invested in my personal success. I set a six month goal to lose twenty pounds which I reached in twelve weeks, more importantly my B.M.I decreases by 12%. I have now lost 30 lbs and joined for another six months. GISFW has become my “stress free zone.” I could not have done this without the professional and caring staff. It was the best decision to do something just for myself. Special thanks to my daughters for wanting a healthy mom! - Margaret Shea In just 12 weeks, I have already lost 21.4 pounds
I was so frustrated with my body figure and desperate with my heavy weight, when a GISFW flier knocks on my door. I’ve tried dieting and exercise before but got no results. When I joined GISFW, I found it the perfect place for a desperate, heavy woman to change. The trainers are motivating and encouraging, and they’re so friendly. The owner-manager is so involved with my progress, and the crew always cheers and celebrates your results. Because of GISFW, in just 12 weeks, I have already lost 21.4 pounds. I’m down to a size 4 from a size 12, and I feel so light and proud of my body. Success in weight loss is a team effort. You need people to encourage and support you, as well as a determined spirit and willingness to make sacrifices. The nutrition plan at GISFW guides you to form healthy eating habits. I highly recommend this program. It makes you fulfill your dreams and achieve your ideal body figure. - Aileen Valderrama I have lost over 20 pounds, lost almost 20 inches
I have fought my entire life to reach a weight where I can be healthy and at the same time be happy with how I look. I have tried diets that claim you will loose weight quickly and workout routines that claim you will look like a model overnight. I found myself frustrated with unrealistic goals and unrealized expectations until I finally decided to try a program that made sense. Get In Shape for Women consists of a combination of workout, diet and lifestyle changes that when put together, create the prospect of weight loss as a permanent life option. Jody and Cassandra, (my trainers), as well as my workout partners, have created an environment that has stimulated not just weight loss, but also the development of a healthier lifestyle where I can see myself in a positive way while achieving realistic goals. I feel successful when I reach short-term goals, I feel great physically every day, and at the same time I am having fun with it! I feel constantly challenged, but in a positive way. So now, at 51 years old, I have lost over 20 pounds, lost almost 20 inches and over 5% body fat and I am enthusiastically proceeding towards my goal! Thank you Get In Shape for Women!!! - Deborah Caola Get In Shape For Women has helped me to get physically fit,
While I used to exercise fairly regularly, I would find myself skipping workouts from time to time (sometimes for weeks in a row). With the help from Get In Shape For Women, I've made 3 important lifestyle changes. The first is to make exercise a priority even when life gets hectic. The second is the addition of weight training to my exercise regimen. And the third is to eat smaller portions and more frequent meals throughout the day. Get In Shape For Women has helped me to get physically fit, lose 15 pounds, and lose 15 1/2 inches (7.5 inches from my waist alone!) - Girija Verma I’ve lost over 50 pounds and know that
I joined GISFW over a year ago after trying many different diets and weight loss programs. The staff at GISFW Natick gave me the knowledge, support and encouragement to finally realize my weight loss goals! I’ve lost over 50 pounds and know that I have been given the tools to keep it off for good! Thank you GISFW for helping me change my life! - Terri Smith I've lost 15 pounds and 8 1/2" and I feel great!
I joined Get In Shape For Women because I was having trouble losing weight despite the fact that I was doing cardio three times a week and eating healthy. I figured it couldn't hurt to switch up my routine a little. GISFW helped me tailor my workouts to incorporate weight training and adjust the portions of good food that I was already eating. I was so surprised by the facility's high level of knowledge and how dedicated they were to making sure I had enough support to meet my goals. I've lost 15 pounds and 8 1/2" and I feel great! They really know what they're talking about and if you follow what they say and come in for all the workouts, you too will see fantastic results! I highly recommend GISFW to anyone who has been struggling with their weight and needs a good boost to get back into shape. - Hiva Shafa I have lost 5% BF, 15 inches, and 10 lbs.
Ihe best investment I have made was not in money but in my health and well being! I have lost 5% BF, 15 inches, and 10 lbs. I feel GREAT! - Evelyn Danforth I've dropped 4 dress sizes in less than a year.
I've tried many diets with little or no success but this program really works and I've dropped 4 dress sizes in less than a year. My transformation has become possible thru proper nutrition, exercise, and accountability monitored by excellent personal trainers. GISFW has become a permanent part of my life. - Diane Young 30 pounds later, I have dropped from a size 12 to a size 6.
GISFW is the best! Although I have always worked out I needed a jumpstart to get in shape, lose weight and most importantly, get healthy. I needed to lower my cholesterol, triglycerides and prevent further bone loss. I committed to the full year because I was serious and wanted to look and feel healthy. My trainers brought me to a new level. 30 pounds later, I have dropped from a size 12 to a size 6. I love having a place to work out that has a sense of community and a kick when I need it and cheering when I need that. No more working out alone and bored. I am starting now to go to the next level and I am confident the new trainers will get me there. LOVE GISFW!!!!!!!!!! - Barbara Bigelow I have been a member for 9 1/2 months and have lost 87 pounds.
I have tried all of the diets out there for the last 25 years. I also joined various gyms and health clubs, but for some reason or other I would go for a while then quit. I had seen the before and after pictures from clients of Get In Shape For Women in the local newspaper. Then I saw there was one opening soon near me, I couldn't wait. This time was going to be different because I had appointments and couldn't just drive by and make up an excuse in my head why I couldn't go. I have the support of the trainers and the studio manager. They all really care about me succeeding with my goals. They make working out enjoyable and have created a great team atmosphere. After losing 22 pounds in the first 6 weeks, I did not look back. I have been a member for 9 1/2 months and have lost 87 pounds. When people ask how I lost all the weight, they can't believe it when I say I joined Get In Shape For Women and work out for 1 hour 3 days a week and eat sensibly. It is well worth the effort. I wish I had found GISFW 20 years ago! - Jennifer Passos I have lost a total 80 pounds and am working on my maintenance program.
Since I have been with GISFW, my life has changed dramatically! I have been struggling with my weight for a very long time and NOTHING worked. Luckily, I found a place where I could focus on my goals in a safe envirnment and my trainers have been nothing but motivating and enthusiastic through the whole process! I wouldn't have been able to do it without them. I have lost a total 80 pounds and am working on my maintenance program. I can't say enough about this program and I will refer many friends who inquire about my progress. Thank you for opening such a wonderful program! - Paula Hartnett I used to dread exercise but now it's the best part of my day.
I've only been working out for a few weeks, but I already see my body changing and my confidence has grown by leaps and bounds. The accountability has helped me be consistent with a food and exercise plan for the first time in my life. And the expertise and support from my trainers has been invaluable. I feel that they are all invested in my personal success. I used to dread exercise, but now it's the best part of my day. I couldn't have made a more sound investment than when I signed on with Get in Shape For Women. It's changed my life. - Christy Betit Nutrition along with workouts is my key to weight loss
Before I came to Get In Shape For Women, I never paid attention to nutrition. But now, nutrition along with workouts is my key to weight loss. I thank get in shape for women for their guidance! - Rufina Britto I am completely hooked and very happy with the results!!
I have always found it difficult to be self-motivated when it came to my exercise routine. I spend full days at my desk, working through my lunch hour and find little energy to do anything else by day’s end. I heard about Get In Shape For Women and I’m so glad I was interested enough to see what it was all about. I was soon on my way to a life changing experience and have never looked back. The personal trainers at GISFW are extremely professional and helpful to me. They treat me with individual care and make me feel special, I never thought I would be so dedicated to my routine but I truly am and I owe it all to my friends at GISFW. My three-days-a-week workouts have truly transformed my way of thinking about my physical health and well being and have made such an impact on me mentally as well as physically. I am completely hooked and very happy with the results!! It keeps me going and makes me look forward to my next workout session. - Maria Maceri I have lost 3 pant sizes!
I was so afraid when I walked into Get In Shape For Women. At the time, I could barely speak, due to recently suffering a stroke. I really did not know what to expect, even though a friend of mine had told me how much she enjoyed the program. I felt comfortable almost immediately. The staff was friendly and helpful and the other members were equally supportive. I knew I had a long road ahead of me, but felt that this was the place for me. Now, over 6 months later, I feel great! My expectations when I joined was to alleviate the pain I was in. soon I realized, in addition to feeling better, I was losing weight (10lbs) and body fat (8%). I have lost 3 pant sizes! The trainers push and motivate me to challenge myself. The program has been a wonderful experience. - Leeann Palladino I've lost 20 pounds in less than two months.
As a stay at home mom with two young children, I felt I didn't have the time or energy to exercise and eat better. However, once I joined Get In Shape For Women, all my excuses disappeared. Set appointment times kept me committed to exercising regularly- each workout was always different from the last and I looked forward to new challenges. Following the diet and keeping track of what I ate helped me make better meal and snack choices. And having my weight loss recorded with each weigh in kept me on track and motivated me to stick to the program. Every aspect of the program has helped me get in better shape faster than I thought possible- I've lost 20 pounds in less than two months. I feel great! - Adrianne Simeone In 12 weeks I’ve lost 20 lbs & 7% body fat.
Due to the strength training, cardio, nutrition & accountability in 12 weeks I’ve lost 20 lbs & 7% body fat. I went from a size 10 to a size 4. My clothes fit comfortably & I feel good about my body. Not only did Get In Shape help restore my confidence I am stronger & have the energy to keep up with my 4 yr old son. Going to Get In Shape is one of my favorite parts of the day because my trainers push & encourage me to reach my goals. The workout is never the same so I don’t get bored. My health has improved due to exercise & the nutrition counseling I have received. I’ve learned what & how to eat in order to reach & maintain my healthy weight. - Jennifer Ortiz I have lost 24 lbs since July and I feel great.
I have lost 24 lbs since July and I feel great. I feel better than I have in a long time. I have more energy, more stamina and I am not always so tired. I have gone down 2 sizes and just put on a pair of jeans that I have not been able to fit into for at least 2 years. What a tremendous feeling. I have a few more pounds to go before I meet my goal but I know now that I can keep going and I will be able to not only meet my goal but will exceed my goal and then there is no looking back. I couldn’t have accomplished this without the help of everyone here at GISFW. - Tammy Thomas I lost 15 lbs since starting and recommend the gym to all my friends.
Get In Shape For Women has been an amazing experience for me. I tried other gyms but never seemed to have the motivation to be consistent and to make sure to lift weights. So when I would go, it was just cardio. GISFW kept me accountable and incorporated weight training. I lost 15 lbs since starting and recommend the gym to all my friends. - Naseem A Lost 24 lbs., 15 inches, and 10% body fat in 6 months.

As I watched my weight increase slowly over the years, I knew I had to do something. But despite my best efforts of dieting and working out, I was unable to lose the weight on my own. I stopped in at the local Get In Shape for Woman and was really impressed with their plan which included proper Nutrition, Personalized training, Cardio and Accountability. Their program was exactly what I needed. I found that with each workout the trainer was focused on my needs and ability and pushed me to keep going. I learned a lot about nutrition and the types of foods and the amount of food that I should be eating. The staff at GISFW was fantastic. They were knowledgeable and motivating during the entire process. My goals became their goals. I now look forward to going to the gym and I am very proud of my accomplishments. I have much more energy now and feel better than I have in years. I am very grateful to GISFW for everything that they have helped me to do. All this time I was looking for a diet to help me to lose weight but GISFW showed me that what I really needed was a lifestyle change of healthy eating and exercise. - Deb Mandel I was able to lose 25 lbs in about 5 months
I initially joined Get In Shape to do weight training to maintain bone density but I also knew I needed to lose weight. Personal attention makes all the difference. The trainers make sure I’m using the correct weight and form. Not counting reps! Plus they change up the exercises from time to time so it doesn’t get boring. The last thing I wanted was another diet. The nutrition plan provides lots of options, I learned of healthy foods I could eat for snacks plus was still able to eat many of my favorite foods with only slight modifications. I was able to lose 25 lbs in about 5 months (between Nov-March) AND I’ve not only kept the weight off over the summer I’ve even lost a few more lbs. I’ve gone from a tight size 16 to a size 12 in my dress pants. I recently went out and bought myself skinny jeans! - Susan Stuhr I lost 30 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size 4.
I am a 42 yr old working mother of 10 yr old twins, and I finally decided it was time to lose the 20+ pounds that I had not yet lost since being pregnant 10+ yrs ago. Get In Shape For Women not only helped me reach my goal, but exceeded it. I lost 30 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size 4. I have not felt and looked better since my mid 20s. Thanks Get In Shape! - Jennifer Picciano I’ve lost 30 lbs and 8 inches off my waist!
So far I’ve lost 30 lbs and 8 inches off my waist! Get In Shape For Women’s nutrition plan is so smart, I will happily and healthily eat this way for the rest of my life. I’ve never been to a gym before, but the qualified trainers in a friendly, small group setting helped me to get strong enough to really enjoy hiking and skiing with my family. Perhaps most exciting for me is that I sing better! Get In Shape For Women has been life-changing for me and I will keep working out! - Alice Clark I’ve lost 30 pounds in 5 months!
Over the past years, I’ve tried numerous diets and programs with little or no success. After receiving several post cards in the mail from Get In Shape For Women, I decided to give it a try. Much to my surprise and delight, something clicked! The combination of exercise and nutrition (notice I didn’t say diet) made a difference. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 5 months and couldn’t be happier, healthier and more energetic. The instruction and support I’ve received from the trainers, as well as the encouragement of other clients, has been phenomenal. I look forward to coming to each session. It has been a learning experience and a rewarding one. I’ve learned a new lifestyle and plan to continue with it. Joining Get In Shape For Women has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. - Suzanne Zivkovich Lost over 18 lbs and 7% body fat in just 2 months!

When I joined GISFW in February of 2011 wearing a size 18, my goals were simple: to lose some weight and gain some strength. By following the nutrition advice, being consistent with my 3 days/week workouts and being honest with myself, I am beyond thrilled to be fitting into a size 6 after 8 months! Not only were my simple goals blown away, but my confidence is at an all time high. I am so glad that I attended that Open House back in January. Thank you for helping me GISFW!! - Lisa Hemeon Lost 13 lbs + 5% body fat.
Feeling fit and fabulous. Lost 13 lbs + 5% body fat. So glad “Get In Shape” exercise and staff became part of my life. - Kathy Calta I lost 19 lbs, my BMI is down from an obesity level
Each week in the summer, I would read an advertisement for Get In Shape For Women in our local newspaper but that was far as it went. I had many health issues with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, swollen ankles and a bad knee. Yikes! I was a physical wreck. I was curious to see if personal training would help my body image and improve my frame of mind. The summer came and went and I finally joined on August 31. This was the best day I had in a few years and the beginning of a wonderful journey towards a new healthier me. The spring in my step, twinkle in my eye and a positive attitude were back! I owe my gratitude to the trainers at GISFW for my transformation and making new strides to meet attainable goals each week. The groups are small 4 to 1 and each exercise program is tailored to meet individual needs. Great concept! Exercising was not on my priority list but each trainer with their excellent exercise expertise, helpful hands and warm smiles makes me want to do my best. I've been with GISFW for 4 months. I lost 19 lbs, my BMI is down from an obesity level and I lost major body fat. With a special diet, exercise & cardio workouts, I feel much better with more energy. The instructors as well as the women I exercise with are like my extended family. We talk, laugh, motivate, encourage self esteem, strengthen muscle, drink protein shakes as we work together to improve our goals. To be honest, I'm in my 60's and it wasn't easy loosing weight. It came off very slowly and many times I wanted to give up. As you get older your metabolism slows down which adds to frustration but with excellent training, support of my family and the super ladies @ the gym I didn't quit. Loosing weight wasn't a breeze. But with diet, exercise, sweat, dedication and accountability I did it! I am happy to be with women at GISFW all with a common dream to live a healthier lifestyle. - Beverly De La Bruyere I have lost over 30 pounds
When I began my membership at GISFW - Wilmington in May 2011, I quickly realized that it would be a true team effort that would keep me on the right path toward self-improvement. It was a tremendous lift to know that I always have the expertise and encouragement of personal trainers and nutrition specialists that are more than willing to go the extra mile for you. Though I may not have an ultimate goal weight in mind, I am well on my way toward becoming a healthier and happier 62 year old! I am pleased to note that I have lost over 30 pounds, and was even named ‘Client Of The Month’ for September (yea, me!). Do not put it off as long as I did before you take that first step to a healthier lifestyle! - Noreen Quill In just ten weeks I’ve lost 15 pounds and 9 inches
Everyone joins a gym for a different reason and mine was to get healthy. A year ago, I tore my Achilles tendon and after a very long recovery, I was in the worst shape of my life. I was nervous about exercising again and I didn’t know if I could do it on my own. I saw an advertisement for Get In Shape For Women and decided to check it out. I was so intrigued that I joined the next day. From the very beginning I was impresses with the staff. They worked very well with my personal needs and had an answer for all my nutritional questions. I liked the fact that everyone there could relate to each other. Even though my journey is not complete, in just ten weeks I’ve lost 15 pounds and 9 inches. The best part is that I have a lot more energy and feel much stronger. Can’t wait for the rest of my journey with Get In Shape For Women! - Tanya Guild I have lost over 50 pounds so far.
In my late 40’s, I gave up struggling to keep my weight down—I was tired of losing 10 to 20 lbs. to only gain that weight back plus many extra pounds, so I gave up trying to lose. At age 62, I had become very overweight. With the extra weight, my ability to walk, climb stairs, and carry heavy objects was impaired as I would lose my breath and become tired. After seeing many, many GISFW ads of before and after pictures of other women who had been successful, I dreamed it would work for me, also. I joined Get In Shape for Women because I knew it was time to get control of my body weight and improve my health and physical mobility. GISFW helped me reach my goals. Making the commitment to diet and exercise on a weekly basis was just what I needed. The support and encouragement of the team at GISFW kept me motivated. I have lost over 50 pounds so far. And my flexibility and body strength have definitely improved. At the time I joined GISFW, I just learned that I had developed two bone spurs under a knee cap, which might eventually lead to a knee replacement. But the strength training has improved this condition. I have not experienced severe pain in this knee since after the first or second month of training. But I also needed to improve my physical well being and overall mobility. - Nancy Blasche I would recommend GISFW to anyone who wants or needs a
What impressed me most at the start was the assurance that all exercise sessions would be under the direction of a professional trainer and that all groups would be limited to 4 participants. What I have found as a member is that, beyond this, all sessions are held in a very efficient yet comfortable atmosphere directed by expertly competent staff who document, monitor and direct all activities. Equal attention is given to all participants throughout the weight training sessions. Four women may be working out at once, each at her own level, but each under the careful supervision of a trainer who ensures that every exercise is done correctly, safely and with one's individual progress in mind. I would recommend GISFW to anyone who wants or needs a uniquely tailored guided tour to a strong and healthy lifestyle. - Bette Lehman I have lost 30 pounds since the end of July
I have lost 30 pounds since the end of July, feel great, lots of energy. I feel in control of my food, choices and exercise. I'm sleeping better, can do much more physically. My blood pressure is normal again after many years of being high. My cholesterol and sugar are within normal count. Everyone is so helpful at GISFW, supportive, friendly, encouraging and so knowledgeable. - Terri St Onge
