I joined Fit 4 Life Women’s gym just over a year ago with the goal of maintaining an exercise program throughout the winter months. I had never been a member of a gym and found that I liked the size and atmosphere of the smaller Women’s gym.

The staff was extremely helpful in providing me with training on all the equipment as well as putting together structured programs. It was, and still is, a good feeling to be able to walk in the gym and have a plan in place as to what I am going to accomplish on any given day.

I would definitely recommend the Women’s gym to anyone who is thinking about starting a program for these very reasons.

I joined the Women’s Gym in June of 2017. My goal was to find an exercise program that would work for me. I have fibromyalgia and can’t do a lot of high impact exercises. Ann was awesome in finding me a perfect routine.

I Love the smaller gym—so personal and Ann is always willing to answer any questions I might have.

Without the Women’s Gym, I would not be as fit as I am. Thanks again for helping me have a more productive life.

I joined Fit4Life Women's Gym with the intention of gaining back strength in my left leg after a bad break and several surgeries. To help with my mobility in walking and to just improve my well being in general.

I love that the Women's Gym has the availability to fit my needs and with a great location. It's been awesome getting to know old and new members of this gym. To be able to relate with them and also learn new things.

It’s been a fantastic journey thus far. The Women’s Gym offers a great variety of options for workouts with Ann and Angela as wonderful trainers, who have assisted me in learning new programs to improve my workouts. I was so excited to be able to do the Walk/Run this summer, with actually completing it with no difficulties!

I am looking forward to continuing my workouts and finding new avenues to broaden my exercise routines.

1. What is your favorite result that you’ve experienced so far? My sugars! I have Diabetes. When I started working out with Angela I wanted to improve my health and remove the feeling my diagnosis caused me because I felt like I've left myself down. Working out has helped me tremendously! My sugar readings have improved so much and I feel so much better. I didn't know how bad I was physically feeling until I started feeling well. My other favorite thing: I love dancing and now I can dance more than one song!

2. Did you have any fears or apprehension before you started working with me? YES!!! The whole "gym" idea was scary. I didn't know how to use any machines, I had zero experience with the gym. I was a real beginner at 40, I was in really bad shape so I didn't know if I was going to be able to workout without hurting myself! Also, the women's gym atmosphere feels so comfortable, this helped me ease some of my fears.

3. How would you say this program is different than others you’ve tried? I was doing things like walking the dog, going outside to play with my kids, watch what I eat, etc but you can only do so much with that. Angela showed me how to use the machines, helped me figure out a program at my fitness level (which was ZERO) and then started increasing the level with time. The program is very easy to follow and she is always available if I have any questions about the machines, the equipment, the form, even nutrition!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my testimony. I have lost 7 pounds but to me the most important reason for exercise is the way I feel when I workout. My sugar is under control, I have energy, I eat what I want and don’t gain weight. My goal is to exercise 3 times a week and work with my diet so I can lose 20 pounds total. Thank you.

I am deeply humbled by this recognition in choosing to become a healthier happier me. Much has changed throughout this first year of my membership at the Women’s Gym.

With consistency and a passion that has grown for exercise, I’ve come to thrive more in my day-to-day routine on several levels. Amazing myself with building strength, overcoming obstacles of personal barriers exceeding my own expectations.

Within these walls there’s a helpful and kind community of people who have become to feel like family. There’s been generous support from the trainers teaching me how to safely and effectively utilize the equipment.

My heart is grateful also for the positive encouragement from family and friends with unwavering support.

I will strive to continue learning and strengthening; this journey has only begun for me. I only hope to inspire others to TRY and see where a journey similar with incorporating exercise into their lives can lead. Good vibes and positive thoughts!
