Member Testimonials
I have found the personal training invaluable. I have learned a great deal about my muscle system. I have also been continuously challenged to improve what seems like every muscle in my body. Scott makes sure I work on both cardio and strength every workout. I have commented to Scott on several occasions that there are times during my workout that I am exhausted and challenged to the limit…but I have never completed a workout, cooled down and walked out to my car without feeling fantastic. That is what keeps me coming back even on training mornings when I am feeling sluggish. Today, I stand up much straighter, have more energy and am actually much stronger than I have been in years. Susan (Member since 2007) I did lose the weight I wanted ... (more would have been nicer, but I am still working on that!). I just feel better about myself, both mentally and physically. I am firming up in some places and need to keep working on others. I found that the classes seem to vary things up a bit as reluctant as I was to try any of them at first. I must say my husband is very proud that I have been keeping it up. He had his doubts when I first started! Joan (Member since 2007) I was tired of seeing more inches going to my waist and was becoming too winded doing simple project around the house. Additionally, I was a "Baby Boomer Couch Potato" and wanted to make a change in how I looked and felt. Lifestyle was also close to home, which permitted easy access in the early mornings and weekends. From the first year of using the gym, I have already lost over 30 pounds and have come to the realization that in order to maintain my current conditioning as well as setting a short term goal of taking off at least one more inch from my waist, this type of structure is something that I will have to do for the rest of my life because it is hard to find any other way to increase my worn out metabolism. Gary (Member since 2007) My wife joined and said I needed to get into better shape if I was going to keep up with her. I liked the Lifestyle facility layout and atmosphere compared to other more impersonal facilities. My clothes fit better and I feel better. I have more energy and feel more alert. John (Member since 2007) The workout atmosphere at Lifestyle makes one want to succeed. It is what a fitness facility should be. I look forward to working out – I do not consider it something I have to do. Lifestyle makes me want to do it. One thing Ken said was that you have to do different things to make the body work at its best. You cannot do the same thing all the time and expect results. I have been there, done that. Figured now was the time to try it his way. Could not believe the difference. How right he is. One result I have seen is my clothes fitting better. I actually like taking something out of the closet that I have not worn for a while because it did not fit – to find it is now big on me. That alone helps motivate me to continue. My flexibility and stamina has greatly improved in the few short months I have been working out at Lifestyle. I am an avid gardener and my muscles do not hurt like they used to. I have more agility dealing with the different garden levels I have in my yard. Recently I was in one of Ken’s classes and he had us do push-ups. After we were done I mentioned to Milli that this was the first time I actually did push-ups on my toes. I honestly felt I would always do the push-ups on my knees. Well, I guess anything can happen!! Ronnie (Member since 2008) Since doing the Everest Challenge, my clothes fit better and working in the yard is easier (lifting mulch and planting). I have more energy and it has helped me deal with stress. Linda (Member since 2006) I feel better, and things that I used to avoid (like running up the stairs instead of walking) seem so much easier now. My husband likes the fact that I can actually lift and help move furniture now where I couldn’t before. (Guys and their compliments, right?) I don’t weigh myself routinely because I tend to get discouraged, but my clothes are fitting much better, so I know things are happening. I tend to reach for a piece of fruit now instead of a cookie for a snack because I know I’ll have to stay longer on the treadmill to get rid of those extra calories! YIKES! So there you have it. Lifestyle Fitness. No spandex. Just fun. So what’s not to like? Beth (Member since 2007) I can now run 5 miles in less than 45 minutes. I have lost a couple of pounds, but more importantly, I have converted a significant amount of my body mass from fat to muscle. Bill (Member since 2005) I joined because my trainer was training her clients here. When I toured the facility and saw the people who were working at Lifestyle, I knew that the facility was going to be top notch because of the fitness ethic I knew the staff and owners have. I have seen and experienced first hand the attentiveness the people at Lifestyle show their members. The biggest difference and greatest result that I have noticed since joining Lifestyle is the shape of my body. My entire shape has changed. I didn’t really pay much attention when I was told how the weight machines at Lifestyle were designed to work but when things started coming together for me I knew it was because of the great training I was getting and those machines at the gym. Stevie (Member since 2005) Although not a goal, I have lost several pounds. I feel stronger physically and my friends have noticed a difference! Jane (Member since 2007) The top draws for me were the hours of operation (so I could come early) and the cost. I actually lost nearly 25 pounds while increasing strength and endurance. I had my best year ever at fantasy baseball camp with the Chicago White Sox and my recovery has been MUCH easier. My enjoyment, commitment and consistency of workouts have all improved. In the past (on my own) I would go through workout "phases" for a few months at a time. Scott, Ken and my new workout buddies now keep me coming very consistently each week. I appreciate learning new exercises and simple instructions to vary my workout to continue to see results. Tom (Member since 2007) Over the last few months I have seen a dramatic change in my body shape, going from a dress size 16 to a dress size 10 which has required a number of visits to the local alterations’ shop with the majority of my clothes. I never thought I would be this size again. Lesley (Member since 2007) I met Scott at Church and felt that he was a sincere man – so I decided to see what type of operation he ran. After visiting the facility and meeting the staff I realized that this was a place I could start the process to wellness, as it involves more than just mirrors and weights – to change your life you need to change those conditions and/or situations that are stumbling blocks to a healthy attitude. Lifestyle Fitness provides the necessary atmosphere to feel connected to an individual program of health awareness. In other words, I enjoy going and working out! I have lost some 40 pounds, 3 inches in the waist, and 50 pounds of body fat Pete (Member since 2006) I was drawn to Lifestyle Fitness because of the smaller size, the friendliness of the staff and members, the fees are in line for the gyms we looked at, and it is close to my home. Kay (Member since 2006) I do not have a specific goal that I am working towards, but do want to continue increasing intensity and strength. Even on the mornings that I drag myself out of bed, I always feel better afterwards and am glad I made the effort to show up. There are not many people working out at 5:30 am, but it is nice to see the other early morning regulars and it helps feel like I am part of a group doing this together. Bob (Member since 2005) |
