Dear Bob and Fitness Together staff,

What can I say to a group of true dedicated professionals who have touched my life, and the lives of so many? THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I truly can not express my gratitude enough for your encouragement, support, and guidance.

Dedication:

You are all so dedicated to your jobs. I love how you go above and beyond, by familiarizing yourselves with woman’s nutrition, as well as what exercises work best for women. This thoroughly impressed me, as most trainers I have had in the past focused mainly on upper body. Another thing which exemplifies dedication is attendance; I could not believe how some trainers drove all the way from out east during a SNOW STORM. If that is not a prime example of dedication, I don’t know what is. If I had to cancel a session, I was always thrilled that the staff was able to fit me in another day during the week so I would not miss my workout!!!!!!!

Encouragement and Support:

When I first started at Fitness Together I was a bride to be!! Most brides go into “shock mode”, when it sinks in that all eyes will be on them during their wedding day. You all encouraged, and inspired me to reach my goal weight. You pushed me when I did not think I had the ability to be pushed any more. When I wanted to quit, I was encouraged to go further!! This raised my confidence, and forced me to strive harder. It also taught me a valuable lesson, “Always give it your all”. Thank you for supporting me to reach my goal!!

Guidance:

Thank you all for always going that extra mile, to teach me the proper techniques and exercises to keep healthy. Furthermore, and most importantly, I have learned that exercise is only half of what is necessary. Nutrition is key to not only losing weight, but for my health. Before I used to eat huge portions, and often felt sluggish and unmotivated to exercise. Fitness Together gave me the nutritional tools necessary, to change my eating habits. Since then I have slept better, and had a great deal more energy.

Thank you all for always taking extra time to answer my questions, and give me the support I needed to not only lose weight, but change my lifestyle. The warmth, and kindness makes Fitness Together a welcoming environment.

Warmest Regards,

Lauren Dolinsky- Now Malkoff!! :}

Hi Coach Bob,

I just wanted to thank you for your coaching to help me achieve a life goal of running a marathon. Last Fall, I ran the Westchester Marathon, my first marathon ever. It seemed like such an unrealistic goal, but by working with you for 10 weeks, and following your plans, the goal became much clearer and easy to visualize.  When I crossed the finish line, it was a very emotional experience for me because I had achieved something that I had really wanted to do since high school.  Now, I look forward to working together to improve my marathon PR. Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Dear Bob,

I wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for all of their help in helping me become the new person I am today. From my first experience at the studio, till today, I have loved my workouts and the way my life has changed since we first met.

My goals coming on board were to tone up my body, increase my cardiovascular capabilities, and lose fat in my mid-section. I remember my first fitness evaluation and how scared I was of the results. I could hardly complete a push up. I had little if any flexibility and I was overweight. You told me to hang in there, do the work that was required and I would see the results. I did as you told me and I am extremely pleased.

I have never felt better both physically and mentally!!! I love the days that I am scheduled to come in for my workouts. They are always the highlight of my week.

Thank You!!!!!

Sincerely,

John Sohn

Dear Bob,

How do I express my gratitude to someone who has changed my life entirely? Before I came to Fitness Together I had not exercised in 10 years. Now I work out 6 times a week.

I had my first re-evaluation about 2 weeks ago and the results were astonishing. I lost inches everywhere!!!! Friends and family members can’t believe the difference. My energy level has increased tremendously and I feel great.

This is a complete lifestyle change for me and although I still have a lone road ahead, I have no doubt that my enthusiasm and dedication will continue thanks to the staff at Fitness Together.

Thank you for making me realize that it’s all worth it!!!!

Sincerely,

Jill Glass

When I first met Bob and Joe, I was 3 months away form my wedding day. I was extremely stressed as I wanted to look great for my big day. Both assured me that if I followed their program, the Fitness Together 17 week Body Transformation, I would get the results I was looking for. The program was easy to follow and by my wedding day I had lost 28 pounds and dropped 3 dress sizes. I was amazed by how the pounds just melted away. Fitness Together helped me look and feel my best on the most important day of my life. Many places promise the results….Fitness Together delivers!!!! It was well worth the time and investment. Thank you.

What good is spending all that money on a photographer if I won't want to even look at myself in pictures? That's the question that brought me to Fitness Together. It was taking me more than walking on a treadmill to get me into "walking down the aisle", wedding day shape! I knew I needed a little TLC with my workouts. All it took was one workout at Fitness Together, and I knew it was a perfect "fit". Every time I go to work out, I know the trainers have something special in store for me. No one workout is the same, which keeps me and my body guessing - and the workouts fun and effective! They know their stuff - and they have plenty of workout "toys" to keep it interesting. I've belonged to other personal training gyms where they stand over you while you're on a boring machine and they write in a chart, but this place is different and hands down THE BEST gym I've ever belonged to. I feel like I have a celebrity trainer when they get the boxing gloves out or get back to basics to get my heart pumping or do those upper body exercises that will make my strapless wedding gown look beautiful! As I wear my liweddings t-shirt and work out with my trainer in one of the Fitness Together private studios, I can see and feel the difference and I know it's the best wedding money I can spend to look absolutely gorgeous on my special day!

Dear Bob,

Just to let you know that I have done exercise programs before but was never confident that I was doing everything properly. Since I joined Fitness together I feel great and have more energy than I could have ever imagined. With my crazy schedule there was no way I could fit it in, but the staff at Fitness Together helped design an exercise program that specifically worked for me, helped me transform my body and lose the excuses. I need to be pushed, and the Fitness Together training staff does just that. Their guidance has kept me focused and motivated as I approach my fitness goals! Thank you!

Dear Bob,

Fitness Together has helped me transform my life physically and mentally. Before Fitness Together, I had joined other gyms and paid good money but never went, even though my intention was to lose all this weight. When I walked into Fitness Together, I had a great feeling about the gym that was different from any other gym I had belonged to in the past. The trainers are personally committed to helping you reach your goals and your success is their success which brings a smile and encouragement from them. The members are very friendly and encouraging.

The breaking point for me was when I turned 36 years old. I was the heaviest that I had ever been. I was engaged two years ago, it didn’t work and it was a very difficult time for me. I took comfort in food which led me to weighing 200 pounds the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. As a result, I felt a lack of energy. I would run out of breath walking up the steps of the subway with my friends. At this point I decided to join a gym because, it scared me that I’m so young and shouldn’t feel this way. I wanted a supportive atmosphere where I would feel comfortable working out. I found that in Fitness Together.

Things have changed for the better since I joined Fitness Together. Most noticeably, I have more energy. I can walk up the steps of the train station without losing my breath. To me that is a huge accomplishment. I can now do 30-45 minutes on the elliptical machine whereas when I started I was out of breath after 5 minutes. I’m also able to face each day with a more positive outlook. I never thought I could be inspired to wake up at 6:00 a.m. to work out. I feel like a new person because of the support that Fitness Together has given me in helping me to reach my goals.

Thank you,

Bobby,

Thanks so much! I was very happy with my time.....my goal was 2:30, so when I finished in 2:18 it was unreal!! I felt great & ran strong the whole time. I didn't stop for the bathroom at all & only for quick sips of water.

The miles just kept coming up & flying by so fast, each mile marker I hit, I couldn't believe I was there already...it was weird!! And when I realized how well I was doing, it made me run even harder. I finished 1 hour & 2 min ahead of my one friend and then my other friend ran the full marathon on Sun. She maintained my pace the whole way & finished @ 4:29:06...she was also ecstatic! You would love the Disney Marathon, you should totally do it...in fact, you should do the Goofy"....that's when you run the half on Sat & the whole on Sun! I will definitely be back again next year, MAYBE even for the whole marathon but definitely @ least for the half! Oh & by the way...it was 27 degrees in Fla. the day of my race! Also, the race started @ 6AM & we had to catch a shuttle by 4 AM which means we woke up @ 2:30!!!!! The biggest negative (other than the 6am start time) was that there were so many people moving so slow & I had to weave my way through the crowd. I just stayed all the way to the left & kept passing people.

Anyway, it was such a great experience & an awesome feeling of accomplishment, thank you so much for putting me on the right track, & giving me the confidence to do this thing right!!! Talk to ya soon!!

I am a very busy person who needs a motivated and efficient workout program that is easy to stick with. Fitness Together has helped me attain and retain positive results by creating just that type of program for me. I schedule regular appointments with my own personal trainer, who puts me through a tough workout, in my own private weight room, and IT'S FUN!!! I'm committed when I have those appointments and the best part is I look forward to them.

Patricia Logan, Account Executive

I’ve been meaning to thank you for a while now. Since the first day I walked into your office until now, I am a totally different person. I still have a long way to go but I realize it is only one step at a time. You have given me the inspiration, the support and have helped me have the courage that I needed in my life.
