Fitness Together
Reviews
I have nothing but positive things to say about Fitness Together! I have been going for 2 years now - through one pregnancy & after both of my children were born. FT and the awesome trainers have encouraged me to be a "strong Mom!" and pushed me further than I knew I could go. I look forward to the workouts and to catching up with all of the trainers. I know that they are supportive of my goals and they are working to help me achieve them.
This business is a gem and anyone who writes otherwise either has not been here at all or has not given it a fair try. I have been a client for many years and am continually impressed with the dedication and professionalism of the trainers. If you want rows and rows of gleaming new expensive machines go elsewhere. If you want people who understand how to work with the basics to get maximum results, this is the place. It is not inexpensive but it's not out of line with what training costs elsewhere, either. I figure I can spend my money on medications as health issues worsen or I can spend it on improving my physical and functional fitness and education. I choose the latter and I choose West Seattle Fitness Together. Don't believe negative reviews written by people you don't know. Don't even believe me. But do come see for yourself and decide.
Fitness Together West Seattle is not your typical personal training experience. It's even better! When you go to "the studio" or wherever it is you workout be it a gym, you want to feel comfortable and not intimidated. I have gone to many fitness gyms in my past and always felt like I was being stared at while exercising and have trainers and managers of these places snuff me off and not even say hello. I have even been bullied to buy personal training in these gyms. Not here though!!! At Fitness Together I am always greeted and asked how I am doing and feeling for that day. The staff makes me feel like they really care about me and my fitness goals. They even remember the names of my kids and my dog, that's how personal it is. I love the fact that I am one of 2 people working out, it's very private. You don't have to wait in line to use machines, it's mostly free weights and my favorite kettlebells, and nobodies staring at you while you workout! The facility is clean, clutter free, and overall kind of has a home-like feel to it. Fortunately I was able to choose a training package that fit in my budget, and wasn't pressured or bullied into purchasing anything if I didn't want to. Pricing is typical for one on one personal training. Honestly I made the best investment for my well being. As a client for over a year I can proudly say I lost more weight than planned and have been held accountable by taking advantage of the Fitness Together nutrition program. It's an easy way to keep track of all the food I eat and the staff helps me with ideas on better choices to make to fuel my body. I can also say that before I came to Fitness Together I didn't know how long to do my cardiovascular workouts for. They have a cardio board that gives you a range of incline and resistance for cardio workouts to do each week, and I'm not spending an hour on a treadmill doing them, who knew you could do as little as 15 minutes of hard work and still get results! Thanks FT WS for being supportive, caring, and spoiling me with all the greatness you have to offer!!! You helped me develop a passion for exercise and so I decided to study and become a Certified Personal Trainer.
I've been a client of Fitness Together since May and have had a truly wonderful experience. Sure I've lost weight but more importantly I've dropped body fat percentages a lot and feel incredibly healthy!! The trainers really know how to structure a workout around your goals and injuries. I was a college athlete and have some lingering pains that have bothered me for the past decade. Starting a new program was scary for me because I didn't want to get hurt again. I've found my fears were unfounded when you have such a knowledgeable and dedicated team on your side. I feel like an athlete again! A very big heartfelt thank you to the entire team I've worked with at Fitness Together (Duncan, Kelsey, Melissa, Bonnie, Carly, Louise). I can honestly say that you have changed my life!!
I can't thank West Seattle Fitness Together enough for everything they have done for me and helped me accomplish. I first joined Fitness Together to lose weight (under doctors orders) so I could qualify for total knee replacement (both knees). With a lot of hard work and the help from the Fitness Together training team we accomplished the goal and I had my knees replaced. The recovery took much longer than anticipated. Because of the long recovery period, and relative inactivity, I put some of my weight back on. Well, 17 months ago I was able to start back at Fitness Together. The training team modified some of the exercises to help with the new knees. The trainers also helped with nutritional advise. The net result from those 17 months is currently, 103 lbs weight loss, 58 inches lost, lower blood pressure, and in general..JUST FEELING GREAT ABOUT MYSELF. The training staff is great, very positive, very motivating, and very tough when needed. The one on one approach is fantastic , everything is geared to the individual...not a template approach. They have helped make this a lifestyle change. I want to thank Bonnie, Brenda, Carmen, Melissa, Louise and Duncan for all of their help and guidance (and tough love ) to help me get where I am. I highly recommend Fitness Together to anyone who wants to lose weight, get healthier and get into shape, so they can enjoy life.
