Fitness Together Wilmington

Last year, I decided it was time to drop a few pounds and get into better shape. I conducted an online search for personal fitness trainers, and interviewed three different trainers. Fitness Together stood out as the place where I would get a complete customized program tailored to my personal needs and goals. I really appreciated that the focus is not just on private exercise training, but also on nutrition. The extra perks like towels and bottles of water available at every workout didn’t hurt either!

I was looking to get back in shape and considering a personal trainer when I received a flier advertising Fitness Together. The promotion offered two free training sessions, so I decided to give it a try. In just two sessions, I could see that working with a trainer in a private studio makes a huge difference. My trainer encouraged me to push myself a harder than I would if exercising on my own; those extra five reps achieve results.

I was motivated to invest in long-term training, but my wife was a bit skeptical. “Couldn’t you just go the gym instead?” she asked, thinking of how much money we could save. The financial commitment was substantial, but also motivating. I was not going to waste such a big investment. Read the rest…

I’ve always been very active and I’ve been fortunate to remain the same exact size since college. But, like most people, when it comes to exercise, I’m not always self-motivated. Furthermore, with a busy career, a husband, and a young son, my time is in high demand. If I’m going to spend time away from work or family, then whatever I’m doing better be fun! I use a trainer to help keep me accountable for making fitness a part of my regular routine, and I count on my trainer, Justin, to make my workouts both motivating and enjoyable.

Two years after my son was born, I wanted to get back in really good shape and I knew I was not going to do it alone. That’s when I started working with a personal trainer at Fitness Together. I’ve been a regular client for the past five years, and at the age of 43, I’m in better shape now than I was in college! Read the rest…

As a business owner, fitting workouts into my hectic schedule is tricky. Although I’m not a morning person, I used to work with a personal trainer at 7:30 a.m. It was the only time when I was sure that I could squeeze in a workout without scheduling conflicts. Then, my trainer announced that she no longer wanted to get up that early in the morning to train me; I had to find a new trainer. I had heard wonderful things about Fitness Together via business networking groups, so I contacted them for an initial assessment. Even though the cost of training at Fitness Together was three times the price I was paying my ex-trainer, I was willing to give it a try.

After my second session with Fitness Together, I knew that my ex-trainer’s decision to quit had been a blessing in disguise. For the year-and-a-half I had worked with my ex-trainer, the scale had never budged and I hadn’t lost any inches. We had followed the same exact routine during every training session. But, at Fitness Together, the trainers custom-design workouts that change regularly. I don’t get bored and my body doesn’t get used to a routine. Read the rest…

A couple of years ago, I started working with a trainer. Then, my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Because I was completely focused on caring for him, I quit work and stopped working out. During his illness and passing, I gained twenty-six pounds. My husband and I had been married for 30 years, 7 months, 4 days, and 14 hours; we had enjoyed an incredible love affair and I was so devastated by my loss that I didn’t leave my house for a month after his funeral.

Before his death, my husband made me promise not to return to work. He said it was time; I had logged many years of hard work, and he wanted me to to enjoy life and care for myself. He had even bought me a membership to a large gym, but when I got my first look (and smell!) at this national chain’s facility, I knew that it wasn’t the right environment for me. I shopped around at other gyms, but none felt like a good fit. Read the rest…
