While inviting a colleague to one of my water fitness classes I commented on how much weight he lost and how toned
he looked. I was mostly just curious. He told me about his Personal Trainer at Fitness Together and the private
workout areas for each client, a business focused only on personal training and routines that worked for him.
Hmmm.. if I believed him -- all my excuses about personal training would be gone --- the feeling of being the center of
attention in a large gym, having my personal trainer get “distracted” by other colleagues, the waiting for machines while I
paid for “wait” time, and most importantly not being locked into a routine for the sake of expediency. Ok, so now what
would be my excuse? I picked up the phone and figured at the first sign of high pressure sales I was out of there. After
all, the worse that would happen is I’d get a free evaluation and know where I sat on the fitness scale at age 53. I
picked up the phone.
My last excuse was now gone … the staff at Fitness Together was absolutely focused on me, my goals and my fears
(now unfounded). No high pressure sales, no telling me what I needed to do --- we designed a training schedule that
met my goals and allows us to build on successes.
At Fitness Together each one of the trainers is attentive to details and more than happy to answer questions in layman’
s terms. And secretly, I was actually having fun…for someone who dreaded free weights, we’re now mixing it up with
bands and balls, free weights, a few machines and making it happen. My trainer, is both a runner and cyclist so we’ve
been able to focus on some training exercises that will help my cycling form as an added bonus. Believe me, I’m no
Rhonda Reebok, nor ever expect to be -- what I came looking for was to build bone and increase cardio/endurance,
what I leave with each session is a sense of accomplishment and being one step closer to my fitness goals. Of course
the casual compliments from my colleagues and hubby who are noticing I’m toning up doesn’t hurt either!
Fitness Together is just that ---- working together to reach the client’s goals. Personal, one-on-one, focused and fun.
Personal training is not just for the elite, or the fit, or those who are “in training” for a specific sport/achievement – it’s for
everyone who realizes good health is the ultimate goal. And the real bonus is since I travel for business, when I can’t
make my sessions with my trainer, I can now walk into any gym, set up my equipment and work through my 45-minute
routine without intimidation.
And believe me, it feels really, really good!!

Jessica's Story
I Hate Sweating!!
More than that, I hate it when other people see me sweat. For me, the best thing about
Fitness Together is their private training areas. Here, only a few people see me while I
am working out.
Plus, the whole environment is nothing like the ‘factory gyms’. I often see many of the
same clients each week and feel like it is a little community. I know if I miss a few days,
my fellow clients will be asking me “Where have you been?” - knowing they will ask
motivates me to get to my sessions.

Diane's Story
As a part-time water fitness professional and casual cyclist, I knew what I needed to do to
stay healthy and fit. When I was diagnosed with osteoporosis two years ago, I promised
myself to hit the gym and do strength training. My exercises of choice – water fitness and
cycling while very good for cardio and endurance are not weight bearing activities. But I
knew one thing about myself – I hated going to the gym, trying not to be intimated while
figuring out machine settings, or worse doing boring repetitions with dumbbells until the
first signs of muscle fatigue -- which I usually managed to equate with the first twinge of
tiredness. All done --- outta here.

Marion's Story
I joined Fitness Together 3 months before one of those horrible decade birthdays. I had exercised for years but was
very inconsistent. I was also stuck in a rut. I did what I thought was helpful but over time my weight had started to
increase. Worst of all was my waistline which had seemed to be taking on a life of it's own. I was in danger of needing
to even increase a pants size, something I had not had to do in 15 years.
The benefits I have received from Fitness Together have been wonderful.
I am now exercising consistently.
I am receiving feedback on what works best for me.
I am going beyond any level I would have ever imagined.
The exercise routines are not routine, I am constantly being given new ideas.
I am having fun. All the staff are great to work with - Bob, Shari, Dawn, and Heather.
My weight has decreased. I did not have to up my pants size. Next shopping trip will be for a size down. My waste has
decreased 3 inches. My percentage of body fat is at healthy levels.
One of the benefits I had not expected was a dramatic decrease in back pain. I am a registered nurse and poster child
for a work related back injury. I used to be in pain most of the time. Now I stop myself and say "I'm not having any pain."
I really recommend this type of training to anyone!
I am now retired from hospital nursing and have started my own business offering Reiki and Integrative Guided Imagery.

Steve's Story
Last year I had my best race season ever. I know that working with Fitness Together
has contributed to my success! Little things like changing tires on my car are easier,
and even at the end of a race on a hot summer day, I feel fresh and alert.

Pam & Wayne's Story
Wayne and I have really enjoyed making FT a part of our lives.
We've always been physically active, and enjoyed running, tennis, golf and
"working out". However, last winter, we decided we needed to get in better shape
found a very professional and knowledgeable staff in Bob, Samantha and Amanda.
Neither Wayne nor I enjoyed lifting weights, but our FT fitness plan involves much
more than just lifting. We each have individualized plans specifically designed for
us based on our ages, level of fitness and personal goals.

Wayne and I now have so much more energy and feel great about our commitment to our health through
investments in time with our FT trainers. They are all caring, but at the same time push us to do exercises and reps
that we would never be able to push ourselves to do without the one on one attention.
We just renewed for the third time for 100 sessions and have incorporated the cost in to our budget this year. We
both highly recommend FT Southborough to anyone who is looking to improve their health, fitness and energy level.

Rachel's Story
I had hit a significant plateau for six months after losing
the initial 40 lbs on my own. Fitness Together broke
that plateau and it really started coming off quickly! I am
down 100 lbs and 16 dress sizes in just a year!
I am proud to carry my "before"pictures (I never am
without them) to encourage others and show people it
can be done.

Jeffery's Story
Three years ago I came face to face with how much
weight I had gained and decided to do something about it.
At first I joined a national chain gym and got a personal
trainer but after a short time I decided I wanted something
more tailored to my needs and more personal. So I
began searching for a different kind of fitness center and
that's when I discovered Fitness Together. Fitness
Together has that intimate setting where it felt like it was
just me and another personal trainer and I didn't feel like I
was on display like at the gym.

Pat's Story
I still cannot believe that all I sought from FT 18 months ago was a stronger
lower body and core which I hoped would allow me to work with less pain.
Today I am working out comfortably and I am proud to show off the
unexpected side effects of a conditioned upper body and a new BMI to boot.
Thanks so much for your help. FT and you are the #1 force that allows me to
do what I need to do and enjoy the things I want to do.
For a 61 year old guy to feel 45 again, the only true fountain of youth is to be
strong! I couldn't do it without your help.
Gratefully,

Kristen's Story
I just pulled out photos taken at the beach last summer and
I can’t believe how much my body has changed.
After training just a short time with Fitness Together, I was
initially disappointed with my modest 6 pound weight loss.
Now looking back at last year’s vacation pictures, I can really
see the difference in my body!
My arms look and feel so much stronger and my clothes fit
so much better now.
Thanks FT!

Carolyn's Story
I lost 50 pounds after having weight loss surgery, but then hit a plateau. I was
exercising but I wasn’t losing any weight. I had pretty much given up, when on a
whim: I joined Fitness Together for a trial membership.
I was skeptical at first, I have belonged to plenty of gyms over the years, and I
have had consultations with personal trainers before, but Fitness Together was
different.
My personal trainer taught me how to exercise correctly for the first time in my
life. I learned the importance of staying in my target heart range so that I
burned stored calories. He also motivated me to work harder than I would have
ever pushed myself!
Since joining FT, I have lost an additional 40 pounds and counting!
