Here is what your neighbors have to say about Fitness Together.
To begin your success story click here.
At Fitness Together I have learned to do what
was impossible for me in the past. I have tried many, MANY times to get into
better shape on my own. In fact I have forty years of trial and error under
my belt, always trying something new. It just did not work for me. I could
not successfully juggle family, work and my health. Health always seemed to
come in last.
In addition to the great workouts, the most important thing for me has been
the ability to ask my personal trainer and get real answers to all my
questions about exercise and nutrition. By getting the real answers to the
questions in my head, I have been able to maintain my fitness program. I am
actually staring to understand what works, why it works, and how to take
better care of myself.
I am now working out and getting results. In the past I have done workout
programs only to get modest results. I would eventually get frustrated with
the results and go back to my old ways. I can see the cycle repeated over
the years.
At Fitness Together I know the workouts are going to be great and I will be
challenged each time. What I have improved upon most is giving my best
effort each time. With my personal trainer’s help I have learned that the
correct form combined with a good effort will produce the results. I have
actually, for the first time, learned to exercise effectively. Something I
have not been able to figure out on my own.

Congratulations to Andy on
earning our first Client of the Month award! And he definitely deserves it.
Andy is down 45 pounds and 12 percent body fat (so far), and still going
strong. He does a fantastic job with his nutrition program and makes great
food choices at work at home and when eating out. He is very consistent with
his cardio exercise always shows up on time for his training and always
gives his best effort and full attention to every session. His work ethic
and attitude are outstanding. Instead of “how many do I have to do” I
usually hear “I’ll just keep going ‘till you tell me to stop”. Andy has
truly changed his lifestyle to achieve his health and fitness goals and it
has paid off for him. I am confident he will surpass his goals AND be able
to maintain his results for life. Great job Andy! |

My initial goal with
Fitness Together was to work with a personal trainer to tone and in about 2-3 months I thought I would be
complete and happy. Not only am I more than happy, but I love the new me! I
am 33 with three children and my new measurements are unbelievable!
It is now almost six
months later and eating healthy, staying fit and continuing to tackle new
fitness challenges is not a temporary change, but its now my lifestyle.
Whether it is increasing
the interval intensity with my cardio, utilizing heavier weights for more
muscle tone or adding more miles for my marathon training, my
personal trainer Merin is there every step of the way. She is extremely
knowledgeable, a great motivator and genuinely cares about my goals and I am
positive that she will continue to help me achieve every one of them!

I just want to
thank my personal trainer Ed and Fitness Together for helping me get back into shape for my
wedding! I had 12 weeks before my wedding to fit into my dress and to look
good in a swim suit for Hawaii. I thought that was a tall order but I came
in and worked out 3 times a week, changed my diet, and did some cardio
activity. I feel great and the wedding and honeymoon were awesome! My self-
confidence is back!! I am continuing my fitness program because it has been
life changing for me. I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life. For
those of you who are reluctant to start a fitness program with a personal
trainer, don't be -- I am
46 years old and feel like I am 26!!

Every year I would go to the doctor and hear
that I needed to lose weight. Every year ... the same story: lose weight.
I stopped going to the doctor because I didn't want to hear it anymore. I
was fortunate not to have any health issues, but finally I decided that,
with diabetes running in my family, I did not want to take the chance as I
now tip the scales at 225 lbs.
Knowing that I would not be able to do this on my own I thought of several
options: liposuction, lap band, liquid diet, fat farm, boot camp, wire my
mouth shut, body wraps, as well as any diet fads that were out. I had
joined a boot camp before and ended up with many injuries. Realizing that
none of these was really an option for long term success I decided to find a
personal trainer.
Having a personal trainer that gives me one-on-one attention as well as exercises
specific to my needs and ability was just what I needed. During the last
three months, I have lost over 25 lbs!
It's been a lot of hard work, but I'm not stopping now. I will participate
in a 5k run, a 1/2 Marathon AND a Full Marathon
this year! Who would have thought I could do this? I have not run "on
purpose" since the 4th grade.
I have a great personal trainer, Merin who keeps me motivated and in check!
Thank you Merin and Fitness Together for helping me make this journey a
success. Becky G.

the finish line!), participated in a boot camp, and completed a ½ marathon.
She is now training for a FULL marathon. Becky has a high level of

“For
about 3 years I was pouring my heart into a job working anywhere from 60 to
70 hours per week which turned into eating a lot of junk food, not spending
anytime to care of myself, and gaining a lot of weight. The problem wasn’t
that I didn’t know what to do, it was that I didn’t have the accountability,
discipline, and motivation to follow-through with what I knew.
The
other problem was that going to a regular gym was completely unattractive to
me. Then I discovered Fitness Together and it all came together. FT had
expert personal trainers who really cared about my health and pinpointed my
fitness and nutritional needs. They also gave me that accountability that
was always missing as well as a close family atmosphere that made me feel I
didn’t want to let my personal trainer, as well as myself, down.”

My name is Dan and I’m 55 years old. When I started with my personal
trainer, Ed, I weighted 260 lbs, my blood pressure was high and I was out of
shape. After just 3 months, I have lost over 30 pounds, my blood pressure is back down
in the normal range, I understand how to exercise properly for the first
time in my life and I feel great!
This was my first experience working with a personal trainer and after
spending time with Ed I wish I had done it years earlier. I found Ed to be
extremely knowledgeable and a great encourager. I was always greeted with an
enthusiastic “Hello, how are you doing?” and a big smile. I know many people
worry they’ll feel silly, embarrassed or simply to uncoordinated to work out
in front of someone else. Well let me assure you, your Fitness Together
personal trainer will become your greatest cheerleader, and take you right from where you are and help you
achieve your goals together. It does take work, a lot of sweat and
perseverance on your part but the end results are worth it. So, if you’ve
been thinking about getting into better physical shape, I strongly recommend
working with a personal trainer at Fitness Together in Temecula.

“I had hit a significant plateau for six months after losing the initial 40
lbs on my own. Personal training at Fitness Together broke that plateau and it really started
coming off quickly!
I am down 16 dress sizes. I am most proud to carry my "before" pictures (I
never am without them) to encourage others and show people it can be done.”

I highly
recommend Ed Ferrell and Fitness Together to anyone considering personal
training. I am so impressed with his attention to detail and correct form,
that I saw results in just four sessions... much more so than with other
personal trainers I had worked with in the past.
He
kept my workouts interesting and challenging by changing up routines every
time and working my problem areas, but he also made it fun. I actually
looked forward to going to my personal training sessions.
Ed
obviously loves what he does and is enthusiastic! I love the emphasis
that he puts on the kinetic aspect of personal training, asking what results
that you want to achieve and then designing a program to get there fast!
He is personable, likeable and highly qualified professionally... if you
want a great personal trainer, then go to Fitness Together in
Temecula!

Each year since my breast cancer diagnosis, I have
tried to set a goal to do something I have never done before. Last year, I
decided to make a very special commitment. It was the Breast Cancer 3-Day
60 mile walk. This was a very important event for me. Thanks to my personal
trainer Ed Ferrell, I was in great shape to take on this endeavor. On
November 17th, I celebrated not only my ninth year as a cancer survivor, but
also knowing that I met my personal goal.
Ed helped me with proper resistance training to ensure
my continued rehabilitation from my bilateral mastectomies and build back-up
my upper body strength. For the first time in years, I enjoy gardening
again. Last year’s home grown tomatoes never tasted sweeter off the vine! Ed
continues to provide me both positive feedback and offers of new challenges
ahead. I look forward in the near future to playing golf again!
The results from my personal training have gone way beyond the
tape measure or scale. I am happy, motivated, and committed to my fitness
program. Ed developed a personal training program for me that inspires me to keep
fit. I really never thought I would get into an effective exercise program
and stick to it! I'm feeling invigorated, looking great, eating right, and
am dedicated to a new healthier way of living! His sincere dedication to
helping me achieve my goals and his knowledge of nutrition and fitness helps
me to train more efficiently. The results I’ve achieved with Ed in just a
short time have been significant and I highly recommend Fitness Together to
anyone who is looking for top-notch personal training. I also want to thank
my personal trainer Ed for inspiring me and for being an excellent coach and motivator. This is
one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself mentally and physically!

I am a professional athlete and
recently moved to Temecula for my off-season. I needed help to prepare for
the upcoming season, so I researched personal trainers and gyms and visited
a few. I knew as soon as I met Ed and saw his facility that he would help
get me game-ready in the short amount of time I had to train.
Ed's knowledge of personal training is impressive. He's confident in his
abilities and realistic about setting and attaining goals. He utilizes
functional techniques and knows a wide range of exercises so I am never
bored and always challenged. His workouts are as quick and efficient as
possible.
I recommend Fitness Together, not only for my fellow athletes, but to my family and
friends, and anyone looking to improve their physical fitness and overall
health.

Recently I planned a trip to
Africa which featured hiking the Kilaminjaro Trail in Tanzania. Little did I
know the road ahead of me to prepare for such an adventure.
I started working out at the gym and doing hikes in the
local area. It wasn’t long before I realized I needed more intensive
training for future big hikes leading up to our Kilaminjaro hike. This is
when Ed, my personal trainer at Fitness Together, comes in.
When I began my personal training with Ed, what
impressed me so much about his unique training style was that he custom
designed a workout plan to help prepare me for the many big hikes I would be
doing. The training included strength, endurance, and weight loss.
I trained up to the last minute before leaving for Africa.
Between the personal training, cardio and hiking, my confidence grew. I was in
fantastic shape for a 60 year old about to embark on the biggest physical
challenge of my life.
I made it to the top of Kilaminjaro after 8 grueling
days of hiking. 19,300 feet up! What a Feeling! But, I did it with the
help of my fantastic personal trainer. He knew exactly what I needed to do to prepare
me for the hike. And now that I am home, I’m still training with him, and
will continue to do so. He will be a big part of preparing me for future
adventures.
I highly recommend personal training at Fitness Together in Temecula
for anyone who wants to increase their health, strength, confidence,
endurance and lose weight – and just plain feel great!

| It has been a wonderful experience
getting in shape at Fitness Together with my personal trainer Ed. I have noticed a
tremendous difference in my physical appearance and energy level. I would

| The size 8 figure of my 20's and
30's, after having 4 children had crept up to a size 12 by the time I
reached 53. I thought maybe I wasn't too old to do something that would
improve both my looks and my health. My immediate goal was to lose 20 pounds
and to be able to wear sleeveless clothes and shorts again! I had immediate
success! After
a year of personal training at Fitness Together, I had met my goal of a 20-pound weight loss, my
cholesterol was down to 173, my blood pressure was lower, and I have been
size 8 wearing sleeveless blouses and shorts. I look and feel better at 55
than I did at 45.

| I want my body back! After my first child, I got my body
back at Fitness Together! I love the private rooms and have continued my
fitness schedule with my personal trainer during this pregnancy. I have
never felt better or healthier. I look forward to getting my body back after
my next child also. Thanks to Fitness Together, I know I will! I have been a
client for 10 years.

| Now that I am approaching my mid-thirties, I realize that
all those nasty rumors are true; getting in shape and staying in shape
aren't as easy as before.
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 personal training 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.

| My goal for joining Fitness Together was to look great for
my wedding this summer. After my first personal training session, however, I quickly
realized I needed more than just to look great in a dress. I need to get FIT
again! I wasn't able to do one real pushup and simple jumping jacks left me
winded! Now, after a few months of working with the fantastic team of
Fitness Together personal trainers, I can do dozens of pushups, have trimmed inches
off my hips and thighs, and am stronger overall than I've ever been. The
routines have been grueling at times, but when I see my body's results, I
know it's been time and money well spent!
