Written Testimonials from our MembersI am fairly new to Focus on Fitness. A massage client who teaches there suggested I go for a trial period, and from the moment I walked in the door, I pretty much knew - this was the place for me. I was looking for an alternative to the giant clubs with loud booming music and the indifferent 20-something staff that don't give you the time of day. I was shopping for a club with a family-friendly atmosphere, with a staffed playroom where I could bring my son to play when I work out. A gym with a small pool that welcomed kids, but without a zillion of them jumping on my head. So I could enjoy the pool with my 5 year old. A gym that offered yoga and Pilates - at times of day that fit my schedule, not just at the crack of dawn and evenings. I wanted to join a gym where the staff would actually recognize and greet me by name when I came in. (Yes, think Cheers!)Focus on Fitness gives you all that and more. You are greeted daily by a friendly and warm staff. I was even given a tour by the owner, Louise Boland, who is a very hands-on owner and clearly cares deeply about her business. She keeps the place spotless, and immediately repairs anything that needs fixing or replacing. The equipment is in great condition, with many new machines. They gave me two complimentary fitness, evaluation and training sessions with one of their fabulous personal trainers, Alison. Who, incidentally, is a very personable and likable woman. She teaches a wonderful yoga class and runs a great weight loss program at FOF. (And she seems to be pleasantly omnipresent whenever I need a boost!) I have been really enjoying my workouts for the last few months. Among other things, I like the diversity and demographics of the clientele. All ages attend many of the classes, and work out there. But today I felt inclined to write a letter, because I felt Louise really bent over backwards for me. (It doesn't take much for me. Isn't it the little things that usually prompt someone to take the time to give a good rating?) I am happy with my choice to go with Focus on Fitness. If you are shopping around for a friendly, clean, smaller gym experience, I highly recommend giving Focus on Fitness a whirl. I doubt you'll look any further.

At Focus on Fitness that is exactly what I did this past year. Being 55+ and inactive, I had gym anxiety and was sure that in my out of shape state, everyone was looking at me. Not knowing where to begin I hired a personal trainer, Marion. At our first session, I could not get off the floor. Quad stretch? Not happening. As each week went by, I was gently, but persistently, nudged into classes and things began to get easier. In a year I have lost almost 60 lbs and 40 inches, run a 5K and bought a bike all because of the professionals at FOF. Don't wait. Improved health & fitness can be yours at FOF where each member matters. TH, FOF Member |
