Get In Shape For Women

I have joined the gym three months ago and have seen great results. The initial conversation may sound sales pitchy but the actual gym, program, trainers and owners are excellent. The gym hours are so convenient for all women of all ages. I work in New York and can make the evening hours. My friend works out in the early morning at 7:00 am. It is so convenient to work out with a trainer at a time that works for you and they are flexible if you need to change your time. In addition, it is a very comfortable gym, the women are all really nice and supportive of each other. Progress is tracked each week and results are rewarded with a lot of positive reinforcement. The gym is clean, there is protein drink offered to all women after the workout for free, and there are TVs for each cardio machine. If you are looking for a gym where you can be comfortable to work out in, keep your commitment and see results, I recommend Get in Shape for Women in Englewood. And, the owners are really nice people committed to heath.

What a shame that the other reviewers from 2 years ago never gave the gym a chance. They probably have the same impression of every gym.
I am an actual paying member for over a year who works out on a regular basis and am committed to good health and achieving sustainable weight loss (25+pds and counting). This gym caters to working women who have short windows of time to work out but are dedicated.
This gym is fabulous. The owners and trainers create a fun and supportive environment that has the gym membership growing by leaps and bounds. Every time you work out, you are among friends and the comeraderie that is created between the women is invigorating. There is nothing better than a fellow gym member pushing you to get through that workout on a lazy monday night. Because of the small groups working out at a time — the trainers are able to tailor the workout to you and what you need. They are extremely accommodating to any issues you may have like lower back or knee pain. There are women of all ages and all weight levels working out together.
I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for excellent nutrition training, a supportive, friendly and an effective training staff. You also get an added benefit of making new friends and supporters who are on the same workout journey as you.
You will achieve your weight loss goals. Get in Shape For Women will get you there!

My phone conversation with the office manager told me all i needed to know.
Very pushy and nasty, I never went for the trial workout. When I drove past
this so called facility, they have paying members on display for their own advertisement. No window covering what so ever, and the place looks very
small.

hmmm… well, let’s just say that i’ve been going to gyms to workout for the better part of a decade now. i’m not a pro athlete, and i’m no spring chicken… however, i am dedicated to health and fitness AT MY LEVEL… having experienced a 100 lb + weight loss in the past, i think i know a bit about diet, nutrition, and exercise… now, the thing to also know about me is, 1) i have incredible body issues that i work through a day at a time, 2) i still battle my weight, something that is made worse by my increasing age (i recently gained some weight back but am in the process of taking it off), and 3) i now suffer from fairly severe osteoarthritis which came on suddenly about 2 years ago.
this is all a prelude to what turned out to be a rather disappointing experience at this facility.
i had received a card in the mail advertising a «free one-​week trial membership.» OK, i thought, why not? i am all for patronizing new facilities in my area, and the approach this facility was putting forward (small group training coupled with nutrition) sounded intriguing,
let’s just say, this place is obviously having some growing pains when it comes to customer service!!! (which i hope is the case… otherwise, to think that this is their normal MO is quite depressing!!!).
i made my appointment, and showed up at the facility. i was met by one of the owners, who gave me a tour and then whisked me to the back room to get my «personal profile,» i explained all of the above to her, and advised her that i was seeking to get some personal training that would take my limitations into account. fine.
out to the floor we went, where a rather goofy trainer put me through a «sample workout.» OK, not everyone’s personality is stellar… and i was willing to overlook this… until…
at the end of the workout, i was whisked back into the «consultation room» where the previously friendly, helpful, and supportive co-​owner suddenly went commando on me. it seemed like the questions now were meant to make me feel bad about myself, how «fat and out of shape» i was. my weight has fluctuated somewhat since the major 100 lbs + weight loss, however i have recently lost 25 lbs on weight watchers, something of which i am especially proud!!! the co-​owner, however, sniped at this, and said to me, «well, if weight watchers is working so well for you then why are you here???» huh? i’m not allowed to explore new options, and possibly patronize your business in the process?
the questions got increasingly biting, with ms. co-​owner asking me if i felt «comfortable» carrying around «nearly 50 lbs of fat» (which was revealed by their high-​tech body scan) and whether my body «ever made you feel bad.» OUCH!!! i responded that i work very hard on both my body and my body image issues and that today i am at a place of acceptance and positivity in my life, a day at a time. she then asked me if i thought «a day at a time» was going to «solve my problems.» WTF???
she then said she needed to ask me some further questions to see if i was «coachable.» at that point, i had had just about enough. so, i thanked her kindly, but said that i didn’t think this approach would work for me. she then amped up the viciousness, basically telling me that i was going to be forever a failure with my attempts to get in shape unless i bought into her (rather pricey!!!) training and nutrition system.
i left as fast as i could, and will not be back!!!
just a word of warning. maybe this type of «commando» approach works for some, however, it only left me feeling really bad, and also like i had wasted my entire afternoon being berated by someone.
if this isn’t your approach to fitness, you might want to bypass this place!
