Fitness Together

I had gained over 100 lbs in my first few years moving from Florida to Boston and taking on an 80 hour a week work schedule. At the behest of a friend, she implored that I simply «walk-​in» to a Fitness Together near my home and the Sudbury Studio was the closest one. Nine years later, I am still going several times a week (and this is coming from a person who was never athletic or active past their teen years). After meeting the owner, Josh, and answering some basic questions (What were my goals, etc), I discussed weight loss, strength, balance and flexibility as things I would like to change /​improve. I started working out with Dawn (the studio manager) and in the first five months, I lost nearly half of what I had gained. Due to my own scheduling conflicts, I moved around with various trainers to accommodate my very hectic work schedule. I can honestly say that Josh is very savvy about who he hires to train his clients and I have always been happy and made positive strides with whomever I worked out with. I am currently working with Andy Wong, who is terrific at helping people with injuries as I have a chronic back issue. I have gotten stronger and more flexible with Andy’s help. The studio becomes like a family (and this doesn’t just apply to the trainers but to the other clients working out around your time slots). If you are looking to improve any aspect of your physical health, don’t hesitate to simply «walk-​in» and meet and chat with the trainers. Your first session is free so you have nothing to lose (other than weight) and what you will gain (strength, flexibility, camaraderie and higher self esteem) is priceless.

I have been a client here since January of 2013. I first met Dawn, the assist manager and we discussed a game plan for me. I work out five days a week and have not looked back since. Josh, the owner, is very flexible with his scheduling. All of the staff is very knowledgeable in terms of excercise as well as health issues. In my time in going there I have seen results in weight loss and in my strength. I do get challeneged in my workouts and love going there!!! The equipment used at the studio is top notch and the studios are very clean as well. Do what I did and go there and challenge yourself to find a better gym that cares about you as a person.
