CoachMeFit

CoachMeFit is an amazing place. I have been going here on and off for about a year now. It is so different from any other gym or fitness center. It’s all personal training. This is awesome because it’s so personal, never over crowded, and the results are amazing. I see Melissa. She is awesome at what she does and I look forward to going. As cliché as it sounds she makes working out fun. From what I’ve seen from just watching other trainers with their clients, they are all awesome. The facility is clean and well equipped, the location is tucked away and more private which I like, and the staff are so friendly and helpful and amazing at what they do. Most of all the results are incredible. I love going here and will continue training at CoachMeFit as long as I can. I very highly recommend!

I am a sloth by nature. I am quite typically completely unmotivated to do any physical activity for health’s sake, until I notice that my vision is obscured because my cheeks have puffed up into little pillows of fat, the thigh chub rub has caused microabrasions in the skin, none of my pants will button comfortably, etc. The last straw is my dad giving me the once-​over and announcing gravely, «You need to get to a gym.»
I exaggerate only slightly. When I decided that enough was enough, I gave this studio a call. They just opened in March ’08 — since it’s so new, I was able to snag a package discount (10%) and get to work out in relative peace with my trainer. The space is new, wide-​open and minimalistic, with all of the newest gadgets that usually intimidate the hell out of me. I don’t really do bigger gyms at all and have worked with a personal trainer before, so I was happy to find one close to home.
There are a few trainers on staff right now. I have been working with Brad, who seriously kicks (my) ass. The workouts have been tough for this little marshmallow, but I feel so great after just about a month of sessions and can definitely perceive a difference. He is certified and has a background in sports med (kinesiology? I haven’t gotten into it) so he has a physiologic approach to my workouts that I appreciate. I’ve seen the other patrons getting their butts kicked by the other trainer there, too.
Yeah, it’s spendy. It’s a commitment. It’s worth it to me, because I am just not one of those people who enjoys the gym or is self-​motivated enough to even get there. And it works! Activity always does…
