Get in Shape for Women

Best gym i have ever belonged to – the format just works – having a set time keeps me from procrastinating and not going, small group training provides more than enough attention, and half hour of cardio is good for someone like myself who really doesn’t like doing cardio – and the staff is wonderful – really nice, kind, caring, enthusiastic people – plus only for women (no offense guys) — have never consistently attended any gym the way I do GISFW–

I LOVE this place. I’ve been going to the gym and working with personal trainers for years, and I got more out of my one workout here than I ever have before. They know exactly what they are doing, and are so supportive.

I have currently lost almost 85 lbs at GISFW. I have never been so happy with my figure in my entire life ! I’ve now been a member for over a year and a half, and I absolutely recommend this gym to all the ladies !

Here it goes friends! My partner has been going here for about 18 months. She doesn’t have a Unilocal so I’ll do my second hand testimonial first then on to hers. Every time she comes home from here she is happy, energetic and most importantly has a glowing positive frame of mind. Now for your first hand review… take it away Casey!
Thank you to Get in Shape for Women for providing a welcoming, supportive, and inspiring place to work out, learn about nutrition, and make small life changes that have a huge impact!!! Best part of my day!!! Cant imagine my life without it!
Great job, Casey! Unilocal is free, get an account!

GISFW is a wonderful concept with equally wonderful people running it. The owners and all the trainers truly care about you, and it shows. Everyone is really friendly and encouraging, both staff and members alike. I’ll be signing up for my 3^rd year in a row at GISFW, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to train me!

CALL THEM NOW, THEY REALLY CARE! I have worked out throughout my adult life. Joining various gyms, using different trainers and following my own nutritional path (or not) never really gave me the results I sought. Plus I never stuck with anything for more then 6 months without looking for the next best method.
On my 61^st birthday I found myself grossly overweight, arthritic, with absolutely no balance and hating my reflection in the window. I needed something new so I went online, saw a review on GISW, and called Mary. When I first came in Janet asked me what my main goal was and I said, besides the weight, I desperately needed to improve my balance because I trip a lot and have sustained various injuries. We talked at length and after my first trial session I was hooked.
The staff is INCREDIBLE! The owners are kind and helpful, the trainers are magnificent in keeping you moving, motivated and safe. The model of having 4 women in a session together to share the «pain» makes it fun and social without judgement. Top that off with the fact that Janet knows everything about nutrition and is always available to listen and guide you makes this, I believe, the BEST option to achieving optimal health.
Today (one year later) I am within 15 lbs of my goal weight with absolutely no balance issues, no more arthritic pain and stronger then I have felt in 30 years. I LOVE coming here and you will too!

I have been a member of Get In Shape for Women in Mill Valley for five years and I 100% credit my affiliation with this fitness studio with accomplishing by health and fitness goals of weight loss, balanced nutrition, physical strength, and excellent fitness. It is locally owned by Dave and Mary and they are the most wonderful and caring individuals you will ever meet. They have set the tone and climate for the studio to be warm, supportive and filled with a strong sense of community and belonging. Janet, the manger is amazing. She is super nice and very knowledgeable about everything fitness and nutrition related. She is always available and eager to assist in any way possible. The trainers are of the highest caliber. They seek to bring out the best in each of us and pay strict attention to details including what limitations we may have. I have had several health challenges with my back and shoulder and they manage to work with me to continue to train and grow stronger even while nursing my ailments. Evie — there is none like her. She is the nicest person you will ever meet, but more importantly she is dedicated to the health and well-​being of each of her clients. She is tough, but that is what you need in a trainer. Her caring and supportive training style makes you want to try hard to do your best. I can not thank her enough for her commitment and support. I give her a great deal of credit for the successes that I have accomplished over the years. It is such a joy to come in each week to be a part of the wonderful group at Get in Shape for Women in Mill Valley. I am excited and eager to continue on my journey to health and an excellent quality of life with this group. I highly recommend this fitness studio — you will not regret it.

I’ve been participating for over a year and very pleased with the strength I have gained and maintained. It gets me going in the morning and doing something for myself. The trainers are very aware of each participants individual needs. I try not to miss one class.

I first reviewed Get in Shape for Women in 2013 after I had been a member for a few months. Now that 2 years have passed, I am still here and even a broken foot last year couldn’t keep me away. The trainers made accommodations that made it easy to train with a heavy boot and I know it is why I healed faster than the docs thought I would.
I am stronger at 61 than I have ever been and when my glutes are sore or my triceps feeling the burn, I know I am doing the best thing I can do.
GISW (as we call it) is a place for camaraderie and sweating. Tons of fun activities and challenges (fitness and weight loss) to keep things really fun.
I have never been bored with my workouts and the trainers Ewie, Jennifer, Nicole, and Janet keep us all coming back, rain and shine.
Joining was one of the best decisions I have made in my wellness journey.

GISFW really fits my needs. It has a welcoming atmosphere, good equipment, trainers who know what they are doing regarding weight and cardio exercising, a group of people who are like me, normal folks who need guidance and routine to exercise and build strength. I have been going to the Mill Valley studio for 3 – 4 years now and I know that I am stronger and have better endurance than I did before I started this routine. I appreciate what GISFW offers me and can highly recommend them.

Still a member! Great trainers, great owners. Which it was closer to where I moved to!!!

I’m sore again!
Evie, Jeff and Maria — the personal trainers — challenge me each time I attend a session. I am thankful for their professional way of knowing what I can do and pushing me to accomplish it… and making it FUN
I joined in January and in the past three months have transformed those last, stubborn, almost ten pounds… I have lost ten pounds of FAT and reach a goal each month working toward overall fitness.
The staff is positive, knowledgeable, experienced and truly caring!

GISFW truly changed my life! I had never stepped foot in the door of a gym in my life and, now, I hope I never have to stop going. I joined nearly two years ago three months after having major lung surgery. My body is 100% stronger than it was before I joined. The staff (including the owners) are professional but warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a place to help you «get in shape» this is THE PLACE!

I love GISFW! I joined in May 2013 and I’m so happy with my results of losing 10 pounds — 10 pounds I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to lose for a few years now. I’ve belonged to other gyms but GISFW is the first time I’ve been able to successfully and regularly workout because it’s has the right combination of accountability with assigned workout times with a trainer in a small group (love it!), interval cardio training and easy to follow, sensible eating plus the staff and trainers are supportive and enthusiastic and downright nice people! I’m so glad I joined and now I actually enjoy going to the gym!

Your little slice of heaven for a a hour a day three days a week. A time for busy women to tune out and let some one else take care of you for a change. You have a schedule appointment, YOU. The commitment and the real work is about YOU and the professional trainers are there ever step of way and it is very rewarding.
Thank You GISFW, I am in better shape now, I have more energy and lost few pounds …

I have never worked out in a gym before. I began the Paleo diet about a year ago and have been looking for a gym to Lift Heavy Things, which is part of Paleo living. Crossfit was too intense for my 55 year old, never-​been-​in-​shape body, but this place has been just the ticket!
The gym culture here is warm and encouraging. I love the small group comraderie. The trainers give you just enough push to help you surpass what you think you can do. I feel like I’m on my way to being in the best shape I’ve ever been.
Their (franchise-​mandated) ads focus on weight loss, but this gym is for everyone. I came because I want to get strong, not for weight loss.

Great place to get an excellent, well-​paced, challenging workout in a small group environment with a trainer. And with a great group of women. Not pressure — no competition — no need to worry about how you measure up. Just focus on you — and work on getting in better shape.
I have lost 7 lbs so far and looking to lose more. But even better — I have tons more energy and feel so invigorated. It’s fun — try it.

I can’t believe the results I have obtained. Over the past 5 months I have gone from a tightly fitting size 8 to a comfortable fitting size 4. I still have 10 more pounds to lose to reach my goal, but i have never been in as good shape as I am now. The trainers are amazing and will work you through challenges you never thought you could achieve. The nutrition plan becomes second nature after a a while and I never feel hungry though I have lost over 20 pounds.

I love GISFW in Mill Valley… Felix, the general manager is awesome, all the trainers are wonderful, and the vibe of the whole place is fun, professional, super clean, and motivating. I got a month through a LivingSocial deal, and have really enjoyed it. I love the structure, the music, the intensity, and the support…

Best experience I’ve encountered; when it comes to the gym introduction!
So you have your Get in Shape for Women direct mail post card and you think; ya maybe.
I say just do it. You call and you get Tanya on the phone, who is friendly, smart, very conversational and this intrigues you enough to go in and check it out. You get there and the vibe is fun, it’s not intimidating and you think; these women look like me. The staff and trainers are fantastic, NO yelling, No negativity all positive and encouraging.
I joined mid October and LOVE it, I’m eating better, I have more energy and I’ve dropped some Lbs.
You work out with no more than 4 women; all shapes, sizes & ages. The women at the Mill Valley location are great and I can even say… I look forward to my routine work outs.
Go do it… or at the very least go check it out.
