My name is Crystal Ballard and I am 48 years old and if it is Gods will I will be 49 in two months. I work as a nurse, and I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. God is good to me so I know how important your health is. One day this lady and I were talking about weight and she told me about this trainer named Ashik. She talked so highly about him that I decided to give him a call. That is how I came about coming to this gym. Before I came to this Gym my weight was 172 and I knew I had to do something. When I met with Ashik he gave me hope and that was what I needed because we all need to know that there is hope out there and that it is not too late. You can do what you need to when it comes down to it and you have someone like Ashik in your corner. I thank God for him and he is an awesome trainer. The staff is very good and they have a very good eating and workout plan. If you follow their instructions and be faithful to the program, then you will get down to the size you want. I thank you all for caring and helping me reach my goal weight which is 130, see don’t I look good!!!!!

My name is Gaby Venegas and I am 33 years old. I have been a member of the Fitness Concepts program for over 2 ½ years. When I first started, I was a size 14 and weighed 180 lbs. Being unhappy with my appearance, I decided I needed a drastic change. I joined Fitness Concepts and was assigned to a personal trainer named Avey.

In 6 months after starting my personalized program I dropped to a size 8 and lost 30 pounds. I have enjoyed working with Avey very much and working with all of the other trainers as well. I would definitely recommend this program to those who are serious about looking and feeling good.

Thank you for everything!

I would like to express my gratitude to Fitness Concepts for having completely changed my attitude towards exercising. After having two children and years of yo-yo dieting and not exercising… nothing really worked. I had read a testimonial about a client who had success at Fitness Concepts and had lost over 60 lbs. I decided to give them a call and see what their program offered. The thought of walking in the door was intimidating, to say the very least, but knowing that everything else I had tried failed, I figured I had nothing to lose.

I had met with Sam for a free workout and decided to join that day. Fitness concepts laid a foundation as they customized a menu plan and personalized a training and cardio workout tailored around my busy schedule.

I always look forward to my training sessions with Aaron. No matter how I feel when I enter the gym, I always have a great workout and leave feeling great. Aaron has always been very professional; his knowledge, attention to detail, and his ability to develop my weak areas and push me to my potential, have definitely made the program work for me beyond what I have ever expected and hoped for myself.

I have been fighting and obsessing over my weight for most of my adult life and for the first time I finally feel at ease. It has taken me a little over a year but I have lost 62 pounds and I am still focused on reaching a goal I have set for myself. My family and I are very excited at the progress that I have made and my confidence has dramatically increased. The lessons I have learned on nutrition and exercise are so great that they make me want to keep it up and never lose focus.

Sam’s knowledge and expertise in fitness instruction and nutrition, along with his ability to impart that knowledge to his clients is extraordinary. I recommend Fitness Concepts to those who are serious about reaching their fitness goals!

Eight years ago, I went through a life-changing experience. I suffered two brain aneurysms, one of which ruptured. Miraculously, I survived and without any impairment to my motor skills. However, it did affect the part of my brain which deals with emotions, desires, motivations, etc.

I eventually had to leave my job and also give up my horse, which meant I just basically sat around the house, eating and gaining weight. I had tried a few different ways to lose the weight and succeeded, however it always came back on after I stopped whatever plan I had been following. And none of those plans included exercising.

I knew that this time around I could not do this on my own. I needed someone to guide me and push me to get where I knew I needed to be. Which is why my decision to sign on with Fitness Concepts was the best thing I could have done for myself. When I went in to talk with Sam about the facility and my medical history, he was very understanding and said he knew just the right trainer for me.

Working with Kristine Yu has been wonderful. She can tell when I can push myself a little more, even if I don’t. However, she has never made me do anything that she wasn’t confident I could do. She is always so supportive and gives me such positive feedback when I accomplish another goal.

In the first 3 ½ weeks, I lost 13 lbs. and 7 ½ inches. That was all the encouragement I needed to know that I was on the right track. The nutritional guidance I have received from Sam has been so easy to understand and follow. People often ask what kind of diet that I am on, and it’s really nice to say that I’m not on a diet, that I’m just finally learning how to eat healthier.

After 3 months, I have lost 19.5 lbs. and a little over 11 inches. Aside from the great physical benefits I have achieved with Fitness Concepts, it has also helped me emotionally. It’s truly amazing how one’s physical condition can affect one’s mental condition, and vice versa.

I am sure that I could never have even gotten this far if I had gone to a regular gym and tried this on my own. And I can say with all honesty, that there has never been a morning that I have gotten up and not felt like going to work out with Kristine.

My experience with Sam and every one connected with Fitness Concepts has been everything I could have asked for. It has truly made a big difference in my life.
