Testimonials

I’ve never been to a gym or personal trainer’s studio where I got such personal treatment. From the moment you walk in you receive a bottle of water, a towel and your own set of ear plugs for the TVs. Then they evaluate your fitness level which was a first for me. Wendy Tarlow, the owner makes you feel very welcome. Then you get to the workout! The personal trainers are creative and skilled at keeping you enthused. Three cheers for Wendy and Meaghan!

I have been a client of Fitness Together – Pembroke Pines for 10 weeks now. I have lost 27 pounds and feel really GREAT! My team of trainers push me beyond what I could ever make myself do and they hold me accountable for all of my actions and daily nutrition. Losing those pounds has made me so confident about myself and everything I am doing. My brother Orel and I recently began a record label, ORB Muzik, and by losing weight I can go out and market myself and my company with more confidence. I want to thank Meaghan and her staff for helping me get closer to my goal and helping me become a more confident and healthy person. I look forward to continuing my transformation process with Fitness Together Pembroke Pines, and getting down to my goal weight… I know it is not far away.

To my friends at Fitness Together Personal Training Studio,

I would like to express how glad I am to have found Fitness Together. It has been an incredibly positive life changing experience for me. I came to Fitness Together because I need to recover from a head injury that has had a significant impact on my mental and physical well-being. While doing research on my injury, the most important thing I could do to improve myself was to start exercising and dieting. I was nervous because at thirty-five years old, I was afraid of injuring myself. I searched all over Broward and Dade County for a gym that would have knowledgeable trainers that were concerned about me. After weeks of searching, I had all but given up on finding the right trainer and workout program to help me. But all that changed when I saw an advertisement on the web for Fitness Together. From my first phone call I had with Christy, I knew that I was on the right track. After my first workout, I knew I struck gold.

At Fitness Together, I would not have just one personal trainer, but an entire team of knowledgeable and certified trainers that would work together and take part in my recovery. The proof of their commitment is clearly visible in the results I have had. I have lost over twenty pounds of fat while building muscle. Everyone who knows me cannot believe just how quickly I have progressed on the road to physical well-being.

More importantly, my emotional well-being has progressed. I feel so good during and after my workouts that I wish I had found Fitness Together sooner!

I can honestly say that if it was not for the trainers at Fitness Together, I could not have accomplished my goals so quickly. I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about improving his or her health to go to Fitness Together and try a workout. I know that you will achieve your personal training goals if you have the desire to do so and stay committed to the custom training program they will put together for you.

Sincerely,

Chris Grillo

Before

After

When I came to Fitness Together, I thought I was in pretty good shape. I was bored with my routine, however, and didn't feel that I was challenging myself enough. During my consultation, I explained what I was looking to accomplish, and Fitness Together has delivered. The personal trainers are knowledgeable, experienced, motivating and fun to work with. I don't think I have done the exact same workout twice in the 5 months I have been coming to FT. Not only is this what I wanted from a challenge and interest perspective, I've seen tremendous results in increased strength and stamina, along with the "bonus" of loss of both weight and body fat.

The personal touch of each of the personal trainers is what makes Fitness Together so unique. I decided to run a 1/2 marathon to challenge myself, and the team, especially Christy, really supported me in terms of making sure the personal training I was doing worked in conjunction with the running plan I was on.

Training at Fitness Together Personal Trainers has been a great experience and I recommend them to anyone, at any level of fitness, who wants to have fun and see results.

So you know how the gyms today entice you with the words “personal trainer?” You know the deal, you walk in, they bring in this gorgeous Zeus-like looking person who says, “You will be spending 45 minutes with me, and I promise when you’re done you will have the amazing body you have always wanted.” So I bit and became discouraged and disappointed.

I live in Denver (Florida only in the winter). Not too far from my Denver home was a Fitness Together sign: 1-Client, 1-Trainer, 1-Goal. I had passed this place a million times. I decided to walk in and inquire about their programs. I knew within 5 minutes I had found the program for me. The trainers were personable, knowledgeable, friendly and non-judgmental. I knew I had finally found trainers who cared about me as a person, which is why I maintain my program at the Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale during the winter months that I am here.

Fitness Together’s motto is 1 Client, 1 Trainer, 1 Goal. In those 45 minutes they live up to every word. My trainers make my session fun and challenging. I see my trainer 3 times per week and not only feel better overall both physically and emotionally, but the training session is never boring as the individual sessions are geared to your specific needs. This has been a great experience for me and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who is serious about changing workout habits, muscle toning, and losing weight.

There's no comparison between a typical exercise club, gym or personal training studio and the experience at Fitness Together - Fort Lauderdale. I've been working out for several years and at one point I actually injured myself doing it on my own. The one-on-one approach at Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale is helping me to achieve my goals and even live a better lifestyle. My workouts are guided by experts to achieve better coordination, definition and balance. I go to Fitness Together 3 -4 times a week. Having a Personal Trainer is much more motivating than doing it on your own. I feel I am getting more than my money's worth. I've even referred a bunch of my friends.

The Story - There I was, 42 years old and fatter than I had ever been in my life. I had tried everything to lose weight, you name it, and I tried it. I had been a client of Fitness Together in Parkland for a year or so and had been working out but I guess I thought that working out meant I could eat what I wanted and my body would miraculously burn it off. My trainer, Fabiola, had been trying to get me to watch my diet and work out more frequently. I would say, “Yea, yea, I will.” Then the challenge came – the Personal Trainers at Fitness Together made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. They promised me that if I would work and eat sensibly, I would achieve the results I was looking for.

I started “the challenge” on December 4th and worked for twelve weeks, until March 12th, two days after my 43rd birthday. I ate right and exercised as instructed by the Personal Training Team at Fitness Together. The end result, I was thinner on my 43rd birthday than I had been in 14 years; I lost 45 pounds. I’m still working but the great news is I have maintained the weight loss.

The lesson – there is no magic pill that will make weight disappear. I needed to change my lifestyle, eat sensibly and exercise (not a dirty word anymore). There is no looking back now; I’m healthier and look better than I have in years – nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Fitness Together. Oh and by the way I am now one of the owners of Fitness Together Parkland.

When I started working out at Fitness Together I was 267 lbs and growing. I have now lost over 60 lbs and am still working on losing weight and gaining muscle to reach my ultimate goal. I recently had my annual checkup and my overall health has never been better, dropping the excess weight has benefits so far beyond our physical appearance I believe it adds years to our lives and the quality of our lives.

I have always known that we get out of things exactly what we put into them. Working out for me now is not just about reaching a goal but maintaining it and developing a lifestyle to support it ... it's a long term approach to health. I have four children and they put serious demands on my time. The best time for me to exercise is early morning, actually very early in the morning say 6am. My trainer has been there for me every step of the way, 3 times a week at 6am always pushing and challenging me to get to that next level. I push myself pretty hard but she has been such a great source of inspiration and guidance and I know I would not have had this kind of success without her. It's great to know that when you're ready to put the effort into it your trainer will be there for you.

The studio environment really makes a difference in the training. The focus of the trainer and the ability to move to the next machine without waiting for it to come free means that you get the most from your workouts. The privacy of the one on one training approach also ensures that interruptions are kept to a minimum which again helps get the most out of training.

I really value time with family and I have to thank the team at Fitness Together for giving me the ability to enjoy my family time more. The fact that I can work out this early in the morning means more time with family and my improved health allows me to really enjoy my kids. I've truly enjoyed this experience and am looking forward to continued success.

There I was… just sitting there, every night… just sitting there… every weekend just sitting there. I would go to sleep thinking “this is not me, this is not the person that I want to be, and this is not making me happy” Night after night I would go through this until finally I thought “tomorrow, tomorrow I will do something.” So I did, the very next day I would ride my bike, or go for a run. Then the next night I was back to just sitting there. Sitting. Ugh I hate sitting! I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!

And there it was… like a beacon of light… there was the Fitness Together Pembroke Pines sign. I found myself walking in. There was Meagan, my new personal trainer, greeting me at the door. And there was my schedule of personal training work-outs. Wow I am really doing this! I am going to work one on one with my own Personal Trainer! And I am STILL doing it.

Hello - my name is Travis and I am a Fitness Together Addict! Since my first meeting with Meagan and her team of trainers at Pembroke Pines I felt right at ease. No one made me feel lazy or crappy they just made me feel like they were going to make a difference in my life. And they have. Since starting at fitness together I do a lot less sitting and a lot more living. Thanks Meagan for getting my butt off the couch and looking fabulous!

I had been working out for months on my own and with an average personal trainer in a large gym in order to be at a healthy wait to get pregnant. My success was minimal. I was very frustrated. A friend suggested I try Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines. In a last ditch attempt, I signed on with the Fitness Together Personal Trainers and had amazing results! I need that one-on-one support, and to be in a private personal training setting as opposed to a big gym makes all the difference in the world. My personal trainer, Meaghan Vecchia, was so knowledgeable and motivating. She provided me with guidance not only on exercise, but nutrition as well. I lost the weight I needed to lose, and then some. Now, with my pregnancy behind me, I am back with Fitness Together’s Personal Trainers to shed that "baby weight." I know that I will have success the second time around. I would recommend Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines Fl without hesitation.

I finally found my home away from home. The personal trainers at Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines are the most experienced and educated that I have ever found. I wanted to do specific core training and actually shopped around to a couple of other personal training studios and they only did traditional weight lifting. These guys are the real deal. They have the right kinds of Functional Training Equipment to actually address my core specifically. I am going there 4 times a week. They work around my schedule. I don't have to work around theirs. And it is affordable. I am absolutely in love with the personal training philosophy at The Pembroke Pines Fitness Together. Thank you for opening in my neighborhood. I would highly encourage anyone who hasn't tried them to ask for a consultation.

Sincerely,

Shawn Early – Pembroke Pines

“I joined Fitness Together Pembroke Pines Personal Trainers just over 1 week ago. I now workout every morning for at least 1 hour. My days before joining Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines consisted of me waking up late, eating once or twice a day, and then going to work until 11 pm. My last or sometimes only meal would be at 11:30pm before I went to bed. Now I am waking up early, working out regularly, and eating well. My personal trainer, Meaghan Vecchia who is also one of the owners of Fitness Together Pembroke Pines, sure challenges and motivates me. I feel alive again, more alert, more responsive, and if I miss a day I do not feel right. Thanks, Meaghan and the rest of the personal trainers at Fitness Together Pembroke Pines, FL. It’s a new beginning – and a Great One!”
