Personal Training Client Testimonials
"Possible…..attainable……hopeful……all are words that I use when thinking of AFS and my weight loss. I have spent most of my adult life overweight and thinking that I would always be “a big girl.” When I came to AFS I figured that I might be able to lose a little weight but felt I would always be a “a big girl.” AFS gave me the hope and encouragement to use my competitiveness to attain my weight loss goal. All of the staff encourage me and make me want to give them my best. They can help to modify workouts if needed but still make me want to work out. The weight loss sessions are awesome and the time goes by so quickly. I love the variations of the classes and the individual modifications. When people see me and wonder how I've lost the weight that I have I always refer them to AFS which is an acronym for: Always Feeling Special because I love coming here and I love how I feel!"
-Diana L: Lost 19.3% Body Fat and 65lbs of Fat Mass

-Joyce K: Lost 10% Body Fat and 30lbs of Fat Mass while Gaining 4lbs of Lean Mass

-Emily P: Lost 16.8% Body Fat and 25.5 lbs of Fat Mass while Gaining 9lbs of Lean Mass
"I had been a regular exerciser for years prior to beginning at AFS. In six months (and my 60th birthday) at AFS I significantly reduced my body fat and gained muscle. My first time there was with my daughter, and now my husband, sister & brother-in-law, as well as many colleagues from work all exercise at AFS. Why? Because it works! I am most impressed by the knowledge of all members of the staff and their attention to each person's individual needs. This is the first time I have had an expert tailor workouts for both my goals as well as specific health concerns. The other unique aspect of AFS classes is each time the exercises are different so your body is constantly being challenged. I now do both the weight loss solution classes and group weight training. I can honestly say I am in better shape now than ever before in my life."
-Wendy K: Lost 8.5% Body Fat and 13lbs of Fat Mass
“After one meeting and breaking down his system I realized that his program was completely different than anything that I have tried or even heard of…. In this program I am not on a diet. I have a set number of calories that I may have in a day and in does not matter what type of food I consume….The workouts are hard but manageable. The way AFS has designed the program, a 20 year old and a 65 year old can work out in the same class and achieve their own goals. The support from ALL the classmates is fantastic. I get more out of this workout and have more fun with the 15 classmates and an instructor than I did when I was using a personal trainer."

Their scientifically-based principles of weight loss and the individualized attention provided make losing weight easy!”

The strength training program gives me the benefit of a group environment with the personal attention of the knowledgeable AFS staff. I have been a client for eight months and the progress I've made is truly remarkable. I already achieved my goals for body fat reduction/weight loss and I have started to add lean muscle mass.”
-Greg L: Lost 17.8% Body Fat and 41.8lbs of Fat Mass, while gaining 14.5 lbs of Muscle Mass.
“I had been working out at AFS for about 6 months and had reached a plateau in my weight loss. I was looking for an additional way to increase muscle definition and tone in order to improve my overall physique and strength. I started Group Strength Training and quickly noticed positive changes. I felt stronger and better about my overall health and appearance than I had ever before. One great benefit of Group Strength Training for me is that my workouts are written and supervised by a trainer during each session and tailored according to my specific goals.”
