“Rob completely Reshaped his Body by Losing 60lbs of Body Fat & Building 20lbs of Muscle in Only 9 months!” Listen to what Rob has to say about us…

“I was initially hesitant to commit to a personal training regimen, believing that self-motivation and a shiny gym membership card were all I needed to get in shape. I had also tried personal training before, which was included in my various gym memberships. These prior experiences were nowhere near as motivating and enjoyable as my experiences with Owner Mark Hill and Lead Trainer Lynn Carpenter at Lifestyles Fitness.

When I first met Mark, he sensed this hesitation and took the time to answer all of my questions in detail regarding finances, his overall approach to personal training, and fitness in general. Mark is personable, honest, direct and confident about the service he offers. His training style is upbeat and motivating. My own experience is that if you commit to his program he will offer the same commitment back to you… and then some. Mark truly cares about and invests in the success of his clients.

Committing to Lifestyles Fitness personal training is one of the best decisions of my life. The money I formally spent on junk food and stocking my fridge with the wrong things is now going towards health and fitness, which has brought about significant weight loss, increased muscle, and renewed energy and self-confidence. What a great deal for me! I couldn’t have done it without Mark Hill and Lifestyles Fitness. Thank you!”

“I never thought I would allow anyone to post my “fat picture” on the internet, but here I am! I have done so only because I am thrilled with what Mark and the staff at Lifestyles Fitness have done for me, and to thank them I wanted to give something back.

Here’s my story:

I was lucky. For most of my life I have not had to worry about my weight. From college until my late forties, my weight stayed within a couple of pounds of 123. I worked out intermittently, but basically I didn’t have to put much effort into looking good in my clothes.

Then, in my late forties, seemingly almost over night, everything changed. I started putting on weight slowly but steadily until I didn’t recognize myself. Because I never had to worry about it, I really had no idea how to lose weight, get fit and maintain it all once I was successful. So I tried everything –diets, gyms, a treadmill and weights at home–but nothing worked. Even if I was successful in losing a few pounds, I couldn’t maintain it.

I did some research and learned that people who are successful at losing weight usually have failed many times until they find a solution that works for them. So I analyzed why I had failed so often and what it took for me to be successful. I quickly realized that I am someone who needs structure, who values the skills an expert can offer, and that I prefer to work one-one-one rather than in a group. Based on this, I realized that I would be most successful in a private gym where I could work out with a trainer surrounded by people like me (that is, not in terrific shape and looking to socialize more than work out).

I selected Lifestyles Fitness as a place to try out my new-found understanding, and I am so glad I did! In about five months, with relative ease, I have been able to get back into shape and feel comfortable in my clothes (and along the way I learned that I needed to let go of fixating on weighing 123 pounds again). I am stronger, leaner and healthier than I have been in a long time. Even though I now weigh more than I did when I met him 20 years ago, but husband says I have never looked better.

Mark and his staff are amazing. They are all experts on exercise and weight loss, and they create specialized programs based on an individual’s fitness and health concerns that are interesting, varied, and fun. On my own, I would never be creative enough to develop such diverse activities nor would ever in a million years pushed myself to do more, get strong and show up regularly. Honestly, there is no way I could have accomplished this without them.

In this New Year, I am planning to work with Mark, Lynn and Ron to lower my body fat percentage. In five months I’ve already decreased it by 20%. By goal is to decrease it by another 20% so that by my one year anniversary (next July), I can put on that swimsuit I swore would never see the light of day!

If this is the year, you are committing to getting healthy, losing weight and feeling good about yourself, I strongly recommend that you try out Mark and the staff at Lifestyles Fitness. I guarantee that you will be glad that you did.”

“Ok, so if your reading this trying to decide if Lifestyles Fitness is right for you, I will tell that this will be an easy decision; it is the absolute BEST decision I made!!!! I understand apprehension about hiring a trainer, the commitment, and the “I wonder if I will be able to do it” feeling, that was me 6 months ago. Not anymore, I am healthier, stronger, and more confident today than probably any other time in my life. We all have the power to change our lives; you just have to believe in your ability to do so and be committed to doing it. I found my power and there is no turning back – EVER!!!! Mark’s knowledge and passion for what he does is inspiring, it is what made me sign up immediately; and my journey just kept getting better! I have had the privilege of working with the rest of the trainers and they are AWESOME!!! All of them really show they care about me and seeing me reach my goals. I look forward to working out! The workouts are always different and challenging, and it is always about positive motivation and encouragement. So it really just comes down to this, are you committed? If you are, then I say you have the winning combo because you just found the best trainers around!!!”

My name is Dr. Steve Enriquez and everyone who knows me is aware that I am a huge fan of health & fitness. But honestly, I so wrapped up in my practice that I fell into that typical pattern of working out a little here and there and then started to eat the wrong foods. The result was I gained fat, started to look puffy and in my mind I felt “sloppy”.

Then I got to know Mark Hill of Lifestyles Fitness Personal Training. I‘ve always worked out but never hired a personal trainer until Mark convinced me to give it a go. After my very first workout, all I could say was, “Wow!”

As knowledgeable as I thought I was, Mark’s workout was incredible! It was creative, challenging and I knew I was experiencing a brand new level of fitness. Every week was different and I felt muscles that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Besides that, I was making impressive gains in Strength while losing Fat ! (The best of both worlds) In only 9 weeks I slashed my body fat by 6.25 % while trimming 16lbs of fat off my body. I could see more definition in my arms, chest, and abs than I have seen in 6 years!

Thanks to Lifestyles Fitness, their innovative fitness programs & straight forward nutrition plan allowed me to get back the body that I thought had become something of the past.

“It’s all about improvement and small changes”; that’s what my wife and I call my diet. A little over 2 years ago I decided to improve the quality of my life by trying to lose weight (at one time I tipped the scales at more than 400 pounds). I started by reducing the amount of food I ate and I also started substituting low calorie and low-fat foods wherever I could. I stopped eating red meat and I focused on eating fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken & fish.

After a few months, I realized that in order to be successful I also needed to exercise regularly. In the beginning, I could only exercise 5 minutes at a time on a stationary bike. After a few weeks I was able to exercise 24 minutes at a time. Since then I increase my intensity and time a little each month. I give myself one day off every week from my diet, but I have not missed a day of physical exercise in over 2 years. Currently, I exercise at least an hour every day either on a stationary bike or I ride my bicycle more than 21 miles (in addition to my fitness program at Lifestyles Fitness).

When I went to buy a new exercise bike a little over a year ago, the salesman recommended Mark Hill and Lifestyles Fitness to help me get in better shape. When I first met Mark Hill I told him that I didn’t think I was in good enough shape to go to a personal trainer. Mark told me that personal training is for everyone and that he would customize a fitness program just for me. My fitness program at Lifestyles Fitness has a good balance of high intensity cardio exercise and weight lifting. Every week we have a different theme where we work on strength, endurance and building muscle along with burning fat.

I now realize that my fitness program at Lifestyles Fitness was the best investment that I have ever made in myself! Even though I was having good results on my own, my fitness program at Lifestyles Fitness has taken me to a higher level than I was able to achieve on my own. I am proud of my accomplishment losing more than 210 pounds and thanks in large part to Lifestyles Fitness my self image is better than it has ever been. The hardest part of any fitness program is getting started. Anyone can get the same results I have had if they stay focused and work on small changes, but if you really want results I would recommend Lifestyles Fitness to help you get in shape today!”

“I walked into Lifestyles Fitness overweight, out of shape, and always tired. After only 3 months of training and following their nutrition plan (not a diet), I have lost 20 lbs, I am stronger and have tons of energy, and I lost 6 inches off my waist! And the other day I ran into a friend that I haven’t seen in a few years and he couldn’t believe it was me! He was blown away by the way I looked and it felt great to hear it!”
