I feel better and healthier when I have a work-out regimen, but I go to the gym for 3 months and then stop.

Do you have tips to keep me motivated?

It’s important to remember that we are all responsible for finding the key to keeping ourselves motivated to exercise. What works for one may not work for another.

A gym can only provide the tools to help you. At Fit for Life we offer a Get Started Program - we assess your current fitness level and your fitness goals and design a program that meets all your needs. We offer one-on-one personal training for those who need even more motivation - the personal trainer encourages you to come out of your comfort zone and do things you would not imagine you can do. And, we also offer group classes as another avenue to keep you interested.

Our team will work with you to find the best solution to keeping you motivated to fulfill your promise to yourself.

I am often asked how to Get Started on a path to physical fitness. It usually goes something like this:

I know nothing about which exercises are right for me.  I just want to be healthier.  Do you have someone who will help me “make a plan”?

Yes!  I’ve created a “Get Started” Program that has been very popular and is the ultimate way to have a program designed specifically for you. The program includes 4 sessions with an Exercise Physiologist.

First Session

The first session includes a medical history, body fat analysis, circumference measurements, a flexibility assessment and a cardiovascular assessment performed on a treadmill to determine your current fitness level.

Second Session

The second session involves designing a cardiovascular and weight training program for you based on the results received from the assessment.

Third Session

Two weeks later we meet again to review what you’ve been doing and to add more exercises to your routine. You work independently for 2 more weeks.

Fourth Session

We meet for our 4th session to review, add new exercises to your routine, review goals and reassess. Everything is outlined for you.

It’s easy, it’s effective and it’s designed specifically for you.  Come see me and I’ll help you “Get Started”.

Lack of motivation to exercise is many times related to inexperience… not knowing what to do to get started. Getting from point A (home) to point B (the “gym”) is often the hardest part.

Get Started Program

At Fit for Life we offer a Get Started Program, an instructional based program where you are taught what to do, your program is designed specifically for you and you carry it out on your own. You know what you’ll be doing every time to come to the gym … the perfect motivator.

Personal Trainer

If you struggle on your own, try Personal Training. You work side by side with a professional trainer who designs each session for you based on your current fitness level and provides motivation throughout your entire workout.

Group Programs

If you prefer to work out with a group, we offer a variety of Group Programs at Fit for Life. The possibilities are endless and we at Fit for Life are here to help you get motivated to become a healthier you!
