On Target Fitness Trainers

On Target Fitness is awesome! Excellent professional coaching and support. Extremely clean. Great community of folks. I have never felt better and excited to continue on my wellness journey.

Before I came to On Target Fitness, I was fairly sedentary. I was in a weight loss program and had been successful but felt I would never reach my weight loss goal until I started exercising more. I searched for the right place for me. I was 71 and had previous knee and hip replacements and my balance wasn’t great. Since I had developed a healthy eating plan, I wanted to get stronger physically. I had joined another gym in the past but I didn’t keep it up. I was embarrassed and intimidated because of my size and age. It was also very impersonal. I lacked motivation. All of that made it very easy to quit! I was intimidated when I first came to On Target Fitness and full of self doubt. When I arrived for my first Small Group Personal Training session, Doug greeted me by name when I walked in the door. He helped me sign in and showed me where my program binder was. The coaches are great! Always encouraging. They observe and correct as need be to assure you are doing each element of the workout properly. They also helped me tweak my eating plan to increase protein to help build muscle. They are willing to answer questions about nutrition, fitness and sleep. The other clients are friendly, make everyone feel welcome, and encourage one another. Yoga was new to me and even though I struggle through some of the positions, I enjoy it. For me to get up at 5AM for a 6 AM workout, it has to be a great place! It’s a gym that doesn’t just focus on exercise but on overall wellness through nutrition and fitness. My biggest win has been to see results in 6 weeks! I have gained muscle and lost body fat. My balance is improved. But I think my biggest win is that I have found a great place to work out! I’ll never be able to compete with the forty-year-olds and I’m learning to accept that. But I can work to become the best me I can be! My advice to anyone who is worried about starting: start with a six-week challenge. Within a couple of weeks, they will see what a great place it is!

I'm six weeks in and I already know joining On Target Fitness was the BEST DECISION I made for myself. When I joined On Target, I clocked in at the heaviest weight I have ever been and felt horrible physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've 'been there, done that' with many traditional gyms, trainers, and weight loss programs. Nothing I have ever experienced compares to On Target. ALL the coaches are so supportive and genuinely care about each of us. It truly feels like a family, from the coaches to my fellow members. Also, I truly believe each coach feels my successes are their successes. The core key is that they keep it simple. Make no mistake, it IS challenging but the reward absolutely outweighs it. I look forward to my sessions each morning and seeing the crew. I can't recall ever feeling that way. What I find eye-opening is that I'm not focusing on the long-term uphill battle of my weight loss. I'm starting to appreciate each day at a time and celebrating each day's progress. Such a game changer for me. At the risk of sounding a bit overdramatic, I owe Alec, Ryan, Jaye, Katie, and our entire On Target family a debt of gratitude. They have saved me. :)
