Get In Shape For Women

GIS has been a second home for me for close to a year now. They have all been here for me every step of the way, for every struggle and triumph my body put me through as I tried to change the way I eat and workout. They are patient, educated, caring, fun and always available. They will get you to your goal. They are world class and I am lucky to have found them.

I have been a Get in Shape for Women client for 2 1/2 years and came from another studio to Englewood in July. I have tried so many other ways to get fit and lose weight but none of them have worked for me the way this program has. I have lost 40 lbs. and have been able to keep it off. In addition to the weight loss, I have lost bodyfat and gained muscle which has certainly helped me to build up my strength and stamina. I have never looked better or, more importantly, felt better in my life. The trainers are wonderful. They take the time to get to know each client individually and challenge them according to their abilities. The entire staff, from the owner, the manager and the trainers, is always there to greet you with a smile and give you the support and encouragement you need along the way. I cannot say enough about this program and the staff at Get In Shape for Women Englewood.

Joined a few months ago and I am really enjoying it! The facility is clean the trainers are marvelous. Daniela, Ray, and Mobina really work you hard. Not only am I getting a great workout but they also inform you on proper nutrition. I love the attention to detail when it comes to personal training. Only 4 women are trained at a time and that really allows for one-on-one communication. I highly recommend it to any woman thinking about signing up!

I can’t tell you how many gyms I joined in the past but, for one reason or the other, ended dropping out after a few months. It was so bad that when I signed up with Get in Shape for Women, my family made bets about how long I would last. Well, family, I’m on my second year and still going strong. I’m off high blood pressure medication, I have much more energy, I went down a dress size and my diet is much healthier. I’ve given a lot of thought to why I stuck with this program, and I have reached these conclusions:

Everyone at the program is wonderful to work with, from the owners to the trainers; the family-like atmosphere is such that you think you’re having fun (even when you’re in pain!). It also helps that we are all women; we don’t worry about how we look or whether or not we are wearing the latest workout fashions. The small-group workouts are challenging but not intimidating, so that someone like me who is not a natural athlete (or the most coordinated) can still do them. I only need to commit to an hour three times a week—not a whole lot of time; it also helps that the studio is only a few minutes away. The program includes a nutrition program that focuses on healthy eating, rather than dieting, so that you lose weight naturally and are more likely to keep it off.

Get in Shape for Women has been a life changing experience for me, and I look forward to many more years as a member.
