Testimonials

I just experienced something I felt the need to share with you.

On Friday with Mary, she suggested that I try running for 30 seconds and walk for 2 minutes then run again... and on an on. Today, I went on my walk and I ran. I ran up hills, and down hills, and long blocks, and a couple short blocks. With walking in between. I ran the last 4 blocks before I reached my house. As I turned the corner I lost it, totally just started to blubber. I have improved tremendously. I knew I had been improving, because I am feeling better and my clothes are fitting better but I RAN. I am just absolutelly amazed at how far I have come in such a short amount of time. You and your staff are amazing.

Yes, I realize I am doing the "hard work" but your staff makes it fun and I seriously look forward to coming every day.

I gave my sister her Kudos too, because without her suggestion I wouldn't be a client of Body Firm.

Thank you and see you Monday,

D.V., medical professional

When you are ready to take it to the next level at ANYTHING in life, it all starts with your self image and how you feel before you start. Your self image and how you feel every day is based on what you do to get fired up so you can take from the day and not just get through it. So, if you are ready to take it to the next level you need a partner. Body Firm has been that partner for me. As one of the Founders and the COO of Intero Real Estate Services, I have to be on my “A” game everyday and the team at Body Firm helps me do that. From my Personal Training on Monday mornings, to Yoga on Tuesday mornings, to Boot Camps on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and my Wellness and Nutrition coach, Tammy Parkinson, they have all of the bases covered. They have helped me not just take it to the next level, but they are helping me reach even higher!!!

Tammy…you and your team are AWESOME for always being accessible. It makes me feel so much more at ease. I REALLY want to achieve my goals! Thank you again! ~ Penny, Professional and mother of 3 boys

Hi Tammy, ~Again, thank you for your positive energy..I can’t emphasis how much I appreciate your help and the care you genuinely have for others to achieve their goals! ~Noelle, Corporate Asst.

If you have ever set a fitness or weight loss goal and failed to meet it, Body Firm can provide a solution. I used to set the same weight loss and nutrition goals every year for my New Year’s resolution. Not until this year, through my work with Tammy. Richard and Body Firm, have I been able to convert this vision into reality. I started with them 8 months ago with 2 boot camps a week. The highly motivational group comradery created an accountable environment that made not showing up not an option. When a boot camp session got rained out, I got a taste for in-door personal training and was hooked on the targeted results. Most recently I found my “missing link” in personalized nutrition. Nutrition had always been a challenge area for me, and with Tammy’s help I was able to slowly but surely shed body fat and build confidence in my own body image. All of these factors have allowed me to increase my energy level tremendously and has allowed me to focus my energies on the other goals that I want to tackle instead of feeling guilty for missing a work-out or for making a bad food choice. Having realized this strong level of commitment and discipline in my own personal fitness has created the proof that I needed to know that I can tackle any objective that I set my mind to.

I wanted to personally express my gratitude for what has become a life-changing experience for me, thanks to you and your incredible team at Body Firm.

As I’m sure you have heard from other clients – one day, I happened to look in the mirror – and didn’t recognize myself. It was as if I had fallen asleep for 8 months, with no clue as to how I could have changed so much without even noticing it. The (horrifying) result was an embarrassing weight gain, zero energy, low self-esteem – and the worst part – a closet that had all but locked me out, leaving me with few (and scary!) options for what could be considered ‘attire.’ I felt trapped – until I was introduced to your company and the (many) options available for people in my shoes – that’s when I actually began to believe that “I can actually change this….”

From the first day of my commitment to your personal nutrition program and the exercise routine(s) designed by you and your staff, I have been challenged, pushed, encouraged, (and sore!) – but wouldn’t give up a minute of it (now!) My trainers (aka, all sorts of pet names when they are REALLY pushing me!,) Steve & Chris – we definitely have a LOVE/HATE thing going – I LOVE to HATE them for the way they push me to the next level of strength & fitness. I have now gone way beyond the groans of waking up early, dreading the torment of training to the anticipation of feeling great during, and after my workouts.

The (interim!) result – (because there is NO way I’m quitting now!) – is 20+ pounds & 20+ inches lost in 3 &1/2 months, and a closet that is beginning to ‘grant me access’ again – I’m looking forward to my “Fat Burn Soiree” in the next 60 days (that would be the ‘barbeque’ of my scary fat clothes in my backyard fireplace!)

Tammy, I cannot begin to thank you enough for all your support & encouragement throughout this process – the nutritional counseling, combined with a dedicated & truly superior group of trainers has made all the difference in my progress – thank you for such an exceptional experience!

My energy level increases when I work out creating a feeling of happiness and success! I crave high quality foods and eat better when I am more active. Being accountable to other people increases the chances of me showing up and getting started.

Now that I have it back into my weekly routine the results are addicting. I feel better, look better and am much happier with myself! As another result my business and personal life is improving,too. I like being around other people with the same values of health, fitness and balance.

Any day I start off with a good work out is a very productive day for me!!

Thanks Tammy!!!
