What's the Secret of The Fitness Together South Florida Personal Training Studios? Clients of Fitness Together South Florida Personal Trainers come for many reasons. Some come for weight loss, others for motivation, and some for strength, but an overall trend is that our clients come to us and stick with us for a combination of factors that make up the unique Fitness Together concept. Here is what your neighbors have to say about Fitness Together Personal Trainers. |

Hi Wendy, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and to let you know how great your personal training staff is at your Ft. Lauderdale location. Meghan, Alex and Mike have been very supportive of my new fitness program. Your flexible hours and well trained staff allow me to take care of my fitness needs within my very hectic schedule. When I was younger, I was very active in sports and fitness. Then like so many people, life happened. I met my husband 15 years ago. He is a wonderful cook and I have managed to add 5 pounds a year since we met. (Not very nice math!) Also, the adoption process for our son took over two years and I ate like I was expecting for the entire time. I needed a program that fit the schedule of a working Mom, kept me accountable and kept me motivated. I have found that with your personal training team. During the first month I have dropped a clothing size, my energy has increased and I am so motivated by the changes I am seeing. Thank you for all you do! Sincerely, Barbara Siciliano, Fort Lauderdale |

I have now been a client of Fitness Together – Pembroke Pines for about 5 months. I have lost over 40 pounds and I can’t believe how amazing I feel! My team of trainers push me beyond what I could ever make myself do and they hold me accountable for all of my actions and daily nutrition. Without Fitness Together trainers waiting for me to show up to my appt, I would never workout. Losing those pounds has made me so confident about myself and everything I am doing. My brother Orel and I recently began a record label, ORB Muzik, and by losing weight I can go out and market myself and my company with more confidence. I have had to buy an entire new wardrobe and I couldn’t believe what size I had dropped down to. I want to thank Meaghan and her staff for helping me get closer to my goal and helping me become a more confident and healthy person. I look forward to continuing my transformation process with Fitness Together Pembroke Pines. We are now focusing on reducing my percent of body fat while increasing muscle mass – and I focus less on the number on the scale now. I highly recommend Fitness Together if you are serious about getting results – it is well worth it! JP, Vice President, ORB Muzik, Inc. |

I finally found my home away from home. The personal trainers at Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines are the most experienced and educated that I have ever found. I wanted to do specific core training and actually shopped around to a couple of other personal training studios and they only did traditional weight lifting. These guys are the real deal. They have the right kinds of Functional Training Equipment to actually address my core specifically. I am going there 4 times a week. They work around my schedule. I don't have to work around theirs. And it is affordable. I am absolutely in love with the personal training philosophy at The Pembroke Pines Fitness Together. Thank you for opening in my neighborhood. I would highly encourage anyone who hasn't tried them to ask for a consultation. Sincerely, Shawn Early – Pembroke Pines |

“I joined Fitness Together Pembroke Pines Personal Trainers just over 1 week ago. I now workout every morning for at least 1 hour. My days before joining Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines consisted of me waking up late, eating once or twice a day, and then going to work until 11 pm. My last or sometimes only meal would be at 11:30pm before I went to bed. Now I am waking up early, working out regularly, and eating well. My personal trainer, Meaghan Vecchia who is also one of the owners of Fitness Together Pembroke Pines, sure challenges and motivates me. I feel alive again, more alert, more responsive, and if I miss a day I do not feel right. Thanks, Meaghan and the rest of the personal trainers at Fitness Together Pembroke Pines, FL. It’s a new beginning – and a Great One!” Heidi, working mom, Pembroke Pines, FL |

I had been working out for months on my own and with an average trainer in a large gym in order to be at a healthy wait to get pregnant. My success was minimal. I was very frustrated. A friend suggested I try Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines. In a last ditch attempt, I signed on with the FT Personal Trainers and had amazing results! I need that one-on-one support, and to be in a private setting as opposed to a big gym makes all the difference in the world. My personal trainer, Meaghan Vecchia, was so knowledgeable and motivating. She provided me with guidance not only on exercise, but nutrition as well. I lost the weight I needed to lose, and then some. Now, with my pregnancy behind me, I am back with Fitness Together’s Personal Trainers to shed that "baby weight." I know that I will have success the second time around. I would recommend Fitness Together in Pembroke Pines, Fl without hesitation. Danielle T., Plantation, FL |

So you know how the gyms today entice you with the words “personal trainer?” You know the deal, you walk in, they bring in this gorgeous Zeus-like looking person who says, “You will be spending 45 minutes with me, and I promise when you’re done you will have the amazing body you have always wanted.” So I bit and became discouraged and disappointed. I live in Denver (Florida only in the winter). Not too far from my Denver home was a Fitness Together sign: 1-Client, 1-Trainer, 1-Goal. I had passed this place a million times. I decided to walk in and inquire about their programs. I knew within 5 minutes I had found the program for me. The trainers were personable, knowledgeable, friendly and non-judgmental. I knew I had finally found trainers who cared about me as a person, which is why I maintain my program at the Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale during the winter months that I am here. Fitness Together’s motto is 1 Client, 1 Trainer, 1 Goal. In those 45 minutes they live up to every word. My trainers make my session fun and challenging. I see my trainer 3 times per week and not only feel better overall both physically and emotionally, but the training session is never boring as the individual sessions are geared to your specific needs. This has been a great experience for me and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who is serious about changing workout habits, muscle toning, and losing weight.

There's no comparison between a typical exercise club, gym or personal training studio and the experience at Fitness Together - Fort Lauderdale. I've been working out for several years and at one point I actually injured myself doing it on my own. The one-on-one approach at Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale is helping me to achieve my goals and even live a better lifestyle. My workouts are guided by experts to achieve better coordination, definition and balance. I go to Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale 3 -4 times a week. Having a Personal Trainer is much more motivating than doing it on your own. I feel I am getting more than my money's worth. I've even referred a bunch of my friends. Nick Montgomery, Business Owner |

The Story - There I was, 42 years old and fatter than I had ever been in my life. I had tried everything to lose weight, you name it, and I tried it. I had been a client of Fitness Together for a year or so and had been working out but I guess I thought that working out meant I could eat what I wanted and my body would miraculously burn it off. My trainer, Fabiola, had been trying to get me to watch my diet and work out more frequently. I would say, “Yea, yea, I will.” Then the challenge came – the Team at Fitness Together made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. They promised me that if I would work and eat sensibly, I would achieve the results I was looking for. I started “the challenge” on December 4th and worked for twelve weeks, until March 12th, two days after my 43rd birthday. I ate right and exercised as instructed by the Team at Fitness Together. The end result, I was thinner on my 43rd birthday than I had been in 14 years; I lost 45 pounds. I’m still working but the great news is I have maintained the weight loss. The lesson – there is no magic pill that will make weight disappear. I needed to change my lifestyle, eat sensibly and exercise (not a dirty word anymore). There is no looking back now; I’m healthier and look better than I have in years – nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Fitness Together. Oh and by the way I am now one of the owners of Fitness Together Parkland. Rita Munoz, Client - Owner |

When I started working out at Fitness Together I was 267 lbs and growing. I have now lost over 60 lbs and am still working on losing weight and gaining muscle to reach my ultimate goal. I recently had my annual checkup and my overall health has never been better, dropping the excess weight has benefits so far beyond our physical appearance I believe it adds years to our lives and the quality of our lives. I have always known that we get out of things exactly what we put into them. Working out for me now is not just about reaching a goal but maintaining it and developing a lifestyle to support it ... it's a long term approach to health. I have four children and they put serious demands on my time. The best time for me to exercise is early morning, actually very early in the morning say 6am. My trainer has been there for me every step of the way, 3 times a week at 6am always pushing and challenging me to get to that next level. I push myself pretty hard but she has been such a great source of inspiration and guidance and I know I would not have had this kind of success without her. It's great to know that when you're ready to put the effort into it your trainer will be there for you. The studio environment really makes a difference in the training. The focus of the trainer and the ability to move to the next machine without waiting for it to come free means that you get the most from your workouts. The privacy of the one on one training approach also ensures that interruptions are kept to a minimum which again helps get the most out of training. I really value time with family and I have to thank the team at Fitness Together for giving me the ability to enjoy my family time more. The fact that I can work out this early in the morning means more time with family and my improved health allows me to really enjoy my kids. I've truly enjoyed this experience and am looking forward to continued success. Colin Auld |

"I’m the last person who ever thought I would need a personal trainer. I participated in high school and collegiate athletics and always considered myself in pretty good shape. However, once I joined the “real” world, I found it more and more challenging to find time to work out on my own. Now that I’ve been working out with Nicole at Fitness Together in Coconut Grove, I’ve been able to reach fitness results that I wasn’t even able to achieve when I was younger. Nicole is very passionate and committed to her profession and her enthusiasm makes me more motivated to train. Having a personal trainer is one of the best investments that I have made!" Dave Beyer, Miami Heat Dave has lost 6% body fat, gained 7lbs of muscle, and lost 16lbs of fat. |

"The biggest challenge I had to overcome was talking myself into getting moving instead of sitting around doing nothing. I think the biggest surprise is discovering what strength feels like and what strength does to enhance every part of my life. I have energy to do things instead of feeling tired and overwhelmed all the time. I have gone from not being able to run on a treadmill for more than three minutes to now being able to run over a full mile without stopping- this happened in about 6 weeks. So I know I’m changing and improving my overall health and strength, which will keep me young and active." Beth Counsil, Controller, Miami |

"I have worked out for many years, and have worked with personal trainers on and off over the years. I have never been able to commit to a personal trainer or a fitness program as it was usually very disappointing. I started w/Nick at Fitness Together in Coconut Grove because I truly wanted to see real results in a period of time versus going to the gym all the time and basically maintaining, w/no visible improvement. At Fitness Together Coconut Grove I do not waste my time waiting for people or equipment, nor socializing. I go, get the best, physical workout in a private studio, and leave. Everyone's time is precious, and the Fitness Together Personal Training team has allowed me to truly prioritize my fitness routine within my lifestyle, without any compromises." Kim Rodriguez, Mom/Class Representative Kim has lost 5 lbs of fat and decreased her body fat by 4%. |

“I would typically never ‘advertise’ for anyone, but I wanted to personally let you know about the "little jewel" I found in South Miami. I thought it would be great to share my experience with all of you. I have been working out and active for years and have gone through several private trainers. My closest friend started looking amazing and I asked her what she was doing and she introduced me to her private trainer. This trainer is not like other trainers I have had ( and I have had many). I have seen amazing results. Several patients have asked me what I was doing and what diet I was on. I wanted to share this wonderful "jewel" with you all. His name is Scott Baumann of Fitness Together in South Miami. He has changed my body in only 3 weeks and I have never felt better. I highly recommend this trainer and his fitness coaches to everyone.” - Dania Alonzo DMD |

"I hate crowded gyms (university, public, etc.)and had given up on the idea of finding a fitness routine that I could stick to, enjoy and get real results from. Then I met Scott Baumann at local festival in Coconut Grove; and as soon as I started talking to him I instantly sensed two things, 1) the idea of Fitness Together -- 1 Trainer, 1 Client, 1 Goal -- could work for me, and 2) Scott genuinely cares about the progress of his clients. He called me to follow-up and since that day, four months ago, has always encouraged me to move forward towards my fitness goals, one step at a time. I am honored and grateful to have been one of Fitness Together at Sunset's first clients. And grateful that I met Scott that day. The moment I walked in for my first training session, I knew it really wasn't a regular, crowded gym but a small, private studio where your trainer focuses exclusively on you during your session and takes the time to teach you about your program so that you understand the process and program that their team have designed for you. It soon became clear and very reassuring that Scott cares as much about my fitness progress and success as I do! I can honestly say that the excellent training I have gotten with Scott has not only improved my physical well-being but has also changed my outlook on living a healthy balanced life, overall. It is always such a pleasure to show up at the studio and see everyone there. Not to mention the fabulous facilities -- it feels like the kind of attention and amenities a celebrity might expect! I can't recommend Fitness Together strongly enough. I will be a member for life!" - Samantha Whitcraft |

Alex & Wendy, I want to thank you and your team for your help so far. Since I started with Fitness Together nearly a month ago I have lost 12lbs. and gained a lot of muscle. FT is exactly what I needed! I hate working out in front of a lot of other people and waiting for a machine to open. I also couldn’t tell you specific workouts that would help me lose weight and gain muscle. Your personalized service, semi-private workout rooms and dedicated trainers are keeping me going when it gets tough and I am exhausted. I plan on losing 30 more Lbs and with your help I will!

Getting Ripped and Ready!! So I am your typical guy...totally in shape in high school and through college...then "life" set in. Working till I dropped, marriage, children. All of a sudden, I had "no time for anything". On top of my regular 9-5 job as an Art Director for a magazine, I also work nights and weekends on other graphic design projects. My time is worth a lot and there is little of it...then it happened...my wife got pregnant. And apparently SO DID I! She was always a pretty healthy person but all of a sudden she had cravings for ice cream every night and mozzarella sticks every day. She begged me to join her because she "didn't want to gorge alone". So of course being a supportive husband, I obliged. Problem was that she actually HAD the baby and I didn't! Long story short, I was left feeling a little less than healthy and exhausted to boot. THEN I found Fitness Together.... I had always wanted a personal trainer but I thought who could afford that? I have a family to support after all. But then my wife and I realized that I needed to be as healthy as possible to continue the great life that I had finally created for myself. I was so surprised to find out how reasonable the prices were at Fitness Together Fort Lauderdale, so I decided to give it a try. I had to carve out 90 minutes 3 times a week from a quite packed schedule as it was. But with my friends and family's support, it was the BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. From the first personal training work out, I immediately felt different. I automatically had this sense of pride that I was actually doing something for myself that would make a huge impact in my life in the long run. Then lo and behold, I started to really enjoy it. Sure, it was tough getting trained - there is no opportunity for cheating when you have a personal trainer standing over you counting out your reps. but the almost immediate results motivated me more and more and more....I have been a personal training client for about 6 weeks and the results in my body are amazing. My jeans are falling off of me. I have better muscular strength than I ever have in my life. And most importantly, I am really proud that I finally got off the couch and started being responsible for my well being. I am so thankful that I made the decision to join Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale. The personal trainers are amazing, funny and supportive. They have made a change in my life that I will always have and always appreciate. Now that my wife is talking about having another baby, I am ready for the challenge in every respect!!! Thanks Fitness Together Fort Lauderdale! You guys are the best! Michael M., Oakland Park, Florida |

August 04, 2008 Dear Wendy, As you know, over the past six weeks I have been working with your excellent staff of personal trainers at the FT Fort Lauderdale facility. I have to say that all of my concerns and fears were put to ease the minute I walked into your office. A little bit of background here may help you to understand my comments. I have been an athlete all of my life. I was in a special operations unit in the military and when discharged at age 30 was in optimum fitness condition. A college education of 6.5 years and marriage took me away from my fitness routines; as a result I awoke one morning and looked in the mirror at a slightly overweight and terribly out of shape 48 year old male. I decided to do something about the problem and began researching gyms in the area. I thought I knew how to train but have only discovered how much I did not know. I knew that in the state I was in I would not feel comfortable going into a facility where everyone there was in good shape and working out already to a level far beyond where I would be. Embarrassment could only prevent success at this point. It was clear I had to get into shape to even begin training on my own; I knew I needed professional help. Being a professional problem solver in my daily job, I knew how to seek out help where needed. Thank god I found Fitness Together Fort Lauderdale when my internet browser came up from my search for Personal Trainers. The staff from the very minute I walked in made me feel comfortable and relaxed. There was no high pressure sales pitch like you get at all of the local gyms and health clubs. Wendy, the single biggest reason I will continue to use your staff is their concern for my growth and overall well being. Over the past six weeks I have developed both physically, and mentally. I have made five new friends who share a common goal and I now look forward to my three workouts each week with Alex, Cameron, Mike, Ryan and all of the Personal Training staff. Your personal trainers have helped me grow in so many ways, that they are not even aware of, at this time. I absolutely would, without a doubt recommend your facility to anyone looking to get into shape, or improve upon themselves in any manner. I want to say a personal thank you to all of your personal training staff and my new friends at Fitness Together Fort Lauderdale. Without all of you I am sure I would be ok, but that is it I would just be OK and that is not me , as all of you well know by now, Thank you for all that you continue to do for me. The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday… I look forward to continuing together with Fitness Together Fort Lauderdale Personal Trainers for a better me... Sincerely, R. Jeffery Bailey, Sr. Project Manager |

Training in fitness together Fort Lauderdale for a year, I managed to lose over 80 lb, went from a tight fit in my size 26 pants to a loose 16 and regained the energy that I must have to deal with three children under the age of three. I trained with Meaghan until she moved to Pembroke Pines and continued with Erin at the Fort Lauderdale location. Both had developed a training program that while challenging felt totally doable. They focused on my needs and abilities and provided guidance and encouragement. While I was never one (and probably) will never be a person that likes exercise I no longer think of it as a chore. And now for the unthinkable; I am planning to do a triathlon next year!!!. MC, Fort Lauderdale Florida |

Like a lot of people I have the basics at home, a treadmill and weight machine. However, since I am relying on myself to keep a commitment to using it, nothing ever gets done. For me, personal progress requires accountability. Whether it is contributing to a project at work, or losing 5% body fat. This is why having a set appointment everyday at Fitness Together in Fort Lauderdale with my personal trainers has been so rewarding. This is not a regular gym, nor training system. Here you get detailed health and fitness reports every 6 weeks on your progress, instead of just chasing your weight around a scale. The Personal Trainers log everything you do, so everyone is on the same page and no time is ever wasted during your routine. Most importantly, everyone at the studio is extremely knowledgeable and certified. Their training style has worked for me, and my friends have noticed. In fact several of them are now new clients at FT Fort Lauderdale. Will Gilbert, Fort Lauderdale |
