"I officially started and became a member at The Fitness Prescription in May, since starting the Challenge here in February I have lost 43lbs. I've never lost weight in such a healthy way. I can see that I've improved overall, I noticed that by increasing my physical strength, my professional life has improved because I can physically do harder things and I can handle more challenging things in my life.
All I can say is, don't worry about what other people are doing, worry about yourself. Modify the workouts as needed but remember to push yourself because we all start in different places."
"The day I entered The Fitness Prescription, I remember thinking it was time to radically change my body. I'd never weight lifted before, but I knew I was capable of so much more than what little care I was providing for my health. For two years I had become so career-driven that I had forgotten what it was like to set personal fitness goals for myself. Within the few months I have been a part of The Fitness Prescription, I have developed different eating habits to cater to the workouts throughout the week, but having the motivation from the coaches on a daily basis is what pushes me even further. I'm eager to see where this journey of newfound strength takes me. There's no turning back now.
Thanks for the encouragement, and confidence The Fitness Prescription has provided. You truly have excellent trainers that care about seeing each individual become a better version of themselves. That means the world."


"A year ago today I joined a challenge class at The Fitness Prescription that I had seen an ad for on Facebook. I had a gym membership at that time but I was over 200 lbs and was not getting results in the typical gym setting. Especially seeing as I moved here from Minnesota so my social circle was small and lacked any gym buddies. I was eating and drinking like crap, and just felt terrible and unhappy.
In the early part of the challenge class my coach, Pamela Matew instructed us that we would be doing progressions for strict pull-ups. My big mouth said, "Who can't do a pullup!?" Pam, being the amazing coach that is, called me out on it. "Patrick is going to show all of us how to do a strict pull-up. No kicking, no reverse grip, just a wide grip strict pull-up." I failed. I couldn't do one strict pull-up. I was so embarrassed that I was either going to quit and never go back or I was going to bust my ass so I never felt that way again.
That was the relationship that developed between Pam and I over the next six weeks and now a year later. Sometimes we bumped heads, but I appreciated her and all that she did to help me on this journey.
Thank you also to Ryan, Steven, Eric, Ira, Bella, Megan and Guy! You have all helped, pushed, encouraged and got me to where I am now. I can't wait to see where I am in the coming years!"
"Working out at The Fitness Prescription has helped me to regain the confidence to live a healthier life. I work with children with cancer daily and many of my kids do not survive. I used emotional eating as a coping strategy which only caused me to gain more weight and lose my self-confidence. When I started my program, I realized that there are other ways to handle the stress/emotions. I look forward to every day to go to work out before work to get to be ready, physically and mentally. I also have created friendships with people whom I would have never met, who push me through every workout and are by my side outside of work as well."


"I started with The Fitness Prescription in December, and at that time I had a lot of goals to improve my life. I was tired of being so out of shape. I would start breathing heavy just climbing the stairs to my apartment. I was the heaviest I had ever been and I wanted a major lifestyle change. I was newly sober and felt that I needed a whole new fresh start, and I found that at The Fitness Prescription.
Since I started so much has changed in my life for the positive. When I began I wanted to quit during the warmups, my diet was crazy and I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day. Now I eat better than ever and haven’t smoked a cigarette in months. My cardio endurance is the strongest it has ever been.
My primary success since coming here is honestly just that I am happy to have found a fitness program I enjoy. I have had countless wasted gym memberships in the past, and this is definitely not one of them. I have found a way to work CrossFit into maintaining my sobriety in life as well. It’s actually become a huge part of my happiness and focus. Starting a sober life was huge for me but I was still missing something, and I have found it here working out everyday at The Fitness Prescription.
If someone were considering joining this gym, I would tell them with my experience at first it seemed like the toughest and worst thing in the world, but give it some time and it will become fun and a part of the day to look forward to."
"When I joined the Six Week Challenge at The Fitness Prescription, my percentage body fat categorized me as obese, I couldn't run a quarter mile, and I'd been yoyo dieting and failing all attempts at maintaining a regular workout routine for years. The Six Week Challenge and my time at CrossFit to follow has forever changed my life! I've dropped 14.3% body fat, am running faster and further than ever before, and have finally found the activities and super fun support group I've needed to maintain a stable, healthy lifestyle."


"When I walked through the door of The Fitness Prescription for the first time, I was at the unhealthiest point in my life. I knew I needed a drastic lifestyle change, but I was clueless on how to begin.
One year later, I'm the fittest, healthiest and happiest I've ever been! The Fitness Prescription provided the means for this to happen, and the wonderful staff and members of provided the expertise, encouragement and camaraderie to make it a reality.
"Joining this community was the best decision I have ever made. This place has changed my life. I am a new man."
"I started my journey at The Fitness Prescription in May. When I came here I was just wanting to slim down and improve my stamina, but the longer I was here my goals definitely shifted. As I went on, I definitely improved my stamina and then transitioned to a new goal of wanting to build muscle.
My primary success since being here has been my ability to put more weight on the bar than I read when I am standing on a weight scale. My advice to someone who is thinking about joining The Fitness Prescription would be to believe in yourself and your abilities to surpass your original goals and expectations, because you can definitely achieve that here like I did!"
