“After finding out the wonderful news I was pregnant, I wanted to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for my baby and myself. I was able to train throughout most my pregnancy because of Arin’s prenatal knowledge and expertise. Arin compiled workouts for me that was both safe and effective while I was pregnant.

I gained 25 pounds during my pregnancy and had an easy, quick labor. The doctor that delivered my baby even asked if I had been working out! I began postpartum training with Arin six weeks after my baby was born. I started working out with Arin two times a week.

I am already back to my pre-pregnancy weight and more defined than prior to being pregnant. I couldn’t have seen these results without Arin and Transformation.”

“I’m a music and sports fanatic who let the sedentary lifestyle of a desk job get the best of me. I was athletic in the past, but out of my league in terms of the goals I wanted to achieve.

I reached out to Transformation Fitness and Wellness to help leverage their expertise into realizing the lifestyle and fitness I wanted for myself.  I had a goal to reach 200lbs and it was accomplished.

The support at Transformation Fitness and Wellness was exceptional and their knowledge and encouragement helped keep me motivated. I would absolutely recommend using TFW for any fitness related service.”

Started: April 30, 2010 bodyweight 270lbs and 31.6 % body fat.
Now: February 17, 2011 bodyweight 200lbs and 19.3 % body fat.

“When I got engaged in March of ’08 I knew that I really wanted to do everything that I could to feel beautiful on my wedding day.  My main focus was of course to feel wonderful in my wedding dress!  I wanted to lose a few pounds but more importantly I wanted to lean out and lose body fat.

Tony helped me do just that!  About four months before the wedding we took my body measurements and discussed what my goals were.  We discussed a healthy diet that would be suitable for me and he designed each workout toward my goals.

He provided the tools, knowledge and encouragement that I needed.  Each week he would ask me how I was feeling and how my nutrition was.  This really helped me to stay focused.  We also set a date the week before the wedding to retake my measurements.

With Tony’s help I was able to achieve my goals!  I lost 8 pounds and dropped 4% body fat and decreased my hip region by a ½ inch.  These results required my dress to be taken in 2 sizes and this allowed me to feel beautiful on my wedding day!”

“My Transformation has been more than I could have asked for.  I’ve lost close to 20 pounds and went from 27% body fat to 22%.  Plus, I no longer have problems with my lower back.

Along with that, I’ve become a lot less lazy about working out and have started to run again.  Before Transformations, I would run 2-3 miles at about a 10-12 minute pace.  Now I don’t feel like I have run at all if I don’t go at least 3.5 miles.

Which comes a lot faster considering I finished a 5K race this month in 25 minutes.  I also signed up to run the Mini Marathon this year and am actually looking forward to the training, which I never would have said before I started training with Transformation.

Aside from the weight loss and running, I’ve also noticed my appearance, strength, and energy level has drastically changed.  The support from my trainer, Randy, has been great.  He does a great job of mixing up the workouts so I never know what I’m going to be doing and that helps the training to not become monotonous.

I would recommend anybody who is looking to feel better, and gain better overall health to Transformation.  It’s a great environment to train in and educate yourself on how to do so.”

“Like every year, I resolved in early 2008 that this was going to be the year that I would actually get in shape, exercise consistently, etc, etc. But unlike every year in the past, I actually took an important step toward meeting those goals – I contacted the professional at Transformation Fitness and Wellness and began training with Arin every week. And now, a year later, and for the first year in my life, I can actually say I kept my New Year’s Resolution! I consistently trained with Arin throughout 2008 and met all of my fitness goals: I ran the Mini-Marathon in May, I hiked Knobstone Trail in June, and toned my flabby arms. For me, working with Arin has meant having the accountability and encouragement to keep going and to make fitness a part of my weekly routine. So this year, in January 2009, I’m setting my fitness goals, knowing that I’ll be able to meet them again with Arin’s guidance and encouragement.”

“I started working out with Transformation in March of 2008 and weighed 201lbs. I was feeling proud of myself for already losing 74lbs, but I knew that I needed to start exercising to keep losing weight and tone my body. Since starting with Transformation I have lost an additional 25lbs and inches off my body. I now have muscle definition and my skin is starting to tighten up. I have much more energy and endurance. I can go for long walks and climb stairs without losing my breath. I have learned about healthy eating habits and how to take better care of myself. Exercising has become a priority and something that I enjoy and look forward to. I enjoy my training sessions, the personal attention, and motivation that I receive with Transformation. I have not reached the end of my weight loss journey and have more toning that needs to be done, but I couldn’t be happier with my body and my progress. Working out with Transformation has been one of the best gifts I could give to my body and the education I have received has positively and permanently changed my outlook on my health”

“Prior to hiring Transformation Fitness and Wellness as my fitness provider, I had chronic back pain, minimal flexibility, and was overweight. In my past I was a competitive athlete and the competition caused a lot of damage to my body. The methods I was using to train myself were not working the way I wanted and I knew it was time to enlist some professional help. I contacted Tony from Transformation Fitness and Wellness and he listened to me regarding my fitness goals and we developed a program designed to reach my goals while working around my chronic back pain. We have been working towards my goals for one year and I have dropped 4 % body fat while increasing lean muscle, my posture is much improved, my joints feel much better, and I have very little back pain. I won’t say that getting to this point was easy; I have worked very hard with Tony. I have pushed myself past points I did not think were possible, but it has been worth it! I look forward to setting new goals with Tony, and working toward these goals together. I would recommend Transformation Fitness and Wellness to anyone who wishes to have professional, knowledgeable Trainers who will customize workouts and set safe and realistic wellness goals based on you. They will not set up cookie cutter programs that anyone can use. They will listen to your needs and work around you’re limitations to obtain the goals you desire.”

“After being on Medifast nutrition program for eight months I have lost 47 pounds and five inches off of my waist and five inches off my neck. I have also decreased my blood pressure medication and stopped taking my water pill.”
“In the past I have tried several weight loss programs. Nutrisystem, fad diets, protein diets, and others, but Medifast is the only one that works.”
“It is a challenge to plan the green meals and possibilities are great with all you are permitted to eat.”
“At my age, 86 year old, I am not as active as young people but with patience you can accomplish your goals.”

“Being a family physician, I was fully aware of what it would take to live a healthy lifestyle. I am always being asked about how to lose weight, and improve one’s health, and of course, I always had an answer. But, unfortunately, it became apparent that my actions did not follow my words of advice, and I found myself overweight and out of shape at the age of 32. Who wants to be given advice from their family physician when he is unable to match his own words? This became very apparent in my practice, and yet, I wasn’t changing it. I was in a normal American rut, in that I thought I was not eating enough to be gaining weight, and I was even working out for what I thought at the time was enough. To my frustration, it wasn’t working, and instead my health gradually became worse, even to the point that my blood pressure was rising, and I was at a strong risk for becoming diabetic. That is, until I combined the benefits of the “Take Shape for Life” weight loss program, along with the encouragement and knowledge that Transformation Fitness and Wellness offered me with their exercise programs. In a matter of months, I lost 42 lbs., and improved my strength to that when I was in college. But, more importantly, I’ve gained my health back, learned what having true energy during the day was like, and overall feel better about myself. I could not have done this without becoming part of Transformation Fitness and Wellness, and for that, I thank them with all my heart. I now have normalized my blood pressure, am no longer at risk of diabetes, and only have one new problem that exists. I don’t have enough clothes that fit me any longer.”

“Prior to working out with Tony at Transformation Fitness, my workout experience had not been very effective and I found myself doing the same old thing getting the same old results. Tony brings a tremendous amount of experience, energy and enthusiasm to the workouts. Through working out with him two to three times a week, combined with running and learning to eat healthy, I’ve dropped almost 30 pounds and four dress sizes!  He keeps me motivated, educated, and shows genuine interest and concern towards my fitness goals.  Arin is also just as enthusiastic and educated as Tony.  Her Boot Camp sessions KICKED MY BUTT!  I enjoyed it so much that I bought a package for my husband.  Thank you Tony and Arin for making a healthier and happier me!”

“A year after my son was born I became extremely discouraged when the weight didn’t disappear. My body changed so I wanted to work with a professional who would motivate and teach me how to safely get back into shape. Not only was I able to reach my goal weight, but I also noticed how much more strength and energy I gained. At Transformation Fitness and Wellness I really like how the staff interacts with their clients and how they keep you informed.”

- Kim Zehr

“I have always been active but working 9-5 in a cubicle was doing no favors for my waistline. My old means of working out and dieting was not working anymore. I decided I needed professional help, so I contacted Transformation Fitness and Wellness. I wanted to lose weight and lean up. I’ve done both! I’m down two clothing sizes and I lost my pooch! There is no wiggling or shaking where there shouldn’t be anymore. I needed someone to motivate me and Stephen did that. Plus I got results after week one so that is motivation enough to keep working!”

- Erin Lamb

“I contacted Transformation Fitness and Wellness originally for boot camp but after discussing my cardio routine and the results I was seeking, I decided on personal training. I’ve definitely noticed a change in clothing size and feel like I’m able to maintain it, I am also down 4% body fat. Sarah has been great! She spends time planning different workouts and consistently advances them. She makes herself available throughout the week for questions on diet, etc.”

- Nancy Gibbs

“I am 45 and was not happy with my physical self. I needed to lose weight and I didn’t want to have bariatric surgery. A friend recommended I try Transformation Fitness and Wellness. I am stronger, more self-confident and one size smaller! Sarah is very supportive and she doesn’t let me slack off. She gave me better food choices and answered all my questions.”

- Tina Cones

“My goal was to gain muscle tone, strength, and endurance.  I am now much stronger than I was when I began the program.  My measurements decreased significantly I lost 2 inches around my waist in 4 weeks!  Also I am running farther and with greater ease than I ever have.  Andrea, my trainer is great!  I really enjoy the variety she incorporates into my workouts.  I never get bored and never know what to expect.  I would recommend Transformation Fitness  and Wellness to everyone.  It’s a fun place to workout with friendly people and great trainers that get real results.”

“I utilized Transformation Fitness and Wellness because I was ready to lose some weight and I really felt like I needed some professional assistance in order to meet my goals. Before I started at TFW I saw myself as a bit over weight and I was ready to look and feel better about myself. I am only 24 and I felt like now was the perfect time to work on my fitness instead of putting it off. I started out at 156 and now I’m at 142 and am finally starting to appreciate my body. I’d like to lose more but the important thing is that I can finally fell alright when I look in the mirror. I’m very self conscious and Sarah makes me forget that by pointing out the positives. She answers any questions I may have and she is very patient. I try and take everything she says and use it when I’m on my own.”

“I originally came to Tony for lower back pain. He has helped me control my back pain along with increasing my muscle tone. I would recommend utilizing Transformation Fitness and Wellness to increase your quality of life.”

“I am 64 years old.  I had been a runner but, to my surprise, discovered that running wasn’t sufficient to protect against osteoporosis so I started doing weight bearing exercises at home.  My husband gave me a gift of three training sessions with Tony.  He had picked out Tony from a number of other personal trainers because he saw that Tony was very focused on each person he trained.  So I started working out with Tony when I was 60 and was immediately hooked. I have been with him ever since.  When Tony opened his own place, there was no way I wasn’t going with him. I asked him to be sure and save me a training time.

My goals were simple: consistently do strength training exercises to stave of osteoporosis and stay free of medicines; improve balance; and continue to be pushed to increase my strength.  With Tony’s help, I have met all these goals.  I went from being osteopenic to not being osteopenic; my balance is improved; and my arm and leg strength have consistently increased.

Tony’s support has been phenomenal.  He has a terrific ability to gauge how much and when to push me. Tony’s educational background in exercise medicine, his training credentials and his years of experience are a real plus.  On occasions when I have been injured (not because of any exercises with Tony) he has explained to me what was happening with my muscles, encouraged me and adapted my exercise regimen so I could heel and get back on track.  And at one point when I wasn’t recovering from an injury in a reasonable amount of time he gave me a gift of a massage, which got me back on track – truly above and beyond the call of duty!  Tony mixes up the exercises from one time to the next so the experience is never stagnant but always interesting and challenging. Transformation is an excellent facility with all the equipment I could ever need and the environment is great.  I am sure that I would never have gotten into a consistent (3x strength training per week) training regimen were I not working out with Tony; working with him pushed me to work out on my own to be ready for our next training session. You won’t find a kinder, more compassionate, more highly competent personal trainer than Tony!

I have recommended your services to many people and will continue to do so.  Congratulations to you and Arin for establishing a first class service: a very welcoming environment, excellent equipment and first class training by wonderful people!”

Julie is another one of our success stories after sweating her way through the Boot Camp and Rapid Fat Loss classes. After working hard this is what she had to say!

“I’ve always struggled with my weight and have never successfully managed my diet and exercise at the same time. Nathan, my trainer, was great! He kept things interesting because every class is different from the other. Nathan was also supportive, always asked how I was feeling after workouts, and held me accountable by monitoring my food intake. I lost 8 pounds, 5.5 inches and 2 percent body fat in one month! Not only Nathan, but everyone at Transformation Wellness and Fitness have been so supportive and truly want me to be successful. They really know their stuff too! The staff at Transformation Wellness and Fitness is always available to answer nutrition and exercise questions or suggest an alternative if something isn’t working for me.”
