I joined One on One 10 years ago, right before turning 40. It was one of those milestone moments where you feel like you need to make a change before the next big birthday. Even though I had been exercising pretty regularly up until that point, I felt like it was time to do something different. Not long after joining One on One, it became obvious to me that this was much different than any other gym I had previously belonged to. I really felt that I became part of a team, and that we were working together to figure out what I wanted to achieve, and how we were going to do it. Over the past 10 years my goals have ranged from health to vanity and everywhere in between! And every time I felt like it was time to step it up or make a change, I not only had a wealth of knowledge to back me up, but an energetic, warm, and friendly support system to take the journey with me.

One on One Fitness is about making a positive, sustainable change to your lifestyle and habits. The sessions are designed specifically for you: No generic, one size fits all type workouts. The results are gradual, steady, and lasting, because you actually make a healthy change to your exercise habits. As the years go by, your goals change and One on One changes with you. For example, I no longer feel I need to have the biggest biceps in town, but I started a Personal Yoga Program at One on One. It’s great! One on One has worked for me for nearly 20 years!

Since joining One on One, I have lost weight, put on an incredible amount of muscle, reduced my stress and blood pressure, and feel stronger than I ever have.

Most people would agree that One on One is a bit of a “splurge” when you consider the cost of memberships at other gyms, but I feel that it is worth the price every week. I can’t imagine a better fitness center, and I’ve trained in excellent military gyms around the world. When I came to One on One four years ago, I really needed some help to return to my previous fitness level, which I had maintained for years as a Marine officer and an all-American athlete. I had recently gained weight and lost my focus on fitness. A prompt and friendly greeting led to meeting my personal trainers, whose knowledge and professionalism eclipsed that of all the other trainers with whom I have worked. They discussed my goals with me and developed a personalized approach to helping me meet my goals with excellent attention to detail.

When we retired, we had to make a decision as to what we would do with our free time. Our wish was to have an active retirement devoted to backpacking, canoeing, and related activities, preferably in a wilderness setting. We soon realized that this program would require considerable changes in our fitness levels for both strength and endurance. Thus we began a program of regular workouts at One on One that turned out to be a wonderfully effective way to reach these goals.
