Get In Shape For Women

When I reported that walking was my favorite form of exercise they laughed. I much preferred a 20 – 45 minute walk than 20 minutes on a treadmill that forced me to watch CNN and commercials. When I tried to skip the treadmill, I was literally yelled at as I walked to my car. Perhaps it is better now that there is a new owner – I can only hope so.

I am loving Get in Shape for Women in Belmont. It has relatively new ownership as of July. Stacey, the owner is extremely motivating with both fitness, food logs and weight management. I’ve only had one training so far but she is knowledgable and makes modifications as needed. I was at Get in Shape for Women in Arlington and Belmont has a much better atmosphere. Plus I’ve already lost a 3.5 lbs of fat (1% of my body weight). I still have a long way to go but I’m motivated and supported!

I joined Get In Shape For Women in Belmont in March 2012 after having tried many other gyms. I was frustrated by my weight and had always tried to get into a gym routine, but each time I tried I always gave up after about a month of working out. I found out the hard way that the only way I was motivated to go to the gym was if I had a set appointment. I have spent enormous amounts of money on nutrition counseling and personal training on top of monthly gym fees but until I joined Get In Shape, I never lost more than a few pounds.
Although training at Get In Shape isn’t cheap, it is a really good deal when you compare it to the cost of personal training at other gyms. They have different membership options so that you can tailor it to your needs, but the longer you sign on for, the cheaper it is per session. I started out signing up for three months and within a month I had changed my membership to last one year.
I am in my early twenties and was worried that the crowd at Get In Shape would be mostly older women who I had nothing in common with but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the women I work out with are welcoming and fun, despite the range of ages and backgrounds. I have become a workout enthusiast and I want to thank everyone at Get In Shape For Women in Belmont for helping me learn to love exercise.
The program includes half an hour of strength training with up to three other women and the final thirty minutes are spent on cardio machines. I have found that I became friends with the trainers quickly and the owner, Liz McGill, is always happy to chat and give advice on nutrition. I look forward to going to the gym for the first time in my life and I hope others who can relate to my story will try it out too! I promise it’s worth your time, energy and money.

I started at this gym 6 months ago with a goal to lower my cholesterol. What I gained from the crew at GISFW is more self confidence, strong muscles, a few great friends, and a support group that never lets me down.
My cholesterol is down 58 points since last December, all because of the nutrition guidance and a group that keeps me focused on meeting my goals. My new goal is to lose 10 lbs in the next 6 months. I have full confidence that I can do this with the help of the staff here.
