"It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Bob Keil of Fitness Together. I was introduced to Bob at a time when my physical condition had been deteriorating for several years. Like many middle-aged men, my long working hours and family responsibilities made it seem impossible for me to stay in shape.

I had worked with trainers at Gold's Gym and the Spa, but found they had very little background in training and exercise programs. I didn't want to "bulk up" or bench press more weight.

Bob differs markedly from my previous trainers. He has a unique and educated approach. Instead of the same old "three sets of ten", Bob had a variety of exercises to make each workout effective and interesting.

He spends a great deal of time on "core work" - abdominal and back strengthening. He works on my balance and flexibility in a way none of my previous trainers have.

Most of the workouts with Bob have an aerobic component. Not only am I more fit, but my overall endurance has improved. My abdominal and back musculature has never been stronger. I have regained the flexibility and strength of twenty years ago.

Bob is an upbeat person and makes the workouts fun. While he can push as hard as you want to go, he is sensitive to those times when your energy might be lower and alters the workout intensity accordingly.
Workouts with Bob are the best investment of money that I make."

Sincerely,

Kirk A. Howard, M.D.

"I have been asked by Mr. Bob Keil for an endorsement of his fitness studio, Fitness Together. This is an easy task. I first knew Mr. Keil as my wife's trainer, and after watching her progress, I decided to try an exercise regimen myself. Because I have a mild back problem, my initial emphasis was to maintain and improve spine and joint flexibility. This goal was easily attained, at which point more challenging sets were introduced for cardiovascular fitness and strength training.

I have worked with Mr. Keil's studio for almost two years, during which time I have had experience with several of the trainers as well as with Mr. Keil himself. Each trainer had developed regimens designed to work within my limitations, while pushing to expand my capabilities. Overall I have been very pleased with results and progress. Strength, stamina, flexibility, and general conditioning have all improved significantly.

I am impressed with their knowledge of exercise mechanics and physiology. Amongst the things that he and his trainers have been able to do is to recognize and work on an occult shoulder problem whose limitations had been an aggravation to me over the years. By their recognizing and focusing on this problem within the framework of the overall fitness regimen, I am beginning to enjoy freedom of movement and activity previously denied.

Mr. Keil's clients range from the young and healthy to those who are post-cardiac bypass or with significant renal disease. I have been impressed by his ability to design realistic programs that safely provide incremental, attainable benefits within the parameters of each individual's life. He and his studio come highly recommended!"

Gill Minor, M.D.

"I have been training with Bob Keil for about 3 months. During that time I have been very impressed with his level of education and knowledge of not only specific muscle isolation but also anatomy and injury prevention. For any exercise I was unable to do, he was able to modify it and receive the same results. I had been working out previous, but not at the same level. His training had maintained a set pulse level by the use of a heart monitor while working out to make sure I was achieving my peak fitness capabilities. He is also able to give you the extra push to get the "extra repetition" you could not manage on your own... (Not to mention, he isn't bad on the eyes either!!!).

I have over the last 9 months lost 41 lbs. and 15% body fat. His entire staff is quite knowledgeable of everything from nutrition to massage and are always willing to help. I have since referred several friends who have "signed on" and are quite happy with their results."

I was a scholarship athlete in college and now work in health care so I know how important it is to maintain good health. But, as a professional women and mother of 4, I find myself cutting corners to get through my day which generally means cutting out time for myself. I have been going to Fitness Together since October of 2005 and am now hooked. The workout is tremendous, and the people can motivate you like no other. The adage of "you get what you pay for" rings true. I am in better shape than I have been in years and feel great. My children have recognized my commitment to health and time for myself and that is an important life lesson for them. I think the number one motivator is making an appointment and feeling compelled to not let others down. Having the appointment is just another appointment to keep in my day now.

Karen is an enjoyable person to train not only because of her efforts and great attitude, but she can make anyone laugh. She has made tremendous progress all around in her physical fitness. Irish has noticed her improvements as well, “She looks great. I can see a difference in overall body composition. She works extremely hard and she’s consistent with her workouts and nutrition.”

Karen had this to say about her experience at FT: “It’s been challenging, yet very rewarding. I’ve been motivated to work harder and harder each time and my fitness level has increased dramatically!”

Physical exercise is one of those few things that makes you feel good and is good for you! With personal training, you have a program that is tailored to your schedule, makes efficient use of your time, and provides for one-on-one interaction. The Fitness Together program focuses on your personal achievements and progress rather than the comparison with others. The workouts are designed to be both varied and challenging. No two workouts are ever the same and that keeps you interested and motivated. With Fitness Together, a workout means having a great time – an achievement that every fitness program should aspire to!

There are two people who will make this happen: you and your personal trainer. Nick, my trainer, is a battery for his environment. He is very low key and makes sure that my interests and my well-being are priorities. He has the ability to keep you completely focused on each exercise, leaving no room for stress or other concerns. Nick has become a friend, and we have become a team in building my physical fitness together.

For me, each training session is one hour of great fun, and afterwards I feel fantastic inside! Even the next day, I am still reaping the benefits of a much higher energy level and an overall sense of well being. After going to Fitness Together for about a year, I have quickly reversed the effects of over 30 years of inactivity. I have built considerable strength, increased my stamina, and gained much greater flexibility. My workouts have improved my posture and eliminated my lower back pain. In my opinion, this is as close as you can get to the “fountain of youth”!

David Jawerth

Since beginning my training at Fitness Together in December I have seen a dramatic increase in my endurance and a significant decrease in my stress level! I actually look forward to my workouts now. In addition to the above mentioned benefits, the changes in my body have really began to take shape anywhere from a larger chest, flatter stomach and firmer arms. I have no doubt that with the help of the FT Staff; I will reach my personal goals for a more lean body and increased energy levels!

Thanks for all the encouragement and hard work FT, I really appreciate it!

Tim Goldman

I have worked with several trainers around Cary and Nick with Fitness Together is absolutely the best. He abides with the FT motto: 1 Client 1 Trainer 1 Goal. My primary goal when coming to FT was to relieve the stress of an overwhelmingly executive lifestyle. I have met that and many other goals. I plan to continue with Fitness Together until I have met all my fitness goals because health is the most important attribute we as humans possess.

Brenda Stamper Wiggins
Lost 10 inches and dramatically reduced stress level

When I started Fitness Together about a month ago, I had one goal in mind, to take better care of my body. After about 1 month, I have lost weight, feel better, less stress and already starting to see results. My arms and chest have become more defined, stomach is getting flatter and I am more productive at work.

Since I'm always on the go, it's nice to know Fitness Together is always willing to work around my schedule. The sessions are always one on one, I don't have to wait for a machine to become free. My trainer has everything set up for me when I get there, I'm in and out in a timely manner!! The training staff is very professional, they make me feel very comfortable, they listen to me and my concerns. I can't think of a better way in getting into shape. I've tried gyms but stopped going after about 2 or 3 weeks, because it was more of a hassle then enjoyment. At Fitness Together, it's very different. I am able to focus on me and my concerns and I have a Personal Trainer there with me every step of the way.

In answer to the following questions, Tim Bannister had this to say:

What do you like most about F.T.?
I don't know if I can single it out to one thing. Certainly the dedication of my trainer, Nick. He has a genuine concern for helping me reach my goals. He keeps me accountable in all aspects. That's important to me given the fact that is what I asked him to do from the start. In the past, when starting an exercise program, I always seemed unable to finish. Now I can't stop! He pushes me to do more than I ever would on my own. Fitness together is very flexible to my schedule, making it very easy to stay on track.

What changes have you noticed since you started training?
Much more energy and strength. But more important than the physical aspects are the mental benefits. I feel better about myself. As a business owner the stress can get unbearable at times. The sessions help with (if not eliminate) the stress that builds up. I look forward to going in and working my frustrations out during my time. The physical changes are just an added benefit. I can see my body changing almost daily. It is particularly nice when someone comments about the changes they've noticed.

How would you describe your experience at F.T?
Truly positive. I should have done it a long time ago. Fitness together made a decision to make a Lifestyle Change easy to commit to and stick with! Thanks for all you have done - Tim Bannister
