    I started my journey with Bob in '09 and worked with him for about a year and a half. My focus was…read moreon weight loss and overall fitness. I had some limitations due to an injury to and replacement of my hip so, while I was very motivated, I wasn't sure whether I could take full advantage of the program. I was so wrong. Not only did I drop about 40 lbs., I also got to a point of fitness that I never imagined given my limitations. I had been a gym rate before doing mostly spinning and the treadmill and some boot camp classes. It was boring but I did enjoy it. I had never done any real cross training like I did with Bob and once I started, he had me so motivated and driven, I wanted to do everything to my fullest potential. And it was SO fun! He was extremely knowledgeable about how to handle working around injuries and was also able to modify most exercises so that I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. He listened to me and I trusted that he wasn't putting me at risk for any injuries. He was so invested in my success that I didn't want to disappoint him. The studio is neat and organized and the bathroom and shower is clean. I like that there is only 1 other person in the studio. For anyone looking to be healthy, whether for weight management or to optimize your fitness, this is the place to go. We don't have a lot of options in our area and even if we did, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Can't wait to go back now that I've had my surgery!!!

    I found One2One BodyScapes in Westford, MA via a Yelp search, and I am so glad that I did! I took…read moreone of their introductory training specials and realized that one-to-one personal training was a great match for me, and that I was ready to make the investment in my own health. In the short time I have been there, almost 1 month, I have already noticed a significant improvement to my fitness and energy level, and I have lost 5 pounds. (Hopefully, just the beginning!) The trainers are highly skilled and excellent. I have worked with Krista, John and Resa, and they all make the workouts fun, yet challenging with a mixture of aerobic and weight conditioning customized for me. The hour flies by! There is no problem switching between trainers based on my schedule. They are very flexible about this. The facilities are excellent and always clean. It's convenient for me to workout, take a shower, and then head to the office - starting my day in a healthy manner and giving me an energy boost for work. I found this is also helping me cope with increased stress levels from my work. I am sure I am not the only one who finds themselves too busy to workout in a "normal" gym environment. Making an appointment to workout with a skilled trainer appeals to me, as it forces me to show up, just as I would for a doctor or dentist appointment. Knowingly myself, this is really the only way I can fit a workout into my busy schedule. Personal training is not an inexpensive option, but how does one put a price on having higher energy for work and family, losing weight, and hopefully living a longer and healthier life? Rather than always giving, sometimes you have to make a choice to invest in yourself. I feel this has been the right choice for me, and I highly recommend BodyScapes to others if you find yourself in need of extra motivation to get to the gym and workout consistently.

    Three years ago I was 30 pound heavier and very unhappy with my appearance. I looked at my photos…read morefrom my son's wedding and was embarassed by my size 14 MOG dress that had to be let out to fit properly. Try as I might before the wedding I could not lose even a few pounds to make that dress fit. I was desperate. Never able to diet properly or feel comfortable in a "big gym" ($9.99 a month) A friend mentioned she was joining a new gym and asked me to go along with her. From the moment I stepped into GISFW I knew the program would help me. I have been a member of this gym for nearly 3 years! Have lost 30 pounds and have kept it off. I feel stronger and more confident. I have met women of all ages (16 - 75) and body types (very heavy - marathoners) There is a place for everyone because the trainers get to know you on a personal level. Read on if you want to know what Get In Shape for Women is really like. I have been going to this gym at least 3 times a week for the past 3 years and have trained with the owner as well as many different trainers, all closely supervised by the owner. Each time I train, if I give it my all, I leave sweaty, a bit sore but full of energy and confidence. This is not a typical gym. The owner, Terri, has dedicated her life to fitness and nutrition. She inspires, motivates, encourages and yes, harasses her clients. That is what many of us need. If you want to be coddled go into therapy. If you want good health and strength you need someone like Terri who will teach, push, and monitor you. The program is perfect for the busy woman who feels like she does not have time for a workout. If you can spare just an hour a day you can fit this program in to your schedule. I go on my way home from work, perfect for me. The gym works because of accountability. You have an appointment with a trainer. These are firm commitments. I would never skip my hairdresser or dental appointment without calling to cancel. The GISFW gym expects the same courtesy and commitment. I feel very guilty every time I have to call and cancel or reschedule. The trainer on the phone always tries to get me to reschedule instead of letting me skip a workout. This is good for me, it means I am committed and my workout is important. My typical workout is 30 minutes of intense weight training then 30 minutes of cardio with interval training. Both have been very effective for me. I may train with up to 3 other women but there have been times when I get the trainer all to myself. Imagine a personal trainer every time you work out! Even if you are sharing the trainer with 2 or 3 other women, you feel the personal attention. GISFW trainers watch clients closely and help them with good form, proper posture and adequate weight. They always challenge me but do not let me slack off. Women working out are just like children, we will look for opportunities to take short cuts. This will not happen at GISFW and that is why many, many women renew their memberships and continue to train there. After my second year at GISFW I thought I could save money and go to the "big gym" and train myself. I knew all the exercises to do and felt confident GISFW had given me the knowledge to train myself. I was so wrong. The first month I used the elliptical each visit but then was so intimidated to cross over into the weight training area. I did not see many women in that part of the gym. I sought out personal training at the "big gym " and learned that sessions with a trainer there were just as expensive as GISFW. So now I am back at GISFW and plan to keep going indefinitely. I can make it work in my budget because I value my health. It is a very expensive investment and not your typical gym. The cost also motivates me to keep going. It was easy to skip days at the $9.99 a month gym. It was also easy to be anonymous at that gym. I like feeling like a valued member who is greeted by name each visit. I need someone to follow my progress and give me nutritional tips. I value the workouts that Terri and her trainers are constantly researching and changing to keep me motivated. At my daughter's wedding my size 10 dress fit perfectly and I felt great. I am so grateful to GISFW for showing me that I can be fit and healthy if I work for it. Have a Healthy Day!

    Here's the short version: if you expect more from a gym, regardless of your level, join Skill of…read moreStrength (SOS) right now. The Details: Several years ago I switched from traditional conditioning (machines, rote freeweight exercises) to functional training. If I only knew sooner... The trainer who originally taught me and my kids moved out of reach. Since then I've engaged in a pretty arduous search and ended up at SOS. As far as I can tell, it's one of a handful of gyms of its kind in the Boston area, and it happens to be at 73 Princeton St., North Chelmsford MA 01863 (https://www.skillofstrength.com). SOS does a terrific job of translating cutting edge methods to well structured and original routines that can be followed by all levels of ability. On one hand there's a somewhat more casual crowd that does a modified version of the day's program (I'm in their MOVE class) and they seem quite content. I'm absolutely, 100% all for that. At the same time, there's another crowd that's always pushing for the next level. Despite the wide ranging audience, SOS underscores the experience with some very subtle social norms - very healthy, and it creates a great vibe. My first experience with SOS was sending my high school aged son through their COMPETE program. It accomplished everything I was hoping for - measurable gains in quickness, strength, cardio, reinforcement of footwork, increased confidence, and familiarization with a vocabulary that athletes require if they're going to progress. All in a personal, incredibly positive environment. Why SOS works for me: starting in my teens and stretching into my late 30's I spent a good portion of time working with skill coaches and strength & conditioning coaches. Together, they made a huge difference in my progress. I don't play a sport anymore, but I still want a technical workout oriented toward increased fitness. SOS delivers in spades. I'm a bug for technique - I actually believe that 5 pounds done right is better than 50 pounds done wrong. As a result I'm constantly asking questions, getting terrific guidance, and no one's lost patience or interest - instead, they seem to be totally into it. SOS has also taught me additional, helpful routines for balance (which are actually fun, and this stuff is supposed be fun), and I'm still pulling myself together on their footwork drills - happily. If you have kids or student athletes who would benefit from a thoughtful, engaging workout, or if you're looking for something different and well structured, or if you simply burn for a good workout, SOS is a terrific place.

    Great place to train, with great instructors. If you are looking for a place where the coaches pay…read moreattention to detail, come to SOS! You will not regreat it! Raphael
