I love this gym! I'm reviewing on their HIIT Camp style training. I've been with FitMo for about 9 months. Workouts are great, super efficient and invigorating. All the trainers are great each one has a different personality and style of training so it's nice to get the variety. And they all truly care about your personal goals. They give you modifications if you have an injury or when you're feeling like you need to train harder. The owner, Danny, is always looking for feedback so he can cater to his clients schedules and lifestyle, also looks for ways to build a community for us. They make you feel like family. And when you really commit with their nutrition recommendations the results are amazing. The other clients are great. It's nice to see familiar faces and to see people making progress on their goals. I love that they incorporate some alternative classes once a week. I can't wait to try the yoga. The virtual live zoom workouts have allowed me to have some routine/normalcy during this crazy difficult time of world wide viral war. I need someone telling me what to do and how my firm is and to push me harder. FitMo fam definitely does it for me. Thanks guys for keeping it going! read more

I joined fitness in motion 6 weeks ago and it was one of those decisions that is changing my life!!!!! I am a 22 year old college student and I wanted to do something to start having a strong and fit body that I loved. I tried many different fitness programs in San Diego, but I had never been completely motivated to follow my coaches suggestions and to not cheat. The day I went in for the info session at Fitness and Motion, the coaches showed me before and after pictures of their clients and I thought "wow! they look amazing... if they can do it, so can I." In 6 weeks I have lost 11.5 lbs, gone from 27.4% body fat to 24% body fat, and lost over 3.5 inches off my waist. I think those numbers speak for themselves. I have a sweet tooth, but the coaches really motivated me to sacrifice sweets and give healthy food a chance, and I surprised myself in being able to do it! What makes their program awesome is how holistic it is, the trainers KNOW that to be healthy you need to workout but also need to eat healthy and sleep. They give you tips on how to not fail, like on what you can order at restaurants, or what snacks are good to have at your desk or purse that will actually aid in your nutrition and weight-loss. I will continue to go to Fitness and Motion because I see the results of their method on a weekly basis. The facilities are super clean, and you do not get that sweaty gym smell that some gyms have. Great music choices for the HIIT workouts. The only drawback for me is that they share bathrooms with the other businesses in the general area, but just bring your flip flops to shower there and you should be good. If you actually join them, I suggest being very open and communicative with the coaches. Tell them what you struggle with (whether it is eating or doing cardio on your own) and they have effective solutions and strategies for your struggles. I personally trained with Aurelie and Stephanie. They have great workouts to tone your abs and waist area. But most importantly, they really care that you get your results and that you get healthy because they care about you. They learn everybody's name and meet with people to establish new goals once the old ones are accomplished. I have no doubt that if I keep working hard and doing what they tell me to do I will get to my goal of body fat percentage very soon. Thank you to Fitness and Motion and the staff for starting me in the beginning of my new lifestyle and for being a such a supportive group of coaches. #FitMo #FitmoFam read more

Busy Fit Warrior - Six weeks of working out at Fitness and Motion. -11.5 lbs, -3% fat. Happy the work is paying off. Thank you FitMo! - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Since he blocked me on Facebook messenger and can't reach him. I will post here. This is based on my experience with the owner. I told him I wanted to opt out. I'm just asking if I will get my refund. I'm kinda sad this is how he treated me since I told him I won't be able to do it at this time to do the 21 days challenge.. I will try to contact him again. I attached my convo on fb messenger with him. I didn't mean to sound like a bitch but anything can be taken out of context. I'm genuinely happy for people who makes time and do it for themselves. I didn't even started and told him right away. I didn't use his facility or use his meal guide. Man.... I'm just sad.. I just want my refund. read more

If someone ask me after 20+ years, what was the best thing happened to me, my answer would be FFF. Yes, it is Family, Friends & FITMO.

Busy Fit Warrior - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I've only been working out here for about a month, mostly personal training, but here's what I love most about it so far: It's a small gym, where you get lots of personal attention. The owner, Danny, is so supportive and motivating. If you do a challenge with him, he will send you emails, videos, Facebook updates... all to keep you on track. The trainers will bust your butt, and you will thank them for it! Bonus: A diverse crowd works out here, which I really like and appreciate. Definitely recommend FitMo! read more

I just completed the 6 week challenge and lost a little over 20 pounds! What? Sounded almost impossible to me. Well, a family friend of mine kept "checking in" on her FB account almost every day to this Fitness and Motion gym. When I did a little research, I found out that they have a challenge to lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks. Sounded good to me... And so my journey began. I just turned 40 years old this past August. My BMI classifies me as OBESE geez, such a harsh term. I currently take medication for hypothyroid, anxiety and depression. I have three children age 20, 16 and 4. I work as a Medical Assistant at UCSD about 25-35 hours a week. So yes, most days are pretty busy, rushing around trying to get across traffic and be productive. What ends up happening is I get tired, I crave for a nap and give in to grabbing food for myself and my family at the nearby drive thru or take out joint. Ughh, so dreadful, I know. I wanted so badly to make a change and to better myself. I've tried many weight loss programs in the past. Weight Watchers, HMR weight loss meals and meal replacement shakes, Orange Fitness Theory and also our local gym. None of them lasted. My friend told me they have a family day at FITMO and that it would be an opportunity for me to try the class. I was hooked. Marta was the trainer for fHiiT camp that day at the 5am class!!! It wasn't easy I will admit - but I did it. By the following Saturday (10/31) I was at orientation with more than 50 other people ready to take on the challenge. I learned how to meal plan and was given informational handouts of all the details to STTP (stick to the plan). Sunday I went grocery shopping and did meal prep for the week. It was very simple and straight forward. It took merely 2 hours to complete. FITMO provides a video link to demonstrate easy meal prep. Several fHiiT camp times were available Monday to Friday starting at 5am and ending the day with a 6:20pm Cardio class. On Saturday and Sunday only 8am classes were available. The class size is about 10-15 people depending on the time of day. My classmates were all friendly. My trainer's Marta, Stephanie and Franco were always very enthusiastic. They kept us on our toes and working hard. The workouts were reasonable and I was comfortable even with history of carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis. Week one - After eating my prepped meals and attending fHiiT camp 5 times out of the week at 5am with Marta - I LOST 7 pounds!!! Week two, same planning, I lost 1 pound. Week three I added 3 sessions of cardio to my regular 5 day fHiiT camp and lost 4 more pounds. Week four was Thanksgiving week - and I started my menstrual cycle (GEESH) and barely lost a half pound. By week 5, I was only 5 pounds away from goal. I stepped up my game and worked out twice daily and ate very carefully. Final weigh in, I lost 21.4 pounds!!! Woo hoo! Oh, Happy Day!! I was so proud of myself!!! I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement from the entire FITMO staff. I made many new friends that I will cherish forever. I would recommend this program 100% to anyone who is ready and willing to put in the hard work and dedication. Thank you FITMO. Thank You Danny and Emma, Marta, Stephanie, Franco, John, Aurelie, Reina, and staff. read more

I honestly can say, joining Fitness & Motion was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made in my life. I joined the gym on September 15, 2014 for their 6 week challenge and my life was forever changed. I would have never thought I would ever think of the gym as my third home (besides my actual home and work). Needless to say, after the six weeks, I was hooked and I became a regular client member. The fHIIT camps by Marta and Rochelle are absolutely amazing... (Keep in mind, Marta loves her burpees and Rochelle loves killing your lower body, it's the best feeling ever). I heard Fahd runs an amazing fHIIT camp but I have never experienced it since his class is on Tuesdays, at 9:30am (if I ever get the chance to, I will). The cardio classes by Stephanie are also amazing to get your heart rate up and the blood pumping through your veins. Classes are only 40 minutes long! So, fit it into your schedule. I, personally, have had the pleasure of working with Marta and Rochelle as my personal trainer and I LOVE them to death.They take into consideration, 1. Your goals, 2. Your weaknesses, 3. Your strengths. I have had trainers at 24 hour and LA fitness. never have I wanted to continuously want to sign up for personal training like I do at Fitness & Motion. Rochelle and Marta worked on improving my posture (thanks to Julius for pointing that out), which helped reduce risk of injury and strengthened my back muscles. Rochelle showed me that I was stronger than I ever thought I was. Squats galore, tire flips and carrying a water pipe will do that to you, too! Fahd and Julius are also awesome trainers. They have the ability to train you up for competitions and they're both very helpful with keeping you in check. The owner, Danny is very courteous and professional. He makes sure that the gym is a positive experience and environment. Everyone at the gym shares a mutual respect for each-other and supports each-other in our own personal goals, whether it's to lose weight, tone, bulk up, or get in some physical activity. Depending on what program you choose to partake in, there is a meal plan provided. Have you ever actually gone into the gym and known everyone's name? This gym is like my second family. They are my friends that have become like family. Everyone wants to see you achieve your goal. Fitness & Motion will change your life for the better and you will never look at fitness or nutrition begrudgingly ever again. Thank you Fitness & Motion for everything. read more

Busy Fit Warrior - Join the challenge! - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I just completed the 6 week challenge and lost 32.2 pounds by sticking to the program (STTP) that the trainers at Fitness and Motion provide to me. At first I was skeptical about the whole process, but all the trainers at Fitmo (Danny, Marta, Auriele, Stephanie, John, and all other staff) are very knowledgable about nutrition and encourage you to do your best. So I began my journey at 292 lbs, which is the highest I have ever weighed. I knew I needed to change my lifestyle when I would get winded tying my shoes. I have always struggled with my weight almost all my life, but these last few years took a toll on me. I currently take medication for PTSD and Patella Femoral Pain Syndrome. I am married and have two children age 3, and 1. I work as a Veteran Service Representative (40 hrs a week), I attend school full-time 2 to 3 times a week (Masters Degree), and I also intern 20 hrs a week as a Social Work Therapist. So my life is really busy, and I used to let my hunger lead me to eat fast food and unhealthy food because it was fast and easy. Many people in my life have continued to encouraged me to make a change, but like any addiction a person will not change until they are ready. For the longest time I have let my drive to become successful in my life cloud my vision of conducting my own self-care. It was not until I came across an ad on Facebook for a challenge to lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks, and if you lost the weight than you would keep the money for the training. I thought to myself, "John put your money were your mouth is." I have worked out many times in my 29yrs of life, but what I struggled with was eating healthy. When I joined Fitmo they provided me with a meal prep that was easy to follow and my family was on board, which made it easier. The workout classes were also very convenient as they had multiple classes throughout the day that would fit any working persons schedule. If you are looking to lose any extra weight or just learn how to chose more healthier eating choices than Fitmo is the place for you. Thank you, Johnny read more

Busy Fit Warrior - Getting my sweat on!!!! - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Coming from no workout background throughout my life to looking forward for aa workout each day was something I experienced when a joined Fitness and Motion. Compare to other gyms n fitness classes the trainers here are great, they do provide you personal attention even when you are working out in groups. Their primary focus is that what you do is right n not hurting yourself. It's a perfect motivation for anyone who is looking for a transformation in their life. read more

Dear friends at Fitmo. This was an amazing experience for me and thank you for letting me to be part of this great journey that was called "6 weeks challenge". First of all I want to say that I loved everything about it. I loved the amount of attention that all the coaches were giving to each one of us, I liked how every one was caring about fellow challengers and all the support and motivation that was provided. I like the crowd that was there every single time training :) I even made some friends :) When I signed up to participate, I was determined but had a bit of hesitation whether I can conquer the goal or not. The difficulties that I came across were easy to deal with because of the fitmo family: coaches and the challenge mates. Now I'm super happy that was able to lose 22.2 pounds 7" and going to continue my journey with this amazing team and most imprtantly my life style has been changed and it is better change Thank you read more

COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE, what you should know: Pros: +Nice facility +The H.I.I.T. trainers are approachable (suffered an injury from carpal tunnel) and will give you a modification +A lot of encouragement and form correction +Stephanie's cardio class (when we played games) is very creative +The workouts can be very challenging if you haven't worked out in a while Cons: -ONLY do the challenge if you have +40 lbs to lose, (I only needed around 25 to get into healthy range for my height/age and it was EXTREMELY difficult) -"Free" 6 week challenge is misleading -Need to wait 2 weeks to get your refund.... (why not a big smile and a written check on weigh-in day?) -Music could be drastically improved Working out at FitMo is definitely a start for a lifestyle change with clean eating and daily workouts. Could you hire a personal trainer/dietitian for the $500 buy-in? Probably. read more

I recently participated in their 6-week challenge and wish I could have done it years ago. Pretty much all of my weight loss since high school has either been on accident (I started riding a bike to work last April because I didn't want to buy a parking permit and lost almost 20 pounds as a result) or because I literally starved and ran myself into the ground. Years of treating food like a weapon and exercise as a punishment had solidified my belief that I was never going to reach my goals. After my wedding in March, I gained back a fair amount of the biking weight I had lost (I blame the honeymoon), so I knew I needed to do something. Unfortunately for me, the only way I really knew to lose weight was not sustainable, so I was scared that I was never going to be able to do it. Cut to the challenge. They pretty much spoon-feed you with what you need to do. They have a very specific diet to follow with LOTS of options to choose from, so I didn't get bored. They also acknowledge that one size does NOT fit all and will tailor your diet to suit your needs. Be warned: this is not a "magic pill" type weight loss plan. When you come to camp, you can expect to work HARD. The trainers may look sweet and innocent, but their workouts are challenging (to say the least). I successfully lost 13 pounds during their challenge and am only 10 away from the weight I was at my high school graduation. I cried at my weigh-in because I knew that this was real, I was really that small and had done it the right way. This challenge taught me that it really isn't about how much you want something.... it's about how hard you're willing to work for it. So... how hard are you willing to work? read more

Fitness and Motion is the absolute best place to workout. ALL the TRAINERS: ALL MEN and ALL WOMEN TRAINERS are well-educated, very personable, extremely friendly and VERY, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. I can't say enough good things to say about the owner and all of his trainers! I completed the 30 pound challenge and could have taken my money because I met and exceeded the challenge but I decided to reinvest in my health and wellness here at FITNESS and MOTION! The trainers and owner are all like a good tight, uplifting family! You should join if you want a challenge that you can meet with a little dedication and a lot of trainers who are here and want your success because your success is their success! read more

AN UPDATE IS TOTALLY NEEDED. For the 6-week challenge, I lost 26.6 pounds. Thank you Danny and company for the support, camaraderie, motivation, and clean eating. I did learn that I don't have the luxury to work out daily as much as I would want to, however, I do have to eat every day. They've taught me how to eat smartly again. Be aware though, they aren't nutritionists nor dieticians by any means, but any normal person should know portion control and exercise is good for you, but a tub or lard is not. As coaches, they help you get to your goals. As of today, I'm 30 lbs down and on my own with the new exercise and eating habits they've taught me. Thanks Fitmo! read more

I did the 6 week challenge and lost 11 pounds, about 5% body fat and a little over 2 inches off my waist and hips. The place itself is small with few equipment so I was a little worried that I was going to get bored of the workouts... but from Day 1 to 42, the coaches have kept the workouts interesting. I went twice a day and the workouts were still different within the day and throughout the week. There's a whole parking lot of space to do tire flips, rope jumps, cardio, happy loops, wall sits, dragon plank (I think that's what it was called), etc. And I didn't realize there were so many different kinds of squat exercises! Trust me, you will never get bored. Ever. The classes would be run by 1-2 coaches at a time and the number of people would range from 7 - 18 depending on the time of day. Though the coaches can't be there with you for every moment of the workout, they did a pretty good job of it any way. Plus, the group consisted of veterans of the 6 week challenge, newbies, and people who were half way or so through. So if the coaches weren't around to hold you accountable to doing the exercise right, your partner at the station would. FitMo isn't just a gym, it's a family... and this family will push you to your highest potential. read more

I just finished the 6 week challenge and all I can say is wow! When I started the program, I was honestly skeptical. Not of their program, but of my ability to stay committed and dedicated to a program for 6 weeks. I just finished, and I lost 23lbs! This program, from start to finish, was fantastic. I did the early morning workout, and it was extremely motivating and fun. Every day was something new and it never got boring or mundane. I have had some extra weight for a while now and have tried to lose it on my own with little to no success. This is the program for you if you are in a similar situation! The trainers were fantastic as well. They all helped motivate and keep you on track, both on the nutritional plan and the workout plans. If you stick to what they give you, it will work for you! They give you the tools, you just need to stay dedicated and execute everything that they tell you. It was truly a great experience and I really sincerely recommend this to anyone who has 20lbs or more to lose and needs a kick-start. If you are debating it, contact them and learn more about it. If you think you have the weight to lose, like you do, and this can be a life changing experience and really help move you in the right direction! Thank you to all of the fitmo team! read more

If you want to change yourself, this is the perfect place! The team of coaches is amazing, very supportive and friendly. They will kick your butt if it's needed, too. Thanks to these best trainers I lost 8 lbs, 6 inches off hips and 1.5 inch off waist in only 6 weeks! I'm very grateful for the opportunity I got at this place and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to transform their body and soul! 5 stars!!! read more

Busy Fit Warrior - 6 weeks progress - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I joined their challenge to drop 20lbs in 6 weeks on April 21, 2014. It's no joke, hence a Challenge. I learned a tremendous amount of nutritional information, proper eating, as well as proper workout form which delivers results and reduces risks and injury to your physical body. Also if you have any injury, they will show you modifications on how to do the exercise. What I enjoy and love about fitness and motion is all of them are welcoming and non threatening individuals. They are firm in getting you to your goal, but they are not intimidating. Danny, Marta, Rochelle, Aurelie and the rest of the team motivated and inspired me to achieve my goal and to continue!! The workouts! Awesome!! What takes me an hour on a machine at the gym to sweat and get my heart pumping, is achieved in the 30 minute workouts at fitness and motion. What I have found myself doing now at the gym in lieu of or addition to the cardio machines are the challenges they post. So I set my timer, do the warm ups, then go down the list for 30 seconds, 3 sets of (burpees, mountain climbers, russian situps, supermans, bicycling, lunge jumps, squats, etc) Facilities are clean, location easy to get to and plenty of parking. Highly recommend fitness and motion!! read more

Words aren't enough to express how thankful I am You gave me the chance to not only transform my body amazingly in 6 weeks, but because you transformed my life in so little time, everyone in the team is amazing, they're supper supportive, always challenging you and making sure you feel comfortable and keeping track of your progress. THANK YOU!!! You guys ROCK!! read more

Busy Fit Warrior - Thank you for not only changing my body amazingly in 6 weeks, but for changing my life completely :) - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I signed up for the six week bikini challenge at the end of august and just finished this weekend. Overall, this was an amazing experience! The coaches are wonderful and if you put in the work and effort, you WILL see the results! It's not easy... It's 6 days of working out and very strict meal plan, but you will look and feel amazing once you start! I now feel like I have an understanding of how to eat clean and how to have good form while working out! The trainers are there for you for anything you need and their fhiit classes are awesome. If you are willing to put in an effort to make changes, then this is the program for you! Our challenge was to lose 2-3 inches off waist and hips and to physically look different at the end, and I did this! I officially lost 16 lbs, 3 3/4 inches off waist, 3 off hips, and down 3.5% body fat!!! read more

Great set of trainers who will push you. I did a 6 week camp and I am extremely happy with my results. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to change to a healthier and stronger lifestyle. Don't be discouraged if you don't see results at the snap of your fingers. Meet them halfway with your full commitment and they'll get you to it! Like I said, they push you. Keep in mind--if you come to them, they won't go easy. You want results, don't complain to them that you can't do it. They care about their clients and want nothing but the best for them, point blank. read more

If you out there are looking to transform or make good health related changes, look no further. This place is your answer.

Busy Fit Warrior - Week 0-6!!! - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

6 weeks ago I embarked on a mission that I knew I had to take in order to become healthy and love myself more. I knew I had weight to lose and this would help with my asthma that I suffered with as well as minor aches and pains that occur when one get's older. I am also turning 40 this year, so I knew I did not want to be at the weight I was when I turned 40. I saw FitMo's ads on FB and they kept popping up, so I decided to email them and was invited to the orientation that was held the last week of December 2014. Danny shared his story and was very positive and made me realize with his encouraging and tough words that if I did not do this now for myself, then when was I going to do it?! I knew I needed to get in shape. So I signed up that night and went to the first Orientation knowing that this was nothing but a positive thing for me. 19 lbs. later (1 lb. away from meeting the challenge and my first goal) and 6 weeks later I feel soooo much better and have not had to use my inhaler for my asthma in 5 weeks! The aches and pains in my shoulders (inflammation) have gone away and my body feel so much cleaner. I eat better and am not ever hungry and have learned to look at food in a different light. It can be enjoyed but it is fuel for a healthy body and living. I plan to do a 2nd round of the 20 lb. challenge, as I know there is much more for me to lose, but I stay motivated and focused with the help of the fabulous Fitness and Motion Coaches/Staff that are there to encourage, listen and motivate me. Without them and their support as well as the other team members, this might have been a lot tougher, but each day has just given me more to be thankful for. If you can't tell by now, I highly encourage those people out there who enjoy group settings and like to workout with others and have fun. If you can follow directions and are honest with yourself, this program is for you to do. Sure, you can do it on your own, but if that was the case, you would have done it already, so why not try something new? The group of people I have met through this challenge are amazing and I am happy to see their changes, just as much as mine. read more

I first learned about Fitness & Motion via FB when I saw a post about a fitness & weight loss challenge to lose 20lbs in 6-weeks, that was in January 2014, my new baby was almost 2 months old and I was ready to start really focusing on losing the baby weight! Unfortunately the timing didn't work out for me however I was able to join the next challenge on April 21. By that time, I had been running and doing pilates for a couple of months so I wasn't as focused on losing 20lbs, however I was excited to get nutrition advice, gain some healthy eating habits, mix up my exercise routine and meet some new people! The challenge officially ended on June 2nd and the results were amazing! I lost 7lbs (many many more people lost 20+lbs!!!), and I lost 3" around my waist and hips while also losing 5% of my body fat - I think I gained some muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, right?!? :). Most importantly, I had fun doing it! The staff and trainers at Fitness and Motion are top notch! They are truly there to help you make a lifestyle change to be a healthier you. They are not about gimmicks or quick fixes! It is definitely hard work and you have to realize it's not just about working out. Nutrition and what you eat is just as important, if not more important, as sweating it out. I found that I loved the HIIT (high intensity interval training) style of training. Working up a sweat and burning a ton of calories in just 30 min. is perfect for this mom of two that is also usually working full-time and volunteering along with many other activities. Whether you are a beginner, and just starting out on your health and fitness journey, or a seasoned athlete/fit individual, I highly recommend Fitness & Motion! I found that the strength and conditioning work has helped to increase my core strength and also improved my leg strength which has translated into better fitness and endurance for my running! Thank you Danny Short & the entire team at Fitness & Motion! read more

This isn't really a gym that you sign up for indefinitely. At least it doesn't seem to be designed that way. I did the 6-week challenge some time ago but after it was over, they really don't try to keep you going. It's more like every six weeks, they have an entirely new crowd of people. There also seems to be huge turnover in trainers, so It's completely hit or miss whether you get a good one. If all you want is a 6-week quick startup and then move on, this is OK. Otherwise, there's really not much to say about it. read more

This place has some of the most dedicated trainers you'll ever come across. I train with Julius and he's legitimate as they come. Whether it's for overall fitness or even competing in the future, check this place out. read more

Busy Fit Warrior - Team J Project!! - Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

So my wife gets served an ad on Facebook and I get sent to fat camp! She tells me about this program called the 6-week challenge where you lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks. I have battled with weight my entire life and for someone like me who is also stubborn, I sure don't need anyone's help. I mean, after all, what can they teach me that I don't already know. I know you just eat less and exercise, right? Eeehhh not quite... Upon arriving at FitMo I was very skeptical, however I know that if you want different results you have to do different things. The classes that are held daily are called fit-camps and happen several times a day. They are roughly 45 minutes long and consist of mostly body weight exercises. Right there I didn't believe it. After all, I have lost the weight before and spent roughly 3 hours a day in the gym... No way you can accomplish anything in 45 minutes. Next the meal plan. Carbs for breakfast and lunch? Are these people crazy? Everyone knows if you want to lose weight you can't eat carbs! This place cannot be serious. I thought there was no way I could lose weight doing light/body weight exercises and eating carbs. Whatever. I said I would do it and I was too stubborn to quit. Besides if I quit, I couldn't say I told you so! Boy was I wrong! (It takes a lot for me to say that) I was assigned a coach (Franco) and connected to him via Facebook. If I ever had a question or concern, I always got a response back in a very timely manner. My 6 weeks at fitmo were some of the most motivating weeks of my life. I committed to the process and I will tell you it works. The classes bust your ass (in a good way) and make you feel amazing. The entire staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. As for the meal plan and prep, I don't think I ever felt hungry, which is something I wasn't used to when trying to lose weight. Learning how to meal prep took the excuses out of poor eating. I highly recommend fitmo to everyone. If you are someone who likes to workout but needs a change of pace, or if you're a novice that has no idea where to start, they are there for you every step of the way. At the end of my 6 weeks I lost 24 pounds and am armed with the knowledge to make smart food decisions. I miss the workout and will be looking to go back soon! Danny, Franco, Marta, Aurelie and Stephanie Thank you, Rob read more

It was a great challenge I lost 21lb n more to go Thank you so much Danny Workouts are very well designed Timings are just so perfect for me read more

I had an amazing time and experience with this team of excellent coached and trainers! Positive people with positive mindset! The goal of loosing 20 lbs in 6 weeks felt pretty hard to reach, and therefore it needed a constant push and encouragement from all the coaches. At the end of the 6-weeks challenge I exceeded my goal and lost 25 lbs! It feels wonderful and I couldn't have done it without the help of these guys! If you want to reach a hard-to-reach goal of loosing lots of weight and learning a healthier life-style, this is the place to go. If you are NOT looking for a babysitter who only feels sorry for you and agree that you are a victim, and instead want to change your current life-style to a better one, this is the place for you! Franco was my coach and he is absolutely amazing! However, I had the pleasure of working with every single trainer and they were all great trainers and excellent people! Thank you guys!! read more

Thank you for the Love my Fitmo coaches -Marta, Aurelie, Stephanie, Danny and Franco. I've been blessed with the opportunity to joined the 20lb 6 weeks challenge and through your commitment and desire to help us (challengers) achieved our goal; I was able to do it. Thanks to my family, friends and coworkers who cheered and encouraged me while in the challenge. I never imagined I can ever lose so many pounds much alone in 6 weeks. It was not easy, the moment I stepped into the Fitness & Motion camp to attend the orientation and hearing about commitment and the conditions required- to follow menu, prepping food for the week, and posting our food so coaches may monitor it. I've never done this before so I was not sure how it will turn out whether I can lose some pounds or not. At first, I thought to just keep it to myself, just in case I fail. But as Danny mentioned, we should involve our family and friends so that they can be our support. As soon as I start mentioning it openly to my family, friends, and coworkers, the more I get encourage. They became my private cheerleaders. Waking up early in the morning was hard too as it is around 40-50 degrees. But as soon as we get warmed up with a Happy Loop and Marta playing the music (Shakira!!!), the less I think about the coldness. The next thing I know, I am sweating so hard that it makes me want to do more exercise. Lastly, the hardest is staying away from the food I'm used to eating- adobo, pansit, sinigang, kare2 and all other traditional Filipino dishes. But as I stick to the plan (STTP), the more I learned about what, when and how much food I should eat. I eat more vegetables, learned to avoid fruits in the evening, and found my new bff- almonds! Minutes, hours, days and weeks have gone by so fast and I find myself really loving the workout. Family, friends and co-workers complimented how much I lost weight, and look good- yes, I feel good! I know my journey does not end after the challenge but rather have open possibilities to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Thank you again my Fitmo coaches..for the challenges you all bring to our classes . As your band says- Goal, Commit, STTP! It really works! Rock on my Fitmo family! Thank you for the LOVE! God Bless! read more

"How did you do it!?", I asked my friend whom I hadn't seen in a couple of months. Stephanie looked amazing and happy after losing 30 lbs. That's how I became friends with Fitness and Motion. :) It was like the perfect relationship; they were located close to my home and work, and offered quick (but intensely challenging) 30 minute high intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions. When I started, figuring I needed to jump start this new adventure, I signed up for their 6-week, 20 lbs off program. Seemed a little daunting, but I was determined to get through this successfully. With the awesome guidance of a coach, a personalized nutrition plan, HIIT sessions, and motivating people surrounding me, I was able to meet my goal of 20 lbs off in 6 weeks. It was incredibly challenging, sweaty, emotional, and at the end....amazing! I did it! Knowing that I went through and succeeded with this, only confirmed that we are amazing beings that can accomplish so many things if we just put our hearts, minds, and bodies in it. Not only has this experience proved great physically, but my walk in life is definitely more positive and encouraging. Thank you Fitness and Motion! read more

I just completed the 6 week challenge and lost 22 pounds.Fitness and Motion was recommended to me by one of my friend. I attended the orientation and instantly i knew this was the right place for me.During the initial weigh-in,I learned how to plan my meals and was given handouts of all the details. As Danny mentioned, eating clean and healthy is the key - stick to the plan (STTP). We were required to post pics of our daily meals.Coaches, team members were all there to guide - like a family supporting each other. They will give suggestions on what you can order if you are at a restaurant, so that you can STTP. Week after week as i started seeing the results my trust in the whole process kept growing. Trust me its not easy - i committed to the program and got results.The workout are awesome and get your heart rate up and pumping.They constantly keep mixing up workouts which target different areas of the body.A Thanks to the coaches (Danny,Marta, Aurelie, Stephanie, John) for keeping me on my toes and all the motivation provided. The facilities are clean and great music choices for the fHiiT workouts.Most of the classes i attended were taken by Marta, man she really knows how to push to person's limit. Thank You FitMo team. read more

I joined Fitness and Motion on April 21st for the 20 lb in 6 weeks challenge. I have tried many "diets" over the years to lose weight but never able to really lose the weight. What I found out is that calories in and calories out really does matter! In just 6 weeks, I lost 19.4 lbs!!!! Aurelie started me off with a personalized clean eating meal plan..notice I didn't say diet :) It is real food...foods I like. Its about portion control and eating 5-6 times a day. I have a very busy life and usually have a hard time just getting lunch on time so just the eating was a challenge, but once you lay out a plan and plan for it, it becomes easy to do. Rochelle was my team leader. She motivates without intimidation. All the trainers are there to help and encourage. Marta, Aurelie and Rochelle's sessions are hard work but fun at the same time. The workouts may only be 30 minutes but you get so much out of them. It makes working out when you have a busy life doable. Most of the workouts can also be done at home on the alternate days. I highly recommend Fitness and Motion to anyone who wants to lose weight, get in shape and have fun at the same time! Come join me..I'm going for another 15 lbs! read more

I am writing this review post 6 week challenge and I can say that they really push you and hold you accountable for your progress throughout. At the conclusion of the challenge, I can proudly say that I have lost 27.4 lbs and several inches around my body. My clothes fit a lot better and I can definitely say that I have a lot more confidence with how I carry myself. Danny and the team of trainers at Fitness and Motion want nothing more than to see yourself push to the highest potential. The trainers are very friendly and are always perceptive to any questions or concerns challengers have. The facilities are kept very clean and have everything needed for HIIT regimen. Men and women locker rooms are also included. Fitness and Motion is a great place for group workouts. Working out with others add to the fun and the sense of that communal goal of losing weight. It also helps that my girlfriend did the challenge with me (she was the one who got me into it). The challenge is doable by yourself since you will always have a group to work out with, but it is even better with someone you know. The work outs are offered multiple times a day so there is always at least one you can attend to. Fitness and Motion is a great place to start if you want a life style change or looking for an alternative gym environment. They will give you all the tools you need to be successful during the challenge. Their motto - Stick to the Plan (STTP), is the focus point of the program. As a successful challenger, I can tell you that it definitely works. What is the plan? Find out for yourself! read more

I am glad to learn of the unreasonable, irrational stance 2 people chose to make and conduct themself in so I can share this in hopes to give a heads up to how I was treated by these two at this gym and save others the hassle, waste of time to go there only to discover this type of behavior. This was a most bazaar, unwelcoming, blaming me for something I didnt do, lacking accountability to communicate effectively by a front end position person such as a reception guest agent Ive experienced where blame the potential guest or client for their employees problems with taking things out of context in a negative fashion and taking what they took out of context to mean that someone meant her personal anger or injury and proceeds to tell the manager how upset she is and its all due to me yelling at her and asking her the question if a person can wait to pay for a personal trainer until after they meet the personal trainer instead of signing up for a membership first. This receptionist did not Check in with me to say someting like sounds like we are getting cut off or your voice sounds louder. Then i could respond im driving, when i hear you cant hear me i move the speaker directly over my mouth and im getting lost while driving for which many replies could be stated...oh that makes sense can i help you get here or sorry to hear your having a hard time finfing us or oh lets talk when you get here which is what i suggested before the phone was cut off a second time, etc... From the perspective of my experience: im looking for a personal trainer. I called this company to attend a class and make an appointment for getting a personal trainer. The receptionist said you sign up for a membership first and then get a personal trainer and there is a class at 6:20. I asked 3x if I can meet a trainer first before paying for them as I prefer to meet the trainer first at a consultation appointment before paying, I like to meet the person Im hiring before I pay them and know what they are doing. I had her on speaker phone and was driving there, she kept putting me on hold stating she had to ask someone else the information and then said the same thing each time she got back on the phone with me in regards to that question of signing up for a membership first before meeting the trainer which is what i confirmed I heard 3x in regards to getting a trainer, she kept repeating the same thing yet adding let me check on that...I heard and confirmed what I heard: sign up for a membership then get a trainer after signing the membership contract and didnt confirm whether payment is made and then a trainer is assigned without meeting them or meet a trainer first and then pay for them. So I arrive at the gym expecting to pay $15 for the class and meet a trainer or go through their process to meet a trainer. I first was met by a man that asked why i was there. I stated to take the 6:20 class and find out about personal training. He then stated we dont tolerate negative here and I said I love that, sounds good. He then said you have to set up a personal training consultation so I said Okay. Then he left and came back and said I have to fill out a waiver and so I filled it out and he left again. Then he came back and said step outside, my receptionist said you yelled at her, and shes never been asked about membership and shes very upset and shaken up. I said I was on my speaker phone driving and it may have sounded like yelling. Then he gets the girl and says lets go in my office to work this out so i follow. Instead of working anything out, he said sorry but we cant have you at our gym ive had her with me for a year and I cant have this happen to her as he was massaging this young girls shoulder consoling her asking if she is okay and she couldnt speak. This was a young african or spanish mixed woman in early 20's. So I shake his hand and say I understand okay thank you and leave and I let him know I will share my experience on yelp and he says okay. So 2 people Ive never met in person when I arrived to their gym out of the box chose that behavior I described because the receptionist didnt like the tone I used and volume I had while driving to their location without checking in with me and assumed I was yelling at her vs any other scenario. read more

I am going to say what most people say, "I used to be fit back then." Back was a little more than a year ago for me. Changing jobs and doing countless overtime hours had deterred me from maintaining my fitness routine. Along with stress due to work and imbalance of personal life resulted in a LOT of comfort eating. Only about 6 months ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and blood pressure. Even after knowing that, I did not have the motivation of making a change. After discovering Fitness and Motion, I thought it would be a great push towards leading me to a healthier and happier life. I have not regretted joining, that is for sure. I am no stranger when it comes to working out, but the trainers creatively managed to put together new exercises everyday, which impressed me a great deal. They tore me down, wore me out, and here I am with only about a pound left to go before I hit 20 pounds and still a whole week to go! Their meal guidelines grant you a variety of options never leaving you bored of eating the same meals day in and day out. They gave great tips and advice every time I was struggling. I am really ecstatic that I have lost more than 5% body fat throughout this program. I am very grateful to all the staff members at Fitmo and definitely recommend anyone who has more than 20 pounds to lose (okay from doctor) and wants to change, but is lacking the knowledge and/or motivation to try this and put your faith in them. Do this for yourself! read more

What amazing motivation! I just finished the 6 week 20lb challenge and lost over 23lbs!!! I've struggled for years to keep my weight down. Tried several "fad" diets and other expensive weight loss programs but nothing has stuck like this. The staff at fitmo are so encouraging and the "fitmo family" is amazing, everyone wants you to succeed. They give you all the tools you need to be successful at changing your life for good. I highly recommend taking the leap and joining, you won't regret it. read more
