FitShop - Albuquerque, NM
I have nothing but good things to say about Fitshop. I love this place! I made the decision after hearing tons and tons of radio ads daily to make some major lifestyle changes. I'm about three months in and NO REGRETS.
Everyone I have run into in my weekly meetings is awesome! The assistant at the front desk is BOMB. She's such a sweetheart and so kind! All of the coaches are really nice and polite.
Art Simoni is my coach and he is amazing! I've lost close to, if not over 20 lbs since starting here. Some of that however was before coming to see them, but that doesn't change the fact that I have actually stuck to something that normally always failed after (or before) the month mark.
The diets are great, though it does take some getting used to. I don't get quite the same meal plans I used to, but that's mostly because I'm handling it myself and that's how I'm okay with having it. I know what I am supposed to eat now, so I don't need my hand held the whole way. While yes, as some reviewers stated, you might be able to get the same meal plans online, that doesn't change that you are being held accountable by a coach who HAS experience and you get that face to face time which really makes a big difference.
Trust me, I have tried what feels like 10 million diets online, all failed. The only one that came close to working was Weight Watchers, but I never went to in person sessions and that is totally making the difference. It's not just someone to coach you or hold you accountable, they have been through this in some way themselves, and they celebrate your success with you!
Also unlike what some negative reviews say, at least with my coach, I can check in with him, and sometimes he checks in too. Again though, I know what is expected of me each week, I can reach out at any time I need to, things are good! I'm happy with the way the coaching sessions work each week, and I actually look forward to them, even if some weeks aren't as great as others. At least they don't beat you up over bad weeks. You get what you put into this, and that can't always be put on the coach. They can't make you eat right or workout, or even take your supplements. YOU have to be responsible for you, but they just help guide you every week!
Also, love the supplements here! The contour elite system is awesome. I was skeptical the first month, maybe even month and a half if they were working, but no more doubts! They work, and they really help. They don't lose the weight for you though, you still need to eat right and workout, but they do SUPPLEMENT your weight loss! I love this place. I'm signed up for 6 months, and yes it is a tad pricey, but I'm getting my life back, and it's actually working so I don't care about the cost. It's worth it if it improves the quality and quantity of my years! I plan on going until I hit around my goal weight, which at this rate might be slightly past the 6 months, but again...it's so worth it!
You get a free consultation with them to begin with, so stop waiting! Just go try it, and give it at least 2 months before you throw in the towel. You'll love it!! read more
