I love Stow Fitness. Let me count the ways…read more 1. An old-style gym. Nothing fancy, just tons of weights and machines. The best staff, and as a tribute to Dave, the owner, many have been there since the last century. 2.I walk into the locker room and am transported back sixty years to my high school locker room. It's the familiarity; what I don't miss is the group shower. 3.No nonsense. People are there to work out, and no one sits on a machine scrolling through their phone. In fact, people are exceptionally courteous. "Are you done with that?" My answer is, "There are another sixty torture devices I can use." One more plus. More women use that gym than men, and the men who do don't gawk. If they do, they are gone.

I lost almost 2 inches in my belly (that was a big win win) Finally, I'm not only lost the weight in my most concerned areas but as a bonus got so much stronger in shoulder and chest areas. I absolutely will continue to work out with Slava and Anna constantly. They are amazing people who care about your goals and check on you all the time! Below are my images (3 weeks apart)

I need a personal trainer who will come to me. I have had personal trainers before, but working out with them was sufficiently unmoving or unpleasant that I stopped. Then I was incredibly lucky and I found Slava. Even though I dislike doing exercise, because of Slava's engagement, dedication, and terrific and supportive personality working out with him has been not just bearable, but fun! We've worked together for over a year, and he now comes to my house 3-4 times a week. I'm in better shape than I have ever been. If you need a personal trainer, you will not find anyone better!
