FT is not only better than any gym I’ve ever been to, they are better than any coach, workout buddy or mentor I’ve had – they are miracle workers! Thank you FT for changing my entire outlook on life!

Trey’s Results:
- Lost 45 lbs of fat
- Lost 7.5” around waist
- Down 10.5% body fat since February
- Lowered cholesterol from 252 to 182

FT has given me a new lease on life. I was overweight, under motivated, had little or no muscle tone, and very little stamina. Having lost the use of my left leg because of a dissected aorta, I knew I needed more strength in that leg, but didn’t know what to do to help. In short, after one and half years of physical therapy, I had come to the point where I didn’t think I could get any better. When I started the Fitness Together program, I could barely ride my bicycle around our block, now I’m riding that same bicycle on the trails at Palmetto Islands County Park for an hour at a time. I am down to 164 pounds, my cholesterol has plummeted to 182 overall, and my energy level has increased dramatically. And, I don’t think I’m finished improving. I believe there are better days ahead! Because of FT, I have been able to work hard and because of that, gotten a great reward.

What a difference FT has made in my life. They are awesome! I have more energy and confidence than I have had in years. If you are serious about getting results FT is the place for you. I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never felt better.

I am writing to tell you about my experience with Fitness Together and in particular, Brian Durbin. I received a flyer in the mail and like so many pieces of mail thought about discarding it. My wife convinced me to look it over and I found that it offered a free evaluation. I got the evaluation which indicated that I was below average in almost every category. I was very impressed with Brian because he is so knowledgeable about training, health and nutrition. Having been in the medical world for my whole life, I found that very supportive and not something that you find in most trainers.

I was more impressed when I realized that during that initial evaluation, he was evaluating my commitment at the same time I was evaluating what he and the gang at FT had to offer. I believe that if he had sensed a lack of commitment, he would have rejected me as a client. You just don't find that attitude at regular gyms.

I have been a client of Brian's for one year, and I can sum up my experience as "life saving". Without a doubt, Brian and the FT group have saved my life. I started out weak, lethargic and terribly out of shape, but with the constant encouragement and the one on one training, I have lost almost 40 pounds and become more muscular than I ever imagined I would. I know that I have added years to my life from this training and I plan to stay with it as long as possible. For the record, I am 62 years old and have not been in this kind of shape since I left the Marine Corps 40 years ago.

I would enthusiastically recommend Brian, Josh and the FT group to anyone with one reservation; you must be committed to bettering your health. If you are, they can work wonders for you. If you aren't, you will not get the tremendous benefits they offer. So once again I would say that what they offer is nothing short of life saving! Thanks FT!

I have never participated in a program that gave me such great results in such a short amount of time. I attribute this to the Fitness Together concept of one-to-one personal attention to diet, cardio exercise, and specific training tailored to my needs and abilities. I have been active all my life and have consistently practiced Pilates for the past 10 years. This has been enough to sustain my overall fitness until the last few years, when my mid-section grew more and more out of proportion. Since I am 62 years old, I began to believe what I was told: it’s just age. Fitness Together proved to me that wasn’t true. In a few short months I saw real results: loss in weight and body fat, gain in strength, stamina, cardio fitness, and better overall body shape.

Many people can go to a gym and work out independently and get good results. For me, it is far too easy to shortchange myself because of work or family obligations. Even if I were to work out alone on a regular basis, I doubt I would push myself to the level necessary to achieve the best results. Most of us do not know how to train hard enough and at the same time train safely. Because I have an appointment with someone who is knowledgeable and supportive, I try not to miss that opportunity. I can’t stand to disappoint “Coach Brian,” so I am faithful to my food journal, my cardio workouts, and my sessions at Fitness Together (even when it’s been a really rough day, week, or month!). My workouts at Fitness Together are the highlight of my week; they are structured to challenge me and at the same time make me feel successful. These trainers are skilled not just in the exercise physiology they practice, but in the psychology of motivating people to be the best they can be. What a great reward for this has been for me!

My recommendation for Fitness Together is nothing less than excellent. Their professionalism, fitness expertise and motivation are absolutely geared to each individual client’s goals. They are always willing to motivate and challenge their client’s goals and progress. They have instructed and guided me to a level of fitness I thought was beyond my reach. Their whole program of fitness training, along with diet recommendations, has been remarkable for me. I’m 15 pounds lighter and best of all I have lost almost 9% body fat. I look and feel so much better. They have given me a path to follow for a healthier and happier life.

The clock was quickly counting down to my BIG birthday. I didn’t really mind the age only looking it. I felt out of shape and tired of losing 2 lbs. during the week and gaining 3 on the weekends. Although I had been working out, a bad lower back and bad knee made me fearful of pushing myself too hard. After 25 sessions with Fitness Together I am now in better shape than I was 20 years ago and nothing hurts!! I can’t believe the number of people that have approached me and asked what I have been doing. My blood pressure, heart rate, measurements and body fat have all gone down and my strength has increased. I have enjoyed the intensity of the workouts, the watchful cautious eye making sure of correct form, and the enthusiastic encouragement. It is hard to believe how much I have accomplished and know I couldn’t have done with without Fitness Together.

I started working out at FT a few months after I had my second baby. I had gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant with my first and had retained a lot of it when I got pregnant again. I was so out of shape, and was always tired. I tried a million times to get on a healthy eating plan and exercise routine, and could never stick with it. Then I started working out with FT, and now, three months later, I have lost nearly 30 pounds, and have gone down 3 sizes!!! I have never felt better, and I am actually starting to like exercising now. Fitness Together is so different from everything else I have tried because, not only do they train you when you are here, it is an entire approach to getting fit and staying that way. They help plan your cardio and give you a model for good eating that is easy to stick with. Plus, the trainers really care about their clients. I have to say, though, that the thing I have loved most about it is no matter how much weight I had gained, and no matter how out of shape I was when I started, I never once felt like I was being looked down on or judged. It has always been a very positive experience, and I know that this is a lifestyle change that I am going to finally be able to stick with for life!!

My son and I first started training at FT, just after my chemotherapy ended, and it was recommended by my oncologist for strengthening, nutrition advice and (in my case) weight gain. The staff are professional, accommodating, flexible and concerned about each client individually. The total fitness plan, especially, helped me to eat better balanced food and be more conscious of calories and the type of calories needed. I have incorporated many of their recommendations into my daily eating routine, and I find I feel healthier, stronger and more like my self again. My son’s overall fitness has improved through the training, and the results show in how much stronger he is and how he feels in his PE class at school…many times going beyond the goals of his program, which makes him very happy.

What an awesome find! I was looking for something or someone who would give me guidance and motivation without having to join a gym. The Durbin brothers have really sparked a passion for me and now I can see the importance of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I feel so much stronger and I have a lot more energy to do things around the house and enjoy my 2 year old son. I’ve changed my eating habits and now participate in some form of exercise 3-4 times a week. This new lifestyle has changed my perspective in life and now I realize that God really intended us to take care of our bodies and treat them right. I believe “Fitness Together” helped me realize this.
