“Thank you for all your help with training. I can’t believe that in 3 short months, I lost 8 pounds and several inches all over my body! My favorite thing is how strong my core is. I can’t believe how great that feels and I notice a real difference when I do normal daily tasks and when I run.
I really needed someone to push me with my workouts so I could get the results I wanted and you exceeded my expectations. Your workouts were amazing and I appreciated the fact that they didn’t require much equipment and were so versatile that I didn’t get bored! You also have a natural way of motivating that helped me push myself in our workouts.
Your assistance with my nutrition was extremely helpful. I didn’t think I needed too much help in this area before we started working together but soon found out how wrong I was about that. I am eating better than I ever have and feel amazing. I truly appreciate all your help with getting me back in shape!”

"So you might want to tell your future clients of the side effects of you training them. I have two different waist sizes on my jeans, 36 and 34. When I started with you, the 36 were loose and the 34 were tight. Now the 36 fall off and they are loose. You never disclosed this to me and now I want my money back and fat stomach back. Damn you!"

“I hired Doug and Michelle to help my 82-year-old father with his balance and fitness. My father is a very active man and start going to the gym three times per week in his late 70s. However, he learned one set of exercises and was just repeating those same exercises without appropriate guidance. As such, despite his attempts to remain fit he continued to have balance problems. He fell a couple of times at home, and I worried about him being injured by falling.
I decided it was time to do something. I started looking for a personal trainer to work with him. Before starting I looked into several personal trainers and explained that I needed someone with experience with older clients and wanted a focus on balance and proprioception. Doug and Michelle had the experience I was looking for and a clear plan for how they were going to help my dad.
After only two months working with Doug, my dad is stronger and has a better balance. No falls recently. They tailor the workouts to my dad and work with him in the convenience of his own home. Their prices are very reasonable and affordable even for my parents who are on a fixed income.
I’m a physician and I know the dangers of elderly falling. Older people who are perfectly functional have a fall at home, break a hip and from there it is a tragic downward spiral because it is so hard for the elderly to rehab such a severe injury. Many never get to return home and end up in a nursing facility, others have recurrent falls or iatrogenic illnesses, very few return to their old quality of life. I don’t want that for my dad and I am so thankful that working with Doug has improved my dad’s balance and potentially added several functional, quality years to his life.”

“I have worked out all my life but was finding that I was struggling with some daily tasks. After my son reached out, I began working with a personal trainer, Geordan. My blood pressure has improved, I'm able to get off the ground with much more ease, and my balance has improved. I'm also curling 20 lbs, which I haven't done in years. I know I'm not 25 anymore, but I feel great!”

“New Years Day 2012 I made the decision to get myself in shape. I had let myself go, eating what I wanted whenever I wanted and packing on 30+ pounds over the years. I decided that if I was going to do this, that I needed some professional help and chose the staff at 805GetFit to help me out by providing personal training. Boy did they!! In eight short weeks, I had dropped twenty-six pounds. I can’t believe that I went from a size 36 pant to a size 32. Incredible! The only bad news… I had to buy all new pants. I look and feel 10 years younger and can’t thank Doug and Michelle enough.”
