I came to LifeBODYFitness hoping to gain some confidence back after a series of injuries and to help break my cycle of long sedentary work hours. After some bad gym experiences and not "clicking" with other trainers, I had almost given up and my motivation was low. In just a few months of working with Celeste (as well as the positive and friendly energy that comes from other trainers who are often present), I'm feeling like my body is strong again. I am looking forward to taking things up a notch.

I started training with Celeste in January to get in shape for my wedding (which was 3 weeks ago). Of all the trainers I've had in the past (6 to be exact), Celeste is by far the most knowledgeable and most creative trainer I've had. Every session is new and different - I NEVER get bored. I lost inches and toned up all over - everyone at my wedding commented and complimented me on my fit body. Celeste makes me work hard, but I am always excited to go in for my session because she is personable and encouraging. I recommend Life Body Fitness to anyone who is looking for a tough workout and a great atmosphere. Tiffany, the owner, is super nice and has created the perfect environment for a private, personal workout.

I'd just turned 50 and was completely bummed about it! I'd been trying to lose weight on my own but quickly fell back into old habits. I'd drive by lifebodyfitness every day on my way to work and often wondered what it would be like to hire a personal trainer. I finally walked in on a Friday with a specific goal and on Monday was beginning a 5 day a week, 12 week program to lose weight, get fit, and be in good health and spirits! Tiffany's program included following a specific diet (and keeping a diary of everything I ate) and weight training mixed with cardio. After 15 weeks I've lost 18 lbs. (my husband's lost 25 lbs. by simply following the diet plan!) and about 10 inches total (and gone from a size 12 to a size 8!) But that's just the mechanics -- the real joy is spending half an hour with Tiffany every day as she motivates, encourages, and expertly guides you through the sessions, crafting exercises to meet your specific needs and abilities, joking, laughing, and even counting reps in Italian to distract you from the pain! Her staff of trainers and the other customers are also great fun to be around, which makes it such a rewarding time. Best decision I ever made and well-worth the commitment!

Several years ago, because of an injury to my back, I stopped exercising with the predictable weight gain result. When my pants stopped fitting I knew I had to do something.

Early this year I was searching for a fitness regime that would help get me back in shape without hurting my back. I interviewed several places such as the big fitness clubs and some pilates places and finally Life Body Fitness, a boutique personal training gym near downtown.

At the interview I was impressed for several reasons. First all the trainers have real training and background in fitness and health not just a passing interest in fitness and an hour's orientation to some fitness equipment. Second they engaged me in a real conversation about my goals and and asked to review my back problems before starting a training program. Finally, the people, Celeste in particular, are real, warm, helpful and knowledgeable.

Those were the factors that got me in the door.

But I stay because I am getting real results with an intelligent and varied program that keeps me challenged and rewarded. Celeste constantly introduces new exercises that keep me from getting bored, and hurt. She insures that I work all of the muscle groups. As I make progress she increases the difficulty of the workouts which keeps me engaged.

My wife and I are planning a month long trip in the fall and Celeste has designed a special workout program we can do while traveling so we don't lose the gains we have already made. A nice and very appreciated extra.

Would I recommend them? Absolutely and have recommended them to friends.

But I hope you stay away - I want to keep this wonderful place to myself!!!

PS That closet full of pants now fit wonderfully.

I work out with Celeste, and she is very adept at tailoring workouts to the individual. Her enthusiasm and varied routines makes me want to return. I'd highly recommend LifeBody Fitness if you want to get in shape.
