I am getting old! I don't mind it. I am 46 years old and a grandma already and that keeps me busy. I am a nurse and know the importance of good physical fitness. I had heard of Infit but never thought it would be for me. My sister, who is 9 years younger, invited me to join her for a class. I said yes but really wanted an excuse to bow out, I envisioned young, skinny gals clad in stylish outfits, totally out of my league. but she paid so I thought I would try it once and It's always fun to be with your sister. So when we were heading there I told her "I'll be the oldest one there". and she said "Oh no you'll be surprised " and I got there and she was right! There were women of every age! Women & men and it was fun! Everyone was smiling and cheering each other on. I got a great work out, had fun and have been back over and over! Each time with a diverse fun group! It really makes working out fun with lots of flexibility which works with my busy schedule and has been great in the winter months when I feel so cooped up!
Thanks Infit for making it a great atmosphere for all of us!

I happened to stumble across a coupon for InFit while getting my haircut one day about a year ago. I thought, "what the heck," I'll give it a try. I had been a member of Jazzercise, Lifetime, Gold's and other gyms in the past, but always found myself canceling after just a few months. I figured this would be another one of those places. Boy, was I wrong! The biggest difference for me and the reason why I have stuck with InFit is the social experience! I get to look forward to
not only working out, but also seeing my "workout friends." We even find ourselves communicating and meeting up with each other outside of our workouts! InFit has made me a more healthy person physically, mentally, and SOCIALLY! Thanks InFit!

What does InFit mean to me?
I love InFit, it has changed my life!
I was introduced to InFit by my dear friend Dawn Roberts. Dawn asked me if I would like to come to a class sometime. I was finally at a point in my life where I decided I needed to do something for myself. After getting married and having a family, I put myself aside for everyone else. It was very hard for me to walk through the door for the first time, but once I came I felt inspired and welcomed. I decided to start with the Group Personal Training at 5am 3 days a week and work into the group training classes. That first Monday is where my life changed. I love working out at 5am, I have been doing personal training ever since. I have seen the scale consistently going down since I started. Although, I admit sometimes it went down more than other times. I have seen and felt my body change since day one. I celebrate each small milestone and I am determined to let nothing stop me. Recently, I just bought my first pair of size 14 jeans. It has been at least 20 years since I had a size 14. I feel happier and healthier than I have felt in years.
I want to thank InFit, they taught me how to work out, they have inspired me on those days it was difficult to get to those 5am classes. I have been working out with a torn rotator cuff so some days are more difficult because I am in a sling but I have learned I will never give up, my journey has just begun and I am so excited to see where it will take me. I have learned more than just working out, InFit has taught me about nutrition and have given me that little push I needed. Where else can you go see your girlfriends and have fun? InFit is my place to be.

I love InFit!!!!!!!I started classes last April and cannot quit!!! I have never been so toned in my life! Not to mention I have lost 20 pounds! Infit is awesome on so many levels. You are always challenged in every class even if you take that class all the time! I like the fact that the instructors get to know everyone by name! They push you as well because they all so strongly believe in what they do and they want great results for you! There is great energy the minute you walk through those front doors!! Alot of us have made new friends and gotten to know old friends even better because of our passion for InFit! And as far as inFIT Kids Childcare goes, Ryley loves all his teachers. And its great that they have gotten to know him and he always looks forward to going there!!! I simple cannot imagine my life without InFit!!!!

Inspiration Fitness has not only changed my body, but has altered my entire outlook on life. A year ago I didn’t know what working out meant; to me a brisk walk was a strenuous workout. After spending a year with the incredible InFit staff, I have gained so much knowledge which has not only changed my life, but has positively changed the lives of so many people around me.
One year ago I weighed 148 pounds and felt pretty good about myself. Today, I weigh about thirty pounds less, and completely embrace my new way of life. With the knowledge I’ve gained and the relationships that I’ve formed, I now understand what it means to be healthy.
I have learned that exercise isn’t just a tool to lose weight, but a lifelong commitment to health. Not only do I physically benefit from exercise, I emotionally find it very fulfilling. Now that InFit has moved and expanded taking on Anytime Fitness as well, the opportunities to stay fit and healthy are limitless. The knowledge that I’ve learned at InFit has greatly enhanced my individual workouts at Anytime.
InFit gave me the courage, knowledge, and support that I needed to transform my lifestyle, and for that I will always be thankful.

As for myself I knew for a long time that I needed to get back at taking time for my own health and fitness but it was so hard to get motivated and was delayed due to an accident. After two months I'm already down 15lbs and committed to shedding many more. It's funny...all along I knew exactly what I needed to do to make the change and that once I started I would continue but it was taking the time and committing to the first step that was the challenge and it is great to have a gym so close to home as it definitely removes a barrier when schedules are hectic.

I have always loved food, but during a recent divorce, found solace and comfort in it more than ever. In addition to the emotional eating, I realize now, I was becoming physically lethargic. I had very little energy, and wanted to nap all the time. Then a routine trip to the doctor made me wake up. I got on that doctor’s scale (you know, they are ALWAYS high) and was shocked and disgusted at how much weight I had gained. I thought to myself, “Why have you let yourself go like this?” I literally drove straight to Infit and signed up. It has been almost exactly a year since I started, and although not all the weight is off (YET), I feel a thousand times better, not only physically, but emotionally too! I have met many new friends, reconnected with old ones, and now have an abundance of energy! Infit’s classes are extremely challenging and so much fun! I am very excited and committed to reaching my fitness goals! Thanks to Infit, I am no longer spending my days eating comfort foods and wanting to nap, I am on the website looking at what classes I can take that day!
