To Whom It May Concern:

Fitness Concepts has been a miracle for my family in today’s age of poor eating and limited activity. Fitness Concepts is a place where you can turn yourself around. After 6 months of training and seeing the awesome physical results, I enrolled all 3 of my kids. The trainers customize each program to fit our needs. The results have been amazing. Best decision I ever made for me and my kids.

Dear Armando,

In mid July I was at my sons piano practice and was killing time looking at magazines, at that time I was feeling tired, stressed, and hated the way I looked. My clothes were getting bigger and I was eating horribly for my body. I knew I had to do something because my Doctor had told me in January that my blood pressure was high for my age (146/99) and losing weight would help along with a good diet. As I was going through some magazines I came across a Fitness Concepts ad. It offered a free 2 day trial pass, and having nothing to lose, I set up an appointment and went in to see if I could afford to do this. After all, only rich people can afford their own trainers, right? Wrong. I trained with you and you made me feel comfortable and answered any questions that I had. The equipment was easy to use and they were connected to a satellite TV (what else could I ask for) so while I walked on the treadmill I could also watch TV. I signed up with you on July 16, 2005 and at that time I was wearing size 16 pants which actually fit pretty snug. Almost three months have passed now and I am now wearing a size 12 pant. That’s three sizes smaller!!!! Wow, and this is just the beginning. I still have several months to go, before I am where I would like to be at. I am proof that if a person just sticks to your diet and exercise regimen they will see and feel results. I recently checked my blood pressure and it read (119/79) which is where it is supposed to be and I feel great! I have energy as a result of my training and my stress level is lower. I have removed all the junk food in my home and haven’t missed it at all. Armando you have helped me so much and have been patient with me in regards to my schedule, I cannot thank you enough. I promise to work hard for you and know I will meet my goal very soon. I have recommended you to anyone who has asked about getting in shape and the money I have put towards this has been the best thing I have ever done for myself and my husband who has also joined. Armando you’re the best!!!!!

Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern:

When Christine asked me to write a letter explaining how she has impacted my life, I thought to myself this would probably be one of the easiest letters I would ever have to write, since Christine has done so much for me.

Let me go back two years ago when I first saw Christine, who by the way came very highly recommended. I was a borderline diabetic, and I had high blood pressure, I was suffering from chronic migraine headaches and I had just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by fatigue, widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, and multiple tender points – places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. I had fibromyalgia so bad that it hurt to turn the pages of a book when I read to my two year old daughter. I reached a point in my life that I was tired of living my life in pain. I had a hard time getting out of bed and doing every day things. When I met Christine I explained to her how I felt and everything that I was going through. What I loved about Christine was that during that whole time that I was explaining to her how I felt she never made me feel uncomfortable, or less than perfect. She was just the opposite. She encouraged me when I felt down, and helped me work through the pain until I got to the point that I was strong enough to work through it myself. I am not saying that Christine cured me from everything, but if it was not for her I would probably be on disability and on pain killers like most people who have fibromyalgia. I thank God for Christine and I appreciate everything she has done for me. Although, I still have some pain from the fibromyalgia it is nowhere near the pain that I had two years ago and I truly owe that to Christine.

I appreciate Christine for everything she has done and I know that I will be a lifetime client of hers and I will always highly recommend her, just like she came to me, very highly recommend. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me at 909-230-3189.

Sincerely,

Armando,

My wife was first to join Fitness Concepts and then asked me to come try a workout session with her. At first I was a little skeptical about joining a gym and figured why I need to go when we had a treadmill and weights at home that I could use. I am definitely glad that she convinced me to go and try the place out. I was set up with my personal trainer Frank, who right from the start has always made sure that I kept correct form when lifting weights and stayed focused on my goals. He has shared with me his knowledge from years of training himself and what he learned about muscle development and physical fitness in school. Within the last 2 months I have seen increased muscle mass in both my upper and lower body, increased energy levels, and my clothing fits me much better. Fitness Concepts is not like any other fitness place that I have been to. I feel that everyone who goes there has really set their minds to getting into great physical shape and are going because they want to be there, not because someone told them it would be good idea. I would recommend to anyone who wants true one on one training with a highly knowledgeable staff to join and not waste their time going somewhere else. I know that Frank will help me reach my goals and that his constant motivation helped me choose to stay healthy for my wife, children, and myself for life.

Thanks Again,
Ed Portugal
