MY WEIGHT LOSS STORY: In March of 2008 at the age of 36 years old I joined Weight Watchers, which I have succeeded on in the past. By the end of June that year I had lost just over 19 pounds, I was feeling great and then the summer came around. Gradually little by little I started gaining weight back. All of a sudden in the late fall my knees started to hurt when I would walk up and down the stairs and when I sat on the floor to play with my six year old son, my legs really hurt to cross and it was difficult to even keep them crossed. I, at this point was completely disgusted and as usual complained to my girlfriend Camille. She had mentioned a trainer that she was going to and I just forgot about it. Christmas came around and my husband, Gary bought me a gift certificate for 10 personal training sessions with 2 free to Absolutely Fit in North Bellmore (the same place my girlfriend Camille was going to). I was so excited, I was ready. Camille called Christmas morning and said we already have the start date booked and we are going to train 3 days a week, we are going January 5th 2009. I walked in on that day not knowing what to expect and met my trainer Sue Sachs. I weighed in at 196 pounds, not only did I gain all of my 19 I had lost the year before but I gained an additional 3 pounds on top of that. I just looked at Sue and said you really have your work cut out for you. We discussed my goals and what I was looking for and she assured me if I kept going to her and changed my eating habits that I would see results. She immediately made me feel comfortable and I felt as if I had known her for a long time, we just clicked right away. The first 2 weeks I honestly had a hard time
walking; I was so sore and didn’t even realize the muscles
I had that were aching. I lived on Advil and got through it. In
3 months I am proud to say I had lost 18 pounds and an overall
of 12 body inches. I still have a way to go but I honestly feel
so much better. It’s not about being on a diet, for me it
was a life style change. Now I can't believe that I look back and
I am 28 lbs lighter and healthier. I am truly grateful for finding Absolutely Fit and my trainer Sue. For the first time in a long time I feel healthy and in much better physical shape. By far this is the best gift that I received but even more importantly the best gift to myself and my family. Stay tuned………………… I’ve
only just begun! |

| I have been doing
personal training with Wendy for almost one year.
Wendy has helped me to change my body and my life. In just
a few months, I was able to fit back into my pants. But what is even more impressive is how spectacular I feel. The increase in my energy level has given me a sense of renewal. I have a newfound reservoir of enthusiasm. Wendy is amazing. So why has Absolutely Fit been such a success for me? We do something different every time. The variety actually makes the hard work a lot of fun. I look forward to my workout three days a week. There is also a very high level of professionalism at Absolutely Fit and everyone is very cheerful and encouraging always. - Carolyn L |

| 55 years old
and loving exercise
Who would have thought at 55 I would love to exercise? I always loved walking, but never thought I would love to do personal training. Then one day my doctor told me I was at risk for osteoporosis and I needed to start an exercise program soon. Then he told me I had high cholesterol too and that soon meant NOW! I had heard about Susan and Wendy through the neighborhood. If you know these 2 women, you would agree they were the ones to help me. I called them that day and went over my medical history and findings. A program for “ME” was put together and I began my training sessions with them. OUCH AND WOW all in one is all I can say! I train 3 times a week and I have never felt better. It’s been 6 month s of training and now I do it all. Weight training, boxing, spin and cardiovascular training. You name it I can do it. I am stronger and fit all around. I even lost 15 lbs, which I wasn’t even going there for, but they got the weight off of me too. Overall health and fitness, INSIDE AND OUT. Personal training is AMAZING I love it |

Personal training was right for me. As I sit here and write this testimonial I think about who I was before I met Wendy and Susan. I was out of shape and over weight. I just had a baby several months before and I was unhappy with my body and my health. I was exhausted and didn’t give myself any time for ME. Someone told me about these two women and explained to me the group fitness classes. That clearly was not what I was looking for. I felt I need individualized attention and guidance. So I called them and set up a meeting with them to go over my personal goals and needs. I had a session the next day and I have never looked back. I am 20 pounds lighter, healthier and in shape. Susan and Wendy together help me 3 times a week reach levels I never dreamed possible. Their constant support and motivation get me up in the morning and to the studio. They are all about proper form and performing each and every exercise perfect. I love being sore and knowing I DID IT! It is all about making yourself happier, doing for yourself so that you can do for others. Now they pushed me into (yes pushed me into) Spinning and I LOVE IT! My husband said he has never seen me so happy and loving exercise. My friends ask what are you doing? I say going to ABSFIT! Thank you Wendy and Susan for changing my life - Susan B. |

| BORED-NOT! Boredom is never a factor when training with Wendy, Sue or Merri. Tired, screaming muscles…Yes. Sweat, heart pumping, "I can't believe I'm still standing," and gladly doing one more push-up or lunge… Yes. Boredom. NO! A personal training session is a half hour of intense "FAT BE DAMNED!" workout. With Wendy's firm and exacting style, she keeps me focused, wanting to learn and do the exercises correctly; or Sue's energetic personality which is infectious causing me to push on when my body says "no more, please." And then there is Merri's delightful sense of "fun with exercise" which seems to take some of the pain out of crunches. I can only say thank you ladies, because the result is in a small amount of time my body has responded by firming up giving me more energy to deal with whatever dramas are happening in my life. I feel healthy... - Thank you…Stevie |

Wendy and Susan
changed my life! After working out fairly steadily for years
-on and off with personal trainers- with only moderate results,
I became disillusioned with exercise and training. Not quite ready
to throw in the towel, and looking for something new, I checked
out ABSolutely Fit. It was the best thing I could have done. The
personal training I get from Wendy and Susan is like no other!
The workouts are always new and always challenging. Having two
female trainers who really understand my goals and know how to
help me reach them has changed my whole view of working out. Instead
of dreading my workouts, I look forward to them . Susan and Wendy
vary the work-outs, mix them up -keep them fresh. The variation
keeps me focused, and keeps me from being bored. In addition to
their expertise in training, Susan and Wendy provide phenomenal
motivation as well as inspiration. Not only do I feel great about
working out, but I feel like I’m getting results as well.
Thank you, Wendy and Susan!! |

IT’S OWNED BY WOMEN BUT NOT JUST FOR WOMEN When my friends first heard I was going to ABSolutely Fit to start Personal training, they ALL said isn’t that owned by 2 women? Aren’t the trainers there just girls? Well the answer to them was yes. I was never into the group fitness and I wouldn’t be in a room of 50 ladies, but when I heard that ABSolutely Fit was only Personal training I knew I was in for a good “whipping”. I train with both Susan and Wendy 3 sometime 4 days a week, if I am lucky. I have trained with trainers for the last 15 years and never did I walk out feeling the way I do after I work out there. Every muscle is shaking and walking is a challenge to get the car. I happen to find it extremely funny that this 2 tiny ladies can make a 45 year old, 6’2, 200 lb guy feel this way. My cardiovascular strength is the best it has ever been. My stamina and endurance has improved dramatically. So if you are a guy and you thought ABSFit couldn’t give you an amazing workout THINK AGAIN Thanks, |

asked my mom and dad how I can learn to be more fit before school
starts again. Thank you Susan and Wendy for teaching me to be healthy and in shape. Katie the push up girl |
