"Less than six months ago I was approaching 270 pounds, the heaviest I have ever been.

In retrospect I can now say it was one of the best things I have ever done."

"Having been overweight as a child, and an adult, I had failed at every diet out there. The difference between this and working with Push Fitness, is how my mind is being made over. Throughout the past 7 months, my trainer Wade, has been just the right source of accountability, encouragement, and attention. Wade continues to help me to see past my own hang-ups, and ensures me that I can keep going. You can't get these kinds of benefits with a fad diet. Thank you Push Fitness, I am enjoying the change!"

"I knew what to do but I didn't take the time to do it. I didn't PUSH myself. I thought personal trainers were only for the rich and famous so I never paid attention to them. Boy, was I wrong. In 11 months of working out, I lost 91 pounds and went from a size 20 to size 8. But I didn't stop there. I continue to work out 3 times a week because now it's part of my life. I look and feel healthier, younger, and have more energy. Friends, family, and even strangers comment on how good I look. If I can do it, so can you. Come join me at Push Fitness!"

"At age 54 and almost 220 pounds, I decided to get a personal trainer. Over the years I had tried just about every diet as well as exercising on my own. Nothing worked. What a difference when I started training with Ryan. I lost 85 pounds and gained my life back! Not only did I learn the proper way to exercise and eat, but it was fun! I felt like I was no longer doing this alone as I had his support. I used to think having a personal trainer was a luxury - now I feel it's a necessity. After all, what better investment can one make than to invest in one's health? I am now healthier than most of my friends who are in their 40's."

"Push Fitness changed my life. Before meeting Mark Trapp I had been going to the gym consistently for over a year and had struggled with my weight my whole life. I had even gone to trainers at a mainstream gym and was still struggling to see the change I wanted. Mark not only educated me on fitness and nutrition he motivated and encouraged me to do better. Under his tutelidge my body underwent the transformation I had been wanting for so long. Mark is an amazing trainer and truly cares about his clients. I am very grateful for his guidance. I finally reached my fitness goal and I can thank him for making that attainable for me."
