I have been training with Laura since July and have had some nutritional counseling with Mark. Both are very professional, very amicable and flexible with working around my work schedule. They have made getting healthy an attainable goal for me and have helped me to set smaller, incremental goals in order to reach my overall goal of a healthier and happier lifestyle. I would certainly recommend Live Fit to anyone.

I have been working with Mark for about 6 months now. I have a bad shoulder and have had back problems in the past. Mark first worked to understand my past, then he created a tailored workout strategy for me. I am slowly but consistently regaining my core strength and have noticably lost weight and have even seen progress of definition in my shoulders, back, and arms. Mark has a inviting and personable approach about him that has rekindled my willingness to workout. I would definitely recommend coming in to meet with him or someone on his team to see how they could help you reestablish your personal

Laura and Tom are both great trainers! I have been working with them for about 8 months now. I feel healthier and stronger than ever. I used to work out on my own and didn't know the reason for a variety of challenges I would come across at the gym, which both Laura and Tom have noticed and helped me to improve on. I've lost 12lb since I have been coming here and have gained a lot of muscle along the way! I highly recommend Live Fit.

For a girl who's never been able to stay motivated, I am always surprised at how eager I am to come to Live Fit each week. Laura is an organized, creative, and positive personal trainer who has taught me about motivation and getting strong! Like I genuinely feel much stronger since I started! Mark also deserves a special mention for creating a positive experience for me every time I step in the door. I feel a true sense of community at Live Fit!

I have been training here for almost two years and love it! Heidi really cares about my progress and understands my limitations. I typically do not like a "gym" setting so the personal and intimate setting is perfect for me. The owner and staff are kind and friendly. I would suggest giving it a try because once you become impressed with the results you will be hooked! I highly recommend Live Fit!
