Testimonials

For the last 7 years, I have been conscious of my weight gain and the fact that it seemed to be out of my control. I tried the fad diets and lost some weight, but the problem was I couldn’t sustain it. Not only did the weight come right back but my body didn’t respond well to the drastic dietary shifts. Besides dieting, the other option was exercise so I began to run 3 days a week with still no real visible change. That’s frustrating.

I knew if I was going to lose the weight and get healthy again I would need a change in lifestyle. When Amy explained the details of Fitlab, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. Fitlab was different because there was no special food plan or unmanageable exercise program. The best part was that the metabolic testing was specific to me. It told me exactly how many calories my body burns naturally and where I burn the most calories while exercising. With this information, I could eat normally with some simple modifications on my choices or portion sizes, exercise and finally lose weight. Sounds simple, right? I like simple and that’s what it came down to… simple math. In the first few weeks of solely eating better I saw major results. Once I added in exercise the weight really came off.

I am happy to say that to date, I am down 4 pants sizes and 45 pounds. I am certain that anyone who commits to the detailed plan Fitlab provides will see results. I am living proof that there is such a thing as a sustainable healthy lifestyle change. Thanks Fitlab.

Amy,
As you know, working out has always been a priority for me. Fitlab has changed not only the way I work out, but the way I think of working out. I used to go to the gym and take a class or use the ecliptical and workout for a certain amount of time. I never really knew how hard I was working. There were days I just didn’t feel like doing much and my workouts suffered.

With Fitlab, I have a program and a purpose. My heart rate tells me how hard I am working and it is a welcome distraction to monitor it. I work out longer because I feel like I have a personal trainer with me and it is enjoyable! Because you gradually increase the intensity of my workouts, I am able to sustain exercising longer without feeling fatigued. Since I have target heart rates for each exercise session, the program is goal oriented and gives immediate feedback! I am encouraged when I can workout at a heart rate that was hard for me when I started the program is easy now! I feel much stronger after doing the program for 12 weeks! Another benefit of the program is that you can do the workout anywhere. I’m no longer dependent on a class or a gym so I’ve added variety that helps keep me interested! For those who travel or have a demanding schedule that is an added benefit!

Also, I think your program would be great for anyone who has not been exercising on a regular basis. I think of my son when I say this because he will every now and then try running when he hasn’t done anything for so long! Of course, he gets frustrated and quits because it is so hard. I think people who are not used to exercising would like to get in shape if they didn’t feel like they were killing themselves trying to do something that their body is not ready for…for me, I believe FitLab is the perfect option! Just my opinion!

Best Regards!

I’ve been on the FitLab program for 12 weeks and think it’s great. Both the fitness gains and weight loss have exceeded my expectations. When working out now, I have a clear understanding that the sweat is worth the effort. Amy brings a knowledge and passion for the program that instills confidence and drives you to continued improvement.

Over the years I made excuses about why I couldn’t lose weight. One of the big ones was that I didn’t have time with all the things I’m doing for my kid’s school, church, friends, and my family. Finally, I decided it was time to focus on me because I want to see my boys grow up and get married and be able to play with my grandchildren some day.

A friend introduced me to FitLab Metabolic Services and I started the program. I was able to lose 20 pounds in 13 weeks because I was training at the right heart rate to lose fat. During the summer, we took a break and I was able to maintain my weight by following FitLab’s instructions. We are starting back up when school starts and I’m looking forward to losing the rest of my weight. I feel good about myself and it’s a plus that I have gone down several clothes sizes. FitLab is a great place to lose weight because we have FUN doing it! Amy, my instructor, has pushed me hard but I love her for doing it and she has become my good friend!

After 6 months on the FitLab program, I am in the best shape of my adult life. I achieved my target weight after the first couple of months, and then began to focus on the fitness aspect of the program. Because you track your heart rate to determine the effectiveness of your workout, it is easy to adjust the time and intensity of your workout to meet your objectives, whether it is weight loss, or improved fitness, or both.

The best part is that, even in class, you are working at your own level, determined by your heart rate, and improving at your own pace. No more quitting a step class after a couple of sessions because you can’t keep up with the instructor and get frustrated. Everyone in the class has an individualized plan for improvement, based on their starting condition and their objectives. I was never able to run comfortably before FitLab, but after 6 months on the program, I now run about 75% of every training session in order to reach my target heart rate, and I do it with no problem.

Amy is also a great class leader. She uses just the right amount of tough love, combined with encouragement and support, to keep you on track to meet your goals. I recommend FitLab to people all the time because it has worked so well for me.

Hi Amy!

I wanted to tell you how happy I have been with Fitlab over the past few months. I have tried everything in the way of exercising to manage my weight and always felt like I was spinning my wheels and working hard with little results. The program you put me on made my workouts more effective and I felt so much better after my excercise! I have never been so happy with a program and feel really good. I have been faithful to my workout time, which was never easy before when I wasn’t seeing results.

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU, because Fitlab Metabolic Services has helped me lose a few pounds (and several inches) and get more toned before my upcoming wedding!!

As an athlete you come to realize that there are highs and lows in your training, and that you will do whatever you can to minimize the lows. You work as hard as you can, for as long as you can to achieve a goal, then one day you realize that the training you’ve been doing isn’t working anymore. You’ve peaked.

I’ve been using the same training plan for the past six years with mixed results, one year good, and one year bad…never consistent. I tried several training programs that used a heart rate monitor but without knowing a true baseline, I wasn’t sure I could trust the data or even where I should be at any given point. However, since using the Fitlab system, I’m now able to know where my heart rate should be at any point during training or a race, and how that information helps me reach the podium. Knowing where your weaknesses are aerobically as well as what your AT (anaerobic threshold) is will help maximize every minute of you’re training. This season I’ve seen my overall endurance increase, thresholds increase, and weight decrease…all while maintaining a level of performance I’ve never seen before. Fitlab has given me the opportunity to maximize my training by letting me know where my weaknesses are and how I can fix them.

They say the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Don’t train another hour without knowing if what you’re doing is benefiting you.
