FITNESS BY PHONE® WORKS!

“I had not exercised in three years! When I had exercised before that, I did not have enough variety in my workouts and got bored very easily.

I was tired of being a slug. I gained 15 pounds on my petite 5’2” frame – all of which seemed to congregate around my midsection – and was chubby for the first time in my life. Additionally, my job is very stressful and I needed a way to handle that stress. To top it off, I was diagnosed with osteopenia, putting me at risk for osteoporosis, and I knew that weight-bearing exercise could help to strengthen my bones. I needed a program to provide motivation and exercise direction.

I love my Fitness by Phone® coaching program. The variety is great and my coach shows me how to exercise to prevent injury. I have gotten leaner, stronger, and have more stamina than I’ve had in 40 years! (I am 57 years old.) And, my last bone scan showed that I gained bone mass in my hip and the bone mass in my back has stayed constant!

My favorite part of the program is learning which exercises burn the most calories, and seeing the actual improvement every single week. Fitness by Phone® has challenged me in a way that no other program ever has. I easily get bored and my body plateaus at a certain level, which is very de-motivating. My Coach keeps up the momentum – our sessions and my workouts are fresh and ever-changing. 

I always recommend Fitness by Phone® to people – it gives you a great kick-start, and you have a trained coach to oversee your program who is creative at adapting exercise to each individual’s needs, goals, fitness level, and lifestyle. It is definitely customized.

My Fitness by Phone® experience has given me a permanent set of good habits. I believe it is the best way to become fit!”

Thank you!

"It is refreshing to go to a professional such as Brenda, who understands my goal of a well defined and toned body without the bulk."

Brenda is incredible! As an Internet applications programmer I sit at a terminal all day and get little exercise. Now with Brenda's program I feel in control of my health and fitness. She has made a real difference in my life. I'm very impressed with her extensive background, ongoing education and endless dedication to fitness. She really wants to see you succeed.

For the first time in my life, I’ve found a fitness program that I can say is designed for “me”, monitored for “me” and works for “me”. Fitness By Phone is as close as you can get to having a personal trainer who is on call whatever time of day you decide to exercise. I had spent years of working out and trying new fitness fads only to eventually end up at the same familiar plateau that left me with no other choice but to look for something else “that worked”. But with Fitness By Phone, I have finally found the tools to help me succeed. I had no idea when I embarked on the 12-week mission, that my “little blue box” and I would become such close friends! With just a heart rate monitor and a caltrac device, I can now closely follow my progress, as well as see what exercises are working best for me. And when life throws me a change in the schedule-no problem! My Fitness By Phone program lets me make simple adjustments so I never have to feel like I’ve gone off course. I could never have imagined looking forward to working out with that kind of enthusiasm I now have. Fitness By Phone offers me a variety of choices. So I never feel like my body is “getting used to” or “bored with” a certain exercise. Best of all, it’s “my” choice, and no matter what I choose there’s always a new challenge. Only now the challenge is not between me and the machine, or me and the clock, or me and the routine…It’s a challenge to find our what works best for me. Fitness By Phone has really taught “me” to be the master of my destiny.

I began training with Brenda because I wanted to firm up and change my body shape. I am enjoying working out much more than I ever would have believe possible. Brenda is a great motivator which keeps me going all week long. But, what is best is I am seeing results and family and friends have told me I look great. A benefit which I didn't expect is I really have more energy and a feeling of well being. This is a life style change for me, which I never could get a handle on before. Thank you Brenda.

I began my FBP journey with Brenda in July of 2002. This program has been extremely educational and helped me with my all-around fitness routine immensely. When we began, Brenda focused on getting me into “working out” in general. She helped get me in a routine, while all the time monitoring where I was at, using the Caltrac and the Heart Rate Monitor. Before long, my routine became part of my day-to-day lifestyle. I now look at working out as something so regular, like brushing my teeth. I look forward to it and my body craves it.

As I progressed, my exercise program evolved, teaching me so much about heart rate zones, active calories burned, among many other important factors. Brenda taught me how to get the most out of my workouts in order to achieve optimal results. FBP enabled me to incorporate many different types of workouts, so that I was never bored. I do everything from rollerblading, spinning, hiking, and yoga to sprinting up and down my hallways at home.

Brenda slowly incorporated better eating habits into my diet, along with more exercise time, cardio and strength training, and kept changing my exercise routines as we went. This helped me mix things up so I was never bored. I learned invaluable eating habits. I never felt like I was on a diet. I have lost 19 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but I know I will get there. On this program, Brenda taught me how to take care of myself and make time to exercise and eat right. I learned that even if I only have 30 minutes, I could get a decent workout. The goals she helped me set were obtainable-and all personalized to my schedule and lifestyle.

FBP is up to the individual, and teaches one to be accountable to one’s self. Working out is at one’s own pace on one’s own time frame. The trainer is a teacher, giving you invaluable lessons on how to best incorporate fitness into your personal lifestyle by setting goals and monitoring where you are at every step of the way. I would not have been able to accomplish what I had so far without Brenda, and know that because of her help and support, I will be able to complete and sustain my health fitness goals forever.

Before I started the Fitness By Phone (FBP) program, I felt I was not doing enough body toning with my previous aerobic program. I decided to embark on the FBP program because my sister, Michelle, and my mother, Lisa told me all it and how it worked for them.

Having someone like my coach, Brenda, tell me what I am doing incorrectly and correctly gives me hope I will succeed. Also recording my exercise on my Fitness Diaries gives me instant results!

FBP is different from any other program I’ve been on or tried in that I receive much information regarding what I do from my caltrac that reads how many calories I have burned, my heart rate monitor that tells me how hard I have worked, my diaries that show exactly what I have done, and Brenda giving me a lot of health and fitness information that will help me with my overall health.

I would recommend FBP to anyone who wants to take charge of his or her health and well being. It is a great program and Brenda is full of fitness and health education and is great with keeping me motivated.
