Just a little preview of what's to come...
Soon you will be able to download butt-kickin' -FIT *2* GO!- workouts to your iPod, iPhone, or smartphone!
Pretty nifty huh?
You can purchase and download tons of different workouts that are already on the site...but don't! Wait until we create a few of our own, because you KNOW they will be tons better than all those others! :D

-HAPPY NEW YEAR!-
Hi Friends!
This is Sarah Rippel, opening up brand-spanking new blog for a new year! I will try to not get on my soapbox (too much) in shedding a little light on the ever-popular topic of RESOLUTIONS.
Have you made yours?
Let me guess...do they have something to do with your health?
If so, you're definitely not alone! Around this time of year, health clubs across the country jump for joy.
Why?
THEY MAKE LOTS OF $! Everyone and their dog signs up with the best of intentions.
What happens?
New members most often get a "trial" session with a trainer to get them started. This typically entails an overview of the basic machines in the weight room, coupled with a kindergarten-level lesson in workout terminology (sets, reps, etc) from an underpaid and often less-than-qualified trainer. After this initial session, the trainer is then supposed to make a sales pitch, hoping to sell the member more sessions. Most people see the price tag and say "no," believing they can go about things on their own and do just fine. Well, in about a month or so, most of the "newbies" realize their good intentions weren't enough, and they quit working out due to a lack of progress...and the gyms are happy because they continue to get $ from members who will most likely never use their facility again.
Sad huh?
It's the truth.
I have been working out in gyms for the past 14 years, and have witnessed this year after year. If you want me to be perfectly honest, the act of simply signing up for a gym membership WILL NOT WORK for most people who are not familiar with putting together an effective fitness program for themselves. The gyms are happy because they make tons of money, but most of them are doing a terrible job of servicing the one thing that keeps them in business...their members.
It ticks me off!
Many gym members wander around, picking and choosing exercises without a plan of action. After a while, they become frustrated and bored, and the changes just aren't happening fast enough. Most quit...but a small percentage realize that they need help if they are going to get somewhere. As I have been known to say, this is why I have a job!
Personal trainers are no longer viewed as "luxuries" only available to celebrities and the super-wealthy. Nowadays, everyone can take advantage of a qualified fitness professional's expertise. A handful of training sessions can do a person a world of good in terms of learning proper exercise execution, principles, and strategies.
Yes, we do cost money! :)
At this point in my career, I am proud to offer my services at a rate that is competitive, yet not bargain-basement. I believe in what I do, and my clients walk the talk. Am I cocky? No. Confident? Yes! Many people who initially are concerned with the financial obligation soon realize how much of an impact a trainer's motivation and guidance provides, and become long-term clients.
No matter what you choose to do, I guarantee that you will be completely satisfied with choosing -F I T *2* G O !- as your life-changing, health-boosting solution!
BREAK THE CYCLE OF STARTING & THEN QUITTING YOUR FITNESS RESOLUTIONS!
Get started on the RIGHT foot - by following a progressive program that allows you to overcome your excuses, get results, and have fun at the same time!
We are currently taking on new clients...with one exception:
