Growing up, I was a competitive athlete. Over the past 10+ years I had gotten out of shape, lost my groove, and somehow got used to feeling disappointed in my fitness level and the way my body looked and felt. When I first joined Fitness Appeal, I was terrified to try the rope climb, the monkey bars, or swing any kettlebell that weighed over 10 lbs. My excuse? “My arms are weak” – as if that is a medical condition of some kind (it’s not).

Over the past year I have learned about consistency, internal motivation, and practice. Through the kettlebells class, killer core class, and bootcamps (not to mention the OCRs), I have built my confidence back. I practice the monkey bars and rope climb every week, and I can swing a 25 lb. kettlebell on my good days. I train, eat, and rest like an athlete again, and I’ve never felt this good.

Vic and his trainers Raquel, Nico, Josh, and Tatiana have created an environment where we all feel empowered to try new things, even if we fail at first (or 25+ times, if we’re talking about me and that rope climb). We also feel empowered to cheer our teammates on as they take on new challenges. I have found that sometimes encouraging other FA members to try the monkey bars for the first time or swing a heavier weight in kettlebells motivates me to practice something that I need to work on. It’s such a unique environment – you won’t find it at any other gym.
I am a FA teammate for life, and a customer for life. And perhaps more importantly, my mindset has shifted for life. There is no part of me that is weak- I get stronger every single day.

Not only in the past year has my life changed but so did I as a person. One year ago today I told myself I would stop with the excuses and get my body in gear. The day I walked into Fitness Appeal it all changed. I could not thank Fitness Appeal enough. You truly made the better person inside me come out.

Not only have I lost 20 pounds and a whole lot of inches but I was finally able to meet the happy and confident women I never knew. The days where I just wanted to give up, you made me realize why I started and that I’m doing great! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS did I think I would be doing any kind of race… I’m now obsessed!

Seriously thank you for that. You truly are inspiration and an amazing motivator, Vic! Also thank you to my team for being some of my biggest fans! I can’t thank you all enough for also welcoming me and making me feel right at home. So I guess this is a Happy 1 year Anniversary Post! Love you all and again THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

I have been exercising at Fitness Appeal for 10 months and I have become part of a family. The energy, support and encouragement that this gym provides is outstanding. I have been able to overcome many fitness goals with Victor’s guidance and support. He is a true leader who makes working out fun and pushes you beyond your comfort zone knowing you are capable. He is patient, knowledgeable and motivates you to strive for more with his compassion for fitness.

Fitness Appeal elevated my physical, mental and spiritual lifestyle. It’s an amazing quality to have a gym, instructors and other members take you in and create a family atmosphere. I truly have turned my life around because of FA and blessed to have met Victor Ng and the rest of the FA family. Remember when pushed pass your comfort level, it will hurt but it’s only for the betterment of you.

I’ve been going to Fitness Appeal for almost a year now and I have nothing but positive things to say. Everyone is very friendly, helpful and motivating. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a gym membership but these classes are by far the most effective. I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight and I wouldn’t have done it without Fitness Appeal. I recommend this gym to everyone I know.

If you want to get in shape and live an active, healthy lifestyle, this is the place to get it done! Victor will push you to levels you never thought you’d reach. I’m starting to see results, and it feels fantastic! The people that are in these classes are very supportive and help provide additional motivation. I can’t say enough positive things about this place, so check it out for yourself!
