Every action is precede by a decision. People who get what they want make good decisions. Fitlife is a good decision. After 2 months of working out at Fitlife I have dropped 25lbs. and feel athletic abilities returning. I recommend Fitlife to anyone wanting to get in shape and start feeling good about themselves. Make A Good Decision! You have to take action or you will never get what you want!

Since doing BOC (Belly Off Class) I look forward to our workouts. I feel more energized (I am able to climb steps, tie shoes without losing my breath). I enjoy the constant changes to the classes which keep it fresh and challenging. One of my most noticeable changes is my quicker recovery time after each exercise. I hope to keep going for a long time!

Working with the team of Fitlife has changed my life. Heart disease is a serious concern within my family. I made a conscious decision to change my habits at the age of 39.

In 2007, my doctor gave me the news I didn’t want to hear. “We received the results of your blood work and you are heading down the wrong path.” My cholesterol was 221 (target under 200) and my triglycerides were 349 (target is less then 150). “You are a candidate for heart disease and you are predisposed for diabetes with the current results.” Working with the dedicated staff, we arranged a program working out two days per week in the group sessions. I run one other day on my own as training for some local 5k races.

Today, I am 30 pounds lighter, my cholesterol is 174 and triglycerides are 115. All within the recommended ranges per my physician. I now continue each week with a maintenance program and have kept the weight off for over two years now. The team at Fitlife took the time to understand my goals and create a personal program that works for me. I made the decision to change, however, they helped me make it a reality.

Over 3 years ago I started going to Fitlife. Before that, I hadn’t exercised in 20 years. I began attending exercise classes 2x/week and then 3x/week. Now I am a member at Fitlife and I go 4-5x/week. As a result, I lost about 20lbs. and I am enjoying overall improved health. My arthritis symptoms have almost disappeared entirely. I experience fewer headaches and have more energy. Fitlife provided me with a much needed ticket to wellness. My sincerest thanks to the personal trainers, group exercise instructors and the rest of the wonderful staff.

Who would think at 45+ yrs old I would look forward to getting up at 5:15am to go and get pushed to the limit by our owner personal “drill sergeant”, and pay for it!! But I think that I speak for all of the “Team” at 6am that when I say that we have a great experience through Fitlife and Peac Performance, are in better shape than in high school (all right…..maybe college) and feel better all day long after starting off our day with their amazing staff!

Working with the team of Fitlife has changed my life.  Heart disease is a serious concern within my family.  I made a conscious decision to change my habits at the age of 39. 

With the combination of eating better and a workout plan, I have exceeded every physical goal I have set.

In 2007, my doctor gave me the news I didn’t want to hear.  “We received the results of your blood work and you are heading down the wrong path.”

My cholesterol was 221 (the target is to be less than 200) and my triglycerides were 349 (the target is to be less than 150).  “You are a candidate for heart disease and your are predisposed for diabetes with the current results.”

Working with John and the dedicated staff, we arranged a program working out two days per week in the group sessions.  I run one other day on my own as training for some local 5k races.

Today, I am 30 pounds lighter, my cholesterol is 174 and triglycerides are 115.  All within the recommended ranges per my physician. 

I now continue each week with a maintenance program and have kept the weight off for over two years now.

I sent my daughter to FitLife to receive training for softball and volleyball, and was delighted to hear that the trainers would also customize a program for MY needs. They have done a phenomenal job at getting me in shape. The workouts leave me feeling energized and motivated for the balance of my day.

If I can do it, anyone can! Josh and Evan have turned me into a fitness nut. They customized a program that was specific to my personal needs, then made the workouts un-intimidating and fun. These guys make you get results!

» Sports Performance Success Stories

Fitlife has been excellent for my son Patrick, we have seen really tremendous strides in strength, speed, and agility. He enjoys the environment and loves all the trainers that work there. If you can stick with the program you will really see great development-whatever your goals are, It Works!

I have participated in the sports performance group training for two years now. Over the time I have seen excellent improvement in my stamina and strength (especially core). They do a great job of organizing different workouts for each session. As a result I am never bored of the training and it keeps me totally motivated. They have tons of energy and are extremely motivating. They are very focused on each individual and and what aspect of training they should be focusing on with each individual so they meet the needs and weaknesses of that person. Overall they are totally committed to insuring that all their clients get the maximum benefit from their training.

I was recently drafted by the White Sox organization and realized that spring training was right around the corner and I wanted to make sure that I was in the best shape of my life heading into camp. I came to Fitlife so they could help me prepare for the minor league and hopefully on to the big leagues in the near future. Fitlife exceeded my expectations, by increasing my overall power, core strength, flexibility, and overall stamina. Thank you so much Fitlife, I now have all the confidence in the world heading out to spring training.

Fitlife and Peac Performance are a terrific partner to Hopewell Valley Lacrosse, helping to prepare our young athletes to compete to the best of their abilities. We could not ask for more competent and friendly fitness professionals to refer our players and families.

Fitlife and PEAC Performance have been valuable partner s with Stuart Lacrosse and have truly gone the distance in supporting, preparing, training, and motivating Stuart’s student athletes. Their Training, amazing staff in particular, has had a vital ongoing positive impact on the girls’ ability, confidence, and healthy work ethic. Their quality, courtesy, and friendliness of the staff have made them a pleasure to work with.

As a manager of a girls’ U12 all-star softball team, we wanted to get the girls physically ready for the upcoming season. The team signed up for the speed and agility clinic at PEAC Performance. John and his staff were great with the girls. The classes were non-stop action in a team environment, which is just what we were looking for. The instructors challenged the girls with many different exercises that pushed them to find endurance, strength, and speed that they didn’t know existed in them, especially when they are exhausted. The facility is the best in the area for this type of training. Personally, my daughter loves this clinic. The exercises have really helped her speed and footwork. After each class, she can’t wait for the next one and has asked to continue going throughout the year. That’s the part that I as a father and coach like the most. The girls are having fun doing this workout. This fall, I’ll be bringing my AAU basketball to PEAC! It’s been a great experience for everyone.

The team at Fitlife took the time to understand my goals and create a personal program that works for me.  I made the decision to change, however, they helped me make it a reality.

My teenage daughter has been using  PEAC Performance Training to condition herself for lacrosse for three years now.   She uses it pre-season to improve her quickness and agility;  to strengthen and tone --  especially her legs, to prevent ACL injury! – and to sharpen her attitude and competitiveness.  She also uses it after LAX season ends just to stay sharp and in shape.   She’s not someone who likes to work out on her own, but she loves PEAC and the great trainers there, as well as hanging with her LAX buddies; she eagerly looks forward to each and every session.   This year, she made the high school varsity team as a freshman, and I know that one factor has been the fantastic training she’s received the last three years at PEAC Performance.   We’ll see you again this summer, as soon as her travel LAX team season ends

I just wanted to let you know that I have heard good stuff from the boys on your present Fit Life instructor. They say he works the hell out of them, which they say is good, but he communicates with them, he doesn’t talk down to them.

I can see Paddy´s Hockey game getting stronger and stronger.  He made the headlines with the game winning goal.  He is so excited! 

As a coach I have watched how my players have become stronger, quicker and more confident. Fitlife teaches not just basic weight training but why it is important for the body to work as a whole to achieve maximum results.

The training our team received allowed us to play a grueling 100 game schedule and perform at out bestall the way until the last out of the last game.

Professional baseball is played everyday for 7 months. The physical and mental conditioning I obtained from Fitlife was the most advanced I have ever received. The rewards of the training were endless.

Fitlife has fully prepared me mentally and physically for the rigors of Division 1 Football. I can now compete to the best of my ability on the football field.

What makes FitLife so unique and exceptional compared to the competition is that whether you are a professional, high school, or college athlete trying to get into shape, they will customize a program to specifically match all your individual training needs.

After being in the FitLife program, my speed, agility, strength, and work ethic have all improved considerably. The trainers were always by my side pushing me to new limits and always encouraging me to reach my goals. I would recommend them to any athlete that wants to take their game to levels they never thought possible.

FitLife Trained Athletes stand apart from the rest. My son (Jonathon) is in the best shape of his life. He is going to have an awesome senior year in football thanks to FitLife.

Solid, solid to the core in my sking and physical well being is how I feel training with FitLife. My experience has given me confidence in my physical ability to perform at my athletic peak in my future endeavors.

Eight months after training with FitLife, my pride, determination, and self confidence have hit an all time high. I left for college stronger, bigger and faster than ever before. I am now a life-long member.

We started our personal training programs with Josh and Evan over 6 months ago, after seeing results with our 16yr. old son Ross, who was in a training program for baseball. Their programs have helped us improve our endurance both physically and mentally along with building muscle and losing weight and just making us both feel good about ourselves. These guys are not only good people but great motivators.

» Autistic Program

“The FitLife Program has been absolutely wonderful for Rob.  He is so proud to show us his muscles.  The program encourages participation and socialization with his peers.  He looks forward to going every week.  It is very important that our children stay fit and healthy with exercise.”

“TJ loves going to FitLife every week. In addition to getting to hang out with all of his friends, he is also getting to work on strength, agility, and motor planning activities. The trainers at FitLife are so patient with all the kids, and never see their limitations. We are so thankful to have found a wonderful activity for him to participate in each week.”

“We can’t say enough about the FitLife program. Our son Clay, who has motor-planning issues, needs lots of support to use some of the equipment. But my husband and I find that after he uses the elliptical machine and Jacob’s Ladder climbing treadmill, he has more language and better focus. It doesn’t matter that he can’t do all the activities. He is accepted for who his is, and is rooted on by the staff when he makes progress.”

“Through Autism Cares and continuity of this fun night program my son has become familiar with the other kids.  The Foundation has literally opened up his world.  FitLife and the other programs have had such an impact on my son that one day he walked up Linda Kuepper [co-founder of Autism Cares Foundation] and said, ‘I’m having a great time tonight. You must be a great lady.’"
