The day I walked into 360 Fitness, was the day I finally decided to commit to making a life change. I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life, and knew that I needed a major push in the right direction. I had worked out on my own in the past, but always seemed to find an excuse for why I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do it. I needed to be accountable to someone other than myself to get me motivated. Jack greeted my husband and myself, and we immediately felt welcomed. I knew this was going to be my second home for a long time to come!

My first few days with my trainer, Katy, were horrifying and humbling at the same time. I had no idea I was so out of shape! However, I had made the decision that this was my time to shine, and I fully committed to making my friends, family, Katy, and most importantly, myself, very proud! Since March (5months) I have lost 53lbs, and 60 inches! This amazes even me! Katy has been there every step of the way, and has been a great support system for me. Katy pushes me when I don’t think I have it in me. I never thought I would love running (and some days I still don’t), but I’m getting there. (Read the rest of this entry »)

In just over 3 months at 360 Fitness I have lost more than 15lbs and dropped my BodyFat from 23% to 17% (that’s 13lbs of pure fat GONE). I have also dropped 10inches and a couple pant sizes! I went from doing 21 pushups in 60 seconds to now doing 45 in 50 seconds. I could barely run a mile when I joined and now I have finished the 180km MS Bike Tour and in September I will be running my first 10km  race in Canmore. I love 360 Fitness and don’t know what I would do if I didn’t join! (Read the rest of this entry »)

360 Fitness took over my program about 2 years ago. We’ve never looked back. I can’t begin to describe the changes in my life since we met. I was down and out until they helped me turn everything around.

Starting out at over 237 lbs and coming off a sport injury to my wrist and both my ankles. With these bothersome and always aggravated injuries, I didn’t know what to do. That’s when I started at 360 Fitness.

Overweight and always looking for that quick fix or the next fad in losing weight, I didn’t know what to do. With the 360 Fitness approach, I was driven into the road less traveled. Hard work and perseverance are just two of the many words these trainers have beaten me over the head with.

To date, I have lost over 50lbs of FAT and gained over 25lbs of MUSCLE!! I started at 237lbs at 24% Body fat and dropped to 202lbs at 17% Body Fat, all while getting stronger, improving my posture, gaining nutrition knowledge and I am about to do my first ever Triathlon Sprint!

Now 2 years later I have a completely different outlook on life. I can honestly say Jack and the staff at 360 Fitness are the most influential people in my life to date. (Read the rest of this entry »)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for everything you have done for me this past year, words do not properly express the amount of gratitude and appreciate I have for you. You have helped me go beyond the expectations I set for myself and for that I am truly grateful. I feel so blessed to have you as a friend. Thank you for believing in me – even when I didn’t believe in myself, but mostly thank you for being you!

Kandi Wyatt

I’ve been training with Shaun at 360 Fitness for about 6 months now and I have never been in better shape in my life. His personalized training sessions and knowledge have made me a better athlete. And the way he interacts with you as you are training make you feel as if you are at the gym with a friend. Shaun is very encouraging and he make training fun and interesting.

UPDATE: Kandi has recently won a National Championship in Women’s Boxing!! Congrats! Olympics here you come…

Jana Raivio

In November 2009 I made the decision that I was going to walk into 360 Fitness to make changes in my life! 360 Fitness surpassed my expectations, the staff and my trainer, Marie, were very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and FUN! I instantly felt comfortable and loved the atmosphere of the facility.

Marie is an amazing trainer, always challenging my body to new capabilities. Marie has helped me achieve successes I have never thought possible. She has helped me lose weight and lose more than 25.5 inches off my body.

Marie has changed my life and I can’t thank her enough and 360 Fitness for helping me through this amazing journey.

UPDATE: Jana has now lost an astounding 38lbs in less than 6 months! On top of that she has lost over 44.5 inches now! Great work Jana!

Nikki Nielsen

Crystal has helped me to develop confidence and muscles I never knew I had! The 360 Fitness approach has helped me transform my lifestyle and I am seeing results I never imagined I would see!

Doug Anderson

I made the decision to lead a healthier life for myself so I joined 360 Fitness and began training with Marie. She, and the rest of the staff at 360 Fitness, are very professional and have the expectation that when I come to their gym I work hard. Marie pushes me, but also has the experience to know when to pull back and when to push harder! 360 Fitness is a place to have fun and exudes a comfortable and genuine atmosphere for everyone.

Over the last six months I have watched my body transform far beyond my expectations. I would never have attained these results alone and can thank Marie and 360 Fitness for helping me along the way. I now see 360 Fitness as an irreplaceable part of my life!

Tracy Burns

I joined 360 Fitness a month ago not knowing exactly what I should expect from the gym and my trainer. I felt immediately at ease by the way Brooke took the time to learn about me before making up the training and eating plan. I never felt like I was receiving a cookie cutter training plan that everyone was placed on.

The overall atmosphere of 360 Fitness is welcoming and friendly whether you are speaking to another trainer or client. I have consistently felt that my goals and success are celebrated by all those at 360 Fitness, but especially by my personal trainer Brooke.

Amy Nibourg

My experience at 360 has been a great one. Brooke has helped me achieve things I never thought possible. She continues to push me to new levels every session. Brooke has defiantly been a awesome influence on me, she keeps me on track and has helped me lose weight and tons of inches. My arms have never looked this toned. I love it! I’ll never look back. Thanks Brooke!!

UPDATE: Amy just completed another assessment and she has lost over 20 inches total now! Keep rocking Amy!

Dominic White

When I attended the grand opening of 360 Fitness in early November of 2009, I had no idea the journey that i was about to embark on!

The  first thing I noticed about 360Fitness is the staff are extremely positive, friendly and knowledgeable about your health. They genuinely care about your well being.

In my initial assessment I learned a number of things about myself that I had not known. I learned goal setting and a methodical approach towards achieving them. (Read the rest of this entry »)

Denielle Bostock

When I first joined 360 Fitness I was feeling tired all the time and found myself about 35 pounds overweight. I decided it was time for a change and just walked into 360 Fitness. I instantly felt comfortable and loved the atmosphere there. The next day I found myself set up with one of their trainers, Brooke Einarson. Brooke has worked with me from Day 1 and has provided me a customized workout and nutrition program that fits my lifestyle; she helped me set goals and has encouraged me to stay with those goals. In just months I have noticed huge changes. I have increased energy, better posture, better eating habits, and overall better health. I am constantly losing inches and feeling better than I have in years. Brooke has actually got me to love coming to my workouts, and I can say for the first time in my life I actually look forward to coming to the gym. Most importantly Brooke has taught me to make my health a priority in life. (Read the rest of this entry »)

The Hallett Family

360 Fitness and our trainers have facilitated a new bond between us a couple as well as with our son. We were wondering if life could get any better, and then, we found you.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and care that you put into our workouts. It is easy to tell that being a personal trainer is not just a job for any of you, it is much more. We look forward to what the next months will bring for us.

This has been the find of the century for our family! Unforeseen occurrences can change our lives in a bad way in the blink of an eye, it is nice to know that on this occasion, it has been for the good. In just 2 months we have made a complete turn around. I guess that is where you get the name for your gym.  I am so happy with the changes that it makes me cry. I love that we are growing in knowledge and strength as a family.

Like most women, I tried all the diets, Atkins, South beach, jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and many more. It wasn’t until March 2009, when I met Marie Lynn, my personal trainer at 360 Fitness, I realized for the first time in my life, this is not a diet it’s a life style change.

Marie started with a full body assessment to determine my goals, back in March I was only concerned about weight, now I know that it’s all about being fit and healthy.

I weighed myself daily wanting to shed those unwanted pounds. But until I became serious about what I really wanted, that’s when I became successful.

Within weeks, I started to notice my body was changing…my confidence soared and I realized how happy and confident I was becoming. (Read the rest of this entry »)

UPDATE: Brenda you are a rockstar! On her latest assessment she has now lost an amazing 26 inches! Whats crazier is that she lost 13 inches off her waist alone!! GO BRENDA!

Dorene Loughlin

In August 2008 I met Jack for the first time. His first question to me was “why are you here?” My answer: I had registered to swim in the 2009 World Masters in Sydney Australia in October 2009. My thought was if I am going to go that far I wanted to be in the best possible shape I could be in. I was overweight and unbeknownst to me held little confidence in my athletic ability.  Well – I have just returned from Sydney and my fitness is at a level I never even imagined possible. I have lost 55 pounds and 53 inches! In the 15 months I have worked with Jack I have developed both the mental and physical strength to do things I would never have considered.

Christine Duffin

I started working out with Brooke when she came to our school for her practicum. She ran an exercise~program for teenage girls and I joined as a staff member for support.

When my friends started noticing my improved strength and weight loss, I knew I had a good thing going. I encouraged some other friends to join me and now we have been working with Brooke for 3 months.

As a 51 year old woman, it is important to me that I have exercises that are going to keep my bones strong and my mind alert.  Brooke is always attentive to proper technique and is constantly educating us as to why she is making us do certain exercises.  Brooke runs a great program with lots of variety.  She is always giving us little nutrition tips while she is putting us through our cardio, weights or core strengthening exercises.  She changes our routine as our capabilities increase.  She has just the right balance of pushing our limits and encouraging our success.

I am looking forward to the next three months!

Teresa Janzen

I began training with Brooke about four months ago with some friends.  I started out thinking that I might lose a couple of pounds and it would be a social time with my friends.  Here I am, four months later, thirty pounds lighter, stronger than I have ever been and feeling healthy and excited about what lies ahead.  Now training with Brooke is not merely a time with friends but a necessity for me.

Our workouts are always challenging and include a variety of exercises,  weights, machines and even some killer outdoor sessions.  Brooke takes the time to properly explain how we should be doing each exercise and what we will accomplish by doing them.  She also is able to assess our unique needs and to modify the program for each individual.  All of  this helps me to feel safe and empowered to continue challenging myself.

Brooke brings a great deal of knowledge to her job.  She has completed her post-secondary education but also draws from her years as a serious athlete.  Brooke handles herself in a professional way yet she is friendly and accessible.  I would highly recommend training with Brooke to anyone who wants to seriously change their fitness level.  I know that it has changed me and I look forward to our workouts.  Thanks Brooke!

Trudy Marko

Working with Jack has changed my life. His high energy, positive outlook and encouragement has helped me to achieve my fitness goals. Jack, Marie and the staff at 360 Fitness genuinely care about their client’s health and wellness. They are knowledgeable , professional and a whole lot of fun to work with! Congratulations, 360 Fitness is the best gym in Red Deer – hands down!!!

UPDATE: Trudy has lost more than 6% Body Fat and now has a rock solid six pack!! She can now ride 30km on her bike every day of the week with ease. Thats awesome Trudy.

Sandy

After struggling with my weight for 30+ years I decided to try a personal trainer. I had gym memberships in the past but I didnt see the weight loss results that I was aiming for. I teamed with Jack which turned to be a very positive experience. Jack was very encouraging and was able to push my limits. He always has a positive attitude and upbeat personality which makes the workouts more enjoyable. Even with having knee issues, Jack managed to figure out a wokout to push me without aggravating my knees! My results have been awesome, dropping 40+ lb, I feel and look so much better! Going to the gym can be a dreaded thing but Jack makes it fun and something to look forward to. It has changed my life in a very positive way both physically and mentally. Thanks Jack!!

Jack simply put is a miracle worker. I began training with him at 145lbs and within 6 months, I was up to 180lbs and had packed on 35lbs of lean muscle mass! Every week I got up on the scale and I was progressing just like we planned. I looked and felt better than ever before. Without Jack, I would have never been able to accomplish and exceed my goals and expectations as I have. (Read the rest of this entry »)

Carla-Jane Romeo

When I first met Marie Lynn I was feeling somewhat like a slug as I had not worked out for several months and other than taking the dog for an occasional walk, I was pretty much a couch potato. I would refer to myself as a chubby mommy somewhat jokingly, but I would always get upset when people would say that I looked good for someone who had triplets. The only thing was that the triplets were now 14 years old so the chubby mommy excuse was getting a little old. (Read the rest of this entry »)

Thomas Coffin Jr.

Marie and Jack are amazing! Not only are they great trainers, but they are great mentors and friends. Their hearty style of training helps you gain the confidence you need to change your life! My life seriously improved for the better when I met Marie and began working out using the correct techniques followed with a good understanding of nutritional eating. Good luck and thanks for everything! (Read the rest of this entry »)

Laurie Clayton

I was a 45 year old that was 25 pounds overweight, and had a metabolism that STOPPED!

I ate well, lead an active life, but seemed to continuously gain more weight every year. It wasn’t until I worked with Marie-Lynn that my body started to respond. I was educated on the proper work-outs, nutrition, and this changed my stubborn metabolism.

Marie spent some exhaustive hours with me – most the time she made it fun, but some of the time it was hard….we laughed, we cried, but we got there together! She NEVER gave up on me, even when I did. She taught me to trust in her, she taught me to believe in myself and to not define myself by my weight. (Read the rest of this entry »)
