This is a response to my previous review. To be honest, I would like to be done with this company,…read morebut I cannot let a business owner leave a reply that is not true at all. Nicole, your reply to my review is not true. I honestly cannot believe the audacity that you have to blatantly not tell the truth in your response. 1. I did not lose a "good amount of weight" by working out with you and I was not even close to my goal weight. I'm not sure why you would even say that. 2. I did not quit for "personal" reasons. I had to stop because of medical reasons for a period of time. My goal was to only stop during the duration of my recovery from radiation per my Oncologist's/Endocrinologist's request. If you are talking about personal: I did share with you that my father in law had passed away during the time of my recovery, but that had nothing to do with us continuing to train. 3. Yes, I did ask for a refund because of my unforeseen medical situation. I had been in the hospital twice and I shared with you that my father in law had passed away and I could use that money to help with arrangements and I would have gladly picked back up my training with you when I was 100% better. - You never responded to my text - When you finally did (almost a week later) you were rude and very cold - You made things VERY awkward - You got upset when I started to hold you accountable for promises already made in regards to my training, training session times, and money arrangements. 4. I DID NOT CHOOSE TO END MY TRAINING. YOU CHOSE TO END MY TRAINING BY GOING BACK ON WHAT YOU SAID TO ME. You didn't like that I was holding you accountable for things that you said and did during the duration of our short time training. You said: "I was trying to be kind and let you keep them indefinitely even though I didn't have to. To be honest when you come at me like this it makes me regret doing so" and by coming at you, you must be referring to me keeping you accountable for what you said, trying to figure out when I would get my last training sessions in with you, and not just let you keep my hard earned money. 5. You have NEVER sent me my workouts! EVER! I have asked you at least 4-5 times and you never sent them to me. As a matter of fact I finally had to tell you never mind I will type up what I can remember from the workouts. You are 100% not telling the truth by saying you would "resend" workouts that you provided me because YOU NEVER SENT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. 6. Per your contract, which I'm sure you're familiar with it states: CUT CLAUSE: Invictus Fitness reserves the right to end your program at any time for any reason. If this should happen with paid workouts remaining you receive a pro-rated refund. Well, you cut me. WHERE IS MY REFUND? If you didn't cut me, then why did you block my number? Why did you make promises and then go back on them? How can an honest business woman do that? HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRAIN WITH YOU AGAIN AND GET WHAT I PAID FOR WHEN YOU BLOCKED ME AND WON'T RESPOND BACK TO ME. Lastly, I do not need a copy of my contract because I have one and clearly you don't follow your own contact anyway, I do not need to train with you ever again and clearly that wasn't your intention either because you blocked my number, and I don't need any workout information from you because clearly you would have given me the information the first time I asked for it. What I do need is for you to be an honest business woman and for you to have integrity within your company to fulfill your end of obligations when asked from a client. I would also like for honesty to be spoken. There is no need to not tell the truth when handling business arrangements and fulfilling promises made between two people when your client is just trying to hold you accountable for your words and actions. *I added a picture of Nicole's first response* *I added another picture of Nicole's second response* ***UPDATE TO NICOLE'S SECOND RESPONSE*** I asked for a refund and you said no, ok that's fine. This has nothing to do with that, it is everything else, but I get it, you're trying to save face. I'm not frustrated. I'm just letting everyone know what type of person you are and how you run your business. I didn't refuse an offer because no offer was given to me. You blocked me. It's ok, I have proof of all my "claims/events". I hope you can find it in your heart to run your business better and stop taking people's money. Thanks!

I just wrapped up 7 months of personal training with Nicole. After some pandemic weight gain, much…read moreless activity and a difficult year, I knew I needed some help and support with my fitness. I wanted to drop some weight, get fitter, and feel stronger. Nicole came to my house twice a week to train me, and she was the right balance of encouraging and challenging. She never made me feel bad for not being able to do something but trained me at the level I was at and pushed me to do better week after week. She also gave me pointers on my diet, which was immensely helpful in helping me drop weight. In addition to training, Nicole is just an all around awesome person and I enjoyed our time each week to chat and catch up while we worked out. I've lost 30 pounds, 17 inches, and 14% body fat, and I've never felt better. I'm motivated to continue on with my healthy lifestyle and to keep getting fitter. I wish I could give Nicole more than five stars in my review-she's amazing!

I mentioned to my wife once that I thought it would be cool to get a "running coach". Christmas…read morerolled around and what'd I get? Coaching from Blue Sky Running under the tree! I was a little confused at first because I didn't remember saying anything about a running coach... but, here I am over a year later still working out with Blue Sky every Wednesday night! Lorin runs the operation and he's a pretty good dude. We do a lot of cross training type stuff and running type stuff. Sometimes he has other obligations and has to send one of his cohorts to train with me. All the Blue Sky guys are knowledgeable and they keep my workouts varied. It doesn't really matter who I am working with, I always feel like my money, and time, are well spent. I have definitely become a better runner since I started training with Blue Sky. I have set multiple Personal Records at varying distances, and I ran my first ever Half Marathon. I feel better, faster, and stronger than I ever have and I am excited about that. Price-wise, I think Blue Sky is perfectly reasonable. I had training sessions at a big gym years ago and I feel that I get more out of Blue Sky for less money. Lorin is really focused on the things I want to be focused on, and I don't ever have to worry about him asking me to "re-up my membership" since I pay on a per-workout basis. Anyhow... if you are looking to whip yourself back into shape (or into shape period) you should give Lorin a call. I have no doubt he can help set you on the right path.

For one, the coaches are extremely caring and informed about what they do. When Lorin and Collin are at practice, they are all there. They always encourage us to be at our best and are very talented at making us believe in ourselves more than we ever imagined. In terms of the program, we have workouts that are designed to help us greatly improve but that are very enjoyable. The environment is so much fun & the people that join are always so much more bonded by the end. The Bluesky motto, which reads, "changing lives one workout at a time," is really the best way to describe the feeling as a whole! I feel like my strength and fitness level is always improved at the end of the session, and it's always really awesome to go home each day feeling on top of the world! There is a motivating quote or article or lesson every day, and incentives like the 300 mile club that enhance the Bluesky experience even more. I am so, so thankful that I joined Bluesky my freshman year and can't wait to come back and see it changing so many more lives in the future! Without a doubt worth your time and money-- Bluesky really does become a family.

I have learned a lot about how my body works and the right way to train by working with him.

The self defense is my favorite part of all but I have enjoyed the physical training and strengthening. Something different and something that you can work at daily and see great improvements.

I am currently having him do some work on my hips and I'll say this about it: do this for a couple sessions or yoga every day for 6 months. I couldn't touch my toes. 2 sessions later, "hello floor!"

Looking for an ass kicking-lifting-tightening experience? (Ass kissing is a whole other review,…read moresorry.) A friend of mine recommended I check out Sandy George, a Master Fitness Specialist and Wellness Coach. She's amazing and she's affordable (I'm a musician. If I can do it, you can do it.) An hour session can take place anywhere - I like going to Pease Park, but she'll come to your home or office, too. I don't have to tell you that great exercise leads to a better quality of life/sleep/sex, etc., but I have learned so much about my own body in four sessions with Sandy. My chronic back pain is almost gone due to a few postural changes she suggested (after a full analysis at the beginning of the first session). I'm really picky about body and fitness professionals and Sandy does not waste my time. Sandy doesn't have a website, so give her a call if you're tired of running on a treadmill... or tired of running at all... or tired of reading this review.
