Obviously, COVID-19 has made going to a gym impossible but online workouts are just as good. We do two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays and we are plenty pooped when their done. One thing I want to emphasize is that this service is definitely NOT a one size fits all situation. If you're like my wife and I we are in our 60's and there are a few things we don't do because of old joints or back issues. That is the beauty of VFD. You can work with your trainer to get a workout customized for YOU. If an exercise causes you issues you can speak up and get an alternative way to exercise. We don't do "jumpy things" as my wife likes to call them. I have knee issues and my wife has some issues with her neck. Our workouts are challenging without hurting us. You control how difficult the workout is by talking to your trainer. We love Matthew and we look forward to seeing him on workout days. Don't be afraid, this is a great way to get in shape - in your own home. A good workout can be had with just bodyweight exercises. If you want to add a few dumbbells or some exercise bands they can be easily incorporated into your workout. Do yourself a favor and see how good you can feel when you exercise regularly with someone you trust.

I have been doing live, online, training 3 times a week for the past 8 months with Vitality Fitness…read moreDelivered. It has been a complete godsend. 2 years ago I suffered a tendinitis injury from my bad posture doing CrossFit. I was in really bad shape and my doctors were talking about surgery. I needed to find an alternative to traditional box/gym workout training routine. I needed something that would not only fit my lifestyle but cater to my health needs. I was literally contemplating this at a stoplight went on the radio I heard an ad for VFD. So I got to my office and made the call and set up a consultation. And I have not looked back since. My main trainers name is Megan. And she is amazing! She's not trying to shape me in some image she thinks I should be. Rather she is working at my pace and speed. The biggest thing I love is the flexibility. The ability to work out whenever and however I need. As a small business owner and a father of small children I have to have the customization in my life. If you're on the fence and wonder whether or not you should try it. Try it! You have nothing to lose. If you don't like it then don't do it. But I guarantee after a few weeks you'll be hooked.

In addition, I have also had two joint replacement surgeries in the last five years. I contacted Fit To You and met with Cole, a personal trainer, because I knew I needed to maintain my current level of strength, balance and fitness and hoped to build on that. I have been working out with Cole for several months and have noticed a big improvement in my strength and my ability to move more easily. I feel better and I'm confident that I will continue to improve. Cole is knowledgeable, attentive and patient and he is always willing to adjust and adapt my workouts when I tell him about any concerns I have. I would highly recommend Fit To You, not only for those who care about their health and fitness, but also for anyone like me who finds it necessary to continue working into their later years.

My wife found Fit to You online and suggested that I call. Cole came to my home for an initial consultation and I found him to be personable and knowledgeable about fitness and training. So, I signed up for a 3 day a week schedule and other than when I've had to be out of town I have yet to miss a scheduled date. Cole comes to my home, brings whatever equipment that he needs for our workout that day. He makes working out fun, not a chore like it used to be. As I'm almost 70 yo I have typical flexibility issues and knee replacements. Cole knows how to get the most out of our training sessions without overly stressing my joints or muscles. I now look forward to our sessions. If you're on the fence about working out, give Cole a call and meet with him. I'm positive that you will be impressed as I was. It's never to late to get in shape!

Nick comes with all the qualifications and certifications you could ask for in a personal trainer. But that's just the minimum. Nick's personalized programs are challenging, fun and constantly changing. Our programs changed about every 5-6 weeks with new, often interactive exercises. Over 2 years I lost 50 lbs, gained muscle mass and improved all my metabolic numbers. But more impressive for me is is all that I gained in terms of confidence in my body, balance and stamina. I even began boxing with Nick, something I couldn't imagine when I began. Nick quickly discerns what makes his clients tick and maximizes his workouts to match not only their needs but what makes the workout fun. I never missed a workout unless there was a serious issue. I've had other trainers but no one can compare. Can't say enough good things. Lucky SLO! I am 68 and Nick has literally helped me to add years to my life, quality years at that.

He genuinely cares about me and is above and beyond what I was looking for in a personal trainer. Thanks for everything you've done for me Nick! Looking forward to our next workout.

When Brent found Tala, she was in a heartbreaking situation--essentially feral and abandoned by the side of a highway, just days away from being euthanized. Thanks to Brent's dedication and expertise, she not only got a second chance at life, but she became the most well-behaved and gentle dog we've ever met. Tala is a Husky-Samoyed mix, and from the moment we brought her home, it was clear she had been given an amazing foundation. She walks like a dream--both on and off leash--has zero reactivity, and greets every person and animal she encounters with calm friendliness. She's completely potty and crate trained, follows commands effortlessly, and doesn't jump or vocalize unnecessarily. She's also wonderfully affectionate and incredibly food motivated, which makes bonding with her a joy. What amazes us most is how Brent managed to shape her behavior so thoughtfully without dulling her spirit. Tala still has all the bright, clever, loving traits that make her such a unique and special companion. She's seamlessly become part of our family, and we truly can't imagine life without her. Brent is nothing short of a miracle worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ace Dog Training to anyone looking to adopt or train a dog with kindness, skill, and heart. Thank you, Brent, for giving Tala--and us--such a beautiful new beginning.

The ride itself was a little less than an hour and our trail guides were super friendly, checking in on us often and making sure we stayed in a line. The only thing is I wish they gave us some time at the end to take photos of us while we were on the horses but it's okay; we were able to take photos with the horses after we got off. Overall, it was a wonderful horseback riding experience for the price ($75/person) and I already want to go again!

I am wondering if the city of SLO is aware exactly how loud the music is that's played at this…read morepool. As I write this I'm in my home (I live across the creek on the opposite side of Southwood Drive) with all windows shut and very clearly hear it, from a distance of 300 ft. I mentioned the distance because the city's own noise ordinance states, in pertinent part: "Between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., it is a violation to make or allow noise that can be heard 50 feet from your property line." My residence is five times the distance spelled out in the ordinance. However, I walked back through my complex to see how far the noise was audible. I stood at the basketball court fence adjacent to my property - a distance of 500 ft, 10 times the distance in the city's ordinance - and the music is still audible. Now, I'm familiar with the concept of due diligence when looking for a new place to stay, and I did research this neighborhood before moving here. I was aware I would next to two parks, a school, and a baseball stadium. I have no problem with the noise from the ball games, school etc. as it's unavoidable but the pool music is not. Further, I couldn't have conceived of a scenario where I would regularly be subjected to loud music from a city ran facility, in violation of their own noise ordinance. Again, I'm giving the city the benefit of the doubt, in good faith, and assuming they're unaware of this. I feel a lot of it has to do with the placement of whatever speaker(s) the music is played over. Thus, a possible solution would be to arrange the speakers so they face away from the complexes on the other side of the street. They could still face the pool, and the hill/elementary chool on the other side of the pool would largely blunt the music from traveling to the residences on Augusta. I'm really hoping to hear back from someone with the city in regards to this.
