Specifically, I wanted to start a regular fitness routine of both mountain biking and trail running. However, as a newcomer to both, I was unsure of where to begin. Since meeting Travis, he's helped me tremendously in terms of motivation, technical tips, and planning a fitness routine. I've been able to improve my form, my efficiency, and most importantly really enjoy my outdoor training. Travis has an infectiously positive personality, and I'd recommend him highly to anyone seeking to take their fitness to the next level.

A dear friend and I were the only two to book this week and we hiked just over 40 miles during our 5 days. We needed sunscreen & visors the first 3 days followed by our winter gear and even yak traks due to an early snow fall, which I must say added a whole new beauty to the changing Aspens. We were well prepared due to the advance weather forecast, though if needed, Wilhelmina has a wonderful supply of extra gear. The accommodations are very comfortable, the food is lite, fresh and delicious, the views extroidinary and lounging in the hot tub at the end of the day is magical, whether under the stars or with falling snowflakes. The upgrades to the massage room and exercise studio are lovely and it sounds like Wilhelmina has plans for even more. I always drop between 5 and 8 pounds but more importantly feel incredibly refreshed. I have never been dissapointed and always look forward to a return visit.

This is self-care taken to the highest power, presided over by the beautiful and wise Wilhelmina Colvill, who claims to be 78. (You will have trouble believing that.) The combination of Wilhelmina's light but delicious meals and her structure -- morning exercises and rigorous daily hikes -- will not only help you lose weight, but also ignite your confidence. You can do this! Wilhelmina's hospitality is part of what makes Walkabout Ridge extraordinary, along with her kind and funny hiking guides and her lovely home with its stunning mountain views. And what better way to get to know your fellow guests than by hiking with them for four hours a day? There were four of us, and we had such a good time getting to know each other. We could easily have spent two weeks there, but even one week has made a profound difference in our lives.

Ross Is an amazing teacher, he takes his time to explain everything, and why we are doing things in a certain way. He explains things to me in a way I can understand. I'm a Contractor/ Builder and I'm always using my body to beautify peoples home..... as well as shlep, thousands of pounds of materials around and always holding something in my hand, or climbing, crawling, hammering...... My body was so beat down when I started working with Ross. Over the last 3 years my body has shifted and changed for the better! What's Great about working with Ross is when I walk in he asks, "How's your body feeling and what would you like to work on?". He tailors exercises to fit my needs every session, While helping to relate it to my work so, I make sure to practice good form while I'm working. This allows me to stay in better shape, better alignment, get more done, and stay pain free! Thank you Ross!

Institute trainers in boulder. at my first complimentary appt., ross put me through a battery of unique physical tests. after studying the results, he explained what was working with my body and my everyday body movements and what wasn't. he drew up a exercise plan and we began to tackle my weaknesses with new, specialized stretches and strengthening exercises, ones that i had never tried before or seen on youtube. now, i can say that after only one month, my body is working more like in my younger years. there's more re-training ahead, but i'm confident that with ross as my coach, i will move better without pain and that's something i never got from the PT clinics.

At that…read morepoint, I know I have already accomplished something, so I feel great when I get to work, and ready to tackle what's in front of me. From resistance bands to kick boxing, running and med balls, sand bags to kettle bells, the workout is ever changing so I don't get bored or feel like I am in a rut. That keeps me rolling out of bed each day. Not only does the Summit Fit boot camp offer such a wide variety of workouts, the trainers are fantastic nutrition coaches as well. We all know that a workout without nutrition is a waste of time, so it is great to have someone looking out for both your physical fitness as well as your nutritional fitness in one location. I am so glad that my wife (after attending for nearly 10 months) convinced me to sign up for Summit Fit Boot-camp as well. When they instituted the 6 am class, I didn't have anymore excuses for not being able to go. After the first month i was able to notice a clear and significant change in how i felt and how all of my clothes fit me. It didn't take long and i had reached the point where all of my belts were cinched to the last hole and there was still more room. I am not as lethargic anymore, and i love the energy it gives me for keeping up with my boys at home. Attending Summit Fit Boot-camp has become so much more than just an individual endeavor. All of the boys get involved and have improved their health right alongside me. They are benefiting from the better meals that we are preparing, the host of better snacks that are available, and they love to participate in try the workouts after i come home. They each set up new challenges against me, or against each other (i.e. how long can you hold that plank? or I bet i can do more push-ups in 1 minute, dad). On top of that they chomp at the bit to see who gets to attend on the family fitness day. I have the opportunity to go as often as I like without extra charges. This has really given me the opportunity to put my fitness and wellness into my own hands, and give me the clear responsibility to keep it up. Signing up for Summit Fit was the best thing I have done for my self in years. This is something that I consciously take time for me, and reap benefits for my entire family. Thank you Lynn! Thank you Javier! Thanks for teaching me how to workout right, and making it fun. Thank you for teaching me how to eat right, and showing the results of some simple changes. I feel great and I am a HUGE fan of Summit Fit. pete

Not only have I gained strength and lost weight, I have become much more agile, and moving around has actually started to feel good. After a lifetime of klutziness that I thought could never be changed, working with Tom on not just muscular strength but muscular *function* has given me a newfound trust in my own body. I can now approach physical activity with a confidence I never had before, and that has led to big changes both inside and outside the gym. I looked at a lot of clubs and trainers before choosing Sun Fitness -- I knew I wanted a no-nonsense, no-glitz, scientifically based fitness regimen, and that's exactly what I got. The workouts are very challenging and extremely effective. Highest recommendation.

I knew I needed to commit to my health in a responsible way. He and I started, and still continue to train twice a week. I wasn't trying to lose weight or even tone so much. Just strengthen mostly. The results are astounding. Over time I strengthened, toned, and lost 14 pounds. I'm surprised how proud of myself I feel and owe it to this very knowledgable, competent, and sensitive trainer. Now I rarely have back or neck pain. I sleep much better. I'm less anxious in just living my life and my shorts are 2 sizes smaller then they were. I have a lot of fun just in the training with Drew. He's been teaching me proper form and just when I think I've plateaued, he ups the anti and challenges me to go further. I was in a pool with friends a couple of months ago.
