"I never really liked working out as it was extremely difficult to get motivated as well as find the time to do it.  Even having a gym membership didn't help as they are always crowded and can be unmotivating.  After signing up with Jared with Hit Fit I have a different attitude toward exercising.  I like how Jared takes a very targeted approach towards helping me achieve my personal fitness goals both by crafting a specific regime for me as well as helping me plan my diet.  Jared is awesome by not just focusing on the resistance part of the workout, but also on cardio, posture, breathing techniques, rest and stretching which are essential in order to maximize results.  I highly recommend trying out Jared with Hit Fit."

"I have been a client of Hit Fit for several years now. I am now 6 months pregnant and since becoming pregnant, my trainer, Jared, has paid close attention to my new workout regime taking into consideration my severe heartburn caused by hormonal changes during my pregnancy, and also my focus on trying to keep my backside in check since this is a very highly affected area during pregnancy.

For many women it has been shown that exercise during pregnancy can enhance energy levels, self-esteem and mood, while at the same time reducing some of the physical discomforts of pregnancy. A speedier recovery after delivery and a quicker return to the pre-pregnant state have also been documented. Studies have shown that the IQ of children from women who are active during pregnancy tend to be higher than those of children of non-active women.

It is also important to remember that pregnant women may have the tendency to overindulge in foods because of food cravings caused by hormonal changes. This can cause fat tissue gain, which can be controlled through exercise so my afternoon cheese snack I don't have to feel bad about because I am feeding my growing baby and I know I will keep my weight gain safe and in check as I reach the final stages of pregnancy.

With this in mind, the instructions from a personal trainer can have positive influences on a pregnant woman's psychological, as well as physical, preparation for childbirth. Jared keeps me motivated and focused on a safe yet still active pregnancy lifestyle."

"I've been working with Jared for a little over (or almost -- I can't remember which) two years. During that time, I've learned good form and more importantly, discipline in my workout. I've also learned to set reasonable goals for myself and realize those goals through my training sessions with Jared. Rather than just 'getting through my workouts', I'm able to see actual results."

"T- Weight-raining with Jared was fun and he was always on time and prepared. But the best thing was that once I hit 35, running 15 to 20 miles was not keeping the weight off and by 37 I had put on nearly 15 pounds while running. Jared developed a diet for me that would work with my slow metabolism, we added weight training and in 16 weeks I had lost the 15 pounds and felt great. Two years later, I'm still using his techniques and have kept the weight off."

"I was a 53-year-old woman when I started working with Jared two years ago. I started working with him because my young cousin suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack with no warning and I certainly didn't want to follow him. Jared understood immediately that I needed a somewhat different type of exercise from what I had in mind, and isn't this why you really need a professional to guide you? For about a year and half I had suffered with severe pain in one elbow (and moderate pain in several other joints). I was taking a lot of medication for pain and swelling, I had been through quite a bit of physical therapy and my docs had recommended disc surgery to relieve the problem in my arm. At that time, I could not raise my arm up beyond the level of my hip and, even at that level, the pain was intense. I couldn't even hand coins to the toll booth operator!

"Jared gave me some very gentle, but very specific exercises. I was skeptical. Lots of docs and physical therapists had given me exercises to do and the ones he was recommending were waaayy too gentle to do any good, or so I thought. And he kept after me. When I was in tears with the pain, there was a really sincere hug but then a firm expectation of at least some effort at exercise. And on days when I felt pretty good, he was tough, which was exactly what I needed.

"Bottom-line" Within a month my arm was much better and within six weeks, good as new and I've had no arm pain in the two years since then. I continued with Jared and worked on many other joint and pain problems. The techniques he taught me I use all the time, and I've had knee problems since I was nine years old. When things flare up, I go back to the simple and effective techniques he taught me and I keep going without surgery! So now, with his help, I've been able to start a walking program that is helping me shed the pounds that have troubled me for years. I don't get to work with Jared much anymore, but I keep in touch and I keep his number handy in case things get out of hand for me because I know this young man has the answers. You won't go wrong with him, he knows his business."

"My exercise focus is on keeping my blood sugar levels under control. After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I needed a form of exercise that I would actually do and that would work along side my diet to help keep me healthy. HIT FIT has been wonderful! My blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides are all at normal levels and my doctor is thrilled with my health."

"I have been working out with Jared since before he started HIT FIT. He helped me through a 90 pound weight loss and has been able to help get me into a regular exercise routine while still accommodating some preexisting medical conditions and major surgery . I feel good, I look good. Jared has been a key part of that."
