Custom Fitness Concepts

I started working out at CFC about two years ago. I was looking for an effective way to cross train and stay fit while recovering from a running injury. Having tried other group classes before, I didn’t have too many expectations. Let me tell you, I was wrong! Not only was I instantly welcomed to the friendly and enthusiastic bootcamp ‘family’, but I also noticed the results very quickly. The workouts are designed in a way that enables to hit every aspect of fitness including upper, lower body and core strength, balance, cardio, agility and speed. Tom incorporates many sport specific moves such as suicides, band resistance running, skipping and football drills. The workouts are always challenging but never leave you completely wiped out. Being a very experienced trainer, Tom can tell right away where you are in your fitness and will push you as much as you need to get to the next level. I knew CFC works from the beginning but my biggest surprise came when I ran a half marathon last week. I hadn’t been able to do any race training or any running at all outside of bootcamp. I started at my normal half marathon pace and promised myself I’d slow down if it became too hard (since I wasn’t ‘race fit’). Long story short, I finished 78th out of over 10.000 women, 25th in my age group and was just 5 minutes short of my personal best! more

I wanted to lose a little weight and get back in shape. After trying out Custom Fitness I am glad I enrolled in their workout programs. Using them I have seen a boost in my energy levels and feel like I'm a young girl all over again! more

I have been a client of Custom Fitness Concepts for about a year and a half. Tom is an excellent instructor. I go to the Sterling indoor location. Since I have been working with them I have lost 34 pounds and no longer take any medications. I have the utmost confidence in the workouts that we do. Go to Custom Fitness Concepts it is worth it! more

I've been using Custom Fitness Concepts, LLC for almost two years. I was an athlete at a Division I school, so I found the best part of CFC is having a coach, or trainer, who will tell you what to do and being part of a team. That's an aspect I was really missing just going to the gym by myself. The workouts are customized for whatever level you're at. I think they're great. The level of support you get from the trainers and the value in having someone care about your health is beyond anything I've done. more

I used to belong to a gym but would get bored and end up stopping. I like the variety of their workouts at Custom Fitness Concepts. If you work at your own pace and fitness level, you can still get that good workout. One thing I appreciate about my trainer, Tom (who's the CEO), is that I'm not just another number to him. He actually wants everyone to show up to reach our goals. more

I started going to Custom Fitness Concepts, LLC in October because I have a couple of dear friends who are clients. They always raved about the workouts. They told me how they challenged them and were helping them meet their fitness goals. They also said it was just a great way to start the day. When it was time for me to start working on some of my fitness goals, I gave the class a try. It was great! Not only are the trainers excellent, but the support you get from the other campers is inspiring. It's infectious! We really are a team, and it makes you want to come in and sweat and reach those goals together. Come in and give a class a try! You won't know how much you can do until you get into one of the classes! more

I have been a customer with Custom Fitness for a little over a year now. My fitness level has dramatically increased since becoming a customer. I consider myself to be strong now and I was not before. Overall I am physically fit and I really like how the workouts are tailored to my specific goals. more

I've been working out in plenty of other places. The key things that make Custom Fitness Concepts, LLC interesting to me as a guy who is already fit and has done this for a while are Tom's motivation, changes, and new things he tries to incorporate. He makes it interesting and engaging for someone like me who has already done it and is already pretty fit, while also making it good for everybody else of different statuses. He brings in the joy of what's going to be in class. The class is never boring, in the end! more

I have been going to Custom Fitness Concepts, LLC for four months now, and it is a great program. They offer consistent, cohesive, disciplined, and organized classes but also lots of variety. The classes can get as packed as 25-30 people, but the classes still feel personalized. I love that the classes begin and end promptly at the scheduled time; I never have to worry about being late to work or anything. The 6am class with Tom works best with my schedule, and I've been so happy with his guidance. He's committed to helping you, so he REALLY accounts for all of his students. He will personally consult you, so if you have certain goals for yourself in mind, you can work with him to create a realistic plan that will help you toward your goals. You can even reach him outside of CFC via facebook or email to discuss your goals in detail. Everyone at CFC is encouraging. CFC manages to draw in great, motivated, supportive people. Everyone helps each other reach their goals. It's not at all a competitive atmosphere. It's progressive. Whatever level you're at, someone will be there to push you. A lot of the time, we will even partner up with each other for workouts. It's like a big family. We sometimes share happy hours and special events together. The atmosphere is always friendly, and everyone gets along well. All of the instructors offer solid expertise. They know that I am recovering from a knee injury, so they always make the necessary modifications for me and anyone else experiencing injuries. Sometimes, gyms won't always do this, and it can result in more damage to the injury, but at CFC, I never have to remind them. In fact, they helped me get back on track and motivated me to rehabilitate all parts of my body, including my injury. I've improved my running, seen great results, and felt GREAT without being too beat. My husband, too, is recovering from a knee injury, and Tom makes it obvious that he cares about his healing process. This program is such great value for the money, too! They offer unlimited prices for a great price! If you are ready to make a lifestyle change and commit to it, you will not regret going to Custom Fitness Concepts. Even though everyone has different fitness goals, everyone benefits! RESPONSE FROM Custom Fitness Concepts, LLC: could not have written it any better myself! Great Review Bev, thank you so much! more

Every trainer there is well-trained and they do workouts to accommodate all levels of fitness. The owner, Tom, is fabulous. They change the workouts every day so you aren't bored. They personally helped me to be able to run two 5k races. The trainers are great motivators. more

I've really enjoyed CFC's bootcamp classes. I've attended for 2.5 years and never expected to stay so long. Great workout with a great instructor (Randy at Key Elementary). Instructor pushes you to workout harder, while still being friendly. I like the variety too...never gets boring. Have recommended, and will continue to recommend, to friends! more

I have a couple of injuries and I've been able to work through them and not miss workouts. It is always fun and I look forward to the afternoons working out. I can't imagine not working out there, it reduces my stress level tremendously. more

CFC helped me achieve goals that I never saw myself having. I joined CFC to lose weight before my wedding and dropped 20 lbs in 3 months! I've never seen results from a regular gym and would end up not going. With CFC, the results are amazing and my instructor, Yousof, is so enthusiastic. The people at the Tyson's PM site became great friends and would hold eachother accountable during each workout. The program really opened my eyes to how important fitness is and I'm forever grateful to CFC for helping me with that realization. more

As someone who doesn't enjoy cardio exercise but realizes that it's necessary for overall health, I was thrilled to discover that it can be fun in the right environment - such as a CFC boot camp. I initially tried CFC with a Living Social 1-month voucher but enrolled because it's one of the best workouts and I won't push myself to do what I do when I'm in boot camp. Omar does a great job at ensuring that we use proper form to prevent injury and get the most from the workout. I also love how I feel like a million bucks at the end of a boot camp class. more

I started going to Custom Fitness Concepts in July. I have always gone to a gym but never managed to get motivated. The first time at Custom Fitness Concepts, I was intimidated but continued to go. Tom is very inspirational. He makes sure you're doing what you should be doing and doing it right. He motivates you and pushes you as hard as you want to be pushed. Overall, it has been a great experience. more

I have never met Tom, but I certainly applaud him for the type of people he employs at CFC Fitness. I too started 6 months ago and was hooked right away. I celebrate my 67th birthday in a couple of weeks. I feel better now than I did almost 20 years ago after 30 years in the U.S. Navy. I manage to do 5 days a week with a 6th day at Burke Lake. My thanks goes to Kristina, Robin and Jen. They are the best. My thanks also goes to the many folks that come out day after day. more

I really like Custom Fitness Concepts. They are extremely motivating. Tom, the CEO, cares about whether or not his customers show up, and he keeps it interesting by changing up the routine. I've been going for six months. Initially, I was going to try it out with a groupon for one month, but I was so impressed with the level of personalization that Tom gives his clients, that after one month I was hooked. more

I think Custom Fitness Concepts' program is awesome. Their workouts change every day. You don't have to think. You just go and do and it works. more

The workout is different every single day at Custom Fitness Concepts, and they definitely push you. It's a great company. I love it. I'm sad to be moving away because I'm definitely going to miss it. more

I decided I needed to get myself in shape asap, I am having surgery soon and I wanted to be in better shape before that. I was a little weary of the program, thinking I wouldn't be able to do it because I'm older than most of the people there. But I joined up and have been doing it for about 3 months now. It has worked out very well. Some of the things I can't do as well because I am older, but they have given me advice for alternative exercises for when that happens. The instructors are tough, and they push you as hard as they can but they are also very understanding. My experience so far has been very enjoyable, at the end of the workout I am always so glad I came. I've lost about 10 pounds so far, and I feel a lot better overall. more
