Custom Fitness Concepts

I have been using Custom Fitness Concepts for several years now. They used to come to our corporate location, but we didn't have enough people. Tom established a site close to where we worked, and we became regular customers at that point. It worked out pretty well. In the meantime, I changed job locations. He has so many good locations, I was just able to go to a different, much closer, and more convenient site for my new commuting schedule. I like that you can go to any site that makes sense for you on a given day. I get a great workout every morning. If I do it in the morning I'm done; I don't have to think about it again, and I only have to take one shower. If I try to do things on my own, I only do what I am comfortable doing. Though sometimes I might have to stop in the middle, I am bound to do more with a bunch of people than I would by myself. They also do a lot of partnering, so another person is depending on you to keep going in order to continue their exercises. That keeps me moving. The whole group thing is good for me, because I am not motivated enough to do it on my own. Now it has become an ingrained habit. I can't even consider getting up and not doing it, because now it is what I do. Jane Maier more

I have been with Custom Fitness Concepts since May of 2005, so five years, and I have been through maybe 2 or 3 different trainers. They have all been really good at helping me accomplish my fitness goals and keeping to my daily workout activities. I haven't had too much experience with other groups, but I know they are all pretty dedicated. They work different areas and range from arm to core along with agility, cardio, and long-distance runs. It is a good program designed to meet all fitness levels. Our class has a range of different ages and body types, but everybody comes eager to do what it on the repertoire that day. The program is also good because it is very flexible. There are a number of different sites offered so that if you don't like one trainer you can go to another site. Also, they have flexible hours with both morning and evening sites. You don't have to stick to one site, so that if you miss a day, you can get your money's worth by going to another site at a different time, so that is good. more

Custom Fitness Concepts has been great. We have a trainer, Dusty, who comes twice week, and she works really hard. I have lost 35 pounds from the combinations of doing Custom Fitness Concepts and working with a nutritionist. My clothes fit a lot better, and I am down two, almost two and a half, sizes. The weight lose is definitely a combination of both the exercises and changing my eating habits. We have a small group trainer; we have a trainer specific to us. There are 6 of us in our group at work, and Dusty adjusts our exercise based on our needs and level of fitness. The group has a wide variety in terms of level, and our trainer will give exercise that everyone can do. She adjusts them so that everyone gets the maximum benefit. Also, because we are a small group we get individual attention. In larger classes instructors might have a harder time knowing what is going on with everyone, but Dusty can see and adjust everyone in our group easily. more

I first heard about Custom Fitness Concepts from a Groupon ad and have been using them since February of this year. The class in my area is at 6 a.m. I enjoy the teamwork with my classmates, and the instructors are great. If it's been a while since you exercised, Custom Fitness Concepts is a great support system to step back into getting fit. A lot of people in my group have lost quite a bit of weight in the last 6 to 8 months. more

I love Custom Fitness Concepts; I absolutely love it. It really gives me the motivation I need. I have been going for about two and a half year. To me, it is fun because it is different all the time. There are different activities during different times of the year, like summer fun activities. I continually get sore with this program, which means they change it up enough to make me sore. I do like that variety. In the beginning I tried out different locations and instructors, but now I have been at the same one constantly. Stick with it. At the beginning it is overwhelmingly hard but you have to take it at your own level. I know a lot of people get really excited and think they can do it five times a week, but it is important to go at your own level. Stick with it because it is worth it. more

I been working out with Custom Fitness Concepts on and off for about 4 years. The off times have been because of my crazy schedule as opposed to anything else. I think in terms of proving a personal training experience in a group environment, there is nothing better out there. At all. I have tried many other programs, and I find Tom and Custom Fitness Concepts to be the best. I struggle to believe there is anything out there that compares. Tom is challenging yet understanding. He consistently pushes you and pushes you to improve, do better, and basically get fitter, which is what it's all about. So, overall I am very happy. I have recommended them and I will continue to recommend them. more

I'm just over a month into Reggie's early morning classes at Rose Park, and feel stronger every day. The workouts are really challenging and varied, but Reggie always offers a modified version for those who can't keep up (sometimes me). The classes always start and end on time, which I appreciate, and everyone is very encouraging of each other. I'm even considering my first Saturday class tomorrow. Highly recommend! more

I was just looking for something different. I had a gym membership for a long time, and I wasn't going, so I wanted more of a personal trainer. I found Tom at Custom Fitness Concepts. I've been doing the fitness boot camp at 5:30 p.m. It's really good, when I go. It's not the same everyday. You don't know what you're expecting from day-to-day, so it keeps you motivated. It's certainly challenging. I wouldn't be doing those exercises on my own. I'd probably just give up. It's a great workout because it's in a group setting, but at the same time you get individual attention from Tom. I think he's a great trainer. He pushes you, but not to the point that you don't want to come back. I feel like I've gotten stronger, and I've lost weight in the process. I would recommend it to anybody. I definitely enjoy it. It can be a little pricey but I think the rewards outweigh it. I've definitely seen way more results than I've ever seen at the gym, and I've been going to the gym for years. more

About four years ago, I went to Customer Fitness Concepts for about 4-5 months. I recently came back and have been using them for about three months. I missed the workout. I've been doing the fitness boot camp at the 6 a.m. In all honesty, it probably took a solid month to get my body back used to that level. It still continues to be a challenge, but I feel I can do everything Tom throws at me for the most part. It's like getting a personal trainer everyday, and for the price you can't beat it. I would tell a potential customer: Don't be scared. You just have to give it a shot and stick with it. more

This is a great alternative to a boring gym routine. I joined because I get bored in the gym really easily and then it kills my motivation to work out. Tom, the owner, was my instructor for my first class and he was great!!! The routine was challenging. He really made sure everyone had the correct form, so we wouldn't injure ourselves and gave those who did have injuries an alternative move, if they could not do the one given. I had ACL surgery and have bad knees on both knees and once he corrected my form my knees felt better. He makes class fun with his crazy cadence calls and motivates you to get those last 2 or 3 in. I love this class. Definitely the cure for a boring workout routine as well as shredding some extra pounds!!! more

I first started going to Custom Fitness Concepts at the end of April. I originally purchased a month through a groupon to try it out. I had been to other boot camps before, so I was familiar with the process. I really enjoyed myself and have been doing it ever since. The trainer, Reggie, does a great job. He is good at keeping us focused by mixing it up so that it is not boring. He also pushes everyone while still recognizing our limitations. It has been a great experience. I have been trying to get friends to do it with me and check it out. Custom Fitness Concepts is definitely worth a shot. They give a free trial class so that you can try it. Especially if you think that you work out well in a group as opposed to on your own, I don't see a better way to get in shape. more

I've been going to Custom Fitness Concepts since June 1. I do the group fitness boot camp, which is a group class of about 15 people or so. It's a one hour class, and the instructor guides the class through a series of exercises which are different every time. They help you gain muscle tone, burn calories, and achieve things you haven't done before. Since June, I've lost about 30 pounds. It's been a dramatic transformation. I've been in and out of gyms for a long time, but this program works better for me, because the instructor tells you what to do. With this program, all you need to do is get yourself there. They take care of all the rest. They know how to make you work hard for a solid hour, and the benefits are just tremendous. It's a dynamic, transformational, life-changing experience because everything you get out of it affects your life. Everything you can think of is affected, and really, it's a great tribute to the program. I tell Tom this all the time: I'm 41 years old, and in my youth I was very fit, and I had the opportunity to work out with many professional sports trainers, and Tom and his staff is actually more impressive. Tom has a fantastic background in fitness and in the military and he knows his stuff. Every single exercise, he knows what it's supposed to do and what it's supposed to look like and how it will benefit you. more

I have been attending Custom Fitness Concepts boot camp since April 2009. I have been really, really happy with the results, the way I feel and the way my body feels. For the most part I have been really happy with my trainers. Tom trains the class I am in now, and he is great. He is very knowledgeable, and knows what he is doing. He pays attention to each individual, which in a group class can be difficult. He knows who in class he can push, and who he can't push. Overall, working with Custom Fitness Concepts has been a good experience. They offer a lot of flexibility in terms of how many days you go and what location you choose. It is a motivating atmosphere and a great way to get in shape if the style is up your alley. If you are looking for a positive group atmosphere, you will find it at Custom Fitness. more

I have been using Customer Fitness Concepts for a little longer than a year, and I have seen really great results. I like the fact that I can go every morning before work and get a great workout each time. No matter what body part we target, or if it is cardio, by the time I get to my desk I know I have worked hard. I like the trainers at Custom Fitness Concepts. They are different in their own way, but they are all challenging to members that come for the workout. They really pay attention to form. I really have had very good experiences. I have recommended them to others, and at this point have gotten both my husband and brother to join. Custom Fitness Concepts is a little more expensive than a gym, but it is well worth it. You are sure to get a good workout. more

The trainers at Custom Fitness Concepts seem to really care about their customers. They especially care about keeping their customers' forms correct and doing the exercises right. Even if you are slower, the trainers find ways to keep you up with the group so that you won't slow down others. This is my 4th month using them and I have definitely seen results. It has been great. If you can, join up. I really love it, and I think it is awesome. It really is a great group of people to work with. more

I have used Customer Fitness Concepts on and off for awhile, and recently joined again. I found a location closer to my home that offers classes 3 mornings a week, and that has worked well for me. It is really an awesome workout. My experience with them has been wonderful. The trainers are great and are willing to work with you if you have particular needs or injuries. It has been a really great experience, and I prefer it to a gym. Because they offer both morning and evening classes it is easy to fit into a schedule. Since it is such a phenomenal workout I really think that people should give it a try. more

So far everything has been pretty easy using Custom Fitness Concepts. The billing is quick, and they are always quick in response. We used them as a corporate healthful living event. The programs are hard but very rewarding. It is definitely worth the money. It is like having a personal trainer for less money. more

I know Tom, the manager, from working with a previous health program. I was impressed with his professionalism. When Tom started Custom Fitness Concepts I decided to go with them because I liked the location. I have gone to several different classes and sites. I have gone to about 5 different sites, the running clinic, and a classes that focuses more on kickboxing style drills. I have used Custom Fitness Concepts for about 5 years. No matter who the instructor is, they are always thinking of things that will challenge me. That means that no matter how long I do it, it is never easy. Whatever your fitness level is, Custom Fitness Concepts with challenge you. Tom has given all his trainers remarkable training. No matter what site I go to the experience is always great. Custom Fitness Concepts is really is an invaluable service in the sense that is gives the camaraderie of a group, which makes everyone more accountable and motivated. Also, the fact that I am outdoors is a big enticement. The workout feels good and it makes me a happier person. I am running a marathon soon, which would never have happened before, because this program has made a real difference in my physical fitness. Dorine Wells more

I have been with Custom Fitness Concepts for over a year. I started with their boot camp and I have been working with a personal trainer, Yousof, for a year. Yousof is very professional, personable and attentive. I am a little older than most people in the class but one of the physically strongest because I have been there probably the longest. Yousof pushes us to do our best and he demonstrates the benefits of getting into great physical condition. He always changes the workouts. Going to Custom Fitness Concepts was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am on vacation now but I am still doing the same exercises that we do in class I am staying on my program and I thoroughly enjoy it. I would not have it any other way. I have seen tremendous results and it is all because of the personal trainer. Hazel Hayes more

I have been using Custom Fitness Concepts for a year and a half now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not otherwise have done this on my own. The service is arranged through our company and they come to our office. I have exercise equipment at home, but this is a totally different experience. They offer a program that is totally different than anything I would do on my own. I have not run since high school and I am now back into that. They are forcing me to do things I need. We have been working with Yousef for a year and a half. He is our primary trainer and he is wonderful. Yousef is very flexible with our work schedule. He pushes when necessary and he listens to us. I am very pleased with Custom Fitness Concepts. I would otherwise never do a program like this and I need it. Corinne Mulligan more
