Fitness Together

I'm in my 60's and have belonged to many gyms and have had many personal trainers. From the moment you enter the private training area, you know this is a different and special fitness facility. Every session I've had with Ed has produced nothing but positive results. He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient and demanding. I read about the latest theories in exercising and they all talk about how important it is to train with a variety of exercises. I am constantly amazed that Ed continues to offer such a variety in exercises. This is not lifting weights, in the traditional sense; it is rather using the entire body to exercise a multitude of muscles. These exercises are functional. They make me feel stronger in all my movements. Whether I'm riding my bike or getting up from the couch, or playing golf, I feel stronger and I am now aware of the importance of my core muscles. If you think a personal trainer is expensive, try not exercising and see the price you pay. Pros: All Cons: A lot of work! more

Every now and then you find something worth talking about… and I would like to share the good news about Fitness Together in Temecula. After moving to Murrieta less than a year ago, I began to hunt for a personal trainer to help me work out. I was recovering from foot surgery and needed to ease into training slowly and work on losing weight. Working with Ed Ferrell has been great. He is always conscious to make sure I am using correct form and procedure as to not reinjure myself. He has helped me to set up a food journal and continues to give me tools and tips to work on to help in my goal of losing weight. His perseverance and personal touch is quite a motivator. The personal trainers at Fitness Together are professional, knowledgeable, and help keep the workouts fun. The gym facility is incredibly clean, and some of the special amenities include chilled water bottles, clean gym towels, and a fresh fruit bowl for all clients . An excellent choice for a gym and personal training…. Truly worth trying! Pros: professional trainers, excellent facilities more

Having spent my life as a Fitness, Yoga and Dance Instructor, I never felt like I would benefit from a personal trainer. Two years ago, a hip injury caused me to limit my activities and my fitness level plummeted. I knew that I needed to do something, and was lucky to find Fitness Together in Temecula. From the minute I walked in the door, I knew that I was in a professional fitness center. I was welcomed cheerily by Ed and was given the tour of the facility and it’s state of the art equipment. Ed interviews each client thoroughly and recommends a program to meet each person’s goal. Each session gradually becomes more and more challenging, but more and more fun and rewarding. I have been working at Fitness Together twice a week for six months now, and I can honestly say that I feel great! My workouts are always creative, safe and never boring. I am always assured that I am doing each exercise with proper alignment, using the appropriate weight for me. As a result, I have regained strength in my legs, toned up my upper body and increased my cardiovascular fitness. Ed’s tips on nutrition have helped me to maintain healthy eating habits. I couldn’t be happier with the results! Working out with Ed is one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you Fitness Together! Pros: Professional Trainers more

I started with Merin about 35 sessions ago. I go three times a week and have made so much progress. I am amazed at how she finds a way to work every muscle without me even knowing I am working that muscle group. She really knows her stuff. I am 45 and am sad that it has taken me this long to committ to such a program. The environment is so clean it is refreshing having coming from some of the gyms in our area. I have worked out at many gyms but personal training is so much different. Don't fool yourself into thinking you know what you are doing. Give Merin or Ed a try and you will be very surprised. They have the certificates for a reason. I am in awe at what I have learned about my body. I have not regretted the $$ output for one moment. I think they give a free session so there is nothing to lose. Pros: Up to date knowledge-Professional and results Cons: Have not found one yet more

I’ve been overweight for a while now, my job keeps me in a chair most of the day so I was looking for a way to drop the extra pounds. I’ve tried the diets; I tried the DVDs and even spend a ridicules amount of money on gyms to no avail. So at the point I found Fitness Together I was a little skeptical. You have a personal one on one trainer that focuses on you. I’ve had trainers in the past that go through the motions but at Fitness Together I feel that I’m getting the attention I need. It’s all done in a private training area just you and your trainer, no need to feel self conscious and no distractions. Not just an out of the box training solution they build you a personalized training program that is specific to your needs that adapts and changes as you get fitter while keeping you challenged. Also they will focus on diet and lifestyle changes. I have learned so much about Health, Nutrition and Exercise in the last 6 weeks than the years I’ve spend at the gym... The trainers are fun and personable but don’t let that fool you they will work you hard and that get results. In just 6 weeks I’m now able do stuff that I’ve not been able to do since I was in high school. I feel fitter I have more energy and I’m off the couch… giving them a try it will be the best decision you will ever make… Pros: one on one training Cons: N/A more

If you are looking for a personal trainer I can't recommend Ed Ferrell of Fitness Together in Temecula, Ca high enough. I'm a 55 year old man who was over weight and out of shape when I started with Ed. After just 35 sessions I lost over 30 lbs and learned how to exercise properly for the first time in my life. I was greeted at each session with an enthusiastic ""Hello how are you doing"" and a big smile. Regardless of your physical condition, Ed will help you set goals and encourage you to meet them. So, if you are serious about getting into better shape give Ed Ferrell a try I promise you won't be disappointed. Pros: Professional, clean, excellent equipment more

I had reached a significant plateau for six months after losing the initial 40 lbs on my own. Fitness Together broke that plateau and it really started coming off quickly! \r \r I am down 16 dress sizes. I am most proud to carry my ""before"" pictures (I never am without them) to encourage others and show people it can be done\r Pros: privacy, clean, professional more
