I was told by my doctor that if I did not due something about my heath that my health was going to do something about me. I have several major medical issues with my back and heart, so I shopped around extensively to find a trainer that I felt had the knowledge to properly and safely help me. I had never been very active so I was nervous. I did not feel comfortable with the trainers at my gym, so I went to the independents. After interviewing 5 other trainers, and hearing about 'tough training' (did I mention my heart problems?), odd diets (seriously someone told me that I wanted something sweet I should put the sweet in my mouth, chew it then take it out of your mouth so you get the sweet but not the calories), and how I should put more muscle on my body to loose weight, I found Avatar. Eric put me right at ease with common sense and the knowledge to back it up.
I have now been at Avatar for over a year and have lost most of the weight but in a safe fashion. My Doctor is quite happy. I also am more flexible and more aware of my body (this is something that they always talk about). I have worked with all the trainers at Avatar and they all have taught me so much and care about my health not just my goals.
Funny, when I told my doctor that I was working out at Avatar, he mentioned that he had heard good things about the place and would have referred me there had I asked him for a place to start. It could have saved me the time!
I can not give enough praise for this place.
Pros: Skill and Staff, flexible hours
