The Center
for Health, Fitness & Sports Performance
Four months ago I visited The Center for the first time during their open house. My goal was to find a gym where I could be comfortable working towards my goal of losing the weight I had gained over the last few years. I visited four gyms that day and felt the best connection with The Center. The following Monday I came in for my 10 day free trial and I did the first real exercise I had done in 3 years. Everyone was encouraging and supportive. I passed my first hurdle when I came back the next day. The great thing was that the staff noticed and made me feel like I had really accomplished something.
The next step was to start working with one of the trainers. I was matched with Tracy Knapp. Tracy took the time to assess my abilities and listen to my goals and then kicked my butt. We've been working together now for three months. Tracy has challenged me every step of the way. Working with her is the best part of my fitness routine. In three months, I've gotten stronger than I ever thought possible. The exercises vary each session and I'm always amazed when our 45 minutes is up.
I'm pleased to report that after 4 months of working out at The Center, I've lost 54 pounds and four sizes. The staff and regulars have cheered me on the entire way. I've never been to a fitness center that has been more like a group of friends or family. I would recommend The Center to anyone.

I have been working out at The Center for a couple weeks and (now) wonder what took me so long to join! After meeting with Holly and Jimmy to tour The Center and discuss goals, respectively, I began a free 10-day trial membership. During that time, Jimmy and Jakkie created a workout program based on my goals: upper body toning and overall definition. Within the 10-day trial, I lost 8 pounds and began to see and feel the difference immediately. I’m happy to say the positive results have continued with each week.
I highly recommend The Center. Josh and his team are knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly. They ensure the environment is built for success – your success!

I am 85 years old and have been at the The Center for Health & Fitness for just over one year going about 3 days a week. Among several benefits like flexibility & balance, I have also found it has helped my golf game a great deal. My handicap has dropped from 26 to 19 in the last 6 months, and I have added about 15 yard longer off the tee.

While I was recovering from brain surgery last summer 2010, I was scheduled to visit Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for the winter months, which we have done for 10 + years.
My Goal was to improve balance, flexibility, and strength, all of which suffered significantly as a result of the surgery. I worked closely with owner Josh Itkor twice a week for three months and the results were tremendous! I also found Josh to be very knowledgeable, sensitive to my limitations, but focused on my goals. I would recommend him with no hesitations.
