T3 Fitness-Testimonials

I am currently enrolled in the T3 Express 6-week program. This is actually the second
time that I have done the program and I'm going to sign up for my third time here shortly.
I just love going to T3 two days a week. I actually look forward to the workouts unlike
other work out programs that I've done in the past.

At first I wasn't sure how I would feel about going there. I'm one of those people that
hate working out in front of people. I tried the Curves For Woman program and it did
nothing for me. But the T3 program is such an amazing program it has made me have
confidence in myself which I didn't feel before I started the program. I have seen such
a great improvement in myself my mood has improved and sleeping habits are on their
way to being normal again.

I actually had to go out and by new clothes. I have lost a total of 20 pounds and 7
inches since I started workout out at T3.

I'm so impressed with the program I recommend it to everyone who is trying to make
a change in their life.

Cheers to Brian for coming up with a great program.
Thanks.

Having been a professional ski racer for over 10 years, I have experienced the daily
routines of weight rooms. But since ending my racing career, I have become unmotivated
and bored with my old routines. I needed a push to get my mind and body back in
shape. T3 Fitness' 6-week program immediately got me eating and working out correctly
by providing me with the nutritional and fitness information I needed.

The nutritional information I received and simple meal plans make so much sense.
I no longer go through the day hungry, binge eating or tired. We are always offered
suggestions on what new foods to integrate into my diet. Brian's monthly newsletters are
a constant reminder that this is a lifestyle change, not just a temporary fix.

The exercise programs have proven successful for me. My body feels tighter and my
body image is healthier than ever before. The workouts are innovative; they incorporate
multiple exercises which focus on one muscle group but keep the whole body working
together. And the exercises are easy to remember so I can do them on my own at the
gym.

T3 Fitness professionals are amazing role models and I thank them for the opportunity
to workout in a healthy environment.

"It's the best three hours of my week! T3 Fitness has been the answer for me.
I have been working out on my own for several years...walking, instruction tapes,
TaeBo, etc. and not seeing visible results.

Shortly after beginning my one on one instruction with Brian, I began to see changes
in my body. I actually had muscles in my arms! With credentials like a Masters Degree
in Exercise Science and as a certified trainer, Brian keeps my program interesting and
challenging, never boring and extremely in tune with my health and fitness level.

I haven't quite reached all my personal fitness goals yet, but it's all a matter of time with
Brian and T3 Fitness."

"I'm 70 years old and have been going to T3 Fitness for over two years to build my
physical strength and endurance. As a trainer, Brian Rurak is very knowledgeable,
caring and committed to his profession. I am very pleased with my results and plan
on working with him for the rest of my life!"

~ Joan M.

"Plain and Simply; Brian has a great approach- he has the education and experience to
help anyone out. I went to him with some specific goals which were ambitious and he
was able to help develop a plan that fit my schedule which includes alot of travel. His
approach was simple and pragmatic- never trying to push to hard. His no nonsense
approach allowed him to present me with some options that worked. Most of all what he
taught me was a pragmatic approach to a healthier way of living and exercise that helped
me reach my goals. He never pushed a "diet" or a "school of thought" but just some
proven techniques that get results.

What I learned from him was not just exercise routines but ways to approach fitness and
eating that are totally sustainable- not some fad or crash diet but lessons I can
incorporate into my life to live healthier and be more fit. Bottom line Brian was able to
provide me with the tools to reach my goals. Don't expect him to do the work for you,
but he can sure make it easier."

~Justin S.

"Working with Brian Rurak has been a great experience. While he presents a structured
plan for getting in shape, he is not intimidating at all. His demeanor has been completely
encouraging as he has guided me along the path to physical fitness. I would highly
recommend his services to anyone at any fitness level. I have never not felt great after
a session with Brian."

~Ron A.

"I have belonged to many health clubs, but my pattern was always the same. I would
join and for the first month be enthusiastic about getting in shape, then I would get bored
and quit. I would become discouraged because I did not enjoy working out and I never
saw any results. About 6 months ago I decided to give working out another try. This
time I did something different. Instead of spending the money to join a club for a year
when I would most likely quit within the first month I opted to call a personal trainer. If
a hated it, I would not be obliged to a contract.

That was 6 months ago and when I say T3 fitness changed my life I really mean it!
Within the first month of training with Brian I went from a size 10 to a size 8. I felt so
proud of myself and so healthy I went from two training sessions a week to three.

Brian slowly but consistently encouraged me to add some aerobic activities to my daily
life and he also helped me with my diet. It did not happen over night but I went from
hating working out to being a workout goddess! For the first time ever I not only enjoy
working out, but I look forward to my training sessions. T3 has made working out fun,
challenging and rewarding. I am now a size 4, I eat healthy foods (AND A LOT OF
FOOD) and I am training for a 5K. I am a new person from the inside out and all I
really did was show up! I am not saying it was easy but the staff at T3 made it fun.
It cracks me up when I think only 6 months ago I could not run a block without
gasping for air nor could I do one push up. Now thanks to T3 I can run 3 miles without
stopping and do 25 man push ups in a row plus my body looks toned and I feel beautiful.

If someone would have told me a year ago that I was going to become a workout
warrior I would have laughed. The only exercise I was getting was walking to the
Newport Creamery for ice cream. T3 gave me a love for working out and the discipline
followed. Most importantly, I think feeling good about yourself is something you cannot
put a price on. With the encouragement of my friends at T3 there isn't day I am not
proud of the things we have accomplished together.

I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of using a personal trainer to give Brian a
call. Take the one month challenge! I guarantee you will see results and T3 will make
working out something you will want to do for the rest of your life."

~Collette S.

It started off as a way to have my almost 60 year old husband commit to exercise.
I knew (because it's easier to see solutions to other people's problems) that he needed
a partner (me) to be on his way to excellent health. What I didn't realize was the
enormous benefit to me.

Oprah says that the biggest challenge to weight loss/maintenance is putting yourself first.
I'm on my way and T3 express workouts is the impetus. Our class is a nice mix. Not all
20 something hot bodies getting hotter, but a range of 20's to late 50's some somewhat
out of shape to those of us (me especially) very out of shape.

The results for me after 3 weeks--"sign me up for another session." Kind of cryptic, but
I mean I saw differences in 3 weeks: better sleep, more stamina, glowing skin, stronger
muscles. The last 3 weeks will show more improvements and a second 6 weeks session
even more.

Do this class-you won't regret it!

~Karen S.

I've always been the kind of person who could find a million excuses why I couldn't
exercise. "It's too hot, cold, late, early or I'll do it tomorrow." If I really tried I could
keep up a new exercise routine for about 3 weeks before the excuses started again.
I thought the T3 express workouts would force me to workout because I was paying
for it…but after starting it does more than that.

I love going! The routines are always so varied, I am never bored. I look forward to
what will be thrown at us next. The results were almost immediate; I sleep better and
my mood improved. My clothes keep getting looser. It's the fourth week and I think
I have to start looking for a smaller pants size. They say that major physical changes
happen in about 8 weeks. I had to sign up for another session of express workouts to
see but I feel a major change already!

This program has helped me a lot these past few weeks. It has helped me maintain a
great exercise schedule. The program has also helped me to keep a balanced diet and
more importantly a healthy diet.

Combining a healthy and well balance diet and regular exercise is a fantastic way to lose
weight. I am losing weight at a steady pace which is very healthy. My favorite thing about
this program is that everything is done in a healthy way, ensuring the client their safety.

I am glad I enrolled in this program. Like they always say, "It pays for itself." Losing 10
pounds in about four to five weeks is an example of how this program pays for itself and
keeps it's clients in a healthy state.

I started at T3 Fitness about 2-1/2 years ago through the recommendation of a friend.
I've always been athletic and love sports but as I moved into my forties and work took
up more time, some of my activities fell by the wayside and though I hadn't yet gained
middle age fat and lost total fitness I just didn't feel strong. Old injuries were flaring up
and I was beginning to feel my age.

After a few weeks working with Brian one on one I started to notice subtle but
significant differences. I was standing taller and my posture was better. I was enjoying
the way my body felt. And several months later I noticed it was starting to look better
too, which is a surprise when you are in your later 40s. Encouraged by new found
confidence in my body I bought a road bike and starting cycling a lot of miles per week.
Combined with the twice weekly T3 workout's, I was fitter than I had been since my
early thirties. I started surfing. Then I started mountain biking. And then I started running
again which I hadn't been able to do for years. And my metabolism changed completely.
Food is something I have always enjoyed and now I worry about not eating enough!

As a women we worry about what our bodies look like too much while we are growing
up. Now I am comfortable in a bikini at the beach. I have never felt better. The best
thing is that I feel that my core is strong and because of that my whole body feels like it is
working for me and anything is possible; I can take any challenge on and know that I am
likely not to injure myself.

Working out at T3 all the trainers know you and take an interest in your progress. And
your program is very much individual and tailored to your goals very specifically, and it
never gets boring. There is always a new challenge, a new twist.

So at 49 I find myself planning on participating in an Olympic length triathlon to celebrate
turning 50 and feeling terrific. How cool is that?!

Brian, thanks so much for the thoughtful book and good wishes on my 60th birthday.
You asked me did I feel any different from 59 and as I began telling you how I felt it
dawned on me that I feel great, better than in a long time.

I have been coming to T3 Fitness for only 3 months but what a difference in me.
Many things are different, I stand up straight, I am very limber, can bend and stoop
without thinking about it and I have so much more energy. I have not been involved
with exercise most of my life but cannot imagine giving it up now or ever, thanks to
you and Melissa and Tom. I am genuinely looking forward to a lifetime of fitness.

"My name is James Thompson and I have been a client of Brian Rurak's at T3 Fitness
for about three months. In that short time I have managed to completely change my life
for the better.

When I meet with Brian twice a week at his studio, not only do I get a serious workout
in a safe and open environment, I always walk away a little more aware of how I can
better myself through things like my diet, exercise or even just being more aware of my
lifestyle choices. I always feel invigorated when I leave T3 Fitness.

In these few short months, I have noticed a positive difference in myself. My family and
friends have noticed it also. I look better and feel better about myself. I have more energy
and more confidence. The staff is friendly, professional and never judgmental. You are
continually motivated to work at your own pace.

The lessons you learn in the studio can be carried out with you and applied to your
everyday living. T3 Fitness is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would
absolutely recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting in shape and living a
healthier life."

I came to T3 Fitness 10 months ago with neck, back, knee & elbow pain. I had not
exercised in 5 years and had little energy. One of my goals was to start backpacking
again, but carrying a pack for just a few hours made my back sore for days. Tom, my
trainer developed a workout program that focused on relieving my pain and improving
my strength, cardiovascular fitness and balance.

This summer, I took three backpacking trips and experienced a phenomenal improvement.
Trips that were rated as "strenuous" were easy for me. My joint pain disappeared and at
the end of a day of hiking, I felt like hiking more rather than collapsing in a heap.

Early this summer, after a long day on the trail, I twisted my ankle. The next day at T3
I asked Tom to add ankle strengthening exercise to my program and I noticed
improvements immediately.

I'm now in better shape than I have ever been and cannot thank T3 Fitness enough for all
that they have done.
