"I've been coming to BodyQuest for nearly a year and a half now, and I'm really pleased with the results. I've been able to increase my strength in the various muscle groups by an average of over 60%. The trainers are great, they always push me beyond what I think I am capable of, but they also know my ultimate limits. I really enjoy the one-on-one personal attention; it is results-driven with a high level of encouragement and focus.

The workouts are very intense, but at 30 minutes in length they're over quickly, it's a very efficient workout for my entire body.

I feel better, people tell me I look better, and it has really helped me better handle the stress associated with a fast-paced corporate job.

It's really the first workout program that I have been able to commit to over the long-term. I like that the sessions are already on the calendar and pre-paid, that way I'm much less likely to find a reason to not come on any given day. Like so many things, it's the personal relationships that make a customer happy. Thanks to you guys, I plan to keep coming to BodyQuest for a long time."

"I read an article regarding slow-intensity training and was impressed by the results that could be achieved in so little time. Therefore, I was very excited when I read that Body Quest was opening in Solana Beach and was offering this new idea in exercise. The thought that just two short workouts per week could get me back into shape was ideal for me. There finally was a program that I felt I could commit to and that didn't have to take over my life.

Once I started, I really liked having a trainer with me for every session. I enjoy the privacy provided by having the whole room to my trainer and me. The one-on-one system insures that no time is wasted and that I get the maximum benefit from each session. The trainers ensure that my form stays correct and they push me far beyond what I would do on my own. This has given me the results I had been looking for without exercise being my primary focus.

My arms had developed a lot of wrinkles from years of exposure to the sun and the loss of muscle tone. As a result of the bicep and triceps exercises, my skin started to smooth out as the fat was replaced by muscle.

I like that the exercise room is kept very cool because I don't sweat like I would at a gym. I often can stay out after my session and do errands and go to appointments since I can wear clothing suitable for both activities. The workouts are hard but I know that there is nothing I could do once a week and still maintain my muscle strength and body tone.

I am 65 years old and have been exercising with Body Quest for 18 months. This program is a miracle for me because of the small time commitment and the good results I have achieved. I couldn't do it without the dedication, encouragement, and enthusiastic support of my trainers.

I am so happy with this whole part of my life. I have maintained a consistent weight throughout this time and I have rid myself of all guilt feelings concerning exercise. How freeing is that?"

"BodyQuest Fitness is fantastic because it takes so little time (I go once a week for about 30 minutes) and it helps me to build and maintain muscle mass. Since I am not a huge lover of exercise and have minimal time to commit to staying in shape, Slow-Intensity training is a great program because I can stick with it (anyone can exercise once a week) and more importantly, you get measurable results without injury, which is especially important for older clients (I'm 59).

I have always had trouble maintaining my weight (it fluctuates wildly) but since starting the BodyQuest program my weight has remained steady and I have more energy than before. I have been going to BodyQuest for 18 months and have experienced increases in strength in some areas of my body of over 80%. Overall, I would say my level of fitness has increased dramatically since I started training at BodyQuest Fitness.

Your trainers are wonderful and they know exactly how hard to push you to get maximum results. They are true fitness professionals. One-on-one training is much more effective than going to a gym full of people and far less intimidating plus you get far more out of your time invested when working with a knowledgeable trainer as opposed to going to it on your own. I recommend BodyQuest Fitness to anyone who wants to get in shape, stay there and stick with a fitness program, all with minimal time commitments."

Why I love BodyQuest Fitness:

1. It makes me feel good! In just a half an hour, I feel that I have worked out my entire body and when I walk out the door, I feel like I used to after an hour and a half of ballet class.

2. I look better! I have lost inches where it matters - my "fat" pants are folded up and put away and my middle aged "middle" rolls are much reduced.

3. I am loosing weight! With a combination of slow-intensity and healthy eating, not crazy diet plans or starving, I have lost 15 lbs.

4. I am sleeping better and have more energy! A good complete workout makes me feel better all over and gives me more energy for all the other activities of my day so that I am ready for - and get - a good night's sleep.

"The best thing about this workout is all I have to do is show up! I don't have to think about what exercises or machines I have to do. Everything is all planned out ahead of time. I'm guided along and encouraged to max out with each exercise. By the end of the session, I'm quivering all over. There is no doubt that I have worked all the major muscle groups of my body. The report cards (progress sheets) show me just how far I have come and give me motivation to keep going.

I started this program because I got out of my normal exercise routing as a result of some minor health issues and time constraints from all of life's daily demands. I had gained weight because of lack of exercise and the menopause monster and just felt that I needed help to get back on track.

I keep coming because I love the results AND it's fun! The trainers are personable and engaging and don't let me loose my focus. They work really hard to tailor the program to my goals and abilities."

"In April of 2006 my wife showed me an advertisement from BodyQuest Fitness highlighting the philosophy and benefits of slow-intensity weight training. I had been lifting weights for many years and was a Master Sergeant in the Marines for over 20 years - so I was VERY skeptical of the claims made in the ad. I went for a consultation and introduction session and I signed up for 10 sessions with my skepticism in tact. That was 16 months ago, and I must say that this workout is the most efficient means of building lean muscle mass that I have ever experienced. I have built lean muscle mass, gained a tremendous amount of strength and lost approximately 8% body fat. I am a firm believer in BodyQuest and the slow-intensity method!"

"I never liked calisthenics or working out in general, so I never could stay on a self-administered workout program. The tennis I played and limited work around the house kept me in reasonable, but certainly not good shape. Also, I had always been physically strong. Unfortunately, over the past 10 years my strength gradually diminished and I was quite discouraged by how weak I had become.

Luckily, my wife talked me into joining BodyQuest. I was swayed by the promise of just two half-hour sessions per week, and by the emphasis on strength training and other methods used by the trainers. I felt a rapid increase in my strength and endurance, and I now feel as strong as I did many years ago. Also, I was eventually able to reduce my commitment to once per week and I haven't lost any of my gains. In fact, the regular progress reports prepared by BodyQuest show that I continue to increase in some areas. For someone who doesn't like exercising this has been extremely worthwhile and I would highly recommend this program to others."

"I began training at BodyQuest in May 2006. I LOVE what it has done for my body. My friends and family noticed right away the definition on my arms, shoulders and back. The training has revved up my metabolism, tightened and toned my backside and given me strength and confidence beyond my wildest expectations. I am truly a believer and addicted to this method of training, as it is both effective and efficient in terms of time spent."

"I came to BodyQuest because I felt like my body wasn't changing with all the activities I was doing. I was a competitive runner all through high school and in college I ran marathons. I felt I was fit enough to do anything I attempted; weight lifting, cycling, running, climbing, and yet I was unhappy with my body size and shape. Within weeks of training at BodyQuest, I felt stronger than ever and my shape changed dramatically. I shaved inches off my hips, thighs and waist - something I had never been able to do before with any other exercise."

"I have tried every form of aerobics imaginable with little or no results and I hated the thought of trying to lift weights in a crowded gym. I never could have thought that 30 minutes twice a week could do so much for my body. The one-on-one personal attention is ideal. I have more energy, my clothes fit better and I am losing inches and pounds all over my body!"

"I have been weight training my whole life and thought I knew it all, but BodyQuest opened my eyes to a whole new way to increase muscle mass and boost my metabolism. My muscles work harder, I see greater strength gains, and my body feels and looks better than it has in years."

"Prior to my back surgery I enjoyed outdoor activities like rock climbing, mountain biking, surfing and snowboarding. I never thought I would do any of that again once I began to recover. Fortunately, the Nautilus equipment isolates the muscles really well and stabilizes the rest of my body during each exercise. The slow movements allowed me to thoroughly work my muscles in the safest way imaginable. Now I am back to enjoying my life again!"

"I came to BodyQuest wanting to increase my bone density and overall strength to make daily activities a little easier. I had never lifted a weight in my life, but BodyQuest made it simple and helped me through each exercise with great patience and personal attention."
