"This place has changed my life!! After I had my baby I was out of shape and had no idea how to get started again. I contacted Colin and Barbara and explained my situation. They were great!! I was really nervous coming in but they made me feel great! I wasn't intimidated at all-the entire staff is friendly and encouraging. I have told a lot of friends about this place and how amazing it is! I have 100 pounds to lose after my baby and I know with their help I will get it off. This is the best gym ever!! Thanks guys!"

"I just wanted to send you guys a quick note to say thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me so far. You guys have given me back my confidence. For the first time in a long time I got dressed today and actually looked in the mirror and felt good about myself. That is a huge gift. I told Eric the other day that I look forward to going to the gym. He almost fell off his chair. I used to dread it!!! I would think of every excuse I could to get out of going and now it is a treat. The atmosphere you have in your gym is something that the Goodlifes and the World Healths etc. will never have. You guys care about every single person in that gym of yours and it shows. I know this message is a little sappy, but everyone needs a warm fuzzy now and then. Give yourselves a great big hug for me....and Billy too because I think he is pretty great too....even if he tries to trick me into doing extra reps."

"I just wanted to pass on my comments on my personal training experience at Hards-Way. I cam to Hards-Way because I feel that I have been working out on my own, with minimal results. I needed the extra boost, before I move on to RCMP training depot. I am extremely pleased with my results that we have achieved in one month. I have been able to drop from 20.5% to 17% body fat and have started to lose inches plus strengthen. Barbara is very knowledgeable. She created a diet and workout plan to suit my fitness needs and goals. Barbara has been very motivational throughout my training, which keeps me coming back. I would recommend Barbara, Colin and team to anyone who is looking for an atmosphere that is comfortable, positive and if your searching for great results. Thank you Hards-Way for getting me on the right path."

"I would like to thank you for all the encouragement you have offered me. If it was not for your hard work and training you gave me, I do not think I would have made it this far. You really prepared me for all the obstacle that I would face physically in training. I have finally done it...I just wanted to thank you for preparing me......I will stop in for a few drop in work outs before I head out to my posting in Gimli, Manitoba this week."

NATALIE SAYS:

"Hards-Way is a great facility where there is always an atmosphere of encouragement. The trainers set programs and goals which are challenging, but also achievable. Rarely have I left the facility without hearing 'You're doing good,' 'Good work,' or 'You're looking good.' It is this 'you can do it' environment which has allowed me to achieve my goals. There is still work to do but some of the great things I have achieved are:

• Smaller, tighter, higher butt!
• I can keep up with my 5 year old without fear of a heart attack
• I can lay on a beach for a week and not spend the entire time worrying about how enormous I look in a bathing suit
• I occasionaly eat dessert without having to starve myself for a week
• Definition in the chest means no more 'uni-boob'
• I don't get winded climbing stairs
• Increased self-confidence
• Reduction in the visibility of cellulite
• I have twice the energy I had before I started
• .......did I mention the reduction of my ass?"

ALEXIS C. SAYS:

"Hards-Way has provided me with a program and a place that I feel had proved to be extremely successful. The atmosphere and environment that the gym offers is very inviting and comfortable, yet at the same time very professional. The personal training programs that Colin and Barbara chose for me were very realistic and achievable. Through their continuous monitoring and encouragement I feel I have managed to meet my expectations for my own personal physical well being. My overall experience at Hards-Way has been positive, successful and rewarding."

ROBIN L. SAYS:

"If you have trained on your own and think you are doing it right you are wrong. I did for 5 years before Hards-Way. I have chronic arthritis and need to keep moving so I exercise as much as possible. For five years I have ok results but not amazing results. August 2005 I started training with Colin and in seven months I went from a 30% body fat to 12%!! I feel great and my arthritis does not bother me as much! I am 40 and I am in the best shape of my life. I love the HARDS WAY!"

JANICE B. SAYS:

"Thanks for creating an effective program and diet that helped me lose ten pounds in just one month! After just having my second baby three months ago, I was nervous that my weight gain would take close to a year to lose, but your program of cardio and weights accelerated the process tremendously. I am very impressed by the motivation all of your staff members offer; they are friendly, courteous and helpful. I really enjoyed the very personal care you provide. You always say a friendly 'Hello' at the door, if I'm doing an exercise improperly you take the time to help me improve my focus and you genuinely ask me how my workouts are going. I also appreciate how clean the equipment and gym are kept. I have highly recommended Hards-Way to the many people who have commented on my weight loss. It truly is a dietary, physical and mental program that delivers outstanding results!"
