Before
Gina has lost 21+ pounds

I was pleasantly surprised at how these products worked. The 10 Day Cleanse was very mild and I felt so much more energized while using and after using this product. For the first time in years I was not bloated!!! I feel that now, almost 3 months later, I am still reaping the rewards as my energy levels are still higher and I have been able to maintain a weight loss since using this product of about 8 pounds.” Gina K -client @ Albany NY Fitness

” Highly recommended”

My wife and I have been going to Albany NY Fitness since May and it’s been great. I’ve always been athletic but never liked going to the gym…until now! The workouts are challenging and ever-changing, and Al and Chris give you the push you need to get the best out of every exercise. Highly recommended

” I really look forward to going…”

admin — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:23:37 +0000

My daughter gave me a groupon coupon for this place called Albany NY Fitness. Quite honestly I was upset at her for “wasting” her money on something I would never do. I let that coupon almost expire but a dad can’t turn down a gift from his daughter. The first day I met Al I could tell his genuine interest in where I was physically and nutritionally. The first couple of sessions I had my doubts about staying with it but I was feeling better. Fast forward a couple months and it’s something I really look forward to going to, I like the hard work and I appreciate Al and Chris making sure I don’t over do it but also pushing me where they know it’s good for me. They have a great program, the group of people in the class are so much fun and very entertaining. I have a long way to go to get myself back into shape but I can see slow and steady progress. You really do feel like a family and I thank Al for that.

Al – thanks so much. Bill Scaldo

Amazing trainer : Mike davenport
Alan was an excellent trainer for me and also was extremely motivational. He trained me as an athlete and helped me reach peak performance at my sport. Not only did all his knowledge help me to learn about my body and fitness but he also served as an amazing role model for me. He is a great guy, great trainer, and will have a positive influence on anyone’s life.

Balance is Key

admin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:56:36 +0000

Health and wellness is all about BALANCE.

For many people who are concerned about their health and wellness, it is not uncommon to hit a plateau when it working towards fitness goals. If this has happened to you there is a way to blast through it. It’s as simple as finding the balance between fitness and nutrition. Fitness is what makes you healthy and strong. Proper nutrition is what makes you healthy and lean (or what many like to refer to as “thin”).

When it comes to defining proper nutrition there are basic standards that most people can work from. However, each individual has his/her own nutritional needs and the basic nutritional standards must be applied on an individual basis. After all, we are all different. Every person should make it their business to know what their personal nutritional needs. Think about how many songs you know and sing along to daily. How about those sports statistics that get tossed around about batting averages, yards run and free-throw points? We spend so much time learning trivial things that are, in a sense, useless to us in life. Now consider how much time we spend learning fundamental yet vital information that will help us live longer and healthier lives.

Many people don’t know the first thing about their personal nutritional needs or their “nutritional DNA.” You need to stop and learn it; better yet, master it. Balance is key in a well-rounded health and wellness program. If you don’t know how to properly nourish your body, you can’t possibly be completely fit. It’s time to take an interest in and make an investment in your health and in your future. Not only for you, but for your loved ones too.

First thing first, you’ve got to be prepared. Think of the 5 P’s : Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. Go ahead and create your own account on MyFitnessPal.com, friend me by adding my email to the invite section, and start logging what you eat (every little thing, every time!). Together, we can get you on track to a properly balanced health and wellness program.

We also added a group for Albany NY Fitness on myfitnesspal.com

Second, don’t forget this weekend Saturday 18th @11 am we will be having a basic nutritional seminar.

Sign up at the gym or email me.

FIND YOUR BALANCE!

“I would not go to any other gym now after being a part of Albany NY Fitness.” ~Kathy Stanton

admin — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:05:00 +0000

I have been a member @ a “big name gym” in the past. I
would go a couple of times and stopped. There was no motivation, no
encouragement from the staff @ the “big name gym”. I felt very uncomfortable in
the” big name gym” surrounded by people who are used to working out. I felt
like I was being judged because my fitness level was not like everyone else. I
stumbled on Albany NY
Fitness by mistake. I was impressed by the quickness in response that I
received. Once I met with Alan and Chris I was also impressed with their
positive attitude and willingness to work with me. Alan and Chris are both
formally trained and that was important to me. I have been going to Albany NY
Fitness for about one and a half years. I started out @ 3 days a week with one
on one training. I am now doing one on one training 3 days a week and boot camp
2-3 days a week. I am not only physically stronger but mentally stronger. I
believe it is the encouragement I have received from Alan and Chris. I am
healthier now than I have ever been in my life. My “bad” cholesterol is down my
“good” cholesterol is up. I am doing things now that I never thought possible in
the past. I would highly recommend Albany NY Fitness. Alan and Chris motivate
you to believe in yourself, encourage you to do better and there is no judgment
in the gym. They work with you and any limitations that you may have. I would
not go to any other gym now after being a part of Albany NY Fitness. Kathy Stanton
