“GFS is the best thing that could have happened to me! I am a single Mom of four very busy kids. With everything going on with them, and work, I thought going to the gym was just out of the question for me. There was just no time!! But GFS has made it so easy. I now have a family membership, and my kids love it too. I attend the adult classes while my kids are joining in kids yoga, or one of the kids classes that they offer. And, on the days I cant make it to class, I use the fitness equipment, and the kids play on the indoor playground. There is so much flexibility, its perfect for our busy family. Thanks GFS for Everything!”

“I started with Stacey eight weeks ago and I’m impressed with my results so far. I not only see the visual results of more definition in my arms and legs, but my upper body strength has greatly increased. I could barely do 5 push-ups when I started and now I’m doing well over 100. I have much more stamina and energy.
Stacey is very positive, supportive and knowledgeable. She’s designed a program just for me. One that I can stick with, even on my own at home. It’s never boring or monotonous because she’s always got me doing new and different routines. She’s not only a great trainer, but a very warm, caring person. I look forward to our sessions every week.”

“I was one of the first participants in Gorham Fitness Studio's Boot Camp Extreme program, This was an intense 4 week fitness program and it was exactly what I needed to jump start my fitness routine. I could see my strength and endurance improve every week. Both Stacey and Jesse worked hard to keep us motivated throughout the 4 weeks. No class was ever the same and it was great to get outside and utilize the USM campus during our workouts. I highly recommend this session and plan on doing it again in the near future! You really will see a difference! Trust me when I say I was not a person who got up in the morning and went for a run. I never considered myself a runner, but I really feel I have the endurance to start running every morning now!”

“I started training with Stacey 4 weeks ago and I already can feel and see the difference in my body as well as my mindset. I wanted to get in shape for my upcoming wedding, but always felt uncomfortable using the weights at the large gyms. I didn't know proper technique or exercises to do, so I would only do cardio. That has changed 100% since working with Stacey. She has helped give me confidence and is always there to encourage progress and push me to strive harder. She taught me new exercises to shape muscles I didn't know existed! What is so great is that the exercises are straight-forward and you can continue to do it yourself at home or in the gym for added toning and weight loss. My clothes fit better, my body is becoming more toned and my confidence has increased tremendously which helps me to push ever harder. I look forward to meeting with Stacey every week and I know I won't ever leave Gorham Fitness Studio without feeling the burn and sweating off those pounds. I love it!”

“I was injured in a soccer game in early June 2008. I was told I partially tore my MCL on my right knee and that I would not be able to do any exercising for about 8 weeks. After about 8 weeks I started to run a little but it was too painful. With only 2 weeks left before my soccer tryouts for USM and my senior year, I wasn't sure what to do. I signed up for 3 days a week for my final 2 weeks before tryouts at Gorham Fitness Studio. Gorham Fitness Studio helped me strengthen all the muscles around my knee and taught me the correct exercising techniques. Not only was my knee ready for preseason, I didn't have any pain or re-injury since the injury. I was able to play in every game and play to my fullest making cuts and jabs with absolutely no pain. I couldn't believe how quickly it healed. I had tendinitis in my left knee a few years back that I tried to heal in Physical Therapy however it never fully went away until I went to Gorham Fitness Studio. I can't thank you enough for helping me heal so fast and effectively!”

“I am not athletic at all, but since I'm now in my 50s, I know that bone strength, flexibility, and exercise are really important if I want to stay active and mobile as I age. I've tried other gym-type settings, dance classes, and equipment-based centers--all with a rather lackluster effort.
They all felt like "must do" instead of "eager to do." Then a friend encouraged me to try Gorham Fitness Studio. What a difference! The small class is lots of fun, and a good workout,too. Stacey is very kind, upbeat, and changes the routine to keep us interested and lightly challenged. Our laugh muscles always get a good stretch, too! I look forward to each class.”

“I came to Gorham Fitness Studio in October 2008. I met with Stacey who asked me my goals and attentively listened to everything I was hoping to accomplish. My main reason for going at that time was because I am going to be turning 40 in 2009 & was taking a trip to Mexico with my girlfriends in January to kick off our big birthday year! Our goal, we all said the summer before, was to wear a bikini on the beach during that trip! I hadn't been on a regular exercise routine of any kind in some time and had been years since I was on a regular strength training schedule. Stacey & I met an average of 3 times a week for personal training sessions & another 2 days a week for Cardio Club. In that time, Stacey mixed up every session, always keeping me motivated and on track of my goal. Even when I worked out on my own, I heard Stacey's voice in my head urging me to push it!! I was always able to incorporate the things I was shown in the studio into my own workouts. I'm happy to say that on that trip to Mexico, I did wear a bikini! I also wore clothes that were two sizes smaller than last summer! I feel fantastic, I've got great muscle tone & I'm definitely continuing my workouts with Stacey (and Jesse too!) because now it's definitely a part of my life & want to truly show that 40 IS the new 30!”

“I began training with Stacey at GFS last Spring after meeting her at a wellness workshop. I immediately knew that she was someone I would be comfortable training with and signed up. Her fitness philosophy and positive attitude have kept me coming back ever since. The personal training sessions and classes are challenging and fun, and I enjoy the energy of my fellow classmates. As a result of making the commitment to join GFS, I look better and, more importantly, I feel better.”

“I started working with Stacey at Gorham Fitness Studio 4 months ago. When I started I hated to exercise but I wanted to look and feel better. Stacey has helped me so much! When I started I could barely do 5 push ups and now I have more than tripled that number. I feel stronger and no longer hate exercise. The workouts with Stacey are never the same and are challeging without feeling impossible. I would HIGHLY recommend Gorham Fitness Studio.”
