Testimonials

The sign caught my attention - "Results in just 20 minutes, 2 times a week" - yeah right! I said out loud. I kept reading and was amazed by the logic, common sense, and methodology that was presented. Four years later I'm writing this testimonial to tell you IT WORKS. I've tried typical weight lifting as a complement to running and biking but the results were minimal at best. With Ultimate Fitness middle aged men like me really benefit. The gradual, consistent and measurable improvements keep you coming back for more. Furthermore, the reduced fat and increased muscle mass that I've been able to achieve, have improved my running and biking (not to mention smaller pants size). You should definitely consider joining Ultimate Fitness, cross training with "Superslow" as way to increase strength and muscle tone is the way to go.

My back pain is completely gone. In 5 months I have doubled my strength. It's a complete workout in only 20 minutes. I highly recommend Ultimate Fitness. I don't know how anybody over the age of 50 can get by without working out for 20 minutes a week.

Ultimate Fitness has really made a huge difference in my life. I love going to work out there and they have a great staff. It has changed my body significantly. Not only am I much stronger, but I am stronger looking as well. It has given me confidence in physical activities and I do well in them also. Every time I go to work out there with my great instructor Sara, she has something fun to do. Ultimate Fitness makes it fun to workout. Also, in my spare time, I enjoy doing physical activities much more than I did before I started the program. I am very glad I get to continue going. My dad and I both go and we both love it.

Earlier this year my wife made me check out Ultimate Fitness because I was a 200lb weakling and could never stick to an exercise program. Here it is six months later and I’m 200lb hunk! Well, maybe not a hunk, but I sure feel better and stronger and it has been so easy to keep up my training. Every time I feel like copping out, I think of Carl there waiting for me and I just know I can't let him down. It is so easy to make time for two twenty-minute workouts a week. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Selecting Ultimate Fitness has been one of the best choices I’ve ever made. This gym has it all, state of the art equipment and friendly highly qualified trainers. My two twenty minute slow motion training sessions a week have my body feeling and looking as good as it did twenty years ago. Adding to this great workout, a one-hour private Pilates session a week is the icing on the cake. I feel fabulous! Thanks Sara and Elena.

I have been working with the slow-mo program for quite awhile now and it has helped me keep in shape and maintain a level of strength and power that I have not had since I was younger. If you are over 50, you cannot afford to not do something like this, and with a time commitment of only 20 minutes per session it can't get any easier. I have found that I am now prepared to do activities like mountain biking and snowboarding and various construction activities without the associated "aches and pains" that used to go along with them.

I am a resident of Mill Valley, a mother of four children (ages 8 to 16), and a local school teacher. I have been enjoying the health benefits of the super slow weight training program at Ultimate Fitness for the past five years. I began working with Sara Ellis with the objective of building strength and raising my energy level to meet the demands of my daily routine. Through the program at Ultimate Fitness and the guidance of Sara, I have been able to reach and even surpass my initial goals. Sara is genuinely concerned with helping each client meet their personal fitness goals. She is a highly knowledgable and caring individual and it has been a priveledge to have had the opportunity to work with her.

My name is Carl Otto. I am 56 years old and I am a physician at CPMC in San Francisco. I have three kids, all of whom play multiple sports on multiple teams. My busy work and family schedule doesn't really leave me time to go to the gym for the usual workouts that would last an hour or more, two or more times a week. I was initially intrigued with Ultimate Fitness when I read the article on slow weight training while passing by their window. Most of my free time was taken up with running or biking. I was initially skeptical but decided to give it a try since it seemed to be an efficient use of time. Even I was able to find 20 minutes twice a week! Slow weight training at Ultimate Fitness has exceeded all of my expectations. Over the last two years I have steadily gained strength and lost weight with a very efficient use of my time. I am able to keep up my cardiovascular training and gain strength without any loss of precious family time. Although I don't yet look like the Governator, the change in my physique has been noticeable. The increase in my core strength and leg strength has made a huge difference in my cycling. Best of all, my 11 year old twin boys think I'm "buff!" Sara, Cindy, Carl and Elena are all enthusiastic and energetic and really pump you up during the workouts. They are great at watching your form to keep you safe on the equipment. They go all out to make your experience at Ultimate Fitness positive and worthwhile. If you are looking for an efficient way to improve your body, you can't go wrong by starting at Ultimate Fitness.

I came into Ultimate Fitness out of shape with little energy after Knee Surgery and Cervical issues and wanted One-on-One Training to prevent further injury and the Slow Motion 20 minute Strength Training attracted my attention with my busy work schedule. Now 2 years later and 61, I can not believe the Strength and Energy I have. Sara and her Staff are Wonderful/Supportive/Professional making SlowMo Training fun and very attentive to my personal issues. Spinning classes are Awsome and Energizing and Pilates just compliments it all. Instead of making excuses not to go for a workout I actually look forward to my next appointment at Ultimate Fitness. I can't thank them enough.
