"I think the support is really a testament to the value that Get In Shape for Women offers and the program," she said. "It's a direct reflection of the results, and showing an appreciation for that."

Comments plugging Get In Shape for Women often mentioned the appointments and trainer-to-trainee ratio as elements that added to their experience. 

"Get in Shape for Women worked for me, when no other health club had," wrote a Patch user named Wendy. "The unique combination of appointments with trainers, a well-rounded workout, weigh-ins, nutritional information and group support helped me to "Get in Shape" and stay in shape!"

A Patch reader named Mary said Get In Shape for Women held her accountable when she couldn't do it herself.

"I have lost 42lbs and am back in the size I wore during college," she wrote. "My husband calls me sexy on a daily basis and I feel amazing! I have been to several other gyms and GISFW Lexington was the only one that worked for me. It will be 2 years at the end of July..... And the weight has stayed off due to the work out 'ethic' I gained at GISFW as well as all the nutritional counseling. The trainers there are truly in a league of their own."

The trainers at Fitness Together got a lot of love from the comment section, as well.

"After trying everything possible, I was about to give up on my weight loss goals," wrote a reader named Cassandra. "It wasnt until I stepped into Fitness Together that I realized giving uo was not an option, and I had an exceptional team standing by my side. The trainers at fitness together are the most encouraging, personable, and knowledgable people I have met. I never would have stuck to my program if they weren't there for me!"
