Since starting workouts with Ruth, my body feels better, my energy is up. I actually look forward to my workout! Thank you Ruth for helping me to feel like myself again. Lillian Lagazzo
I started working out with RuthFitness in order to regain my strength, toning and conditioning, which had been sorely missing since my daughter was born. Ruth's creativity and flexibility are amazing. We workout in the gym, at my home, or in the playground, when I don't have a babysitter. I feel great after my workout and love that my daughter sees how important it is to exercise. Sarah Baxter, 29.
I have been overweight for the majority of my life. I have always thought it was food that was the cause. I would go on diets and workout to supplement the diet. Once I lost the weight, I would stop working out and would go back to my poor eating habits. After about 30 years of this, I figured that I needed a new approach.
My husband loves to ride bikes and he has been talking a lot about bike vacations. It sounded like fun, but I knew that I was in no shape to complete anything like this. I searched the Internet for a personal trainer, and Ruth sent me an audio file of when she appeared on a radio show about fitness. I like what she had to say and that she had worked with middle-age folks. When we met, I liked that Ruth was in shape, that she was not intimidating, that she was not intimidated by me. We set goals at first and we revisit them and adjust as needed. I took that bike vacation with my husband, and it challenged me, but did not overwhelm me. And yes, I have dropped pounds and inches! In the past I made that my focus. With Ruth's help, I am making continuing activity and fun and staying healthy and fit my goals and my focus. Dot DeAngelo.
I worked with Ruth for a few months, and then got incredibly busy at work. After a one-year hiatus, I decided to go back to Ruth Fitness because I found that Ruth pushes me to work harder, lift more weights, with less rest, than I do on my own. Ruth's workouts are specialized for me and different every day, and she challenges me to push myself even when I'm stressed at work, or tired, or both, in order to attain my strength, fitness and weight loss goals. Amy O'Dowd, 50s
Since engaging Ruth Sacks Marlin as my personal trainer, I feel so much stronger and have so much more energy. I have noticed so many other changes that I can attribute to training with Ruth. I go days without turning on the television. I am even on my laptop less. The mindless non-moving activities are no longer needed. Comforting myself with food is no longer necessary. D.D.
The famous ad campaign says, "Just Do It". That's right, but it's just not easy to start or keep it going! I valued Ruth's getting to know my goals up front and tailoring my workouts to help me achieve them. It was encouraging to learn how to do an exercise properly and to have Ruth modify others until I was strong enough push them harder. Her good-natured drive and energy to succeed (not to mention her showing up at my door) got me going and got me results. I've moved from the nagging thought that I should "just do it" to "Wahoo -- I AM doing it!" Guess I'm not one of those folks who can achieve their exercise goals on their own; but, i was smart enough to find Ruth, a great resource to help me. Thank you, Ruth, for turning my goals into a reality! (P.S. My husband thanks you too!) Irene Gryziec
After 5 months of being sidelined with a painful injury from a bad fall while on a morning run, I was able to run 1 mile today without pain. I can only thank Ruth for this. I was told no running by my doctor, so I began a program with Ruth to build my strength and flexibility to keep me healthy. Ruth has not only been a terrific trainer but a caring human being with only my interests at heart. All of our workouts are for my benefit only. I may be back to road racing, but I am not stopping my training program with Ruth. Without her I never could have gotten through this. Donna Johnson
For the first time in my 64 years, I look forward to working out. Because it's not work! Ruth makes it fun and different every session. We talk and I somehow find myself doing things I could never do before, and enjoy doing them! "I enjoy working out" is not a sentence I've ever uttered before, but it's part of my vocabulary now. Unfortunately, I'm moving out of state and don't know how I'll get by without Ruth to encourage me, help me, and altogether improve my life. Beth Abott
