Hillary Hueter - 2012
"I had gotten out of shape and needed something to kickstart my weight loss. Traditional gyms had never worked, because they are intimidating if you don't really know what to do. . . .
. . . It's been great so far, and I look forward to continued success with BeFit."
Donna Thomas - 2012
"Many many times in my life I have worked with a personal trainer, joined a gym, bought exercise equipment and workout DVD’s. All with the best of intentions…to finally once and for all get into the best shape possible.
But inevitably I get discouraged . . .
. . . It will be the best decision you will ever make!"
Marcus Milling - 2011
"My wife Melissa found BeFit a couple of years ago, and has been trying to get me to give their training methods a try ever since. I was somewhat skeptical, and stuck in my old groove of heavy weightlifting and running, . . .
. . . I may sound like a silly commercial, but it is true - I feel like BeFit has turned my age clock back 15 years!"
Kymberli Parker - 2011
"The highest form of flattery would be to be asked by a friend to write a bit about yourself. Well I truly believe that statement is true...except when it comes to discussing weight. BUT HERE IT GOES. . . .
. . . Rhonda, I love you! Thank you! And yes, I am brave enough to post a photo of me in the dress at my best friend's wedding...I have to say....I looked GOOD!!!!”
Megan Beauvias - 2011
“Wow! How time flies when you are having fun! BeFit has changed my life in so many ways! Growing up, exercise was never a part of my daily routine. I was never involved in any team or individual sports, so when my friend invited me to join the boot camp with BeFit almost 3 years ago, I knew I had an up hill battle. . . .
. . . Thanks for all your kindness, support, and help in keeping me strong and fit!”
Stacy Buhbe - 2011
"I'll never forget my first BeFit Bootcamp class. A friend of mine suggested I try it, and I thought, ‘Sure, I'll try anything once.’ . . .
. . . I'm genuinely grateful to all of my partners in health and exercise: Leahna and Rhonda, my Bootcamp Girls, my Circuit buddies and my dog...who can barely keep up with me now. Thanks you guys, for helping me realize just how strong I can be!"
Erin (Hauser) Sanabria - 2010
“I became a BeFit 'addict' in January of this year. My fiance, Gerry Sanabria (who was BeFit client of the month in August), and I were looking to get "hot wedding bodies" and had heard of BeFitLifestyle through Team in Training. We made a consultation appointment with Leahna and the rest is history . . .
. . . Thank you Leahna and Rhonda! I LOVE BEFIT!"
Kathleen DiMasi - 2010
“Time after time I have said I really am seriously going to do something about the way I feel and look. Seriously. This time. Really. But then, gosh, one thing would lead to another and congratulations to me I have now gained even more weight! . . .
. . . And, my last and most important lesson is that listening to Rhonda and doing what she tells you to do turns the experience from something I was very fearful of to 2 of my favorite hours of the week! Really."
Gerry Sanabria - 2010
"In February 2010 I decided I needed a jumpstart and gave BeFit a call. A super cheery and energetic Leahna met with me, introduced me to the studio and helped identify my goals. I told Leahna I was wanted to loose 10-15 pounds, drop my body fat into the low teens and most importantly achieving improved race performances. . . .
. . . Thanks so much Leahna for helping me become a "lean mean running machine!!"
Mark Jackson - 2010
"I have been a very satisfied client of BeFit for over three years. Under the guidance of my trainer, Mike Banta, I have enormously improved my fitness level.
. . . I look forward to continued progress as a committed BeFit client."
Kara and Jackie - 2009
"I [Jackie] found BeFitLifestyle (May 2009) through the recommendation of a friend, and I'm very thankful for that recommendation! I know it's a cliche, but I was seriously stuck in an unhealthy rut. A typical day for me went: work, couch, TV, popcorn, bed. . . .
. . . As Bob Wiley from one of my favorite movies, What about Bob, would say, 'Baby steps!'"
Cindy Erdman - 2009

Beverly Hudson - 2009
"I have been training with Rhonda for the last eight years. Over the last two years I have gained weight and always said "tomorrow I'll start my diet". Needless to say, tomorrow never came. . .
. . . Rhonda has been most supportive during this time and it was greatly appreciated!!”
Michele Peters - 2005 and 2009
"October 2009 will mark my five year anniversary of being a client at BeFitLifestyle. What a great five years it has been! . . .
. . . It's comforting to have Rhonda's guidance and gentle reminders to listen to my body so I can enjoy a lifetime of health and fitness. I know with her and the BeFit team in my corner, I will be able to do just that and I'm looking forward to it!! Thank you Rhonda!"
Kat Hamberg - 2009
"I have been training with Leahna for the past five months and this is the first time I have ever had a personal trainer make such a difference in the way I look and feel. . . .
. . . My friends and family have noticed the change in my appearance as well, when they ask what I am doing, I tell them about my personal trainer, Leahna. SHE IS THE BEST!!!"
Deborah and Christine - 2009
"It's Mom's fault, that's our story and we're sticking to it. Our love of chocolate and coffee began in the womb! . . .
. . . Christine and I owe a great thank you to our supportive husbands who gave up some of their favorite foods and also lost weight. Rhonda and Rosanna, thanks for the support and email info throughout the program. It works!"
Lisa Penwell - 2009
"After years of talking about getting on a regular workout schedule and failing every time, I finally feel like I have a routine and look forward to working out or at least doing something active each day. . . .
. . . Now, I plan my workout and figure out how I will need to make it happen rather than making excuses why I cant get up and go to the gym or bootcamp. There are no more excuses."
Sherri Pouyadou - 2009
"I have always led an active lifestyle but only got into long distance running in the last few years. Long distance for me was a 10K - with a 1/2 marathon run integrated in my program sporadically. . . .
. . . It will be interesting comparing the data and see what my 'coach' thinks of me now. Thanks both to Kristi and Rhonda for being so supportive in my marathon endeavor!"
Todd Gudat - 2009
"Just 3 months ago I was really struggling. I'd been running hard for nearly a year, yet I wasn't progressing like I had in the past. I had stopped losing weight, every run seemed difficult, my body was sore and tired, and it took too long to recover from just a few runs per week. . . .
. . . I really have become a "Running Machine!" Thanks Kristi and Rhonda! "
Melissa Sharp - 2009
"Feeling out of touch with my 36 year old body. Coming face to face with the reality that my "old routine" (from my 20's) was just not cutting it. I began to research what to do next. . . .
. . . I cannot tell a lie, I NOW find core work is fun! I welcome the challenge. Yes, the absolute truth. I am incredibly thankful for my experience with the BeFit staff!!"
Dave Melusky - 2009
"When a friend at work said to me one day, "Hey Dave, you should check out this personal training studio I go to. It's awesome." The first words out of my mouth were "Yeah, like I have money for a personal trainer. . . .
. . . If you're really, really ready to make some changes, there's no better place to start than with Rhonda and BeFit. It's really worth the investment and you owe it to yourself!!"
Danielle Shrock - 2008
"When I started with Be Fit Lifestyle in May 2008 I was frustrated and sick and tired of the emotional roller coaster and yo-yo weight gain and loss. . . .
. . . I have had several personal trainers before and attended several gyms. BeFit is the best hands down!"
Alexa Anderson - 2008
"I have been working out with Rhonda since before there was a place called BeFitLifestyle, and she has helped me make many changes in my life. . . .
. . . They really can become part of your lifestyle fairly easily. Next 8 week challenge, I am going to really commit to the cardio, and lose more of the weight I want to see gone!"
Ken Hudson - 2008
"Recently my wife, Beverly, and I were watching Masterpiece Theatre on TV, and one of the characters said something I thought was profound - "It's not what we say or feel that makes us what we are, it's what we do, or not do.". . .
. . . And, you really can accomplish more than you think you can."
Jen Jung - 2008
"I met Rhonda Nicholson when we were just kids, and in the prime of our lives! Through the years, things change and our bodies just don't respond like they used to! . . .
. . . The best part is, I feel wonderful and am stronger and more energetic than I have been in years - which is a good thing when you have 2 girls to chase after!"
Jason Craig - 2007
"Over the last 8 weeks, I've lost 18 pounds and I couldn't have done it without Rosanna and the support from the rest of the BeFit staff . . .
. . . Thank you so much for all your support. Now, let's see what we can accomplish together in 2008!"
Victoria Roberts - 2007
"When I arrived at the Carlsbad Half Marathon 2007, I was there to watch my sister Lora, who is a member of BeFit, run to the end of the finish line. I was so proud of her and all that she had accomplished. After seeing the pain, yet this light of fulfillment in her accomplishment, it inspired me to do the same. . . .
. . . Being fit and healthy is not temporary; it is a life you commit to."
Nora Threlkel - 2007
"When I joined BeFitLifestyle in January 2007, I was out of shape - a true couch-potato! But once I made up my mind to do something about it, I jumped in with both feet. . . .
. . . I am looking forward to many more races and a long association with BeFitLifestyle. Thank you Rhonda, Jen, Paul and everyone at BeFit!"
Valerie Goodpaster - 2007
"I just finished my first week of training and I used my heart monitor for the first time. I was ready to throw the chest band away when I realized it knew what it was doing. . . .
. . . She is training for the Rock and Roll next year. Again, thanks, I love my new training tool!"
Lisa Altman - 2007
"When I first made a decision to get healthier and stronger, I felt intimidated by the challenge that lie ahead. In my 37 years (GULP) I never felt comfortable or motivated to exercise and gain strength. . . .
. . . Thank you Rhonda for creating such a positive and supportive place that changes lives!
Amy Barnhart - 2007
"Prior to joining BeFit, I had done Weight Watchers and had successfully lost 50 pounds and developed a very active lifestyle of outdoor cycling and regular yoga. . . .
. . . I continue to work out at BeFitLifestyle - gaining strength and power without overtraining. I am so pleased with my results!"
Joy Will - 2006
"Last January (2006) I made the decision to live a healthier lifestyle. Knowing that I couldn't afford a personal trainer, I decided to join the BeFit Shape Up for Summer 8 week challenge. . . .
. . . BeFit taught me that I can do it on my own, and now I can motivate other to do it as well."
Andrew Spurgin - 2006
"I love BeFitLifestyle! I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth BFL has literally changed my life and probably saved it too. . . .
. . . I signed up for a year after seeing what BFL can do for me, I suggest you do too, make the commitment and see the results!"
Marg Stark - 2006
"I was always the last kid picked for teams in grade school. I've always felt pretty intimidated by and alienated from athletics. . . .
. . . Because of Befit I'm strong and I'm confident, and being active is a joy, rather than a source of embarrassment."
Jim Rider - 2006
"Before I starting my training and nutrition programs at BeFitLifestyle, I considered myself a fairly active person, but always struggled with my weight. . . .
. . . I would recommend this excellent team of professionals at BeFit to anyone. They are a very talented and friendly group that truly care about their clients."
Pat Stark - 2006
"I wish now that we'd taken a photograph of how I looked when I first went to see Rhonda in Oct of 2002 at age 47. But like many people returning to exercise, I didn't want to see a photograph of myself. . . .
. . . Learning that I really do have control of what I weigh and that what and how much I eat truly are the other puzzle pieces.”
Alison Curwen - 2005
"I signed up with BeFitLifestyle on July 1st, 2004. I travel a lot for work - my idea of exercise was running from one gate to the next...I was always out of breath! . . .
. . . I'm not here to lose weight, although, I've done that too! I am here to get fit and have fun - essentials at BeFitLifestyle."
