FASTER FITNESS


Health ... faster. W


HETHER YOU consider exercise programs to be the wave of the future or


a waste of time, you can’t help but be impressed by Faster

Fitness and its innovative way of providing the tools of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Faster Fitness earned the 2007


NOVA 7 award from Fitness Management magazine for its Web- based fitness software, “FitPoint.” “FitPoint lets us know if people


are making progress,” explains Chris McNeil, president of Faster Fitness. He explains that workout informa-


tion is entered into a computer by trainers; the client follows the pre- programmed plan; and the trainers monitor the client’s achievement. All programs are 30 minutes long and, he says, “The results are guaranteed.” If this sounds too good to be


true, consider that Faster Fitness has produced positive results since its inception in 2000. The secret to the company’s success lies in the FitPoint program, which allows clients to go online at any time to gauge their performance, view information on nutrition manage- ment and compete in a “points” game against other clients. Faster Fitness provides free


personal fitness profiles that outline goals and clear expectations of what the individual can accomplish through the program. “We study people who are suc-


cessful at long-term weight manage- ment,” says McNeil, “and we use that information to help create profiles for other clients.” McNeil points out that people


“All programs are 30


minutes long and ... ‘the results are guaranteed.’”


who fail to attain success in their fitness programs are those who have “joined regular workout centers and are lost in the mix and have not achieved their weight goals or diet issues or are under time con- straints.” Clients of Faster Fitness, on the other hand, can expect a very effective, brief workout.


Each client is assigned to a trainer, and sessions are semiprivate, with only a few other patrons present at the same time. All sessions are scheduled in advance, which holds the client accountable to the appoint- ment and acts as motivation, McNeil says. The studios are small, private environments “that enable you to flow through the program without fighting crowds for equipment and without the sometimes strange social dynamics of commercial health clubs,” he adds.

In today’s hurry-up world, even fitness has become faster. Faster Fitness customizes 30-minute workouts for their clients and guarantees results.
