I joined IPT in January of 2015 after seeing a horrific bathing suit photo of myself from our 2014 summer vacation in the Bahamas. I was driving around the area close to where I live and noticed IPT in one of the local strip mall centers. It was a Saturday around 3pm, so I wasn’t sure if they’d be open. As I walked up, I saw that they were indeed closed, but as I turned to leave… a really nice guy stopped me and asked if I was looking for information about IPT. I confirmed that I was and I came to find out that his name was Ray and he was one of the owners. He proceeded to unlock the building to let me in and gave me a tour of their facilities. He also gave me a rundown of the various training opportunities IPT had to offer and asked me what I was looking for. When he explained IPT’s small group workouts, I knew immediately that I’d accidentally happened upon the perfect place for me. I had participated in similar workouts years before and had good results but had fallen out of the workout routine for some time. Once I began my workouts four days a week, I also met with Ray’s wife Amy who talked to me about nutrition and changes that I needed to make in my eating habits in order to see the results I wanted. IPT offers so much by way of healthy lifestyle documents, video recipes, recipe lists, and other helpful information on their website as well as their Facebook page that it made this transition manageable. I won’t say it’s been easy (especially the first 30 days), but now that I’m five months in… it really has become the way that I live my life and make my meal choices. The trainers at IPT are just awesome! They take turns in leading the group classes and really push each individual within the class to rise up to his or her potential. Since the groups are small, there is no lack of individual attention as it relates to form correction or input if injuries are in play. My overall goal was to lose 40-50 pounds and to tone my body when I started this journey. Almost halfway through my first year and I’m already down 35 pounds and 12% body fat! And while there’s still toning that needs to happen, I have definitely seen progress on that front as well. The best part is all of my friends, coworkers and family have noticed and constantly tell me how great I look. I cannot express enough how much IPT has changed my life for the better. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend their services to anyone who’s serious about getting fit and feeling fabulous!!

Ive had so much fun with these guys. I look forward to coming in each week and watch my growth. If you need personal training to start a new great lifestyle and fitness habits, looo no further than Infinity Personal Training. Vince is a great trainer. Ive gained almost 15 pounds of muscle mass since I started a few months ago. They have all the right equipment and they mix up your routine so you dont plateau or get bored in your growth. They also offer a variety of fitness styles from private to group training. They are expensive ($700/month for private personal training 2x a week) but that works out to an expectable hourly rate. The only criticism I have has to do with their nutrition and lifestyle guidance. None of the staff are registered dietitians (RDs) or people with bachelors or graduate education in nutrition sciences, so take their nutrition and lifestyle advice wholesomely with a grain of salt. I strongly advise them to hire an RD to direct their nutrition and lifestyle objectives. Their intentions are to have you eat/live healthily, and thats fantastic. They usually give great overall advice (calorie limits and macronutrients balances) and help keep you accountable. But they really need staff formally educated in nutrition science and diet. The owners educations are in business. They have several personal training and fitness certifications, but only one of them even has a precision nutrition certification. They seem to give lifestyle advice to their clients based mostly off what they have learned online. Some of it is reliable, some of it appears scientifically unfounded, noticeably the obsession they have with natural products and remedies. I myself having a degree in chemical engineering, training in food science and engineering, I have published scientific research in bio and food engineering, and I work with clinical RDs in my workplace. So I am sometimes a little skeptical of some of the advice I read and heard from them. My colleagues and I have found some of their lifestyle advice posted by their staff or encouraged by them to resemble homeopathic pseudoscience (fearing tap water fluoride, emphasizing "powerful oils" to combat the flu, fearing corn products, etc). Basically, take their lifestyle advice with a grain of salt. But I cant stress enough how fun and amazing this group has been for helping me meet my fitness goals. You will never have as much fun working out as with these guys. I definitely recommend it if you can afford it.

I stepped foot inside Infinity Personal Training in November 2014, thanks to some pushing by my mom and sister, both of whom have been reaping the benefits of working out at IPT for some time now. After only 5 months, IPT has had a positive impact on my life in more ways than the trainers know. For me, the most important aspect is all about the people. Ray, Amy, and all the trainers truly care about each of their clients. They take the time to get to know you, they listen and remember what you tell them, and its not long until theyll start joking with you like a friend. In addition, its easy to make friends and conversation with other clients. There are all kinds, all sizes, all ages of people, and everyone accepts that were all at IPT for a common purpose. It doesnt feel "clique-y." The trainers also genuinely care about their clients results. If youre not happy with something regarding the workouts, nutrition, etc., they will sit down with you and talk until a solution is found. For example, just last week, I was feeling upset about two pounds I seemed to have gained and couldnt lose again. Amy took my measurements, and I found out that I had indeed gained weight - of muscle! and dropped pounds of body fat. The nutrition counseling is insightful, and the extra accountability increases motivation to eat well and be well. Im stronger than Ive ever been, I enjoy the community of people with a common purpose, and I am so grateful for Amy, Ray, and IPT!

I joined Infinity Personal Training in September 2014. Even living through the holiday season I have lost 31 pounds, 7 inches in my chest, 11 inches in my waist, 3.5 inches in my hips, 6 inches in my thigh and 1.5 inches in my bicep! I have tried SO many different ways to lose weight to no avail. The missing ingredient has always been accountability. I love IPT! The owners and trainers are professional yet friendly and always open to questions about anything. They check My Fitness Pal and give suggestions/alternatives to my favorite meals, all of the trainers pay close attention to form during group and personal sessions so that I dont injure myself, and they are expecting me to be there. I have only missed 1 or 2 group sessions and I got a call from the trainer within an hour of my missed session! Accountability! As I said before, I have tried so many programs before and they didnt work because I didnt work them! At IPT I have so much support to stay focused on my goals it is virtually impossible to fail! Not only are they approachable in person, but they have a wealth of nutrition information and recipe blogs/videos on their website, they are always available on Facebook, I have also become friends with so many of the clients through group sessions and Facebook. We support each other as well. If you are looking for a lifestyle change and need the kind of support and accountability I do, this is the place for you! Call Ray or Amy today!
