Description of work: "I go to Newbody Training for 60-minute personal training sessions three times a week. The sessions are a combination of cardio and weight training."

Member comments: "I've been working with Dane [Setner, the owner] for about two years now. When I started, I weighed nearly 400 pounds and had been diagnosed with Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. Walking into that gym the first day was a scary experience, but Dane and Newbody have been excellent at maximizing my workouts for my fitness level at every stage. Today, I'm in the best shape I've been in for a long time, if not ever. The facilities at Newbody are first-rate, and it's a very friendly and positive environment. I've shopped around, and Newbody offers an excellent value along with a superior product. I'm thankful to them for literally saving my life."

"My doctor basically told me I was a walking time bomb," Johnson says. "I can see the results not just by looking in the mirror, but by the things I'm able to do that I couldn't before." Johnson says he's lost around 120 pounds. "After I turned 30 I put on at least 100 pounds in four or five years. I don't have an ultimate goal, but I want to lose at least another 60."
