Don't just listen to what we have to say about iGi, here's what our clients have to say!
"I started taking Tabata and Zumba classes at iGi Fitness in October 2018. My goal was to lose weight and get back in shape. I enjoyed going to classes, working out and seeing all the ladies. After a year, I realized that I was not losing any weight.
When the Bootcamp program was offered I thought, "I've got to give this a try!" I knew I needed to do something different. My biggest fear was thinking I was not going to lose weight due to my medications and having to change what I eat and drink. What I wanted most from Bootcamp was to lose weight, be confident and change for the better by living a healthy lifestyle. I also knew it was going to take a lot of effort and accountability on my part. I was ready to make that change! My biggest struggle in the beginning was having to change my eating habits and drinking more water. Making small adjustments was the key for me and telling myself I will do better each day. Getting the support and encouragement from my trainer and classmates at iGi Fitness was a great motivator that helped me stay on track. I also chose to set S.M.A.R.T. goals at the beginning of camp and stuck with them. With good nutrition and exercise the weight started coming off. Support from my husband, family and friends gave me the confidence to not give up. I began reading food labels, staying hydrated, making good food choices and tracking it all! Seeing the numbers on the food tracker was an eye opener. Numbers don't lie...they add up! When I started Bootcamp I weighed 194 lbs. My goal was to lose 15 lbs in the 8 weeks. I lost 18 lbs and still moving beyond...i'm currently at 22 lbs lost!!! I have set new goals and will be continuing with my program. Thank you Rachel for being there for me and pushing me beyond my limits. I couldn't have done it without you! Sign me up for the next Bootcamp!!" -Monica |

"Several years ago, I was attending a different exercise class. I thought I was doing everything right.
I was in disbelief when I had to go to a physical therapist for a knee issue, he said I needed to strengthen my thigh muscles. I almost laughed and I did say I exercised all the time. Well, as you know, I started your class soon after and I have since found out that the previous instructor did not watch our form of doing the exercises correctly.
Now, my body is much better shape, in strength, for doing tasks since I live in a house that has lots of stairs, both outside and inside. I have also fallen off 5 foot ledges gardening and not been hurt due to strong bones from exercise. Also I can do way more exercise reps then before. when I started doing this type of exercise vs running, I could only do 3 regular push ups. Now I can do many push-ups."

"I started Bootcamp with the goal of doing a full push-up.
At the end of the Bootcamp not only could I do multiple push-ups, but my jeans were looser and my confidence was at an all time high! Rachel does an amazing job of keeping you motivated and pushing you to your limits without feeling like you're being pushed. I highly recommend her Bootcamps for anyone who is looking to jump start their fitness journey or take it to the next level!"

" I am measuring four key areas (thighs, hips, waist, and chest) to help me keep track of measurable results. I have lost 2.5 inches around my chest, .5 inch around my waist and hips. I have increased .5 inch in thigh measurement (increased muscle mass).
- Betty Las0, 54
- I can hold planks longer (core strength) and do more controlled pushups with better form.
- My favorite part of working out is being with friends. Synergy is AWESOME.
- Rachel is the perfect motivator. She knows when and how to push me along to better health. I trust Rachel to observe my form while I exercise to keep me safe. She is dedicated to each person who enters her gym and we know she cares about our complete wellness.

"I believe I'm healthy, stronger, and have stamina today for the contribution IGI FItness/Rachel. I'm being challenged on a regular basis. Rachel has provided a safe environment to work in. Rachel is supportive and encourages you during the workouts making sure you're doing them safely and correctly. Even in the class setting she's watching each person and coming over to give you technique and even to push you harder because she believes you're capable of going to the next level....like heavier weights, bands, etc. Then using heavier weights/bands then you're surprised when you can use the heavier items whereas you didn't think you could.
I've missed out a couple of weeks on a regular and routine workout. Today, I went for a 2.7 mile jog with my husband. I was shocked that I was able to do this and he was admiring my strength and stamina. I also found I've missed working out with others when you're alone. I've been able to encourage people to try the workouts.
Rachel is personable not just with your workouts and her coaching but she's interested in what's happening in your life. It builds relationships. She works hard to bring the community together. She listens to your struggles with workouts or weight issues and brings encouragement and affirmation with ideas of how to be successful. IGI is a studio not a gym. The groups are a nice size. I enjoy the people who come and workout during the times I'm with them. You leave exhausted after a workout but stoked that you had a good workout to start your day. "

"I’ve noticed a few measurable differences from attending iGi and working with Rachel.
First I’ve lost weight and managed to keep it off. Second I’m stronger and have better endurance when engaging in physical activity. Also, through conversations with Rachel, I’ve worked through negativity about body image, I’ve gained a better understanding of just how important mental health and wellness is, and I’ve gained a better understanding of the areas I struggle in and gained tools to help start addressing them. Additional info for #1. I lost six pounds over six weeks of works and have managed to keep it off over the holiday season. As far as reps and weights are concerned I now that I did more reps at the end than I did at the beginning and I was user heavier weights as well. I can’t recall specific numbers so I apologize there.
It’s amazing how when you focus on the truths about who you are as a person and what you are created to be its amazing how that affects your outlook on life as a whole. I started attending classes to lose weight and be more fit but I’ve become a much more positive person over all as well.
The members and Rachel are very warm and welcoming. Rachel is fierce and full of energy for her work and you can tell she loves what she does. She is a coach who knows how to modify an exercise when she sees you struggling but she is not afraid to challenge you if she thinks you can push harder or lift heavier weights or do an extra rep.
I truly appreciate iGi for being a place I can go and not have to worry about judgment, its full of normal people all trying to be healthier."

"I have been going to IGI fitness for 3 years.
I have been regularly working out since I was in my 20’s. I am 68 now! I have been to several gyms and taken numerous fitness classes. I feel Tabata significantly improved my over all strength and cardiovascular fitness plus I really enjoy it. Several times during a work out I think to myself I won’t be able to do it but with Rachel’s encouraging I am always able to complete the exercise! This feels very rewarding to me and keeps me motivated to even do more!
I really love the small classes as I feel Rachel keeps a close eye on all of us. The games are really fun too"
