Customer Testimonials

I have had several trainers over the past 15 years and have never seen the results that I have achieved with any of them compared to what Brooke has done for me over the past 3 years. I am fortunate enough to be a part of her group gravity class and I look forward to every one of her classes. Brooke is superior because of the thought, planning and personalization she puts into each work out. I have been in a class with 7 of us and she is spot on with everyone’s idiosyncrasies. Whether it’s a shoulder injury, sore back, or even just recovering from a long run; she will customize every exercise to accommodate each of us individually.What really sets Brooke apart is the way she energizes our group to perform at our highest level. She has taken the time to understand what motivates each of us individually and plays off of that. It could be as simple as asking us if we need to drop a level to pairing us up for a little friendly competition.

Brooke’s personality, combined with her knowledge, experience, and energy makes her the best of her field but what really has helped me achieve my goals is her instinct….. She just simply “gets it”! As professionals in this field, I’m sure you understand that that is not something that can be learned, it’s just who she is..

I first met Brooke in 2010 when I was looking to get back into shape (having been an avid runner) after having my first baby and needing to lose the last 20 pounds of my 40 pound weight gain. Through an integration of strength and cardio training, Brooked helped me successfully achieve my goal of losing the last 20 pounds and to my surprise I ended up feeling stronger and more fit than I was before. For the last 4 1/2 years I have consistently trained with Brooke including through my last pregnancy where I again gained 40 pounds but lost it even faster than the first time because I had more muscle mass.

I have made great friends through out these work out sessions and continue to maintain a high level of energy to keep up with two active boys!

I have been training with Brooke Fellows for the past seven years. During that time, Brooke has helped me to lose 70 pounds and keep it off! Brooke has extensive knowledge of fitness and nutrition, and is an incredible motivator. Brooke does not rely on gimmicks, fad diets or the newest supplements. Instead, she endorses a healthy well-rounded diet and exercise program that is sustainable for a busy working mother like me. Brooke has helped me to change my lifestyle and my outlook on overall health. She provides me with general advice, as well as detailed meal plans and daily workout plans. This is just what I need! Brooke is highly ducated and has extensive experience as a physical therapy assistant. She specializes in training clients with injuries. She helped my husband to rehabilitate a severe back injury, and he has now progressed on to a rigorous strength training program. Thanks to Brooke, my husband is living an active, pain-free life. When I broke my foot, I did not need to discontinue my daily workouts; in fact, I only missed one day of exercise. Brooke tailored a workout program for me that allowed me to continue to build strength and burn calories - what a lifesaver!I feel fortunate that Brooke is in my life. She comes to my office to train me on my lunch hours, and her zest for life is contagious! My office mates have now started to train with her. It is hard to be around her without wanting to join in on the fun. Brooke’s talent is in pushing her clients to achieve their best workout in a spirited and supportive environment. Brooke is the ideal personal trainer. She is intelligent, experienced, supportive and conscientious. In my seven years of weekly workouts with Brooke, she has never once cancelled or showed up late. She is the most reliable, hard-working woman I have ever known. Brooke’s character and integrity have earned her great admiration. Her positive attitude is contagious and has effected every aspect of my life. I feel as if Brooke is more than a personal trainer - she is a life coach and a role model for us all.

I have worked with Brooke for over 12 years and she is the one trainer I trust with my patients and clients for their fitness and post-rehabilitation programs. Brooke has worked with all our therapists. With exceptional communication between the therapist and herself Brooke is able to safely and effectively keep clients participating in a fitness program even when they are recovering from injuries. She motivates, encourages and educates her clients to better health and wellness, all while having fun!

Fellows Fitness changed our lives! Brooke tailors our work-outs to match our goals and physical limitations. Now Ron is in the best shape he's been in his life. Brooke helped Laura recover from a serious herniated disc and now she can do the outdoor activities like biking, hiking and kayaking that they enjoy doing together. We could not have done this on our own!

-Ron Forster and Laura Hunter

I am a recently retired Healthcare Executive and former "Type-A" personality who, over the past 30 years working, managed to transform a healthy mind, athletic physique into a more "Pear shaped" 256 pound not-so-healthy 55 year old man. My Cardiologist told me die now or 1) change my lifestyle, 2) eat less volume, at better times of the day and 3) begin a regular exercise program. I have an amazing supportive wife who saw the inner athlete inside me and was willing to do whatever it took to help me get healthy so we could live a long and happy life together...exactly the same goal I wanted.

Prior to my retirement in 2010, I met Brooke Fellows at Frog's Fitness after a few bad experiences with other trainers. Brooke took a refreshing new approach by assessing my physiological make-up, physical abilities, diet and exercise levels, work out "likes/dislikes" in addition to my long term personal goals and objectives. From there, we started a program where I worked out 5 days a week, 2 of which were under Brooke's expert guidance. One requirement of mine was NO artificial life changes like those "liquid type" diets. I wanted to learn how to workout in relationship to my goal weight and desired body composite, even if it took me a few years. I wanted to live a normal, healthy life I could control to the end.

When Brooke made the decision to open Fellows Fitness, Bobbie and I did not hesitate giving up our 10+ year contract with Frog's Fitness to follow her. It was one of the best decisions we've made in life.

THE RESULTS:

a) Gross weight reduction. I started at 256 pounds and now weight 219. My goal is 205.

b) My blood chemistry (cholesterol levels, hemoglobin A1c, etc.) are all now within normal limits.

c) Competitive on the tennis courts. We are playing USTA Level Singles and Doubles matches here and in Hawaii and winning awards. 4 years ago I did not have the stamina or physical strength/agility to compete at this level.

d) We challenge eachother using our FITBIT's and haul a$$ around Miramar Lake, a 5.25 mile loop which we couldn't do 4 years ago.

e) When I started working out with Brooke I had a 44+ inch waist size. I now fit into size 40 inch Levi 501 button down jeans. That has not happened in 30 years!
