When most brides prepare for their wedding day, they have a checklist of things to do. Getting in shape usually falls somewhere between booking a venue and picking out the flowers. I had never been to a personal trainer before and I was a little intimidated, but with my wedding 3 months away, I knew it was time for a change in my normal work-out routine. On my first visit to Vertex Fitness, Dwayne and the team asked me what my dress looked like and what my expectations were- and we just took it from there. Right away, I really liked the non-pretentious, no frills atmosphere at Vertex. All the personal trainers listen, encourage, and really know how to work with you to get results. Working a full time job and planning a fast-approaching wedding left me with little free time, but they worked around my crazy schedule and packed a ton into weekly 30-minute workouts. And for the first time in my life, I actually saw results. Vertex Fitness took my body to a level I never knew was possible; they got me ready for THE DRESS. I could have never done it without them – no matter how many hours I logged at the gym alone. And more than anything, I felt great and had a world of confidence on the big day. Thank you for everything Vertex Fitness! Now if we could only get my husband in the studio for a session…
