I am stronger & more confident than I've ever been!! Thank you Synergy!! I'd give more than 5 stars if they were available!
Before I started synergy there was no way I would have the confidence to run a 5k and I did 2 last week!!! You guys rule.
I had just started at Synergy at my last doctor's appointment 5 months ago. I had a tri-annual appointment today and my doctor was THRILLED! I am down 34 lbs and my blood pressure fell 11 points! And I can't wait to see what we can do before the next doctor's appointment!
Synergy provides an environment that cannot be matched by a "gym". I know longer say I'm going to the "gym" when talking to others. I don’t go to a “gym”, I go to Synergy.
Unique work-out environment with the energy of group training coupled with individualized attention. Everyone gets their own customized exercise regimen that changes each session, so you never get bored!
Dropped body fat at Synergy while building lean muscle — 11 lb drop in body fat in ONLY 6 WEEKS!!!
