I am a 51 year old who was tired of being ”sick and tired”.  I have dieted and worked out sporadically most of my life with varying degrees of success with none of them being permanent.  I came to Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training as a last attempt to lose my weight and become physically fit; they have done all I could ask.  The trainers here are supportive and helpful while getting the results I was looking for.  Nutritional advice and wellness education is part of the program.  I lost thirty pounds and six inches off my waistline in the first six months! I FEEL AWESOME!!!  My overall fitness has greatly improved as well as my attitude in life. I have back and knee issues and while Iron Quest is tough, it’s designed to get the most out me while preventing me from injury... in fact my joints feel better than ever. The facility is wonderful, clean and well maintained.  The locker rooms are private so people who have never been gym rats will feel comfortable. While we all know it’s a personal commitment to become physically fit, Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training makes it easier, and believe it or not, FUN!

The doctors’ solution to my torn hip flexor and arthritic hip was heavy duty pain killers for the past ten years… I could barely walk when I first got to Iron Quest. I was assessed head to toe, and with the careful one on one training I went through, I was able to gain 70% mobility back in my hip and leg. Even though I still had to have my hip replaced, I was off all major pain meds and delayed surgery several years. The hospital staff was shocked at my strength and my ability to maneuver myself after this major surgery. I was able to walk 200 feet and up 4 stairs just hours after surgery! I have lost 105 pounds, 15 inches in my waist, and feel like I turned back the clock more than 20 years!!! I found the staff to be very knowledgeable and up to date with the latest types of resistance training, therapies and mobility exercises. I can now tie my own shoes, which hasn’t happened for more than a decade. Plus, I won my golf league THREE YEARS IN A ROW, which was impossible before Iron Quest. This was all due to the special personal training that I received from these highly skilled professionals. Iron Quest has really saved my life and how could you put a price on life? This is a 5 star establishment!!

Testimonial #4

I am a 59 year old grandmother of four and had come to a point in my life where I wanted to do something about my physical condition. I was heavier than I wanted to be and had begun to have some issues with flexibility and muscle tone. Most concerning, I was also warned by my doctor that I was dangerously close to becoming diabetic (elevated A1c and fasting glucose levels). I had never worked out in a gym and had been intimidated by the thought of going to a gym. A friend went to Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training who got great results and recommended that I go in and give it a go.
    Initially when I met with Jason I was impressed with the thoroughness of his evaluation and his holistic approach to both nutrition and the workout sessions. The earliest sessions were quite challenging, but with the help and encouragement of the excellent trainers at IQFit I greatly improved my stamina and started looking forward to total body workouts. And, since I was training privately in a studio and not in a public gym, my intimidation quickly faded.
    After several months I am very pleased with my progress. I improved my strength, muscle tone, flexibility, lost nearly 30 pounds, 7-1/2 inches off my waist, and my blood labs have improved tremendously. All this while eating three meals and two snacks a day of REAL food! [Editor’s note: Maureen just had a Doppler study of her carotid artery; the test showed ZERO plaque! And since she has family members with heart disease, this shows it is not "good genes" but a healthy lifestyle that is keep her vascular system clear!]
    I would highly recommend Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training for anyone who is interested in improving their physical conditioning and their nutrition, since both are essential to improving one's life.

Working with Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training has been extraordinary! While I have worked with trainers in the past, Jason McCammon and his staff took a special interest in me that I have never experienced before. There is no cookie cutter approach as Iron Quest recognizes the differences of each client. Whether it is weight loss, toning or strength building, Jason designs the programs for the individual, not the individual to the program. Additionally, Jason’s nutritional counseling has helped me adapt a total lifestyle change of how I think about food. A successful healthy lifestyle change involves both good physical exercise and sound nutritional eating. When I started Working with Iron Quest I weighed 304 lbs., had a waist size of 52 inches, and had body fat at over 40%. I am now at a weight of 194 lbs., with a waist size of 36 inches and my body fat is now 16.6%! I have muscles I did know existed and I am in the best shape of my life, even better than when I was 25 years old!!! I can highly recommend Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training to start down a road to that healthy lifestyle change. As others have said, “It just works!”

I’ve been a client at Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training for almost two years now. As a physician and former aerobics instructor I come from a background that is very familiar with health and fitness. So naturally, when I first considered training at IQFit I did so with quite a bit of hesitation... was this going to be just another workout gym?? The answer I soon found out was – absolutely not!!! This personal training studio is exactly the kind of place suited for people of ALL fitness levels, looking for personalized advice. I felt very at ease right from the get-go. Jason McCammon, the director of fitness, is professional, dedicated and truly cares about his clients. The environment is very comfortable and seems to attract like minded people – friendly yet serious about their health. Jason’s exercise and nutritional advice is consistently sound and well researched. After only a few months of training and adhering to his recommended eating regimen I noticed remarkable results. I dropped a few clothes sizes, felt stronger, had greater endurance (especially with my everyday activities) and had tons of energy!! Jason’s great outlook and expertise trickles down to the staff trainers. All of the trainers are always positive and encouraging. I walk out, after a great session, feeling thoroughly trained, revitalized and energetic. I’ve witnessed IQFit grow from a tiny little one room studio to the current, cozy accommodations. In the future, because the program is so successful, I foresee IQFit having several more locations throughout Mid-Michigan. A few years ago IQFit was one of the Lansing’s best kept secrets, but is now becoming quite popular. Lansing is very fortunate to stake claim to such top notch personal fitness training. I highly recommend Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training!!

I wasn't sure what personal training really meant when I signed up, but I was really feeling the effects of sitting in an office all day. The only information I knew about strength training came from women's magazines or watching other people in gyms who looked like they knew what they were doing. I have since found out that many of these people are setting themselves up for injury, because very few people take the time to learn how to do train correctly. I had also tried many diets that failed, as usual. Personal Fitness Training was something new and I was a little intimidated, but I thought I would try it.

Jason, the Fitness and Nutrition Director at Iron Quest, is a powerful person, both in mind and body. He really is passionate about nutrition and health. At first I was resistant to all the information I was provided, because some of it ran counter to what I had been taught to believe. However, I decided that I would trust Jason and I am so happy I did. Strength training is addictive. I really didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It is so nice to work one-on-one with a trainer who knows you and works with you individually each week. It helps enormously to have a professional there to push you and keep training fun. The results have been great too; in addition to losing 30 pounds and 11 inches between my waist, hips, and legs, I just feel better. My posture has improved and I feel more confident. It feels good to be strong and even my family noticed the results. My two sons have since signed up and of course they love it too! Further proof is that after training at Iron Quest my doctor said my cholesterols were exceptional without any medications! I highly recommend Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training. It just works!

Testimonial #8

I began training at Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training in mid January of 2007. My goals from the outset were to improve my overall strength and flexibility, improve my strength and endurance as a runner, and to achieve a level of fitness that will help me remain active and healthy in the second half of my life. I have met and exceeded these goals. I have significantly improved my race times this season, even though I'm running about half as many miles each week. I can only conclude that, with the help of Jason's training program, the miles I am running are more productive. I am constantly impressed by Jason's powers of observation and his ability to develop a comprehensive, individualized, training program for me that never gets boring. Jason and his staff are to be commended for doing a great job. Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training has proven its commitment to providing excellent service to people interested in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I hoped to firm up and lose whatever excess I could- being average height and weight at 5-4 and generally 140-145, wearing size 10’s. My body fat was in the high 30%'s.

Since my husband was very critical of my endeavor, saying I didn’t need to pay anyone for the the following advice: 'Eat Less. Work Out More.' I suppose from the start I had something to prove - that this was worth it (and I was worth it!). I followed the recommendations to the letter which was astonishingly easy because of the amazing results that were occuring.

Several months later I am a solid 115 pounds with 21% body fat, wearing size 2!! My jaw line has reappeared as have my cheekbones. My abs and arms are actually defined. I am healthy and strong and having a ton of fun with clothing and admiring compliments. I am in better shape than when I was 17 years old. My labwork is phenomenal. Previous problems with sleep apnea, gastric reflux and irritable bowel have vanished.

I never dreamed when I started that if would be possible to see Pre-Baby Weight again after 18 years. And I have that beat by three pounds and a couple of pants sizes, which is absolutely priceless.

I can’t recommend Iron Quest Fitness highly enough.

Testimonial #10

I worked out diligently with free weights on my own for several years before coming to Iron Quest Personal Fitness Training. Although I knew that weight training was a key component of fitness, I gradually came to realize that whatever I was doing on my own was not having much of an effect. I also came to realize, at about the same time, that regardless of how much I thought I knew about good nutrition (and I knew a lot), I simply wasn’t attaining the level of fitness that I thought I should be able to attain considering all the effort I was putting forth. I decided then that I’d give the professional training and sound, scientifically-supported nutritional counseling offered by Iron Quest a try before basically “throwing in the towel.” That decision has turned out to be one of the best and most rewarding I’ve ever made.

I can’t thank Jason, Kristin and the Iron Quest team of trainers enough for the key role they play in my health and well-being. Jason's prompt and thorough answers to my nutrition questions are always deeply appreciated, as is the good humor and unflagging commitment to excellence demonstrated by the awesome staff.
