Staying healthy has always been at the forefront of my goals. In the past, I struggled with weight gain, mainly due to having children. I would join a new gym and try any fitness class I could, but then I would become unmotivated, and quite honestly, bored at the same offered classes and workout routines. Additionally, making time to better yourself can be quite difficult while trying to balance a work and home life. I have three kids, and when I am not at work, I spend most of my time tending to their needs and extracurricular activities. Finding time to put what I need first can be challenging. One thing I have learned over the years is that there is no magic wand that will produce a convenient time to work out, I have had to make it. Commitment is not easy, it is hard work. With that said, when you do carve out a part of your day to work out, you want it to feel worthwhile and see results.I was pleasantly surprised when a friend of mine suggested Formula 3 Fitness. I knew right away Formula 3 Fitness was for me. The coaches are wonderful, dedicated, and focused on providing us with the best experience possible. They provide the tools and guidance needed so we can thrive. The workouts are always different, and I love that! It keeps me from being bored, or indifferent. I find when you lose passion, it is instrumently more difficult to keep up a routine of attending classes. I like seeing my heartrate on the screen because it motivates me to keep going, which is what I need. The challenges are fun and exciting! For example, I loved the "12 days if Fitmas" challenge! Formula 3 Fitness is a place where you are more than just your monthly dues, you are a member of the team, a team that wants to see you reach your goals and be healthy. Formula 3 Fitness is a significant part of my life and has given me the tools, support, and motivation I need to be healthy. Thank you, Formula 3 Fitness, for helping me find my best self, which allows me to demonstrate to my kids that dedication, commitment, strength, and perseverance are very important, as is being healthy.

I just completed the 5 week challenge on Saturday. Thank you for all that you do! I had a baby in August and NONE of my pants were fitting me. I was really struggling postpartum with my body image and did not want to buy bigger pants. Over the last 5 weeks, I lost 15.7 pounds! Around week 3 I was able to button my pants. Week 4, they were comfortable again and Week 5, someone commented that they were starting to look big! I am so thankful this gym is so close to my house. Having 3 kids, it is REALLY hard to find time to get a workout in. The gym being 5 minutes from my house and a 45 minute class makes it so easy to get there each day. I was working out in my basement before starting this program but the workouts don't even compare! I burn close to 700 calories in each 45 minute class. I was really nervous in the beginning being only 3 months after a C-section but the trainers were so great at providing modifications when needed and pushing me when they knew I needed it. I struggled with the diet in the beginning but Doug was so great and helpful giving me feedback each week. It was a shift in everything that I have learned in previous challenges but once I started eating correctly, I felt great! I look forward to going the gym, which is something I never thought I would say! I'm looking forward to all the changes, both mentally and physically I will make during my year long membership!

As someone who grew up playing in sports all year long with coaches to motivate and push me, I value the approach of Formula 3 Fitness. I love that there is a small class environment with personal fitness stations, great instructors, and linked heart monitors to push me to work hard even when I am ready to quit. Also, having to sign up for classes has helped me to prioritize fitness into my schedule and hold myself accountable.I decided to participate in the 5 week challenge to get back into the routine of working out and sticking to healthier food choices, along with the goal of losing weight. The workouts are designed in a way to challenge each person regardless of their current fitness level, and the nutrition plan never left me hungry and deprived. After having done two challenges now, my body fat is back to a healthy and athletic percentage, I feel stronger, my endurance has increased, I have more energy, my clothes fit better and I can see visible difference in my body. I am happy I have decided to go on this journey with Formula 3 as they have taken me into the direction I want for my overall well being.

Formula 3 Fitness in Lancaster will change the way you look at losing weight. I’ve been to plenty of gyms and this place is the best out there. This is group training on steroids--you’ve never experienced something like this, I promise! Their 5 Weeks to Fit program was exactly what I needed to get back on track with my nutrition and fitness routine--10% of my body weight is gone! The 45 minute classes are intense strength & cardio but also tons of fun. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and will keep you accountable. You will be challenged but F3 wants you to succeed. Invest in yourself! Amazing things happen when you show up & do the work.

I started at Formula 3 in November of 2019. I joined a 5 week Challenge to help me get ready for my daughter's upcoming wedding. I didn't meet my goal of losing 10% of my body weight, but I did lose 8 pounds, which I was happy about, especially since it's always so hard to get through the holidays without gaining weight, let alone losing! I was nervous because I have definitely let myself go over the past couple of years, but the trainers were super helpful (especially Hanna and Eamon). They offered modifications when I needed them and encouraged me to do more than I thought I could. Even though I didn't meet my weight loss goal, I have seen a great deal of improvement in my strength and endurance, and I just feel better overall. I also learned that with the right guidance, I don't HATE working out, and actually even look forward to it after a long day. Thanks Formula 3!

This was my second time completing the 5 week challenge. I love this gym and the way the classes are run. After the first challenge I became a member because I liked it so much. The workouts are challenging, but can be modified if need be and they are always changing things up so you don't get bored. The trainers are amazing and so helpful. They're quick to correct your form and encourage you to push yourself. Overall, a great experience and atmosphere.

My wife and I signed up for a one-month trial via groupon. We gave it a go. We are still sore and tired after the sessions, but outside of that, both of us feel stronger. Aches and pains which used to bother us don't as much.I used to be afraid of some movements that might hurt my neck ... but after a few weeks working out, my neck isn't as easily wacked out of alignment.We signed up for a year. I believe it is an investment in our health for ten years down the line.The staff is very friendly and helpful. They help us if we have difficulty with some exercises, so we still get the most value out of the workout.I've had new year resolutions before ... but the 45 minute workouts they give beat others that I've tried.

I finally decided to take the 5 week challenge. I wanted to do something to get me back on track. Sara was the trainer for most of my workouts and she is amazing! She is always motivating and encourages you to do more.Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I am writing today to review and share my thoughts on the 5 week challenge that I recently completed with the help of the GREAT staff at Formula 3 Fitness in Lancaster. I have been unable to workout for nearly a year due to 3 herniated discs in my back. I had become very sedentary and had gained a ton of weight. After requiring epidural injections for my back pain, I decided to try to lose some weight. The Lancaster location was having a 5 week challenge to lose 10% of your body weight. I wasn't going in thinking I would succeed, I was just looking to get back into a routine . Well, trainers Sarah and Jeff really took me under their wings, and with their help , motivation, and constant attention to me and my need to protect my back, I got into a safe rhythm and CRUSHED! I lost almost 12 % of my bodyweight , and can already see the improvement in my core strength!! Ashley L was amazing as well , providing GREAT nutrition info , recipe ideas and locations to find plan friendly products, and a bright smile and CAN-DO attitude that is infectious! ( THANK YOU ) She really made a huge difference in my success. I am happy to have conquered this first step , and look forward to continuing on as a member at Formula 3 to keep my progress going !! Thank you guys !

Just after 5 weeks of joining this gym I lost 10% of my weight with 4% being pure fat! This gym is basically the most efficient work out I have ever had. The trainers being the greatest motivators as their close proximity keeps you on your toes, holding yourself accountable to give it your best effort! They take the time to give individual care and attention to everyone in class and make sure your movements are accurate so you don't hurt yourself or speed things up to elevate your heart rate. I personally love when they see me on an exercise and they know I can maybe go a little heavier or a little faster and help me challenge myself even on the days where I know I should but lack that extra effort. I don't know where else you can go to get in and out in less than an hour and burn calories that'll cover that milkshake you might've snuck in for a small road trip over the weekend. Formula 3 Fitness keeps it exciting, fun and efficient which will keep bringing me back week after week. Oh and the new muscle definition is pretty cool, I guess ;)
