I did the 5 weeks fitness to fit challenge and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a really nervous at start the journey but the trainers and staff were very supportive. The work outs are great and the trainers are encouraging and are always there to help with the correct form or just to give you that extra support! I am glad I took this next step in my life and can't wait to continue to grow with formula fitness both physically and mentally!

I recently completed the 5 week challenge and had a great experience. The formula 3 Gym is a great place to work out. Coming in to work your butt off for 50min is a great way to start your day. The trainers are great. They are able to both modify things you may need help with and challenge you to push yourself and get better everyday. During the challenge it was extremely helpful to have access and support from a nutritional point of view. Constant support and weekly check-ins was a huge part of my success in this challenge. I would recommend this to anyone who is up for a challenge.

I joined this gym for a 5 week weight lose challenge. What I really enjoy about this gym is how I can go there, do my workout and continue on with my day, all within an hour. That is huge for me, as I work and have three little children. They do all the "thinking" for you! Also, the workouts are always different so you don't get bored and they go by so fast. Every trainer I've come across is super friendly and they try their best to motivate you and alter the workout for you personally. With the 5 week challenge, nutrition was a huge part of the process as well. This diet was brand new to me and the most challenging piece of it but someone is always available to answer any questions you may have. Everyone is very helpful but you will not be able to complete such a challenge without self-control and determination and pushing yourself. I am so proud to say that by the end of the challenge I reached my goal. I feel stronger and lighter and have more energy. I really enjoy this gym and the trainers and would recommend trying it out.

Wow, 5 weeks just ended and what can I say? It’s been a total transformation of my body, but also my mindset. 5 weeks ago, I was overweight, sluggish and just not happy with myself. My wife decided to enter us into the 5-week challenge and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. I lost 13% of my body weight, became more energized than ever and I am finally eating the right things to ensure I continue my journey. 5 weeks ago, I wouldn’t have even thought this way, now I don’t want to disappoint myself. I have learned self-control, set new weight loss goals and in a few months, I will be at my weight from 20 plus years ago. Oh, and did I tell you how my blood pressure has also dropped dramatically? I’m on my way to being healthy again, it’s not going to happen overnight, I know that, but I’m headed in the right direction. As for Formula3 Fitness, I couldn’t have been introduced to a better organization. All the trainers “Coaches” are amazing. They are very enthusiastic, push you to your limits, but are there to help when needed. The classes themselves are great and change daily. I like that the best as it’s not the same old routine. After 45 minutes of warm-ups, strength, cardio and stretching, you feel exhausted, but also energized as well. The owner Orlando is great as well, always positive and when he runs the class, be ready, he’s going to make you earn your workout. I enjoyed my 5 weeks so much, that I signed up for a year membership. I can’t wait to see what I can achieve!

I needed a serious reset! I was out of shape, flabby and had let myself go – not so terrible that there was no coming back – but bad enough that I felt it and looked it. My husband had heard of Formula3 Fitness and I checked out their website. There was information about a 5 week challenge and I knew it was just what I needed. A realistic commitment that I could make to get back to me, both in mind and body! Within 48 hours I had signed my husband and I up for the challenge, we were weighed in, we grocery shopped and showed up for our first workout. The program works. Eat right, work hard (sometimes very hard – but you feel great afterwards) and commit to making a health change. That is what it was about for me. Taking the time to be healthy is worth it and when you start to see the results you know it is worth it. And I did see the results. For the first week my body was SORE!!! But it was a good sore. I worked out 4 days a week, ate the right foods, cut out the sugars and carbs, made some great healthy changes to my lifestyle. I lost 12.2 pounds in 5 weeks. I feel great, I have a better routine, I am making healthier choices and look forward to keeping it up this time and not letting myself go. What I love about Formula3 Fitness (and trust me, I’ve been to gyms, I’ve done classes, I’ve taken kickboxing, yoga, etc….) is that it is a complete package. The trainers are amazing (5am guy Jeremy kicks butt – totally great guy), the owner is great, they challenge you to reach farther and aim higher during the workouts which are only 50 minutes total. The workouts include warming up those muscles, strength building with weights, flexibility, cardio, core work and stretching. The short yet intense sets of each aspect of the workout ensure maximum fat burn. Plus it’s convenient – pick a day and hour, sign up and go! In short, it was a great reset and a reminder for me of who I am and what I want to be both physically and mentally. I recommend giving it a try if you haven’t yet and see for yourself! You won’t regret it!

I joined Formula 3 Fitness in March of 2018 when they opened the Lancaster location. Gyms have always been intimidating to me and I've never been very successful. However, after going to the open house and meeting the trainers and speaking with them I knew this was the "gym" for me. The workouts are awesome and intense but the trainers are there motivating you and supporting you the whole way. Then came the opportunity to participate in the 5 week challenge. The results of this 5 week challenge have completely surpassed my expectations. Not only did I lose 17 lbs but I gained so much more - I feel stronger than ever before, I feel much more confident and all around have more energy throughout the day which is crucial being a stay-at-home mom of 3 little ones. Before this challenge I was dreading going into another summer where I knew my clothes would be too tight and I'd be stuck living in a world of yoga pants and baggy t-shirts just to cover myself up. I now feel confident enough to wear clothes with zippers and buttons because they go on easily. The eating plan provided for this challenge was exactly what I needed to get myself focused on making myself feel better and making good choices. I learned a lot about nutrition and what works best for me. The coaches throughout this challenge were extremely supportive, engaging, available, and really were essential in this process. They were there for every struggle to help come up with solutions and ways to stay on track and you knew they wanted the best for you and for you to succeed and reach your goal. I am extremely proud of myself and know that even though this challenge has ended my journey has just begun and without Formula 3 Fitness this would have never happened. I am very appreciative and grateful to them and would recommend them to anyone looking to pursue a positive and healthy lifestyle.

I love F3!!!! Great workouts, great time slots to pick from, and amazing trainers!! I love the small group personal training!! The owners and trainers genuinely care about their members! You get more one on one attention and individualized instruction!! I have been to many gyms and this one is so clean and welcoming!! Very different from a typical gym! I never feel intimidated and I know I will get in a great workout!! I have been a member of Formula 3 since feb 2018 and decided to take the 5 week fit challenge they were offering starting in May!! So glad I did! Now I am a person that enjoys exercise and I try to keep in fairly good shape after having 3 kids but I just needed something more! A boost to meet my personal fitness goals! F3 is the place to meet your health and wellness goals!! The workouts are quick and intense which I need being a full time working mom on the go!!!! The 5 week fit challenge allowed me to loose 5% body fat and the 10lbs I needed to loose after baby 3 that would just not come off!!! The nutrition plan and guidance was amazing! I was so nervous because the nutrition piece is what I struggled with! I now feel in control and so much healthier! Thank you Formula 3 for all you do!! So happy I found this place!! I would highly recommend!! Thank you!!!

I joined a 5 week challenge that started in May at Formula 3 Fitness in Lancaster with the goal of getting back to regular workouts, feeling better, and losing some weight. I was feeling tired all the time, and knew it was time for a change.At the end of 5 weeks, I am happy to say I hit my goal of losing 18 pounds and am much stronger than I’ve been in awhile…I am feeling great!My experience with the 5 week challenge at Formula 3 Fitness made deciding to become a member an easy one.My favorite part as a busy Mom of three is that I can get in the gym and get an amazing, full-body workout in 45 minutes…most times burning as many as 500 calories! The trainers are all so great and really push you to give your best effort. I would never challenge myself like this working out on my own…the small group atmosphere is fun and keeps you motivated. They offer many convenient class times, so no excuses.I was impressed with the consistent guidance, feedback and support we all received during the challenge including info for maintaining weight moving forward. The staff is really knowledgeable, always willing to offer up modifications to help you get your best workout even if you have some physical limitations. They are happy for you in your successes and work hard to help you get there!I am happy with the great results I achieved, and look forward to even more physical gains at Formula 3 Fitness.

I signed up for the 5 week challenge in May 2018 at F3 and I am so happy I did…this place is amazing! First off the Lancaster location for me is perfect, only a few minutes from my house. This is great for me being a mom of 2 small kids and their full schedules. The classes run all day starting from 5AM to 7PM so I can always fit in a class that works best for me. The classes are only 45 minutes but are full body intense workouts! It’s like have your own personal trainer! I’ve never been to a gym like this one…I’m so happy I found it! In just 5 weeks with their nutrition plan I was able to lose 19lbs . The owners and trainers are ALL amazing! They really care about you and your success. Anytime I needed help or had questions they were there for me. You can tell they really care about their clients. If you’re looking for a gym that produces results…go to Formula 3 Fitness!!
