ISOTOLP Fitness

Isotolp Fitness has been apart of my life for the past year. It’s been a life changing experience for me and I never doubted joining for a minute. I’ve made friends AND I’ve gotten to actually enjoy working out now! This has been a life saving change for me and I cannot thank Chris Tolp enough for being dedicated and inspiring to me to be my best self!!!

Its been an year since our family moved and Oh boy, do we miss Chris and his classes.. Absolutely!! If you are in need of a fitness routine that you want to hold yourself accountable to and also get reasonable results with a no nonsense approach, please sign up with Chris. He is one of the best out there and you will certainly not find a professional trainer so easily. To start out, the classes would sound expensive, they are indeed not. We sign up at other places for variety and childcare and what not. We take a more variety for less as a good thing.. but you will realize after signing up with Chris that his classes are much easier to fit in your fitness routine without feeling overwhelmed and you will realize less is more. All his workouts are full body workouts, every routine is a new routine and you will always be challenged no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Love Isotolp fitness, Chris and the entire community he has brought together.

I have been going to Isotolp Fitness for over 5 years. I have been in the best shape of my life ever since.

My husband and I have been members for several years. What I love most is that we were accepted with where we were emotionally and physically. We got stronger but more importantly... healthier. We love the people and love the accountability from our fearless leader, Chris!

Over 3 years ago, I decided to get serious about my health and fitness. Up until then I had tried pretty much everything (running groups, exercise classes, fad diets, etc). The Dynamic Human classes, personal training, small group training, and specialty classes are truly one of kind and have been hands down life changing for me. I am down over 30 lbs, dropped 5 dress sizes, and feel incredible. I am STRONGER than ever.There are no short-cuts, fad classes or diets...only hard work, a variety of workouts, and an amazing support system. The outcome = RESULTS. Chris Tolp is an outstanding personal trainer with extensive experience and knowledge in fitness and nutrition. He provides a welcoming and POSITIVE fitness environment (no screaming or yelling here). My fellow Isotolpers are like family.Isotolp Fitness has changed my life. I am nearing 40 and can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life. I owe it all to Chris Tolp and Isotolp Fitness. There is no other place like it!

If you are looking to find a way to "get in shape" there is no better place to be. I am in in my late 50's and with the coaching and the guidance available from Chris, have lost 75 lbs and become a better athlete than I was in my 20's. No hype or gimmicks, just sound exercise and nutrition advice. Recently, I was involved in a cyling accident and the dynamic human classes have had a major part in my recovery. So much so, that my physical therapist wanted to know how I recovered so quickly. Again, just sound guidance and sensible exercises weekly. If you need to change, this is the place to get the help to reach your goals!

I have been looking to break some bad eating habits, and get back into racing shape for a while. After reading and seeing what Chris can do as personal trainer I decided to try his online training program out from across the country (I am in Utah and he is in North Carolina). He is very detailed and will let you know what you need to do to reach your goals. He will answer all of your questions and holds you accountable. His nutrition plans are great and one of the biggest things I needed help with. If you are looking to make a big change in your life, Isotolp Fitness can help make it happen.

i was looking for a local gym almost 3 years ago when I drove by Isotolp Fitness on US 64 in Apex on my way home from work. I took a chance, stopped for gas and took a photo of the phone number stenciled on the front door. I called Chris and set up a meeting to find out more about what he offered- I had no real idea what level or type of training he provided or if I could even make it through one of his classes he described. I was a little intimidated, but knew I felt more comfortable here than in one of those mega gyms. Chris started me out in the level 1 class - thanks for that - I survived and kept coming back to my scheduled class. Chris would check in with me periodically as I progressed and tell me whenever he thought I was ready for the next level up. The progression was great for my motivation and I felt stronger as I strived to maintain my consistent attendance to classes. Almost 3 years later I'm still here, still happy I stopped by and gave this place a try.I have since moved to Raleigh, but I still drive back to this great little exercise studio in Apex. My friends and family ask me why. At first It was the positive feeling I got from supporting a locally owned business - as I spent more time with Chris during our group exercise I began to really value and trust his opinion and guidance with exercise and nutrition. I also really appreciated that he changes things up periodically and strives to keep the routines fresh and challenging. What makes me continue to come back is the accountability and support I get from Chris and the rest of my workout family. We laugh together, share funny stories about our kids and spouses, encourage each other to sign up for races, and motivate each other to continue on our own individual fitness journeys.Obstacle course race this coming weekend with 5 other clients from Isotolp Fitness. Never would have signed up for these races 3 years ago but have really enjoyed making it through the race as a team with my fellow Isotolpers!

Several weeks ago, friends recommended Isotolp Fitness to me. I'd been active all summer long and watched what I ate, but wasn't making the fitness progress I expected from my actions. I'd joined other gyms before but always felt "anonymous" as if no one would really notice or care if I showed up or not -- I just never "connected." I needed a different approach and I found it in Isotolp Fitness and Chris Tolp. Chris is a great motivator and has guided my nutrition and exercise expertly. In just my first 4 weeks, I've seen my body change and my mental clarity improve all while making friends and having laughs with my new fitness family. Dynamic Human classes never get boring, and the specialty classes are a great boost. I look forward to continued results and maintaining my healthy lifestyle with Isotolp Fitness.

I used to hate working out and this place has been a game changer for me. About 1.5yrs ago I was climbing in pant sizes and decided I wanted to get serious about my health without relying on past "diets" that never worked. I decided to try Isotolp and after 4 months my clothes fit better, I wasn't out of breath walking up stairs and I just FELT better. The Dynamic Human and specialty classes always offer variety and challenge you to push yourself each time. Chris is an expert at what he does and his honesty has never steered me wrong. He creates an atmosphere of support and accountability which I need to reach my fitness goals. What is exceptional about this gym is that everyone in the classes is the same way - supportive, positive and accountable - creating an atmosphere that is fun to be around too. I now look forward to working out.
