  • Healthtrax Raleigh

    I first joined Healthtrax in 2011, after surgery to repair torn quadriceps. My physical therapist pointed out that I could join a gym and do the same exercises at a significant reduction of the insurance copays. After researching the available gyms, I chose Healthtrax due to the excellent facilities and staff.  After joining and recovering, I was only taking one class when the Group Fitness Director, Allison D pointed out that it would be better for me to take several classes which would exercise different parts and aspects of my body and do it in different way.

    I had been a runner since 1978, and used to run 1000 miles a year, but never had attended organized classes like those available at Healthtrax. Upon examining the large variety and scope of class offerings, I selected Centergy (with Jen M, Alicia P & Allison D), Active (with Jen M & Allison D), Power (with Catherine W and Allison D), and

    Intervals (with Stacy F).  I am very thankful to Allison D for pointing these out to me and all the instructors for their hard work and dedication to delivering great workouts. Another positive is the socialization that I do with other classmates or members at the gym.  We are a family!

    I currently take five classes a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays I stretch, lift weights and run two miles on the treadmill. This exercise program, coupled with socialization, proper sleep, stress reduction and diet (lost 40 pounds, no smoking or alcohol, and only water to drink plus two cups of decaffeinated coffee per day) is what I call my “Stay Alive” program. I just turned 80 and I plan to keep the same program running for many more years!

    I never schedule anything until after noon, so I can attend class and run. Healthtrax is so important to my family (yes, my wife Anne is a frequent visitor as well) that it played a factor in our recent downsizing. We made sure that our new home was fairly close to the gym and that we could walk over here (and I have) in inclement weather. Thank you Healthtrax!

  • Beth R. & Trainer Tina- Glastonbury

    I can do things I never would have imagined being able to do.

    Tina is an amazing person and trainer.  I have been working with her for about a year now and am thrilled at what she has helped me accomplish.  Every week she has been such an inspiration in helping me toward attaining my goals.  She consistently goes above and beyond and is caring, incredibly professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and makes working out fun.  She knows what I am capable of (much better than I do!) and is very good at pushing me to make sure I work hard to get the best results. 

    When I started with Tina, I had limited movement in my left knee due to a torn meniscus.  Tina tailored my program to encompass that limitation carefully working in a variety of routines to help strengthen that specific area.  Today, I don't use the crutches or the brace and have cancelled the meniscus surgery. I can do things I never would have imagined being able to do.  Exercise has become a really important part of my life thanks to Tina's constant encouragement and motivation. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer and can't say enough good things about my experience working with her.

    It Doesn't Get Better Than This!

    I learned to juggle balls and clubs back in 1989.  A few years ago, I realized that I would need to improve my strength, agility, and stamina to make further progress in the world of Juggling.  I started working with Adam K. one year ago.  We were in sync from day one when he told me that he had taught himself how to juggle the Four Ball Fountain (a trick that I have only recently mastered)!

    I look forward to our weekly sessions when he carefully listens to my report of my home sessions. Then we work together to create a Plan for The Day (and the Week) to help me make further progress toward my goals.  The sets of exercises that we've compiled have improved not only my juggling skills but also my ability to carry out the usual Activities of Daily Living.

    So, my words of wisdom: find a trainer who Listens well and Works Together with you.

 
Bev North Haven Trax Training Client and Trainer Trevor being silly while Bev pushes weight sled

Bev S. - North Haven Trax Training Client

Working with a personal trainer is the best thing you can do for yourself. You are worth it, and it is never too late to start. Don’t be intimidated, just do it.

 I decided to work with my personal trainer, Trevor, because I needed help with motivation. I wanted to learn the correct way to do exercises to prevent injury. Your trainer works with you and has workout plans so you can accomplish what your goals are. When you become stronger and start losing weight you know you are doing something good for your body. 

 When I complete a training session, I feel energized and proud of myself for working through the session. You complete a tough workout, and you feel great.

 

Kim Trax Transformation Client

Kim B. - North Haven Trax Training Client

My advice to anyone wanting to begin personal training is just do it.

“Don’t feel selfish for taking the time or resources. Just schedule it, stick to it. You’re worth it, your friends and family deserve the best you. Stop making excuses (as valid as they may seem) and take care of you.

I started training because I was developing a decent home workout routine where I was beginning to add heavier weights. I wanted to make sure that my form was solid so that I would not get injured as I began to progress.

That sounds so silly now. That is the least important aspect of training with Adam.

I love being pushed to try exercises that I would never have attempted (or thought to do) on my own. The confidence that I have gained in these few months has been by far the most impactful. Yes, I have noticed a change in my body, but my confidence in and outside of my sessions is more than I could have hoped for.

My favorite part about my training sessions is the end. I love feeling exhausted and knowing that I just killed a work out. So often I am more energized when I leave than when I arrived. It is difficult to take time during the work out to reflect on your progress but as soon as it is done I’m like “yeah! I just did that.”

 
 

Beth & Her Sister Cindy- Raleigh Members

I joined Healthtrax in October and I owe it all to my sister Cindy. She has been a member for many years, and has always been a positive influence in my life.

I must say I was a bit intimidated at first signing up for classes . You see it has been years since I set foot in a health club facility. It was evident from day one Healthtrax was an exceptional place. The Group Fitness Instructors are well qualified, supportive, nonjudgmental, and truly want each member to accomplish their individual goals. I myself have accomplished 2 of my goals, leading a healthier lifestyle and having more energy!

I have learned how to correctly exercise to prevent back or shoulder injuries , and to have fun while I’m doing it!  I feel like I’m part of a family here at Healthtrax because of the atmosphere and friendly staff I’ve made new friends! I love to attend Group Groove, Group Power, Active, Centergy and Balance class. Every day, I look forward to the classes and the challenges. When I leave having been active and moving my body in classes I feel like I am a healthier person! Thanks to Cindy’s persistence for me to try Healthtrax because I’m hooked!

North Dartmouth’s Kris Constantino not only lost weight but also gained enough confidence to pursue a long-time dream of becoming a Group Fitness Instructor. 

As a member Kris had always loved participating in Group Power and Cycle Classes but now, instead of being in the back of the room she’s up on stage leading the class.  She loves teaching both of her favorites and it shows!

Rich Glastonbury Member Skiing in front of Mountain

Rich W. - Glastonbury Member

I wanted to thank Jen, my personal trainer (and the Healthtrax small group) that whipped me into the best ski shape ever!

We conquered Utah’s various peaks, that the 9 of us covered over 4 days. It took us over 120 miles of trails and over 60,000 vertical feet, with legs and lungs that never quit (and no injuries).

Would never have been able to do it without you and your training!

Deb F. - North Haven Member

In 2019, I was recovering from brain surgery and using a walker due to severe balance issues. Working with Dayton makes me accountable and continues to push me to expand my limits.

Not only am I now able to walk without a walker, I am even able to carry 50 lbs. boxes up and down stairs! At 70, I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have. My husband calls me mighty mouse!

Linda S. - Glastonbury Member

My Doctor walked into the examination room head down in my file, then looking up with wide eyes....

"You've lost over 80lbs! You are at a healthy weight!! How did you do it?"

A big smile slowly spreads across my face, it had been decades that I had heard "healthy weight" from my doctor. This transformation is all because of my dedicated Healthtrax Trainer, Connor. His knowledge, his understanding, his motivation! Connor is the best!!!

My trainer, Huw, listened to what I was trying to improve on... my golf game! Rather than use standard machines available, he’s been creative in designing a program that uses both equipment in the gym and weight movements / stretches to improve my strength, balance, and flexibility!

Sharon {Member}

When I joined Healthtrax, I was surprised at what I could and could not do. My Healthtrax membership has been one of the very best things I have done for myself.

Helen Z. {Member}
Raleigh

Back in the day, I could leg press 350 lbs. and deadlift 185 lbs. After 12 months of doing almost nothing during the Pandemic; that was what I could lift – almost nothing. Training with Huw has improved my flexibility, balance, mobility, and strength! I’m now a LIFER.

Richard {Member}
Trax Training North Haven

Richard has been a long-term client with Trax Training. He took a hiatus while rehabbing his knee and hip after taking a nasty fall on vacation last year. While working with his trainer Andy, the focus was on restoring lower body strength, mobility, and full body movement. 

Doris {Member & Physical Therapy Client}

Marcy is my trainer and my inspiration. April is my physical therapist and together they have restored my strength and mobility.  Healthtrax is a refuge for me.

Darlene {Member}

Approximately 9 months ago, I began my weight loss journey. Joining Healthtrax and having Caroline as my trainer has been a game charger to my success.

 

Paul S{Member}
North Dartmouth

I had never stepped foot in a gym.

When I walked into Healthtrax I couldn’t have predicted the transformation I would achieve here. I just want to share how much you can achieve from working out with more people.

Liz{Member}
East Providence

Wanting to feel confident and comfortable in her own skin on her wedding day, Liz stated she decided to identify and remove anything that could potentially trigger her to resort to bad habits (poor food habits, binge eating, laziness etc.) and she began to work with a Personal Trainer at Healthtrax.

When asked if she would recommend investing in working with a Trax Trainer Liz replied, “Working with  Sasha has changed my life!  He has educated, motivated and inspired me.  I would not have DROPPED 4 DRESS SIZES without him!  I would highly recommend you invest in yourself and try personal training.”

Debby S Enfield March 2021 Story

Debbie S {Member}
Enfield, CT

I have to tell this story: When I had my first Covid vaccination at St Francis Hospital the very young nurse who gave me the injection exclaimed: "Look at that deltoid! Wow you really have a beautiful deltoid (muscle)!" I told her I go to the gym. Having joined Healthtrax two years ago (I had never gone to a gym before), I met with Erin for an assessment and personal training session. She developed a plan for me that focused on the things I wanted to work on. I've been going ever since and I've made real progress. My balance and muscle strength are so much better. I've received several compliments on my muscles (which delights me as a 66 yo woman who was very clumsy and uncoordinated my whole life).

So, I say go to Healthtrax, get a personal trainer, you are worth it!

Raleigh, NC

I am Anne Platsky and I am in my 70's.  I have been a member of Healthtrax, Raleigh since 2011.  Healthtrax started offering classes in May during the shut-down.

They have been doing an amazing job. They keep everyone appropriately distanced and are constantly cleaning and sanitizing.  Being at Healthtrax has always been important for my mind, body and soul. During this difficult time Healthtrax has shined. I am so thankful for everything they have done to provide high level care. To those who have been reluctant to return please just come by and check the facility out. You will not be disappointed.

Gerry Glastonbury Healthtrax Member

Durane{Member}
East Longmeadow, MA

I started my fitness journey in November 2017. My goal was to lose weight to be able to fit into my suit for my wedding the following October. I had tried fad diets and working out on my own but with no success so I decided to get a personal trainer. It changed my life forever. My trainer Kristin held me accountable for my diet and curated a training program just for me to meet my goals. Since then I have lost 50lbs and have maintained my goal weight for the last 2 years. My diet is now top notch and I continue to be challenged by my trainer every session.

 
Jeffrey

Jeffrey{Member}
Raleigh, NC

Like many journeys, my fitness quest began with one step followed by another and then another. I’m not going to go into specifics, but I’ll just say the doctor wanted me to lose weight. I had floated between 200 and 220 pounds for many years even while I was a member of Healthtrax. I was not going consistently, and when I was there I was doing far less than I needed to. The facilities were always waiting for me, and the equipment I needed was always there and available, but, like many others, I just didn’t take it seriously. In the middle of last July, I finally had enough.

Joanne

Joane{Member}
Warwick, RI

All of my life I have struggled with my weight and eating habits. I found it hard to eat the right foods and the gym was not something I wanted to do. I always had an excuse to not start or to quit. So you ask what made me change, the picture above. That was the turning point, what to do was the question. How could I find my way to good health and happiness with myself?

Joe and Madeline Gomes

Joe & Madeline Gomes{Member}
East Providence, RI

Joe and Madeline have been members of HEALTHTRAX for over 11 years.  When asked what their fitness goals are, Joe revealed his formula for a long, healthy and happy life.  He stated, “Keep moving… you hafta keep moving, it’s so important.  I want to help my body be healthy.  Moderation is important with everything in life.  Oh… and always make up, don’t stay mad.”  Madeline agreed and said, “I always want to be with Joe so I joined the gym.  He encouraged me because I was shy.”  She continued, “YOU CAN DO IT.” are Joe’s favorite words.

Brady began his fitness journey weighing 330lbs. He didn’t feel healthy and knew he had to make a change.  Brady was determined to make a lifestyle change and reverse his weight gain trend.  His first fitness goal was to do an hour of cardio each week even if it was in 5-10 minute increments.  He now does an hour cardio each day and says it’s enjoyable!  Brady has lost over 130lbs!

Karen

Karen{Member}

“I needed an environment that was fun, challenging and sustainable.  I found that, in the Group Fitness Classes, at Healthtrax!  I didn’t know that I would love the classes as much as I do.  They are fun, energizing and engaging.  Now, I actually enjoy exercising and it has become an integral part of my lifestyle.”

Brian{PREP Member}
Warwick, RI

Within 10 days of making the commitment to join Healthtrax, I noticed a complete 180 degree turn around.  I chose to make better choices with my food consumption to drinking more water than I have in 10 years.   As you can sense, Attitude is everything..  I had one choice -  make a change or go on medications for the rest of my life and become diabetic. I was about 30 days away from falling into that mouse trap and I wanted to make a difference.

Biagio{Member}
East Greenwich, RI

Before Healthtrax, I didn’t really exercise routinely. My diet wasn’t very mindful. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted without thinking about what it was or what was in it. I would recommend Adam to a friend because his training has given me great results and a more positive feeling about myself.

Rose

Rose {Member}
East Greenwich, RI

Before I had joined Healthtrax, I had recently started an exercise regime of my own. After some time, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, forcing me to make some changes in my life. I decided to join Healthtrax, taking advantage of the Healthy Start program. I love coming to Healthtrax, and the staff are so friendly and always willing to help.

I had a wake up call one day when I stepped on the scale and saw 389. At that point I knew something had to change. From eating habits to working out consistently every day to better myself. Now I don’t have a goal. I have a lifestyle. My fitness goals and transformation were made more easily with all the great equipment at the Newington Healthtrax. As well as the great staff here that are always welcoming and friendly to any of my guest.

I never thought I would post this first pic because when I saw it earlier this year I cried for days. I am posting it as motivation to never get back there, to get up when my alarm goes off and go to the gym and to remind myself that although I have a long way to go I have already made a lot of progress.

I have to admit that prior to working with Luke I was not 'into' the gym and working out at all. I nice walk on the beach was my favorite type of workout.

My personal Coach Heather gave me this analogy regarding my physical body last December 2017; “Your brain has been guiding your body in the same broken path for years, so we need to teach it to walk a new path”.

Marilyn Folcik {Member}
Bristol, Connecticut

I came to Healthtrax almost one year ago because I retired and was getting too sedentary and gaining weight. I figured if I became involved in a program then I would be more apt to stick with it and it would get me out of the house. During my initial tour of the facility, I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the facility.

When I first started many exercises were difficult because of my knee but after 4 months I was back to competitive tennis. I had a setback due to a bone spur but once medically cleared to come back I started working with Sandra again and feel stronger than I have in years. I also worked with a nutritionist that has aided me in my weight loss along the way.

Tony

Tony Mazzarella{Member}
Hanover, Massachussets

I’ve been a member of Healthtrax in Hanover, MA for a few years and I signed up to train with Nikki Ferreira back in October of 2017.  The experience has been life changing and I felt compelled to provide this feedback.  I have always been somewhat active but I had no idea what to expect as I’ve never had private sessions.  I didn’t even know where to start but in our first meeting/interview Nikki made me extremely comfortable and took the time to understand what I was looking to accomplish. 

stacey

Stacey Modaress-Razavi {Member}
Raleigh, NC

I've always been overweight as a kid and I became medically obese in my 40s once I had my two wonderful kiddos. Dieting and Weight Watchers never worked for me, because as soon as I lost the weight, it would come right back with a few of it's friends. I tried a few gyms in the past, but unfortunately, it felt like everyone there was dressed like they were looking for a date. Sooooo, not me.


 

Steven Katz {Member}
Garden City, New York

I do not often post on Facebook, but I wanted to relay the great experience that I have had since joining Healthtrax in Garden City, NY in November, 2017. The equipment in the gym is well-varied and maintained in excellent condition. Both the gym and locker room are immaculately clean. The staff has been very courteous. In particular, I'd like to thank one of the trainers, Elliott, for his encouragement and advice on the gym floor.

Becca Baker {Member & Staff}
East Greenwich, Rhode Island

When I first started coming to the gym I was not only new to the area but I also had two small children who had begun attending a local pre-school and I decided to use my newly found time to the benefit of my health. I started putting around with a few weights and burying myself in the movie room (which I love), until finally I had gotten up the nerve to try a class.

I've been meaning to email you regarding Nico Ritirato for quite sometime. I joined Healthtrax in September, and after some consideration, decided to try Personal Training. Since Nico was the trainer with whom I had my initial consultation, I felt I should give him a try, as well. Fast forward 6 months. Nico has truly transformed me.

Erin has changed my outlook on working out forever. In the past, I only did cardio exercise.  She has taught me specific weight training routines and body weight training, along with a more effective cardio routine.  The knowledge I have gained and the results from these routines have astonished me. The confidence, how I stand , the strength,how my body has changed.  Being fit and healthy feels Great! I have Erin to thank for all of this, best decision to do personal training with her!

When I first started many exercises were difficult because of my knee but after 4 months I was back to competitive tennis. I had a setback due to a bone spur but once medically cleared to come back I started working with Sandra again and feel stronger than I have in years. I also worked with a nutritionist that has aided me in my weight loss along the way.

I have always struggled with being overweight throughout my life. After my mother passed away in 2013 from cancer, I started eating “comfort food” to deal with the loss and I gained a lot of weight and my physical appearance drastically changed. I realized that I needed to start and lose weight after looking myself in the mirror one day and realizing how much I had let myself go. I didn’t like to take pictures of myself with friends and family because I was embarrassed about the way that I looked.

I initially was reluctant joining the gym because of how I looked.  I was very self conscious of my weight, how I looked and the shape I was in.  The medical practice I work for moved next door to Heakthtrax and several of the management staff came to our building and spoke to us about the benefits of joining the gym.  I was very impressed by them and thought I would give the gym a try.  When I first visited the gym, the staff was absolutely amazing.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting one of our members Laura Fredrickson for a check in on her progress at Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness. She started her journey with Craig McCabe showing her the facility and making her feel comfortable. After signing up, she meet with Antonio L. Garcia for her Healthy Start Assessment and Inbody570 scan. Antonio L. Garcia went over realistic goals and explain how we can help as a center. I meet with Laura today to rerun the Inbody570 scan and check her progress. As I sat down and talk to Laura I was very impressed with her journey and progress. We patiently waited to see the results of the inbody570 and we both we so excited with the info!!! Laura dropped 54.4 pounds, and 45 pounds of fat. Laura dropped her body fat % by 12.5 %. Her visceral level fat dropped 11 points, from a 20 to a 9!!! Laura dropped 7 pounds of muscle which is to be expected when you dropped that much weight. She can definitely fine tune and get that back. I just wanted to show this process of how things can work when you work the process and have people who are routing for you. We here at Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness are very proud of Laura and wish her nothing but continue success!!! - Matt Wrobel, Newington

Let me start with, I had never been to a gym in my life, I hated gym class in school, and I am not athletic.  I just knew, to regain the strength I had lost due to getting older, combined with 2 foot surgeries and 2 knee surgeries in 5 years, I had to do something.  My golden carrot to actually step in a gym, was a planned trip of a life time, rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon for 9 days in June 2017.  I equally knew this trip had side hikes up canyon walls, that I was not physically able to do, and I didn't want to miss.
