Real Stories of Transformation at GET'N FIT
"You've invested in your career, your family, and maybe even your hobbies. But have you invested in your body's future?"
This question resonates with many of our members who once stood where you might be standing now – wondering if it's too late to start, if they can really make a difference in their health and mobility, or if they'll feel out of place in a fitness setting. Let their stories inspire your own journey to better health and active living.
The Power of Starting Now: Whether You're 35 or 75
Research shows that age-related muscle loss begins around age 30, with decline rates of 3% to 8% per decade accelerating after age 60 (Volpi et al., 2004). But here's the empowering truth: it's never too early – or too late – to invest in your body's future.
The Unstoppable Spirit: Neal Reicks, 77
For the past 17 years, Neal has been showing us what's possible when you commit to your health. As a retired Industrial Arts Teacher and amateur roper, he's proving that calendar age is just a number. "Having the GET'N FIT team to help me set goals, make sure I'm getting in all the steps and that I'm using my body correctly... has helped me to prevent injuries," Neal shares. "Through strength training and Yoga, I am able to continue roping competitively and be as active as I want to be."
Neal's consistent training has maintained the strength and agility to pursue his passion for team roping and rodeo. "Competing in team roping and rodeo, I invest time and money in quality horses and equipment, so it only makes sense to invest in myself. The training programs and conditioning designed for me at GET'N FIT have improved the flexibility in my shoulders and back and helped improve my winning percentage."
Does Neal's active lifestyle inspire you? Are you wondering if you can maintain – or regain – the ability to pursue your passions? Schedule your complimentary MAPPing (Multi-point Assessment for Personal Programming) Session to discover how we can help you stay in the game.

The Science Behind Starting Early
Recent studies have revealed compelling benefits of early intervention in fitness:

Group exercise programs increase social connection scores by 45% compared to individual activities (Journal of Aging and Mental Health, 2024)
Consistent physical activity can delay cognitive decline by up to 10 years (Neurology Today, 2024)
Empowered Independence: Sue Reicks, 75
For over 21 years, Sue has been redefining what aging looks like. A retired teacher who enjoys knitting and spending quality time with her family, Sue embodies the idea that later life should be about enjoyment and ability, not limitation.
"The benefits from my GET'N FIT membership are many," she reflects. "I don't measure my successes by a mirror or scale. Body parts I didn't know I needed to use to move and feel better are learning to do their jobs. This takes pressure off the compensations my body had made for years. I wish I had known how much yoga and personal training have affected my life when I was much younger."
Are you ready to take control of your health journey? Let's talk about how our personalized approach can help you maintain your independence and vitality.
"Age is not a barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind." - Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Active Living Without Limits: Kris Toyne, 71
For over 20 years, Kris has proven that fitness isn't just about exercise – it's about living life fully. "Working out at GET'N FIT is five days of doing something just for me. It's prevention for heart disease and Alzheimer's. I really don't want to have to get new body parts either."
From golfing to working cattle, laying irrigation pipe to spending time with her great-niece and nephew, Kris is ready for whatever life tosses her way. "I truly appreciate all of the continuing education the GET'N FIT Team does in order to help us with our individual issues... Without my membership, I would not have the variety of exercise or the self-discipline to keep at the level of fitness I enjoy now."

Resilience Personified: Renee Rundall, 69
In just a year and a half, Renee's journey has become an inspiration for those dealing with chronic health challenges. Despite fibromyalgia, allergies to most medications, and complications from knee replacement, she maintains an infectious positive attitude and continues to push forward.
Her selfless service as a dedicated mother, grandmother, and active church member shows how personalized training can help manage chronic conditions while maintaining quality of life. Her child-like sense of wonder and curiosity, combined with her gung-ho attitude toward trying new things, demonstrates that challenges don't have to define your capabilities. Renee tells us that her "membership is so worth the investment because I have discovered that exercise enable me to manage and I hope someday, overcome the chains that pain has put me in. I can keep going because of the help I receive at GET'N FIT. I look at the cost of the membership as much less than the price of one Fibromyalgia prescription. The membership is the medicine that makes this disease manageable."
