Almost a year ago I began an incredible journey back to health. I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disorder and I felt that I would face a lifetime of back pain and the inability to do most anything except walking. After six months of physical therapy I decided to join St. Croix Body Zone at a friend's recommendation. From the first time I walked into the gym and talked to Joe, the owner and personal trainer, I knew that I had made the right decision. Joe really listened to me, he truly cared and he said that he could help me. He told me that in three months I would not only see results but that I would be much stronger. He tailored a work out program specifically for me and he was there from the beginning, cheering me on and supporting me. You can just tell that the gym and its members are his passion. He truly believes in helping you. Within about six weeks I started to notice a change in how I felt and looked. I was stronger, I didn't have back or neck pain, I rarely took even an Ibuprofen table and my daughter remarked that she could see my biceps! I became more confident and even joined two of Joe's classes, circuit fitness and fitness boxing, which is empowering! The gym has a great family feel about it, the members are friendly and I always enjoy being greeted by name when I walk in the door. Thanks, Joe for always taking the time to talk to me, to listen to me and also for pushing me. You have really made me believe in myself. You've made me stronger and made me realize that I can do things that I never thought possible. It is so wonderful to hear someone say how proud of you they are! Thank you Joe for brightening up my life and making St. Croix Body Zone the best gym ever!!

January 1 2011 was my moment when I said I have to get in better shape. Many times I tried but, never stuck with it..... until joining Body Zone. Joe took the time to personalize a program that fit my unique needs and abilities. His never ending encouragement and attention to making sure I was making the most of time and efforts, made me stick with it. As I got stronger, Joe again, tailored a program that would grow with me. Eventually, I started attending the classes which was one of the best decisions I made. All of them are excellent and challenge me each time I go! Now, I make my schedule around the classes. Not only I am getting the best shape of my life, but I have made wonderful new friends too!
If anyone is like me, I cannot encourage you enough to stop in and see Joe and see what he can do to get you going today...you will not regret it!
Thanks Joe for everything!

In February 2009 I joined St. Croix Body Zone to get into better shape for my wedding. I chose Body Zone because of the size and the cost, and after being a member for more than two years I've realized even more benefits. It's a small, well-equipped gym with a smaller membership, so there's never been a time when I've had to wait for equipment or change my routine due to something being unavailable. The cost is unbeatable and currently many classes are offered for members at no additional charge.

Another thing I love is the personalization. After floundering by myself for more than a year and not getting the most out of my workouts, I worked with Joe, the owner and a personal trainer, on establishing an actual workout routine. He taught me about the benefits of working out smarter, not harder. Although I was reluctant to commit so fully to taking charge of my health, it was one of the best things I've ever done. I worked my plan for a few months and then joined the boot camp, yoga, and circuit training classes - and now boxing! - and I couldn't be happier. It is so worth the time commitment and the cost of membership pays for itself. Joe is dedicated, caring, supportive, and encouraging, and he knows his stuff. I feel better mentally and physically than I ever have and I've made some great friends along the way. People have noticed and commented on the positive changes, so I know it's working!

Thank you, Joe, for all you've done for me. To those who are considering joining Body Zone, come check it out. You won't be disappointed!
