I wanted to take a moment to let you know what an important role Club Fit Aquatics has played in our life the last half a decade. When our daughter Olivia came to us, helping her learn -- as well as having fun -- how to be safe and confident swimming was one of my goals. With the help of John and Gerald and the team, we surpassed that goal -- at age 7, Olivia is in swim clinic and swimming with all her heart every week.

Further, when she resists learning anything new -- anything at all -- I need only remind her that she could not even put her face in the water when we signed up for Aqua Tots, but now she swims at the pace of kids older than she is, and has a great time doing it. Every kid needs to know that she can learn -- Club Fit Aquatics is proof!

Thanks for a great program -- it's one of the core strengths of Club Fit and the reason I cite the most when recommending the club.

Parisi Speed School helped me in all of my sports. It has made me a lot faster and stronger. I am so much more flexible and I know how to use all my muscles and body parts. It has made me feel so good about myself and made me realize that if I work hard, I can do anything. I love when I get tested and I move up on the board, it just shows me how hard I am working. I am so happy that I started Parisi Speed School because it has taught me so much about what I can do with my body! I also want to thank my trainer "Nick" for helping me reach every goal that I set for myself. He is always so happy to see me and he is so positive when working me so hard. Parisi has made me into a better athlete and I am so proud to be asked to be athlete of the month!

I have attended Club Fit since 1985 because of a program called Aerobics started by Charlotte and Syd Berman. I am currently a member mainly because of a program offered called Dance ‘N Funk. This unique program is not offered in any other health club that I know of. Choreographed routines are so creative and innovative never boring and repetitive as I find Zumba can be. New dances taught every 8 weeks keep the program exciting and fresh. The instructors, Amanda, Sherri, Tracey and Amy bring life and energy to this program. They are very dedicated to the program and each dance is so original, I often feel like I am on Broadway. This program has often carried me through many personal challenges and hard times that life often serves up. Whatever was going on in my life, I made my way to DNF no matter how upset, sad or tired, the energy from the instructor and fellow classmates brought me through and after class I was in a better place physically and emotionally. My daily life is better having this wonderful creative outlet. Please give this program the credit it deserves. Thanks to all of the dedicated instructors who put their heart and soul into this program. It really becomes a family sharing their love to dance.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for planning my son Joseph's birthday party. It was amazing. Michelle and Kaitlyn were professional yet down to earth. They were able to control 16 five years olds and keep them happy and safe. I was apprehensive at first when planning the party because I know the children I invited were energetic. Both Kaitlyn and Michelle were fast and effective when transitioning from the maze daze to the jump house and the slide. In less than three minutes the floor was cleared and the jump houses were ready to go. The same went for dinner and cake. The children never had to wait more than three minutes. I was very impressed. I will be back for more parties at Club Fit and I am sure the parents who observed this party will strongly consider Club Fit when looking for venues for their children's parties. Thanks again for a great party and making Joseph so happy.

I choose to become a member at Club Fit primarily because of Dance 'N Funk's unique and innovative program. No other local health club/gym offers such a wonderful class.

The choreographed dance routines are contemporary, versatile and so much fun. It's a great cardio workout. I leave the class in a pool of sweat and with a big smile on my face. Since the routine's change frequently, I look forward to every new session.

I'm addicted!

You do a great job! Facility is sparkling, everything works, staff, all staff! From café to laundry perky and helpful. You think of details: little towels, flip flops in the store, etc. Nice that lifeguards at pool police lanes so I don’t have to! Thanks for a great environment.

I wanted to let you know how throughly I enjoyed my massage with Jayne last Friday. It was wonderful, relaxing and really helped sooth my neck/shoulders. I felt like a new person. I think I actually fell asleep on and off throughout the massage. Jayne was friendly and her explanations were great! I have Jayne's schedule and will be scheduling another massage soon!

My husband Richard and I have been members of Club Fit since 1990 and I have enjoyed using all the facilities of the Club. I started my personal training with Stef Fucci in January 2011 and have continued with her for a number of reasons.

First, you can see just by talking and working with Stef that she truly loves what she does and wants the best for her clients. She is also very knowledgeable in the nutritional aspects that work hand in hand with any exercise program.

Second, she makes the routines fun and enjoyable with just enough pain so that you know that you are working out to your maximum potential. Because I have some neck and back issues she always modifies the routines to make them safe for my benefit.

Third, I believe Stef exemplifies what Club Fit is all about. She is a true good will Ambassador who promotes the best that Club Fit has to offer its members. I have even taken some of Stef's spinning and Pilate's classes and she is the reason why her classes are always filled to the max.

I believe it is the excellent teachers and personal trainers who bring the members into the Club, without them the Club would not be here today.

These are just a few of the numerous reasons why I do my personal training with Stef and I will continue to do so in the future. Stef is a true asset to the Club and to the clients she trains.

Kristine Tanner has always been there for me since I first became a member at Club Fit in 2011. She initially took my medical history and talked to me about my goals. I was very interested in the Dance 'N Funk classes but Kristine recognized the need for strength training. She took me through the Help Rx, exposing why I should not use some of the machines due to prior surgeries and ruptured disks in my back and neck. Kristine was equally as thorough with various machines and the weights. She stressed proper posture and use of the weights. She felt the cardio arc would be a better choice for me than the elliptical machine because of the damage to my hips. Her advice has proven to be invaluable. And Kristine remains available still today for any questions I may have to keep my routine safe and beneficial.

I have known Ann Marie for several years' at Club Fit. Ann Marie is consistently very courteous, patient and friendly. She provides useful and accurate information. Ann Marie always remains calm and cool even during the busiest of times. She multi-tasks very efficiently. Overall, Ann Marie is a strong asset to "Club Fit."

I wanted to say thanks again to you and Club Fit for donating the gift card to support the Westchester Youth Dance Ensemble. I happened to be the person who won the gift card in the silent auction! Being one of the biggest fans ever of the club, I wasn't going to let someone else win the gift card without a fight! Much money was raised through auction items like these to support the dance company, and I thank you again.

I began training with Lauren in the fall of 2012. Since beginning our twice-weekly sessions, I have noticed a marked improvement in my overall fitness and physical well-being. I began training with a specific focus on preparing for my first race, and Lauren's expertise was invaluable. From showing me how to properly use equipment to advising me on a training schedule, Lauren was informative, accessible, and professional. With her help, I met my goal of completing my first race, and quickly set my sights on running additional courses. As my fitness needs grew with my improved capabilities, I voiced new goals to Lauren, and she responded promptly and appropriately with new challenges. She is flexible, working with my schedule and needs to create a truly individualized program to address my areas of concern. Lauren has consistently inspired and motivated me to achieve my fitness goals, making exercise not a chore, but an enjoyable activity with a knowledgeable friend. As someone who would not have previously considered herself as having an affinity for physical activity, I now feel empowered and in control of my future physical well-being. I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone seeking a personal trainer (in fact, I already have, and my friend now trains with Lauren weekly). Her accessible, knowledgeable approach to fitness, combined with her friendly demeanor, make training with her a joy.

For the past ten years, I have begun most of my days the Dance 'N Funk way!

Actually the name should be changed to Dance and Fun because that is what it is. The instructors create dances that are fun to do as well as being a good workout. We get the aerobic workout as well as a mental one. The thing I like best about the class is the caring atmosphere that has been created between the instructors and the class.

We, (the morning class) owe a lot to Sherry, Amanda, Amy and of course Syd!

I joined Club Fit almost 6 years ago because my weight ballooned to 210 lbs. I needed to do something. I worked out for a year on my own and lost about 25 lbs. After reevaluating my workout routine, I was not getting the muscle toning I expected. I was also suffering from chronic back pain. During this reevaluation I decided to try a personal trainer. Being around the gym way too much I was able to see that Nick Mastri might be a good fit because of his expertise as well as personality. Nick has given me the tools I needed to achieve the results I was expecting. He not only motivated me but also corrected many of my bad habits I picked up watching other gym members. He developed both a warm up as well as a post work out stretching routine that has proven to be invaluable in preventing injuries. Nick has an innate ability to know when to push and when to hold back. This June I will have been working with Nick for 5 years. I have attained muscle tone that I would never have thought possible at 59 years old. My weight in now 175 lbs and owe this to Nick. He has the personal and professional tool set that enabled me to achieve the goals we set during our first session. It's not often that you meet a trainer with the right mix of motivation and the ability to push me to limits I never thought reachable. Nick is not only an expert trainer but has become a good friend.

Thank you again for all your support with the Fire & Ice Skate-a-Thon. All of the participants really appreciated the 3-day passes. The gift card brought in more in raffle sales than any other raffle prize! The Skate-a-Thon was a big success and raised approximately $6,000 for the Dysautonomia Youth Network of America.

I've been coming to Dance 'N Funk since 2002...I had no dance experience, but I enjoyed the challenge. Unlike "Dancing with the Stars," I'm not star - I just enjoy the music, the steps, to fantastic choreography and most of all the comradery - I'm hooked!"

- Betty Barton - Member since 2011

I just wanted to tell you how much I love Jen! She is truly an amazing trainer and an asset to Club Fit! She goes above and beyond to help out even when she is called away on a phone call. She handles it with finesse and is still calling out to me while timing me on her stopwatch! Since I have been training with her I saw a dramatic drop in fat and a huge amount of muscle gain. I can't tell you how pleased I am. I just lost 72 lbs and have 70 more to go. I just had to say something about Jen, I'm so happy with the results I'm getting!

As I was dropping off a couple of dresses yesterday, I was thrilled to see the full rack of beautiful dresses already there and to hear that a rack had been filled earlier in the week. Having just gone prom dress shopping with my daughter and suffering from sticker shock, I was glad to see that many girls in Westchester would be helped by your efforts! Thanks for undertaking this project.

I have been a member of Club Fit for over 30 years and I wanted to say what a star employee you have with KP. I have know her since she started working at the club and have enjoyed and admired her work ethic. She has always been most helpful to the members and she does it with a great smile. Not everyone enjoys their job and it can show but KP really likes working with people and she is smart to boot. Club Fit is lucky to have her in their employment.

I have been doing a MELT class with Marisa for about a month or so now, and it has made a huge difference on my body and my performance in tennis. I am feeling so much better in my body and when I play tennis immediately following a MELT class, I am almost preoccupied by how open and good I feel playing! My hips were open and my range was better with my swing. I also felt more balanced and lighter on my feet. MELT is a wonderful experience and I love how the difference in my body is immediate and observable. Marisa is a great instructor and I am now enjoying MELT in the comfort of my home and practice a few times a week.

Club Fit has provided my children with a safe and caring place to go for the last fourteen years. I have networked at Club Fit and made great contacts from just going there. My life and health is wonderful because of Club Fit. So I want to thank you too. My son had all his birthday parties here and we can't wait for the next one. Not one day passes without us praising Club Fit and all it does for us and the community.

Dan has done a great job of organizing and managing the men's league. On a weekly basis he checks on player availability and assembles competitive matches for each Saturday. His attention also allowed available players to compete during the holiday season. Good work!

As someone who has been in the men's Saturday league from the beginning, I have a long-term perspective and I wanted you to be aware of how effective Dan Reisner is as the League's Coordinator.

Dan has literally kept the league alive and thriving with his commitment to excellent communications, personal involvement and a sincere desire to make the Saturday league a satisfying and well run experience for all of us.

I wanted to acknowledge Dan's great contributions this year and how well respected and appreciated he is by all of the players and the members of the League.

- Howard Pavony - Member since December, 2009

 I think it was a really great call by Rodrigo to put Dan Reisner in charge of the "Men's Tennis League." His enthusiasm and disciplined approach to scheduling and match making has made the league a very pleasant experience. He is always available to listen to suggestions and solve any issues that arise. Many members have expressed their satisfaction with his selection.

Over the last week since hurricane Sandy struck, I have experienced something quite unusual in a 'health club'. The goal of the entire (very dedicated) staff at Club Fit was clearly to make everyone feel welcome, whether they were members or guests, and you have succeeded spectacularly!

The fact that you opened your doors to friends of members who were able to have hot showers, clean warm towels, and every amenity they could think of, was so wonderful! From the young people who run the nursery/energy center to those who fed us many times in the cafe, we are so appreciative of the entire staff.

The locker rooms were still maintained beautifully despite the number of people using them, and the entire place continued to run almost as if nothing bad had occurred outside of it's glass doors.

We have two very little children who felt comfortable and safe, as we did, and we all made new friends this week too!

Thank you again, for everything you have all done to make this tragedy seem like just a bad dream. 

- Kimberly Goebel - Member since September, 2012

I know we haven't met but I am a member at Club Fit - Briarcliff (and have been since age 14, when I was a lifeguard in the old pool) and I just wanted to reach out to you to say what a fantastic job you are doing. Since you joined as General Manager, I've loved getting your email updates and watching the business become more 'modern,' if you will. You handled Sandy like a champ! Keep up the great work!

- Jillian Kelleher - Member since January, 2010

Since Jack's enrollment in the Parisi Speed School I'ven seen tremendous improvement in his confidence and motivation in sports which seems to be carrying into his classroom producing a great self-esteem in his nature. Thanks!

Thanks again for all the hard work setting up and running, what is becoming "The Gold Standard" in Fall Basketball Leagues! You had high level teams and players, playing hard every week - it was fantastic! Several D-1 prospects participating and more being developed. Congrats Jen and thanks again Club Fit!

- Larry Lawrence 

I have seen a big difference even in the short amount of time that Sean has been doing Parisi. He is a completely different athlete. He is faster, has more endurance and is trying harder than I have ever seen him before. It has made such a difference that I think Parisi is just as important as going to Lacrosse practice.

My family and I have been members of Club Fit for 15 years and have achieved inspiring results both physically but emotionally. We as a family have built long lasting friendships while achieving goals toward strength conditioning and weight loss. The personal training team highly qualified, knowledgeable and result oriented. The staff is professional, caring, sensitive and extremely member-centered. They treat people as individuals as opposed to other clubs that have a “factory mentality”. Club Fit is a premier fitness environment. Club Fit management is constantly improving every aspect; whether it be the equipment, the locker room, pool, showers, etc. Club Fit is truly the place to be for all singles, couples and families…

I signed up my Travel Baseball team for the Parisi program to work on the core fundamentals for running and fielding. I have seen an amazing transformation in the boys agility, movement and speed.

We have become a more confident and aggressive team on the baseball field. I highly recommend this program to all athletic teams.
