Review Our Member Testiminials
"I have been a member of Smart Strength Fitness since 2006. I had been losing weight on my own, but I wanted to increase my weight loss by using the different types of cardio machines in a gym. I was somewhat intimidated at the thought of working out in a gym - I still had a long ways to go to reach my weight loss goals and I was self conscious that everyone there would already be so "in shape". However, from the moment I walked in the door at Smart Strength Fitness and met the owner, Carl Ettlinger, I felt comfortable and at ease. Through a consultation with him, I outlined my goals for weight loss. In addition to my gym membership, I also decided to utilize his services as a personal trainer. I have been a member at various gyms over the years, yet I have never had the support and encouragement I found through him and Smart Strength Fitness. His professionalism, constant encouragement and CAN DO attitude helped me achieve goals I had never thought possible! In addition to losing unwanted pounds, I also began to shape my body and within the first 3 months I saw incredible results. He also provided me with nutritional plans and other tips to achieve a COMPLETE healthy lifestyle. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to join Smart Strength Fitness, whether they are trying to lose weight, or sculpt their body through strength training. It is my opinion that the services Carl Ettlinger and Smart Strength Fitness provide to the community are invaluable." Haven Overman
