Destination Fitness has been a dream come true for our family. From the moment I connected with Jill, I felt heard and understood in terms of my son's personal training needs. She worked with me to identify the right personal trainer who could come to our home two to three times a week to do the exercises recommended by his orthopedic doctor. Not only have they been extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule, but the personal trainer, Christi, is absolutely incredible with my son. She makes exercise fun and has worked wonders with my son. He has a whole new attitude about exercise and looks forward to his training sessions now. As a single mom who works 12 to 14 hours a day, finding Destination Fitness has been such a wonderful blessing! - A young client's Mom
