SUCCESS STORIES

"I would like for you to know how much I appreciate the staff at Eclipse Fitness.  Several weeks ago I had a total knee replacement.  Rather than going to group therapy, my Doctor gave me approval to workout at your facility.  The encouragement and guidance that you and all of your staff gave me has resulted in rapid recovery.  In fact, my doctor said he had never seen anyone regain use of their knee so fast and with the flexibility that I have.  This has been a great experience for me since I am now in much better physical shape than before my surgery.  Shirley and I appreciate your guidance and friendship."

"My husband and I moved out to Rockwall in June of ’08. Being both chiropractors, overall health is very important to us so we immediately began working out at Eclipse. Since that time, the gym feels like a home away from home for us. Their staff is by far the friendliest, most down-to-earth and approachable staff I have ever been around in all my years of gym memberships. Having a background in Kinesiology myself before pursuing chiropractic, it amazes me how much I am constantly learning from their passionate and dedicated staff.

I began training with Lori and she is the first trainer that takes the time to not just tell me what to do, but explain to me why and how. As an athlete and doctor, this is priceless to me. My husband has had similar remarks about the vast knowledge and expertise of Scott whom he has been training with.

Eclipse has a variety of weight training options for everyone ( I love the Free Motion machines) while maintaining a very clean, organized and energetic atmosphere. Also, I have to mention the view. Its rare to find an elliptical machine with a view of the lake! I am so impressed with the passion of the owners, Frizz and Scott, in serving and pleasing their members. They are always asking for feedback on aerobics classes etc, and they actually listen and accommodate when they can. In my opinion Eclipse is the ultimate total package: well-educated, motivated staff, amazing, top-of-the-line equipment and facilities, wide variety of aerobic class options all while maintaining a personal, friendly atmosphere.

I would not hesitate to recommend Eclipse Fitness to anyone who is looking to improve their life in all areas of health, short and long term. Here you will be expertly guided through the process of how to achieve health with motivation and support the whole way.”

In 2007, I had a total of five surgeries; and, spent thirty-six days in Dallas Baylore Hosptial. I had been, for my age, healthy person; and at the same time a member of a health club.During this time I dropped from 186 lbs. to 146 lbs., a loss of 40 lbs. Needless to say I was very weak--weak from weight loss, but primarily weak from muscle loss.

To say the least, this was a very low time for me. Low in the sense that I could hit a golf ball only 150 years (my favorite past time) with a drive when I could hit a driver 220-230 years prior to my surgeries. It was at this time my daughter, Virginia Hodges, suggested that if I would use her trainer for three months and agree that I have been helped, she would pay the trainer. Although I have been a member of a health club for many years, I have never had a trainer. Virginia introduced me to Jim, and I began my training two days a week. Jim started with me slowly as he was aware of my recent medical history.

Yes, I started slowly as Jim took in consideration my age (82) as well. Slowly, with his program and with noticeable results, I was not only beginning to feel better, but also beginning to show muscle strength. This has continued; and now after eighteen months I am back to 175 lbs. My muscular strength is much improved. Yes, I am back to my distance with my driver; and feel great for an almost 84 year old.

I have been a member of this gym nearly since its inception 6 years ago. In that time, Frizz and Scott (the owners) have consistently offered an outstandingly clean facility with over the top customer service. I’ve also had the pleasure of having Jim Floyd as my trainer. Jim is a constant source of motivation and expertise. If you’ve had enough of the corporate, meat-market gyms crammed with muscle heads and desire a first class gym loaded with friendly professionalism, then Eclipse is for you.

Daniel Hale, my personal trainer, get results. I consistently exceed my goals by following his fully engaged plans and instruction. He has designed a unique training program for me, which he regularly modifies, that yields remarkable improvements in strength, endurance, and muscle definition. I run at least four miles a day on all services without discomfort in my joints or lower back thanks to well-developed core muscles and other supporting muscles. My clothes fit great, and at 45 years of age, I bench press about 70% more than when I was training at 20 years of age. I feel great. Daniel has trained me three to five times a week for over a year and I will continue to renew my contract with him. (I went through five trainers at another fitness center within the year prior to meeting Daniel). Our mutual confidence and enthusiasm actually makes training fun. He takes safety and injury prevention seriously and always recognizes signs that indicate a potential for injury and takes immediate corrective action- I’ve never experienced anything more than general soreness. My lifestyle has greatly benefited by reaching a high fitness level through Daniel’s knowledge, experience, and passion for his profession. If you’re wondering if Daniel can train different age groups, ask my Dad about his success with Daniel.
