Tidewater Fitness

Fantastic experience: When I first met with Jared at Tidewater Fitness for our consultation I told Jared that the number one problem I was having was being held accountable in my fitness plan. The desire to better myself physically was there, but the execution on my part was not. In the two years prior to training at Tidewater I could see a steady decline in my lower body, core strength, and cardio. I had put on 50lbs out of nowhere and was really starting to see the effects in the outdoor activities that I like to enjoy during my spare time. In our meeting Jared showed me how we were going to target those areas specifically and work towards my goal of being in better shape for an upcoming hunting trip in Montana that I would have that fall. After about a month and a half of training one day a week, a spot opened for me to begin twice a week sessions. That is when the results really started to show. Jared's detailed approach and individual specific approach really started to make me feel the success not only physically but mentally as well. I could feel my body beginning to change and change for the better. Fast forward 10 months and I have gone from 232lbs to 207lbs but more importantly I could see the results in real time when I dominated the mountains in Montana. I can say without a doubt that I could not have done the trip I did this past year without training with Jared at Tidewater Fitness. He does an incredible job of helping his clients identify what their realistic goals are and then devising a plan to attack those goals and turn them into achievements. Thank you Jared!!

Fantastic experience: When I started my fitness journey, I found that my biggest roadblocks were just getting started. Understanding what I needed to do to reach my goals and staying consistent. I also felt like I was not getting results fast enough, which was frustrating, particularly when the numbers on the scale went the wrong way. Jarred at Tidewater Fitness really helped with all of that. He worked with me to develop a weekly plan of nutrition targets and exercise habits that were easy to comprehend and fun for me to complete. Also, through weekly accountability check-ins Jarred helped me stay positive and on track. When there were weeks that I didn’t hit a goal or target, Jarred was there to help me stay focused on the end game. He helped me understand that changes do not happen overnight. And instead of chastising me when I had a setback (and there were many!), he made me feel better about them, which gave me the confidence I would need to refocus. He also helped answer the many questions I had about fitness, nutrition, and at times, he helped explain how even though life can sometimes interfere with our goals, those moments are temporary, and my goals are still obtainable. Tidewater Fitness no doubt has made my life better. Jarred has helped change the way I think about what is possible and to not be so hard on myself. It is clear now, thanks to Tidewater Fitness, that my journey doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be started. If there is a bump in the road, that is okay, just keep going. Tomorrow is always a new day that will bring me closer to my goal! Working with Tidewater Fitness has helped me loose over 20 pounds!!! But more importantly than the weight I think, is the knowledge, understanding, and confidence I gained through our time. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Jarred. Thank you, Tidewater Fitness. 10 Stars!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Prior to working out with Jarred at Tidewater fitness, I struggled with core strength and proper techniques/body mechanics for doing basic daily tasks. This weakness, combined with fear of injury, kept me from getting out and doing not only the necessary things in life but also the fun things. I have worked with Jarred for over two years now. He has patiently and methodically increased my strength, flexibility and confidence. It has dramatically improved my ability to perform daily activities and my sports pursuits. I have recommended him to many of my friends. Can't say enough good things about Tidewater Fitness and Jarred English!

Fantastic experience: Before going to Tidewater Fitness I struggled with my weight as I was very obese and was very frustrated because on my own I simply could not lose the weight. I became very unfavorable in the eyes of my spouse not to mention in my own eyes. Jareds' personal customized approach to my goal of fitness through weight loss and improved stamina has allowed me to lose 30 pounds and waist decreased by 4.5 inches in 6 months. The key to this is not just seeing him but also taking his advice of having a lifestyle that includes a proper diet and workouts (that he customized) on my own time. With that said I can still have "vacation" days (meaning I can eat what I please) because I have (with Jareds' help) truly changed my lifestyle. I'm 63 years old and know what I'm supposed to do, however, without a personal trainer like Jared I simply would not do it! He is the difference. Thank you Jared. Clint P.

Fantastic experience: My biggest struggle with weightloss was consistency and lack of intrinsic motivation. I couldn't stick with exercise let alone healthy eating habits. I was so frustrated and stressed with major late night cravings. It was affecting me mentally, I just wasn't strong enough to overcome. My stomach was my biggest focus area. Jarred's program helped because he kept it simple and he even sends reminders. He asked me to keep two new habits and that was all I had to focus on. I feel empowered now; over defeating cravings and I feel set free from the vicious cycle. In just 90 days I've lost 11 pounds and my waist has decreased by 2 3/4 inches. I definitely recommend him because he wants to see you succeed, he is patient, kind, and flexible with your schedule. Let Jarred help you!
