FitRec Member Spotlight & Testimonials

Our goal at FitRec is to provide excellent customer service and assist you in the steps to positive life style changes. Below are a few examples of members that have been positively changed by their experience at FitRec!

  • Ewa Zasadnia & Marta Czubiak
    Members since March 2014

    • “When I have time, I like to exercise because it keeps me away from all the other things going on in my life. Working out calms me down and makes me happy. I like to exercise in a group because I have better motivation from other people and coaches which is why the LesMills program is my favorite part of FitRec. I’m so happy and proud that my family and I are FitRec members. FitRec has helped me keep a healthy lifestyle.” “I take my kids very often to Kid Rec where the staff takes care of them. There’s lots of things to do for the kids, like playing sports, doing crafts, etc.”

    • “When Moraine Valley Community College opened the FitRec, my true weight loss journey started. Weighing 317 pounds, I spent the first two years there mostly working on cardio. In 2016, a good friend of mine put me on a weight lifting regimen, and this turned into the next stage of my weight loss journey. After seven months, I was down 70 pounds. I was hooked. My visits became a regular HABIT. Weight loss is a process, but the process is always made easier with the support of others. The staff at the FitRec Center are like family. They are always there to spot me when I need it, and their encouragement always welcomes me back. Thanks to everyone at the FitRec I was able to completely change my life. Through their support, I wish to encourage others too. It’s never too late. With the partnership of the FitRec you can all accomplish any goal you set for yourselves just as I have. Fall in love with the process of weight loss with the help of the FitRec staff and the GAINS WILL COME!!!”

    • “I’ve been using the Fitness Center at Moraine for 16 years. I get along with everyone here and I enjoy hearing their stories. I usually do some cardio and weight lifting while I’m here. I consider coming here my job and I’m working towards a better quality of life.”

  • John Ilas
    Member Since 1997

    • “I have been a member of the Moraine Valley Fitness Center for 19 years. I make use of the bikes, treadmills, and free weights. I also hope to get to the pool soon. I continue to workout at the Fitness Center to keep me out of nursing homes and wheelchairs. There are good people here. They notice when you’re gone and ask where you’ve been when you return.”

  • Steve Lovecky
    Member since March 2014

    • “I love coming to FitRec because of the staff and bonds I’ve gotten to form with them. Everything here is always clean and orderly, everyone works hard to make sure things are always put back where they need to be, which you don’t find happening a lot at other gyms. It’s a great environment to workout in.”

  • Gail Hossin
    Member since March 2014

    • “At the end of March 2014, I joined the health center. This was the first time I had set foot in any health center, let alone join one. Within a couple of days, I had taken a cycling class taught by Overtis. That initial class was a struggle. I had a weak core. Consequently, I started coming to the club at least five days a week to improve. I continued taking cycling classes and using the many machines to strengthen various sets of muscles. After two months, I do well in the now more advanced cycling classes and attend Ultimate Conditioning classes, as well. Incidentally, I ordered a dress online in my usual size and had to return it because I lost inches by working out.”
