What Are Women Saying About ShapeXpress?
Visiting ShapeXpress is the highlight of my day with the FAR Infrared Sauna being the treat at the end of every visit. The staff is wonderful, welcoming and helpful. I like to push myself through the circuit routine, which they change almost daily. It’s fun to look at the board, see what the program is for the day and then see how I can spice it up with free weights. The sauna though is the reason to keep coming! The sauna has improved the condition of my skin and increased my energy level. I noticeably miss it if I haven’t gone in a few days.
One of the best and most eye opening experiences though has been developing relationships with the other members at the gym. I’ve been a member for 10 years at Bally’s and I can count on one hand how many times people have talked to me during a workout. The time in the sauna allows time to chat, unwind, and discuss the day or trials and tribulations we have with husbands or kids, or just to get advice.
The combination of the circuit training, aerobic equipment, classes, large private showers, FAR Infrared Sauna, provided towels, all the possible necessities from hair bands to lotion, and the people make this gym a unique place worth experiencing to see for yourself.

At the end of 12 weeks, I had lost a total of 19 and 1/2 pounds and just under 9 inches, with almost half of that being in my hips. I never felt that I was over-exerting myself when I utilized the equipment in the circuit, and I always enjoyed the warmth and relaxation of the FAR Infrared Sauna. I chose to continue to eat and drink things that I would under normal circumstances, partially because I didn’t want to feel that I was being deprived and partly to really challenge the effectiveness of the gym’s system. I think one of the benefits of the sauna is that it suppresses your appetite somewhat, so that if you do your workout after work, you don’t feel as hungry for the “evening meal,” and you are therefore consuming less calories at the end of the day…ShapeXpress is a great place for women’s only exercise facilities.

I absolutely LOVE the Infrared Sauna at ShapeXpress. I did a lot of research about the benefits. Far Infrared heat breaks down cellulite, trapped water, fat, and wastes as part of the detoxification process. I feel great after a 15 minute sitting. It helps me overall (and my skin really looks great after using it as part of my workout regimen). It is a great workout booster, but at the same time it is relaxing. I say to my friends that it is “my reward after a great workout!” I highly recommend it.
I have searched high and low after moving to Beaverton from Scottsdale, Arizona to find a women’s gym that was equal to what I experienced from the Scottsdale, Arizona ShapeXpress, but to no avail. So, when I found out ShapeXpress will be opening in Beaverton by March 2007, I joined immediately as a Charter Member knowing the benefits I received from being a member when I lived in Scottsdale, Arizona. ShapeXpress was like a retreat for me! As a member in the past, I looked forward to my daily 30-minute workout on specialized equipment that was actually fun and challenging at the same time. Then, I had an absolute treat of going into the Far Infrared Sauna. The Far Infrared Sauna is like no other sauna I have ever been in. It was invigorating and the health benefits are numerous. Then, I would get ready for my workday in the upscale spa-like environment where I would shower, blow dry and curl my hair, apply my make-up and be ready for my day. Sometimes I would even have a tan session or a massage. ShapeXpress provides use of towels and lockers and even had nutritional products made just for women. Everything I needed was in one place. ShapeXpress Clubs are designed expressly with women’s needs in mind, you can tell the minute you walk in the door. I just loved it. I was in the best shape I have ever been in when I was a member. I met great friends and always felt welcomed. It truly was the best investment I ever made for myself in the past and I am extremely pleased to be a Charter Member again and benefit from ShapeXpress here in Beaverton, Oregon.

I have felt the best in my life since starting ShapeXpress. I have seen quick and lasting results as well as an increase in energy. I love that I do not get bored and that the equipment changes all the time. Everyone is so nice and motivating. I have dropped 33 inches, 50 pounds and a whopping 4 dress sizes. It takes dedication and consistency to get results, but all the hard work is worth it! I LOVE SHAPEXPRESS!!

ShapeXpress has transformed much more than just the physical aspect of my life. It has brought me much more than the pride in my accomplishment of losing 20 pounds and looking better than I have my whole life. ShapeXpress has impacted my life in a spiritual, social, mental and emotional capacity all in one. I would have never met my best friend if it weren't for the FAR Infrared Sauna! I wouldn't have the consistent drive to look, feel and be better if it weren't for Janice and her positive, genuine staff here at ShapeXpress. I am a single mom/college student with a very busy and stressful lifestyle... ShapeXpress has given me peace and joy! I thank God for this exemplary organization!

I've been coming for 2 years and love the fact I've met so many new people. The cardio equipment in combination with the 30 minute circuit has made a big difference in my upper arms and legs. I am so glad I found ShapeXpress.
— Kris McColloch, ShapeXpress Menlo Park CA
I come to ShapeXpress four times a week. Usually I include the circuit, cardio and free weights in my workout. It takes me about one and a half hours to complete a full workout. I changed my diet by increasing proteins, cutting back on carbs and eating small meals. I also drink Energy Booster as an appetite suppressant to keep feeling good. I've gone from a size 12 to a size 6/8! To maintain the weight loss and continue feeling strong, I think you need to work the circuit three to four times a week for 30 minutes. It’s like most things – you get out of it what you put in.

I joined SX to lose weight and it has helped my appearance, self esteem and energy levels. Give the exercise regime a try and you will see a difference.

I joined ShapeXpress Mequon in March of '05. I had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in August of '04 and knew that I needed to begin a serious exercise program. So for most of those first months I did the Circuit and a mile on the treadmill. The elyptical escaped me, and so did my so-called exercise program. This year, I decided to get serious and happily the staff at ShapeXpress was more than happy to work with me. I began weight training with Cindy the first week in January and have been excited with the results. I can actually see results after three weeks and I realize that I feel better than I have felt in probably 15 years! I can't wait until I see my doctor again. I love the help and support that everyone offers at Shape Xpress, and because it is just for women you really feel a part of the organization. Everyone is in it with you. It has certainly changed my attitude about what I need to do to stay healthy. After all....it is my life. Just remember, the first five minutes are the hardest!
