RiPT Fitness — Local services in Bainbridge Township

If you’re considering Dustin’s program please take the time to read what I am about to say. I am 33 years old and have spent my entire life being overweight. I actually dropped out of high school my sophomore year due to being bullied for being heavy. I stopped riding horses due to my weight, which was my passion. I often said to myself I’m going to do something about this. I just never delivered. I researched fasting, weight watchers, south beach… you name it I convinced myself I was going to try it. Although that’s just the thing I never did follow through with anything. Back in late October I came across one of Dustin’s Facebook ads. It intrigued me as I had just started about a month ago using my peloton bike I purchased. I had a mutual friend with Dustin and I asked her if she would recommend Dustin. She spoke extremely highly of him and his program. I decided I would send a message. That’s when my life changed forever. I met with Dustin he took his time with me, never made me feel uncomfortable due to my size or lack of knowledge when it comes to anything healthy. Once I met with Dustin, I explained to him that there is absolutely no way I will attend a work out class until I feel I can keep up. He was understanding and respectfully urged me to do so. I of course did not. He developed a plan for me, and my goals. He outlined a complete program for me, down to my daily calories, peloton workouts, in home workouts and even a planet fitness workout. Not only did he do that for me, he knew I was uncomfortable coming into the class setting with what I felt would be full of a bunch of extremely healthy and fit people who wouldn’t welcome me (so far from the truth) Dustin actually joined me at planet fitness and worked out with me and showed me how to use the machines properly. HE DID THIS ON HIS OWN TIME! Who does that? Dustin does. He has 100% been my accountability partner through out this journey. I have now seen my body change in ways I never imagined possible. To be honest I always wanted bariatric surgery, my husband’s insurance wouldn’t cover it. I used to see that as a curse, when really It was a blessing. Since the end of October, I am down about 50lbs and cant even keep up with the inches. I have not even had the urge to “cheat” and eat unhealthy for the holidays, or cheat days. Dustin has changed my life, and I can’t urge you enough that if you are trying to become healthy… TALK TO HIM. I am in no way “rewarded” for my review I just really want to share my story because if you knew me before October…. You would know what a complete life style change this is for me. About a month ago Dustin asked me to come to one class, he made that a goal. I accepted. I took Tara’s Sunday morning class. She was amazing, the class was amazing, the workout was INCREDIBLE. I had never seen such a high number for calories burned for me. It felt good, actually it felt amazing. Since then I have committed to 3-4 morning classes a week. I can’t get enough! I supplement with my peloton now. Dustin heard me that day we met, he made me feel as though my health is just as important to him as it is to myself and my family. I am crushing my goals, sure there are days I struggle a bit with my calorie counting but I am in this to get to my goal! Dustin, his team, his program is second to none. His passion is helping people live a clean, healthy lifestyle and it shows. By the way did I mention… I even took part in a 5k in November. WHAT! — at...

I’ve been a member for almost 6-months now and all I can say is that I have never felt more at home in a gym! The other members are the most friendly, funny, and genuine people I’ve ever met. We joke around with each other like we’re family because we are family. The same can be said for all of the trainers. They are always professional, knowledgeable, and in 100% support of each and every members personal fitness goal.

When I first joined, I felt intimidated that I’d be viewed a “certain way”. I assumed that my goals wouldn’t line up with others. I’m lean and scrawny and was seeking a trainer to help me put on 10-20lbs of weight, rather than lose weight. When I finally committed to an initial 8-week program, my trainer personalized my eating and exercise plan with my exact body type and goals in mind, using both their gym classes, combined with a few off site workouts in my home gym to accommodate my location and travel constraints. She checked in to review my notes from EVERY WORKOUT and adjusted where she saw fit. In my first 8-weeks I was able to gain just under 10-lbs in a healthy and sustainable manner!!! 💪🏻

I can’t recommend RiPT Fitness enough! Sure, it’s another gym full of exercise equipment. But I guarantee you won’t find a better group of trainers or workout partners than you’ll find at RiPT! 🏋️‍♀️

RiPT is special because every single person there is competing with themselves to be better every single day. Not just in fitness, but all aspects of life. Through victories and setbacks, we all push hard together, we all workout together, we all laugh together, we all encourage each other, and we all get RiPT together!!! The energy and enthusiasm is just contagious! 🏃🏻‍♂️

I can’t believe I waited so long to pursue a healthier lifestyle, and I’m kicking myself for not finding a support team like RiPT sooner to help me achieve my goals. If you’re waiting for another day to start investing in yourself, DON’T! Come get RiPT with us! 🔥 Can’t wait to see...

I cannot tell you how this gym and the trainers have changed my life. I have been struggling with my weight and confidence since the birth of my youngest, 5 years ago. I have gone up and down in weight and could not find a program that I was truly accountable to.

I saw an ad on Facebook about a 42 day challenge and I was nervous b/c it sounded hard, but it also sounded like it was going to make me face exactly what was going on with my body. At the point I was at, which was my heaviest, I knew I had to be done. I knew I had to work on getting healthy to prevent health issues. I was too young for that, and I finally made the decision to try it.

I called Dustin while I was on vacation with my family and he immediately made me feel comfortable and hopeful which was strange b/c it was the first time I had spoken to him. I met with him the day after I got back from vacation.

My initial meeting was actually super emotional b/c as I mentioned early, I had to face where I was. Dustin measured me, weighed me, but most importantly, Dustin talked to me about my goals and my future. It was hard to face, but had to take a look at exactly where I was so that I can see where I wanted to be. And Ript Fitness and Dustin did that for me. I truly felt hopeful that this could all change with their support.

I followed the 42 day plan and within 42 days I lost 16 pounds and 16 inches and close to 4% body fat. I have continued on the program with another goal that I look forward to meeting. I would NOT have been able to do this without Ript. I am in contact with Dustin every couple of days for accountability and he coaches me on my nutrition and sends me my workouts.

I am a mom of 2 and work full time and this program is the best I have ever tried. This program is NOT a diet, but a healthy lifestyle change. There is absolutely no way to fail on their program unless you do not put the work in.

Thank you all for helping me...
