Client of Month - David Votta - Fitness Together North Buckhead (Atlanta)

Why do you like Fitness Together?

I like the one on one session in a setting in which no one else is watching you, unlike at the gym.  You're not having to wait on a piece of equipment and your trainer actually knows before hand (weeks at a time) what exactly you will being doing routine wise.

Tell us some of the results 

you have achieved:

I had been working out on my own for a couple of years on and off, so I thought I was in good shape, but I lacked the definition because I was always working the same muscle groups.  Now that its springtime I am wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts and people really notice the definition in my arms and legs.

Tell us about any hobbies you may have:

Now I would have to say fitness is my hobby because I am always doing something around that.  But when I am not, my most favorite thing to do is hang out with my Golden Retriever.  I volunteer with Adopt-A-Golden Atlanta and help foster abandoned dogs.  Also, building a wine collection.  I enjoy collecting (and of course drinking) wine that I have tasted while doing winery tours on my vacations.

What city and state are you from?

I was born in Northern Virginia, outside the metro DC area.

Tell us about your children and/or pets:

I have a Golden Retriever name King.  He is what we call a “permanent foster” due to his medical issues.  King make’s certain no children enter my house.

What is your favorite exercise?

Squats…No, not really; but I can certainly see the benefits of them!

What is your favorite healthy food?

Fresh fruit, though I am very partial to pineapple.

What is your favorite “bad” food?

Chocolate Chip Cookies…why, do you have one for me?

What is your profession?  How Long?

I am an HR professional for a large hospital.  It’s more of an analytical role as it relates to budgets, staffing, and special projects.  I have been at the hospital now for 13 years. 

What is your favorite movie?

August Rush

How did you discover Fitness Together?

I was fortunate to hear about FT through a Groupon offer they did.  Of course I checked them out and found Kelly’s CNN video.  I was fortunate that his FT location was right by my office.  Dennis & Katie are both excellent trainers and I have a lot of fun training with them, sure I groan at times, but it’s well worth it
