You don't have to take our word for it...
I am an Orthopedic surgeon who has been practicing in Bend since 1995. My practice focuses on shoulder pathology and athletic injuries. I was educated about High Intensity training through my one-time patient, Stephen Schaffer, and his wife, Paula. That was nine years ago and I have become a vocal supporter of this training method. I have trained with Kelly Engum at Living Fitness for the last four years. I routinely encourage a supervised strength training program to my patients. High Intensity Training produces safe, effective and efficient results. Not only is a once a week workout desirable for most of our busy schedules, but it is sustainable over the long haul. Living Fitness offers a safe and effective way to invest in your health. I encourage you to visit them.

My husband and I have trained with James Engum at Living Fitness for more than 5 years, and very simply love it!
I have been a “gym rat” for many years, and enjoy working out, but as my life became busier, I had less time to spend in the gym. The high intensity training that we do with James gives great results without wasted time. I feel stronger than I ever have, and think that if there is a “fountain of youth”, strength training is certainly part of the program. My husband, at 68, has made great improvements in his strength, and overall feels better since starting our training program. Also, the facility is terrific and has excellent equipment. To top it off, James is a great person and makes our workouts fun! He pays particular attention to individual limitations, and modifies exercises appropriately to avoid injuries.
As a physician, but also as an aging female, I KNOW the value of fitness, and more specifically, resistance training. Loss of muscle mass leads to lower metabolism and difficulty maintaining a healthy body weight. Lack of weight bearing exercise (along with other things) contributes to the risk of osteoporosis. In addition, there are the aesthetics of being and feeling strong and toned and healthy!
I feel that we have made a wonderful investment in our bodies by working at Living Fitness, and hope to continue for years to come.
Very Sincerely,

I started training with Jason Hardy months ago. I love the program! One day of strength training and a day of motion training every week. This program has been super effective for me, seeing body changes in the first three weeks.
Jason and the crew have come up with an exercise philosophy that utilizes some of the equipment in the gym, and also using your own body to really challenge different muscle groups. The motion training is different every week-burpees, medicine ball throwing, LOTS of pushups, pull ups, squats, killer ab workouts just to name a few. It is super fun and I always look forward to what Jason has in store for me.
I am hooked on Living Fitness!! Thanks Jason for pushing me every week.....your the best. Jen Shaw
My husband and I began training with Jason at Living Fitness June 28th and it has, and continues to, strengthen us in ways that neither one of us could have ever imagined.
What makes Living Fitness different than any other kind of workout…? I can’t tell you the science of how and why it works, other than it works!! We love the once a week commitment and the results that are coming from it, which are utterly astounding!! I have never in my life been one to frequent gyms or even entertain the thought of exercise until now… My husband and I are so hooked because the feeling you achieve in strength, health and energy is so liberating, it’s like obtaining a new lease on life.
We love life and look forward now to things that we thought were no longer a part of our life. We’re beginning life again with more zeal and excitement than we ever thought possible.
