Testimonials

I have been training with Ginger and Alan for the last 2 1/2 years. I originally started just to get my core stronger because I was having back issues. Every day when I would leave a workout, I swore I was not coming back...I am glad I kept going back. I am much stronger, my strength has increased tremendously, I have more endurance, and my back is better. I feel healthy and strong again. I find the workouts challenging and I have the best group of friends that are always motivating and encouraging me. They make it fun and enjoyable to train with. We have become a lil fitfam! I can genuinely say that joining Gym 28 was one of the best decisions I've ever made.   

I was sitting on my couch a little over a year ago (June 2022), scrolling through Facebook and contemplating ways I could better myself. I was already doing workout videos at home, but I was not making the gains I wanted. I was finally ready for real change. In my mindless scrolling, I came across a Gym 28 post about a 28 day Challenge for Women over 40…talk about a sign! I shot a text to the number and got setup to go in for an initial consultation. That was the best decision I have made in my fitness journey! 

After speaking with Alan about my fitness goals, I jumped into the 10am Group Class. All I can say is, what an amazing and encouraging group of ladies!! Alan and Ginger tailor the workouts for the group to help us meet our goals. Their continued guidance and assistance has helped push me to a weight that I am happy with. I have currently lost over 20lbs so far, but I have gained muscle, confidence and a fierce group workout warriors! Man, I love this gym!!
 

"Alan is an extremely knowledgeable trainer who motivates a person to get the very best workout. He has an extensive understanding of fitness nutrition and can make great recommendations for meal plans.

I have been working with him for over 5 years and have been completely satisfied with each session. I think he is the best trainer in San Angelo because he understands aging joints and can modify the workout sessions to meet the ability of each person."

"Let Alan be your guide to a healthier you. Alan is very knowledgeable in his field. He can help you with all your fitness needs, goals, and diet. I personally have made great gains throughout my training with his help. He can help you become a healthier version of you."

"I’ve been training with Alan since early summer of 2017. Alan is a great motivator and continues to challenge me to push me to achieve my personal goals. He trains with care and compassion. He makes every session challenging. My fitness level has increased noticeably, and I’ve seen improvements in strength with heavier weights."

"My decision to meet Alan has completely changed my life! I had given up and was resolved that I was always going to be overweight. There were different activities I did not enjoy because of my weight; I hated having to ask for a table when going out to eat due to the fear of not fitting into a booth. I had to ask for an extended seat belt when on an airplane, and going to a concert was not comfortable because I did not fit well in the seats.

"I work 12-hour shifts, and I would have to spend my first day off after working  recovering...I was sleeping away my days. My weight had reached 315 pounds, ultimately causing me to have poor balance when walking.

"When I saw the question 'Did I want to get in the best shape ever and improve the quality of my life?' I thought, 'What do I have to lose?'

"I met Alan and began my journey on April 10, 2017. We began with a discussion about my goals, and Alan knew right where to start. I started with just two 30-minute workouts a week. Alan has never asked me to do anything I haven’t been able to do, and I have even surprised myself. Alan provides a lot of support and encouragement both in and out of the gym. He has provided excellent nutritional suggestions and advice along the way. I feel so much better with an increase in energy and strength levels and I am losing weight. My overall health has greatly improved.

"Since I began training with Alan, I have a much more active lifestyle and no longer waste days sleeping. I am in the best shape of my life at 50 years old. I have reached my first fitness goal ,and I'm excited to continue working with Alan beyond reaching my final goal. I would highly recommend Alan Anderson with Gym 28."

"Alan Anderson has trained me for over three years. I joined a group of ladies who met up to four times weekly to lift weights, do interval training, and even box.

"These activities were far out of the realm of my experience. I am an English teacher, and for the past three years, I was also attending graduate school. My days consisted of mostly sitting--to grade papers, plan, and to complete homework of my own. I craved activity, but I felt intimidated by the gym environment and didn’t know the first thing about using the equipment.

"Lucky for me, in my quest to grow more active, I met Alan and the women he trained. I began attending sessions, and I always felt welcomed, encouraged, and, more importantly, challenged by the workouts. Through Alan’s patience and guidance, I gained confidence in benefiting from a variety of exercises, using machines, free-weights, and even pulling tires. Imagine how fierce and powerful doing those activities made this bookish teacher feel. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to feel strong physically and to feel comfortable working out.

"Alan has been a blessing in my life. He creates challenging workouts, and I leave each one feeling exhausted but also energized by my accomplishments. His patience and guidance make even the most arduous activity doable. It seems amazing to me to be able to navigate a leg-press, flip a tire, and manage hanging abs.  

"Being a part of his workout group has provided me both a healthier lifestyle and lifelong friends. I know I can depend on Alan and the women in our group to cheer me on when I’m pushing past the levels of my endurance.

"Alan provides excellent help and expertise as he helps us through workouts. Additionally, he keeps his clients informed about meal planning and exercise approaches through weekly e-mails that help us to achieve in ways beyond our regular exercise regimens. He truly cares about our health and well-being. If we have a question or concern about a vitamin supplement or meal choice, Alan either knows how to guide us or does research to discover how to address that concern.

"I love putting my ungraded essays aside several times a week to attend Alan’s sessions. I no longer feel self-conscious about entering the gym to become a stronger, more active, healthier me."
