Members that Inspire Us


Merle Siegel joined Bristol Total Fitness in September of 2015. She attends the gym 4-5 times per week and trains with Adriana Ferns. Making the gym part of her daily routine has been helpful. “I never thought that I would actually look forward to coming to the gym. Adriana has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. She has shown me that I am capable of exercises that I never imagined myself doing and has become a true friend and mentor”. Merle has quite a few goals this year stating, “This year I will be stronger, braver, kinder and unstoppable. This year I will be fierce!” Congratulations Merle, we can’t wait to see you achieve this year’s goals!
Brendon Garrity joined Swansea Total Fitness in February of 2016. He joined the gym needing to lose weight for health reasons. Brendon weighed 275lbs and has lost 88lbs. His fitness tip is to stay consistent even when you may not be noticing a change of any kind; as long as you push yourself, stay with your program and watch what you eat – it will go a long way toward your goals. Brendon says, “The staff at SWTF are really nice and helpful. I love that the gym is not too big, never overcrowded and is always clean. All in all I can definitely say this is the best gym experience I have ever had thanks to Total Fitness!” Keep up the good work Brendon!
Alex Joyal has been a member of Seekonk Total Fitness since May 2013 and Jodie Somerville has been a member since July 2014. You know what they say, couples who train together stay together! They met in school at Penn State and moved here for work. Alex works for USPS and is in Law School at RWU and Jodie is a Pre-K teacher. When they first started dating, Alex shared his passion for fitness with Jodie and now she also loves coming to the gym. Alex even has goals of doing a body building show this year! In their free time they enjoy going out to eat, movies and Netflix and they definitely earn it.
Brian Dorsky joined Dartmouth Total Fitness in 2008 and makes it in at least 5 times a week! He always enjoyed sports but discovered his new love for weight lifting/power lifting. When asked about his favorite lift – “Squats – All squats!” Brian might be a fan of squat variations, but at a power lifting meet, he was able to break the deadlift record and total record in his division (New England). Brians fitness tip is for people to adopt a routine they enjoy following and will actually stick to. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint” when it comes to working towards your fitness goals. As for his thoughts on DTF – “Best staff around.” Congratulations Brian!
