Members that Inspire Us


Whitney Sutherland joined Bristol Total Fitness in May 2017. She started off as a participant in Adriana’s Sugar Shakedown, and she now attends the gym 6-7 days per week. Since starting her journey at BTF, she has lost a total of 61 pounds and 10% body fat! “Stick with it, it isn’t easy and doesn’t happen overnight. Maintain consistency and you will achieve your goals.” Whitney attributes much of her success to the help of her trainer, Adriana: “She guided me, she held me accountable, she believed in me, she pushed me. Having someone there that wants it just as bad as you is an invaluable asset.” Whitney, you are an inspiration! Congratulations!
Claudia Bussiere joined Swansea Total Fitness in March 2016. She is a true testament to being the best shape you can at any age. Claudia’s consistent training regimen includes working out 3-4 times a week. After reaching a milestone birthday, Claudia decided to get into the best shape yet, and she has accomplished that! She says, “There may be times you feel you just don’t have it in you, but persevere, challenge yourself and the benefits will always outweigh the alternative!” Claudia likes that the SWTF staff is helpful and the gym community is friendly and motivating. We are definitely going to use your advice and “Never Quit— Persevere!”
Lisa and Raul Vicente joined Seekonk Total Fitness in September 2012. As former athletes, fitness has always been a focus but inconsistency with their diet and exercise lead to weight gain. In January of 2017, Lisa and Raul committed to being healthier after many false starts. Determination and the childcare room has given them the time to shed fat and gain muscle. Lisa and Raul’s goal is to stay devoted to becoming a better version of themselves. Their greatest joy comes from being able to outrun their three children. Congratulations Lisa and Raul you earned it!
Maryann Krane joined Dartmouth Total Fitness in 2014. She attends the gym 2-3 times per week and trains with Stacia Abdow. “Stacia’s Fit Body Boot Camp group training is great!
