Travis Speegle
Owner of Fitness Together - Stockton
Author of “STOP WORKING OUT!”

Travis Speegle was that uncoordinated, “rollie pollie” kid that got picked last for all the team sports. Finding success as a competitive swimmer (likely due to his buoyancy), Travis learned early in his life that physical fitness was a truly effective way to increase self-esteem, energy levels and quality of life. This spurred a lifelong passion for discovering the most effective and efficient means of improving fitness levels.

Travis earned his first certification as a personal fitness trainer in 1989 from CSU Hayward and began getting impressive results for individuals as young as 15 and as experienced as 95. Following nearly 15 years of experience, continuing education and involvement with all aspects of the fitness industry, Travis became frustrated and started his own company,
Evolution Fitness Coaching. Consumers were being deceived, misled and in many cases lied to by savvy marketers looking to sell the latest magic pill, product or diet that simply doesn’t work to produce real, long lasting results. In an effort to get true fitness information into the hands of a widespread group of consumers, Travis wrote the book STOP WORKING OUT! (2004 Wasteland Press).

Following up on the continued success of the book, Travis realized that he needed a venue in which to serve a greater number of clients on an individual basis in which fitness success could be guaranteed. In October 2005, he opened a Fitness Together location in Stockton, California with a team of extraordinary coaches that provide first class, one-on-one fitness training in an unparalleled, private training environment.

Lisa Speegle
Owner / Marketing & Operations

On one long commute in January 2005, Lisa realized that she had to make a change! After spending more than 10 years in corporate marketing she was overweight and tired of living in the corporate “hamster wheel”. She started by making better decisions about her diet and putting an end to her fitness excuses. Lisa began studying fitness and hired a personal trainer, no not her husband (couples cannot effectively train each other). She soon realized consistency and accountability were the true keys to fitness.

In May 2005, the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified Lisa as a personal trainer. While enjoying her new Size 6 wardrobe, Lisa realized the effect fitness had on her life and wanted to help others rediscover their youth and vitality. Combining her extensive business background and her passion for health & fitness, Lisa decided to leave her corporate marketing career and join her husband’s company, Evolution Fitness Coaching.

Lisa is actively coaching individuals in-person and online towards a healthier lifestyle. In 2006, she became a Z-Health certified trainer and started a free advice/motivational blog, “101 Reasons Why You Can’t…”. In addition, Lisa continues to consult with a variety of businesses regarding business development, marketing and sales.
