Quickfit / Quick fit fitness Studio you are officially on my shit list. On Tue Jan 24th an agent of yours was seen flyering cars in the Ideal Market / Vics Parking lot on Broadway. Ok, so you gotta get your message out somehow and even though I'm sure this is illegal as technically the parking lots in question are private property I am somewhat sympathetic to your cause.
But when I read the glossy full color flyer I was flabbergasted !! The leaflet proclaimed that they can help me loose 1-4 inches in less than an hour - sweet Jesus, what a crock of utter shite!!
Let's see why I'm whisking Quickfit to the top of my shit list and why so much about this leaflet is just plain WRONG.
- This is Boulder, hello ...... there are no fat people in Boulder, have you ever seen a fat person in Boulder???? We don't allow fat people within the city limits.
- Home surgery is illegal and dangerous (how else are you gonna get rid of 4 inches in an hour other that hacking it off your belly with a machete)
- Don't leave shit on my window - I have to exert energy to physically remove it, then dispose of it in an environmentally friendly, green, organic, vege free manner. Multiply this by 100, the number of shitty leaflets you handed out and you can see how much productivity was wasted on Tue. Time we will never ever get back!
- This is Boulder, we like to think of ourselves as somewhat environmentally conscious - don't leave dead treats on our window without good reason especially if they contain illegal and outlandish claims.
- This is a great lesson in how NOT to start a new business in our little town!!
Why write an article, haven't I got better things to do???

They are a complete scam. They had a booth at the Boulder Wedding Showcase, handing out flyers for a 12 week bridal bootcamp and offering a drawing to win said bootcamp. I won! Yay! Not so much. I went in for a consultation, filled out a health survey and they determined from that alone that I'm pre-diabetic, and have a thyroid problem. You can't determine such a thing without blood work. They are completely irresponsible and just after your money. But guess what, if I spent $4K they would fix my lifestyle for me! Wait...what happened to the free bootcamp that I won?

QuickFit Boulder is such an awesome program! I have lost 12 pounds my first
4 weeks, did a medical specific detox and now eating a healthy mediterian diet.
The body wraps are fantastic and an added benefit to the fitness and nutrition
program. The bodywrap technician took 6 before measurements and after the
wrap re-did all the measurements. My first wrap I lost 5 inches. They are great
at explaining how this works, so if you don't know how cellulite is stored in the
body, you would think the body wrap would not work. I have now had 3 bodywraps
and all of them have had excellent before and after results. My husband is so
happy I am doing a lifestyle changing program finally for this first time!!!!!!!!!

Richard,
I personally invite you, dare you even, to come into QUICKfit for an herbal spa wrap... for FREE!! You will be astounded by the results attained by the body wrap. Some people have lost up to 12.5 inches in one session. This wrap is entirely botanical, and focuses on detoxifying your fat cells, so the inch-loss is PERMANENT!! Feel free to call me with any questions at 303-993-6447, or come by our brand new studio in the Whole Foods shopping center on 28th and Pearl.
