    I found Active Life Fitness almost two years ago. It has been life changing to say the least. I was never much of an exercise enthusiast but found as I was aging I needed to do something to maintain my health and well being. Since starting on my journey I’ve improved my balance, stamina, energy and strength. Marty the owner is extremely patient and knowledgeable and his goal is to help people like me , averse to exercise, to overcome that resistance work to improve their health and he does just that. He is positive and encouraging while pushing you to do a little bit more. The staff who work for him are just as enthusiastic about the work they are doing helping people like me improve their health as well as perfect their technique and advance their skill. Together they are building a community of healthy happy adults that I’m happy to be part of.

    I started at Active Life Fitness after a battle with breast cancer. After a few months, I found my balance was better, I have more stamina, and most importantly, I no longer suffer from as much brain fog! ALF has done more for my overall health than I could have ever imagined!

    Great workouts with awesome trainers in a safe and fun environment! Marty and his team are very experienced, knowledgeable, and invested in their clients happiness and success. They work with you on all fronts of nutrition, exercise, and strength training to provide a personalized approach to health and fitness. And the other people there are so warm, friendly, and like-minded. A true community of people trying to get better and stay healthy!

    Active Life Fitness' approach to training has made an important and meaningful difference in my health and fitness. Excellent trainers, well designed routines, and an attention to the fitness needed of people over the age of 40 make this an excellent gym. The small group sessions, cardio classes, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and excellent equipment all add to the outstanding aspects. Truly the best.

    Wonderful gym that has helped get me back into weight training. The owner and staff are exceptional and so helpful. They watch your every move and fine tune your form so that you never worry about the possibility of getting injured (which had been the reason I had left a previous gym). The trainers provide a great overall workout personalized to you that always includes a warm up, core work, strength training with an optional cardiac workout finisher. It is the best spent hour of my often long days and though I am a relatively new member I am already feeling like I have more energy and am quickly getting back into shape. I can honestly say I look forward to my workouts! Do not hesitate to give this gym a try- you won’t regret it.

    When I met with Marty I told him that if hot mess was a medical condition, that would be my diagnosis. I’ve got painful arthritic knees, heel pain, back issues, and I was a year out from shoulder surgery. What prompted the desire to start working out, though, was my diagnosis of osteopenia. That scared me into the gym! Marty has trained me well aware of all my issues and with care to listen to how my body is feeling each day. I feel much stronger than I did a year ago. I’ve been able to travel and hike and walk much easier now. I love that it is a small gym that is not crowded and that all the folks are “mature” like me. I’ve never felt out of place or intimidated at all. Marty and the entire staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a very nice atmosphere in which to work out.

    At my age, I was looking for a place to help me get back into shape and Active Life Fitness fit right into my plans. No loud music, great instructors and a very solid exercise program. I look forward to attending my sessions three times a week - I’d recommend Active Life to anyone looking to get into shape - the welcoming atmosphere makes that so much easier.

    Two months ago I made the call to ALF. What a great decision! The staff and trainers made it easy to get back to the gym. The trainers are knowledgeble and patient making sure you are preforming the excersises correctly. I have met so many nice people in the small group training that I look forward to going. The cardio classes are challanging but lots of fun!! Thanks ALF for making me feel better physically and mentally!

    ALF has inspired me! The coaches/trainers are capable and understanding, and the owner and admin are as friendly and flexible as can be. ALF is the type of place that makes you want to succeed! I could never get into a fitness routine before, but now I look forward to every session. I cannot recommend ALF enough! Go now… you won’t regret it.

    Active Life Fitness has changed my life for the better. I always hated exercising and rarely went to the gym. Then two years ago, I joined ALF and never looked back. The owner, Marty, is a wealth of knowledge who always has your best interest at heart. The staff is awesome! I have worked out with every trainer and can honestly say, they are all well informed, knowledgeable and extremely patient. They meet your needs no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I urge anyone who is looking for a different approach to exercise to give ALF a try.

    I joined last year for a six week challenge. I got more benefits from those six weeks than I did going to a ‘big’ gym for six years! The coaches are great and very easy to talk to and they know a lot about fitness! I’ve met and become good friends with other members. I always look forward to working out because they have made it challenging but fun . The physical and mental health benefits are amazing! Thank you ALF!

    I am 72 years old. I have osteoporosis. I joined the gym to improve my upper body strength. The classes are small, the individual attention superb, the individualized program focuses on one’s needs. After a 10 minute group warm up you follow your own program. There are always one or two coaches guiding you and making sure your form is good. Every one is friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. I am delighted to be part of this gym.

    Let me start off by saying that I have never been a gym person. Within the last few years, I have started to gain some weight and started feeling old. I decided that I really needed to join a gym to lose weight and get back in shape. I joined Active Life Fitness and I can actually say that I look forward to the training and cardio classes. They make it fun while making sure you are doing the exercises correctly avoiding any possibility of getting injured. They create personalized workout plans according to each person’s abilities. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Active Life Fitness has made my life so much better!

    I never enjoyed exercising. I always thought that some day it would just click and I would be training for marathons and buying lots of workout gear. Well, in my 50 some-odd years on this planet, it never did. I just wrote it off as something that I just wouldn't be doing in my lifetime. A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. I was very surprised as I had always considered myself a fairly healthy person. As I was contemplating my options, a friend told me about ALF. I figured I had nothing to lose even if I did not stay with it . My first day was 3/16/23. I was amazed at the welcoming atmosphere from the entire ALF team. They were encouraging in a realistic way which made me see improvements in my progress but kept me from injuring myself. Last week I went for a follow up bone density scan where the doctor was thrilled to report SIGNIFICANT improvement. I'm sure it was all due to the fitness program at ALF. Have I learned to enjoy exercising? No, I have not. But since the day I joined ALF, the only classes that I missed were because of my vacations. That must mean something.

    I joined early November and I absolutely love it. Marty took a great deal of time talking to me in the beginning and introducing me to the gym.Ileanna is so helpful when scheduling and pleasant when arriving.The trainers, David, Linda, and Debbie are great and very helpful and always willing to help with form, posture, and giving praise. I think I hit the jackpot in a gym!
