I’m a 65 year old woman who, for the last 10 years or so, was exercising mainly by walking. Not overweight, felt young! But realized that time is marching on and that my body needs more than brisk walks. Started at Thrive a few months ago and couldn’t be happier! Brian, Stephanie and Luis are amazing. They know their stuff inside out and have a warm and encouraging approach that made me feel at home immediately. This is making a huge difference to my life. So grateful I found Thrive. More...

During my first workout at Thrive, I lost my balance and fell. Rather than embarrassment, the three other people there shared they had all fallen at the beginning and were now so much stronger which is why they keep coming back. And they're right...after only 5 sessions, I am noticing the difference. Thanks Stephanie for making me get up and continue my workout journey. More...

I'm so happy with my decision to join Thrive Fit. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and motivated. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and always push me to reach my goals. The workouts change on a regular basis to keep things interesting. Not only have I seen amazing physical results - I am stronger and leaner, but my energy levels have also soared. The supportive community here makes every workout fun, and I genuinely look forward to coming in. Thank you, Thrive Fit, for creating such a terrific environment. More...

Where do I begin! Being a member of Thrive has been one of my best decisions. I walked in to Thrive Fit one fall morning, hesitant, looking for information. Although active, I had never been part of a gym. Brian the founder/owner/coach was both warm and serious - And something else that stood out to me: I felt that he had confidence (in me!) that I could reach the fitness/health levels I was hoping for and struggling to describe. The results today: Best health I've ever been in, stronger, better sleep, growing knowledge about fitness and nutrition. And immense gratitude for the team of young people who work so hard to make Thrive a community and a welcoming space for everyone. I recommend Thrive programs (fitness, nutrition) to all.the people I care about. More...

I received a pamphlet in the mail with a $97 offer for 1 month of training & I decided to check it out. Initially, I was apprehensive because of the small space & it was semi-private environment. After talking to Brian (the owner) & him asking what my fitness goals were, I figured I would give it a try. I felt he & I really hit it off & I really enjoyed working out at Thrive. The trainers took things slowly for the first 3 sessions just to get me acclimatized. Then based on my progression we upped things a bit without going overboard. The staff are really personable, knowledgeable, very genuine & take great interest in their client's success. The other clients that shared the space are also pretty cool too! More...

I've been working out here for a few years. I had a heart attack about two years ago and am convinced I survived because of the training and health I had because of Brian and his team at Thrive. I'm back with them after my cardiac rehab and feeling even better than before. I'm not into body building just being in good health so I can enjoy my life to its fullest. Thrive gives me that.

Love this place! Everyone really knows their stuff. Getting a great workout. I'm in my 50s and I really needed to start paying attention to my health. The workouts do the trick for me. I figure if I'm going to really exercise, then (for me) I don't want to negate the benefits by stuffing myself with junk foods. (I still enjoy all the foods, but in moderation)I'm 6'4" and was tipping the scales around 260 at the beginning of summmer. Now, I'm in the 240's and the needle is still heading south. Six weeks so far ... I'll update at six months. More...

Brian and his team are doing a stellar job! Joining Thrive has been one of the best decisions this year. Brian customizes plans to an individual and pays specific attention to personal goals and current fitness levels, making my fitness plan mine only. I love being a part of the Thrive family! More...

These guys are the best. I've worked with trainers before, but have never looked forward to my workouts the way I do with Thrive. I've been working with Brian and Francis for about 4 months now, and have not once dreaded going to the gym. My overall health has improved, and they've created a program that I actually enjoy and look forward to, in a fun and friendly environment. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. More...

If you are looking for a place that will motivate, encourage, support and most importantly, provide a custom training experience just for you, then Thrive Fit is a perfect solution. The trainers are experts in their field and used a training methodology that built me up from the ground again. My back pain is almost completely gone and I can play with my kids without being worried about hurting my back again. The support from other members is also something that I have never experienced at another gym. In my opinion, this is truly a one stop shop for the tools we need to live life! And as a bonus, the coaches are nice too! More...

I have only been going to Thrive Fit for a short time but I have been thoroughly impressed by every interaction I’ve had with them: from how Matt handled my initial inquiry, to the prompt follow up from Stephanie, the extraordinarily thorough assessment and customized program development by Brian, to the outstanding coaching by Francis. Even their scheduling App is efficient and easy to use. They’ve taken the time to understand my goals and work within my constraints. Best of all, I could feel the results immediately with workouts that leave me feeling stronger, and more balanced and ‘aligned’ throughout the day. Great work team! More...

If you're looking for knowledgeable coaches, positive atmosphere and accountability, look no further. I've been working with Matt for over two years now and I can't express how thrilled I am with my results - both mobility and strength. I absolutely love the fact that Matt, not only creates a costumized workout plan based on my individual goals, but he also takes the time to explain the benefits of each exercise listed in my program plan.
