Active Life Fitness Personal Training: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Great workout and feeling great thanks to Marty !
Thank you, Carol!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were invited to a HBO movie premier at Lincoln Center in NYC in 2022. However, since I had let myself get completely out of shape and overweight during COVID, I could not fit into my dress suits. It was humiliating to need to shop for bigger clothes. I turned to Active Life Fitness (ALF) for help. When I joined ALF, I was out of shape and overweight, but was determined to make changes. The staff at ALF took into account everything I had been doing and made practical lifestyle and nutritional suggestions. Between August, 2022 and November, 2022, I lost over thirty pounds, changed my body composition from flabby to lean muscle, and did it with the safety of dedicated personal trainers and pre-planned workouts. I will admit that my results are atypical, because I worked my butt off. I started out one-on-one training with the owner, Marty. I was at a "rehabilitation" level of fitness and needed a lot of ground work. Marty walked me through every exercise, tailored both the weights and the exercises to my prior injuries and abilities, and got me up and moving safely. I did a lot of cardio. A LOT of cardio. After a month of personal training, I transitioned to the regular classes. ALF is unlike any gym I've been to. If the words "group class" or "group fitness" make you blanch, you're not alone. I was skeptical. But these classes are not like other gyms where the instructor is at the front of the class with a mic and bumping techno beats while you try to keep up and not embarrass yourself. At ALF, each person in the class is given their OWN set of instructions that matches their progress, with a full outline of what exercises to do, all supervised by the personal trainers who oversee everything from setting up your weights on the big bars or trap bars to offering encouragement at the end of each workout. They offer minor corrections on your form, but otherwise you are working out on your own -- but with a few other people in the building (class sizes are small and capped) who are going through the same regimen, like you're all suffering together and supporting each other, comparing which exercises you like or don't like, making jokes, carrying on. It is literally a community gym, and the personal attention and constant care via text or email let me know that I am supported by admin and trainer staff at all times. In addition to regular workouts, ALF offers occasional fitness challenges to reorient my goals, and make the workouts actually mean something in a personal, visceral way. ALF is always challenging me to challenge myself. When I first joined, Marty asked me if I ever wondered why some folks age poorly and others seem fit into their 70s or beyond. The investment I am making in myself today has lasting benefits, and I don't want to be the old man in the recliner under a blanket wondering how I became so feeble. I am building a fortress against aging, one brick at a time, and you can too.
Thank you, Andrew for your amazing testimonial. We are so glad our personal trainers have helped you with your transformation! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym!! I feel so much stronger…5 months & counting!!
Thank you, Robin! We're so glad you are seeing great results!
Fantastic experience: I’m new to ALF but wanted to share my experience! I’m 3 weeks in and super impressed with the trainers at ALF. They are always watching, making corrections or praise. I always feel challenged and leave feeling great. I am not a gym rat type of girl but the trainers at ALF keep me coming. Three weeks in and already see changes in my strength and body. Shout out to the trainers David, Linda & Debbie for being so amazing!!
Thank you for your kind words, Melissa! We're so glad you are having a great experience with our gym and personal trainers. We look forward to seeing your continued progress!
Fantastic experience: Having been a member of the ALF community for almost a year, I can honestly say I look forward to every training session! It has helped me to stay disciplined with regards to my workouts and healthy food choices. The classes are small enough that each trainer keeps my form correct to avoid injury. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking an encouraging support system for like minded people.
Thank you, Sandy! You've been doing a great job and you should be very proud of yourself for being consistent with your personal training sessions and disciplined with your nutrition! Way to go!
Fantastic experience: I joined ALF in February and I can’t say enough good things about them. I never liked the big box gyms. You’re just a number in those places. After 8 months at ALF, I’m stronger, have more energy, and my physical and mental health have greatly improved. If you’re looking for a small group setting where the all the people are supportive and committed to helping you achieve your goals, ALF is for you.
Thank you, Debbie! It's so awesome that you have made a commitment to yourself and have been so consistent with your personal training sessions and cardio classes. We're so happy that you are seeing so much improvement! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Been attending Active Life just over a month ago and I love it! My day to day life is easier and pain free. I do not panic when I have to get off the floor any more. I was just able to go canoeing with my family, something I was afraid to do for so long because I was too big and my mobility was non-existent. I'm planning to kayak next! The whole group is fantastic. Classes are motivating and personalized. Coaches are amazing and everyone is supportive and friendly. I'm super grateful I found my spot at Active Life Fitness.
Thank you, Erin for you great review! We're so happy you are reaping results so soon. We know you will experience more moments like the canoe trip as you continue to get stronger and more mobile. Keep up the great work and thanks for referring James!
Fantastic experience: Active Life Fitness is like a hidden gem! The staff members are extremely friendly and the workout is very well designed. The trainers/coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. You move at your own pace and all exercises can be adjusted to meet your needs. I love that there are experts on the floor the entire time to help me with proper form and answer my questions. I highly recommend A.L.F.!!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Megan! With more reviews like this, we won't be hidden for long!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. You should definitely join. Have been going for a month or two and feel so much better it's truly almost unbelievable. I was telling my friends how different I feel. I am kind of reminded of back in the day when I used to drive around in a crappy old basic car and my dad got himself a brand-new fancy foreign car and let me drive it. I remember being amazed at how much better it felt to drive: the steering, the handling, the plush suspension, the acceleration, the responsiveness. That is pretty much how I feel in my body from coming to this gym for just a few weeks -- just so much faster and stronger and more powerful and way less likely to be achy or to tire out. Highly recommend. The trainers are also just fantastic and are clearly much much more knowledgeable at getting people into noticeably better shape faster without injury or pain than other trainers I have worked with long-term in the past, even at super-pricey gyms like Equinox. Definitely come in.
Thank you for the kind words and the awesome review. We're so glad you are feeling better since you started working with our personal trainers! Keep up the great work, Jo!
Fantastic experience: ALF is the best!! Before joining ALF I hadn't had a workout regimen since my college days. Within 6 months of attending the gym, I feel much stronger, have more stamina, and more energy. I actually look forward to working out instead of treating it as a necessary evil! Marty and the staff are great and on top of their game (not to mention that Marty has the same taste in music as me)! Lastly, a big shout out to Marty's office manager - she's the best!
Thanks for the great review, Glen! I'm so glad you have reaped some great benefits from our program.Rock on!
Fantastic experience: ALF is a hidden gem! I was unaware of its existance until I saw an advertisement in a local newspaper for a 50 Day Challenge. I am 67 years old and never worked out in a gym before. ALF changed my life in 2 short months! Marty, David, and Rob are fabulous-knowledgable, supportive, and encouraging of their clients and their needs! They guide you in nutrition, exercise and strength training which I really needed. They also give you suggestions/tools as far as journaling, keeping a daily chart, etc. I never feel sore after my classes and look forward to going! I definitely feel stronger, my balance is better, and I have more energy! All of the other clients are friendly and encouraging also. Everyone works at their own pace and no one is judged. I am starting my third month and look forward to my physical condition improving more! I highly recommend ALF-it's a life changer!
Thank you for your awesome review, Andrea! We're so glad you are reaping the benefits of our personal training program! We look forward to watching your continued progress in the months and years ahead.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you so much, Trevor! You're a great addition to the Active Life Fitness community! Your success is what drives our personal trainers and staff every day!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you so much for your awesome review, Amy! We've always known strength training helps with bone density, not just for women in their 50s but for men as well. You should be proud of yourself for taking action and sticking with it, even though exercising isn't your favorite thing to do.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Joan for the wonderful review of our personal training gym and for being part of the ALF family!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous coaches! Fun and supportive environment!
Thank you, Liz! We love having you!
Fantastic experience: Great place and great staff to help any one on their journey of being fit and healthy. Shout out to David the best trainer around.
Thank you for your kind review, Andrew! We greatly appreciate it and yes, David is an awesome personal trainer!
Fantastic experience: As someone that was not in very good shape but too anxious to go to a gym or take that first step to do anything about it, this place was the perfect place for me. Coach David has transformed my health both mentally and physically in the last year and I couldn’t be any happier about it and look forward to my sessions every week
Thank you, Evan for your five star review! We're so glad you're getting results from our personal training program! You're an awesome client and we're happy to help you continue with your transformation!
Fantastic experience: Hey, you know what? I can't usually stand to go to a gym. I'm tired, I'm lazy, it's not something I like to do. However, when I walk through the door at ActiveLiveFitness and am greeted by Marty and I start my individual designed program along with my morning buds, as they work on their stuff, I start to get that good old feeling back again. I am accomplishing something, working on my goals, the goals that I worked with Marty to define. The music is good, I am focused on getting done and by the time I leave - new me! So stop worrying where to look for the right trainer. There all here. Marty, Kim, Linda and Bernadette are all committed to helping you feel good, have fun and reach your goals. Been in lots of gyms - this is the best one I've found.
Thank you for the shout out Joe! We are fortunate to have you as part of our ALF family and proud of all the work you have done!
Fantastic experience: Since working out at Active life Fitness, I feel so much better. The staff is very knowledgeable and caring. Definitely the best gym experience I have had and I’ve been to several. I highly recommend this personal fitness gym!
Thank you, Mimi for your kind words! We're so happy you found your place. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Anne for your awesome review! The goal of our personal training program is to change peoples' lives and we're so glad we've made a meaningful difference in yours! You are awesome!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you for your awesome review, Marti! We are so happy that you are feeling better and having fun with our personal training program! Keep up your great work!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you, Maria! We're so glad you are reaping the benefits of our personal training program! You always bring the energy and it's great to see the awesome results that you've had. We love having you in the ALF family!
Fantastic experience: Excellent personal training. Challenging workouts. Great staff, members and atmosphere.
Thank you, Gail for being a part of our community. We're so glad you are loving it here!
Fantastic experience: Going to ALF is the best part of my day.
Thanks for the great review, Hal! We always strive to make the personal training experience the best part of everyone's day!
Fantastic experience: I started coming here last week and so far it has been great. The coach will correct my form when needed and I don’t have to think of what workouts should I do since they do it for me :-)
Thank you so much, Maria! We really appreciate it! We're so glad you are a part of our personal training program!
Fantastic experience: This gym has changed the way I exercise and eat. The coaches are always helpful and encouraging. Besides that it is always fun to be there!!!
Thank you, Bobbi! You are part of the reason it's fun! We are glad you are reaping the benefits of your personal training sessions and keep up the healthy habits!
Fantastic experience: Best gym experience I’ve ever had. The owner and staff are exceptional and so helpful day to day. They push you to succeed, and are very flexible with scheduling. It’s a family environment and I always look forward to going. Danielle
Thank you for your review, Danielle! We are so happy to have you part of the Active Life Fitness family!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Claudia! All of our personal trainers are well-versed in modifying workouts based on someone's needs, abilities, and limitations. We don't consider you a "hot mess" at all, but someone we look forward to spending our time with. We're glad to be able to help!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you so much, Ernie! We are so glad you are part of our community and seeing the results of your hard work!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you so much, Teresa! We are so happy to have you at Active Life Fitness. We've always known personal training yields the best results not only for physical fitness, but for mental health as well. Keep up the great work. You should be proud of yourself!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you for the awesome review, Joyce!You are such a hard worker and a pleasure to teach and all of our personal trainers look forward to their sessions with you!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you, Marie! We've always said we are THE local gym with personal training for "non-gym" people and we're so glad you found us. It's a pleasure having you!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Rachel! Our personal trainers love helping people like you "get back into shape"! We are so grateful to have you here at our gym!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Joe for your wonderful review! Appreciative people like you, who are getting results, make personal training very gratifying! It's an honor and privilege to help!
Fantastic experience: Awesome results after just 9 weeks!
Thank you, Janice! You are doing great with your personal training sessions and your nutrition! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: If you want to get in shape and don’t have a clue where to start, this is the gym for you! Workouts are personalized for you and all the trainers are top notch. The gym is super clean and all the equipment is well maintained. Thank you Marty and staff for helping me build a stronger, healthy body the safe way by setting attainable goals.
Thank you so much Cindy! You've been doing great with your personal training sessions and it really shows! We're so happy to have you as part of the ALF community!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I started to join ALF three years ago and we changed our workout routine and eating habits completely. The ALF team is absolutely amazing and they are always there to help and support you on your exercises needs. I highly recommend this place. We consider it our family gym place.
Thank you, Kristiane, for the kind words and for being a part of our family!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Fran for your kind words. We are so happy you have been able to change your life for the better and we love having you as part of our ALF family!
Fantastic experience: ALF has been a great help and step in the right direction for better health. The team will work with you to set up a regimen to target your goals inside and outside the gym. They can also suggest a healthier lifestyle such as staying active when you’re not in the gym and better eating habits. The crew is very knowledgeable, friendly and sustain a clean environment while making new friends. I’m not really a workout fanatic but I’m experiencing real results and have a more positive attitude both body and mind. I highly recommend Active Life Fitness to feel and look your best!
Thank you, Brendan! It's a pleasure to help you work on your goals and to get healthier. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I joined Active Life Fitness during the middle of the pandemic to help me with my physical and mental health. I stayed because it works. Marty is a dedicated coach and business owner who also has a team of wonderful, fun, knowledgeable and supportive coaches. The workouts are group oriented but customized for our needs and ability level. I’ve grown stronger, have more energy, and lost weight, plus met new friends. I highly recommend Active Life Fitness.
Thank you so much, Monika! We are so glad you have reaped many benefits from doing personal training with us! You are awesome!
Fantastic experience: I was looking to get back to working out and a friend suggested Active Life Fitness. I went in for a meet and greet and haven’t looked back. I love the welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The trainers are so knowledgeable and patient. The small group class allows for a lot of personal attention from the trainers yet you can work at your own speed. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to build muscle through strength training in a friendly, supportive environment.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! We are so glad you've joined our family and that you are already reaping some of the benefits of our personal training program!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been a part of the ALF community for more years then I want to say. We have benefited from our membership in more ways then I can say! We so enjoy the community of people we work out with, the attention to detail and knowledge of the coaches, the unlimited benefits of the strength and metabolic training, all of it has enhanced our life!!! ALF has literally empowered us. We bike ride, hike, swim ,play pickle ball, we even went skiing this winter! But even the every day chores of life like carrying groceries and laundry or shoveling and mowing the lawn or helping our kids move yet again , are all possible and even made simple because of our balance and core strength. We tell Marty and his team all the time how they help us to be the active ....dare I say, seniors that we are. We don't feel like seniors that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS TO Marty and his team of knowledgeable coaches for empowering us to have healthy active lives!
Thank you so much, Lynn! Members like you and Rich help to make the ALF culture special. We're so glad you've entrusted our personal trainers with your health and fitness!
Fantastic experience: I love this gym, I started there a year and a half ago, made lots of friends and have good results. Thanks to Marty and the trainers they make getting in shape fun and comfortable while also making it challenging. This gym is life changing for me and I always look forward to going.
Fantastic experience: So happy to have joined the ALF family. My husband and I have always felt safe working out there throughout the pandemic. They only allow 5 people at a time and one trainer and we work out within our own pods with all the equipment we need for that day. We all wear our masks, and the fans are on to circulate the air. Hand sanitizer and wipes are also in each pod to sanitize equipment after every use. We enjoy our time there as the trainers are adults like us, and best of all, no mirrors!
Thank you so much, Ileana! We love having you and Glenn be a part of our gym family!
Fantastic experience: Active Life Fitness has been a great gym for me to work out in. Marty, the owner sets personal goals for me to achieve, makes sure I am exercising in the right way, have the right form and the staff makes you feel like you have personal attention. Wether in the gym during these times or on zoom the staff keeps me motivated and engaged to reach goals with every session. I am over 50 and was looking for years to find the right environment with the right owners and staff to feel comfortable working out and sticking with it. ALF is that place for me!
Thank you so much, Vivian! Our personal training team loves to help people like you who make our gym environment and community what it is.
Fantastic experience: If you're like me who's been avoiding gyms as they seem intimidating then this is the place for you! ALF is a great friendly place with encouraging owners & coaches. Marty made me feel welcomed & comfortable from my very first day. Their small group training sessions are perfect with just 4 to 5 people where you still get the indivualised attention. They also maintain a safe environment in the current situation. I look forward to my exercise classes.... Thank you ALF.
Thank you, Vaishali! We are so happy to have you in our family! We are grateful you've entrusted us with your health and fitness!
Fantastic experience: Marty and all the coaches at ALF are top notch! Workouts are challenging but safe and bring results - exactly what I needed to get back on track post Covid. Marty provides guidance on nutrition and shifting body composition and the gym is super clean. I was psyched to lose 8lbs. of body fat in 4 weeks! Thanks ALF for helping me get leaner and stronger ❤
Thank you, Mary, for the kind words about our personal training team! Our mission is to help people like you get leaner and to live a healthier life. Great job with your results!
Fantastic experience: The professional attention and workout plan I get from the team at Active Life Fitness is top-notch. And the personal trainers are awesome! Can’t recommend ALF highly enough!
Alex, thank you for the kind words and for being part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Love working out with my trainer. Marty. Extremely knowledgeable, patient but firm. Great motivator!
Thank you so much, Shari! It's a pleasure helping you to work towards improving your fitness and health!
Fantastic experience: Love this place - trainers are attentive and push you plus it’s like being part of a great big team/family - people are amazing AND workouts are hard, varied but fun.
Thank you for your review Cathy! We are so glad you are a part of our ALF family and that you are loving your workouts.
Fantastic experience: Congratulations to Active Life Fitness for keeping classes open during the quarantine. ALF offered and is still offering classes on FB, YouTube, ZOOM and more recently outdoors in the parking lot. The classes in the parking lot are limited and offered on a first come first served basis to insure social distancing. All I can say is thank you for keeping our bodies moving. I for one would never have kept up on my own had they not offered the classes. No matter which venue you choose the trainers, Marty, Kim, Linda, Bernadette and Debbie provide you with full workouts, instruction and choices as they always do in the gym. I’ve been a member since the beginning and encourage you to look them up on North Ave in Garwood when possible.
Thank you Ann! We are dedicated to your success and the success of all our members!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Active Life Fitness for about a year and a half. I was looking for a gym that included regular personal training so I would not be left to my own devices, and have been very happy ALF provides that and even more. With additional personalized nutritional program challenges and a great welcoming atmosphere, I am excited to continue renewing my membership for years to come!
We are proud of your dedication and love having you as part of the ALF fam!
Fantastic experience: The owners and instructors are the most professional, caring, and inspiring group of people I've ever worked out with! They take the time to get to know you and then design a workout program that best fits your needs, wants, and limits. The gym is exceptionally clean at all times and COVID safe. We each get our own pods with all of the equipment to work out with. Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizers are easily accessible all around the gym. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Victoria, thank you so much for the kind review of our personal training program! We take great pride in helping people like you who value fitness coaching and who help to make our gym's culture and community what it is! You've done a great job here getting stronger, leaner, and healthier!
Fantastic experience: I love my workouts at Active Life Fitness! The owners and staff are dedicated to seeing you achieve your goals. They really care about you. Your program is customized for you and they work with you at every session. Everyone is friendly and supportive and you’ll be amazed at the results you see. I always look forward to going because I feel so good afterwards. What a great gym!
Thanks for the kind words, Michele and thanks for being an inspiration to others here at ALF!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for almost 2 years. It is a welcoming community with experienced staff who focus on you. The goal is strength and mobility, and they are experts at adapting for whatever your fitness or health level is. The members are a family who support and uplift each other. The gym has been there for the members since the start of the pandemic, loaning equipment, providing live and recorded workouts, and checking up on us via phone, text and email. You don't get that at larger chain gyms. I highly recommend Active Life Fitness.
Thanks Deb! Your review is much appreciated! So glad you are a part of the ALF family!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Active Life Fitness for just under 2 years. I cannot say enough great things about Marty & Kim, the staff, the environment and of course the workouts. Everyone has a personal training program geared specifically to their needs (with weekly training sessions) and when you are training on your own, there is always someone on the floor to guide you and answer your questions. You are never alone. I have learned correct form and better nutrition. Every single client is friendly and has a smile on their face. We all support each other in our workout journey. ALF is truly a family and I have not looked back since the day I joined. Not only have I seen my body transform, my life has transformed as well. I look forward to my hourly program workouts and the additional cardo classes offered. It is a warm, welcoming, friendly, hard working environment and yes, everyone knows your name!
Meryl, thank you so much for this terrific review! We are delighted that you are a part of our community, and that you have had so much success. We look forward to working with you in the years ahead:)
Fantastic experience: Personable and friendly trainers that will tailor your program to your personal fitness goals. Just walk right in. They are super friendly and no gym jocks inhabit this space.
Thank you Nick! We appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: This is a place where everybody knows your name. It's a lovely, clean, gym with semi-private instruction & and personalized strength training that is tailored to individual goals and abilities. I've been with Kim and Marty for over 5 years and I've transformed from a sedentary, weak person to feeling like an athlete! Trainers Linda and Bernadette are knowledgeable, kind and fun!
You have worked hard and have reaped the benefits! Proud of you Georgia!
Fantastic experience: Recently joined for a new year contest and I honestly thought I was going to hate it but I love it!! Everyone is super friendly and there is ZERO intimidation walking in! Kim and Marty really know their stuff and make working out actually fun!! I look forward to my training sessions (even the 8am ones lol) and before I know it my hour is up and I’m on way.
Jaime, you are a pleasure to work with! Thank you for trusting us and good luck with the contest!
Fantastic experience: I'd like to start by saying I had major gym anxiety; the kind where you work up the courage to finally pay for a membership, but then are too scared to actually show up (either because I was SO out of shape or because I wouldn't know what to do and where to start). I hesitantly signed up for a trial, and I'm honestly so glad that I did. Active Life Fitness is such a positive workout environment - both the trainers and the people! They have given me the confidence and tools to strengthen myself and get into shape. We started at the perfect level for my inactivity and have quickly built up as I am able, all the while making sure I am doing all exercises properly and safely (trust me, I'd probably have hurt myself without the proper guidance!). When I started, I probably hadn't been truly active in - well - let's just call it over a decade! It's only been three weeks so far, and I am already seeing results! I've developed muscles I never knew I had had and have more energy, all of which is helping me keep up with a very active toddler! I am proud of myself, more confident, and ready to continue my journey. In fact, I just signed up for a year membership as I near the end of my trial! If you're hesitant like me, all I can say is just go for it! This is THE place to be! They will not steer you wrong!
Heather, you are doing an amazing job and we are so proud of you! Stepping out of our comfort zone is the way we grow and achieve success! Thank you for trusting us!
Fantastic experience: I began working out at ALF about 7 months ago. I selected ALF because I’m not 20 anymore (but don’t tell anyone) and getting back into exercise can be a bit daunting. Marty, Kim, Bernadette and Linda make working out fun. They are supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. They get to know each member and flex to that individual’s pace and abilities. They are warm and friendly - taking the time to personally introduce new members to all. What I appreciate most is that by knowing my abilities, they are able to challenge me enough, without discouraging me. Seven months in and I feel great. I’m stronger, more flexible, more energetic and I’ve shed about 20lbs. As you can tell, I’m a big fan. The owners, staff and members all join together to create a very special place.
Thanks Henry for the shout out! You have done an amazing job transforming your health and increasing your strenghth.
Fantastic experience: I have only been going there since April 2019 and I love it!! Joining a gym can be intimidating but Marty, Kim, Bernadette and Linda make it fun. Everyone gets their own plan and even though you train in a group, the trainers keep an eye on everyone and can correct your form and explain why you do the different exercises. Your plan will change every six weeks which challenges you and allows you to get stronger and you won't get bored. The class sizes are perfect and everyone gets enough time on each machine - there is never a wait! The metabolic classes are amazing! The different exercises keep it challenging but fun - the hour goes by fast.
You are wonderful to work with and we are delighted to have you as part of our ALF family!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place!! I’ve only been a client for 3 months but love going! Kim & Marty are the best and so are all their clients. I’ve always been intimidated by gyms but they’ve created such a warm and welcoming environment!!
Thank you for the thumbs up! We are so happy you are with us and that you are enjoying ALF!
Fantastic experience: Active Life Fitness is addictive! The owners Kim and Marty are knowledgeable and professional. The workouts are challenging; you really want to succeed here. And you do!
We are so proud of you Jane! Your hard work and positive attitude have really paid off!
Fantastic experience: Fastest hour of my day!!! I have never joined a gym in my life - and I expected to hate it. But, not only do Marty and Kim give you a personalized routine (updated on a periodic basis) and make sure you know how to execute it correctly...they have taken the gym experience and made it a community...a family. I have only been using their gym for 2 months, but they have instilled a habit already where I truly look forward to working out - at my own pace and level. After only 2 months, I already feel stronger, less joint pain, and have lost some weight. Kim and Marty make it a whole life experience with a food journal and nutrition advice. I would have never even tried their gym if it weren't for their positive attitude...they may have given me a whole new life just by giving them a chance. Thank you, Kim and Marty!!!!!!
We are speechless! We are thrilled that ALF has made a big difference in your life. This is why we do what we do! Thank you for the positive feedback and keep up the hard work and dedication!
Fantastic experience: I have come out of only my second appointment at Active Life Fitness, and I feel great. Kim and Marty are personable and professional at the same time, so welcoming and motivating! They set up programs design on each individual person's needs, and the members are also so down-to-earth. When I want to join a gym I felt a little intimidated because I have not been in shape for a while, I feel so comfortable here. I highly recommend it!
Thank you for the kind words Becky! We are so glad you chose our gym and that you are feeling the results!
Fantastic experience: The trainers here are the BEST! They care about making sure you do the exercises right and develop healthy habits.
You are dedicated Brigid and it has paid off big time! Thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to relate what a great all-around job ALF does. At the beginning, Kim went over my diet and checked out my physical strengths/lacks in a simple "checkup". From there, at least two different routines were set up to alternate. Between those two workouts, the help & oversight in a fun atmosphere, and truly keeping to my proper diet, I lost 5 lbs in a matter of weeks...and I am generally active already!! While they're watchful while you workout, you can just let them know if you feel you're able for more after the first 2-3 workouts. As I always find, you feel more energetic overall when exercising regularly! How much better in a bright, new facility!
Thank you for the wonderful review Caroline!
Fantastic experience: Kim and Marty are awesome trainers! I met them about five years ago (I was training with Kim only at the time) and because of Kim's guidance and support, I have lost about 70 pounds and kept it off. To this day, there is no one I'd rather trust when it comes to my fitness program. I love the environment they have created at Active Life Fitness. It feels like home and you know you are in good hands whenever you walk in the door! I highly recommend ALF to anyone who wants knowledgeable and motivating trainers.
Thank you Julie! We are so proud of all the work you have accomplished!
Fantastic experience: A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be apart of a medical mission in Northern Haiti. It was a lifelong dream of mine to do this. My experience was incredible. The people that I worked with and cared for were all inspiring and gracious. It was hard and fulfilling work. The last day of our trip was a "free day."we took an excursion to the Citadel which is a fortress on top of mountain outside the city of Cap Haitien. It is the highest point in Haiti. We drove halfway of mountain then hiked the remaining 3000 feet to the top. It was a very steep hike.... We started out as a group and a few steps into it one of the doctors with us was talked into using a horse to take her to the top.... So off she went ahead of us...we kept climbing and climbing.... There were other groups around us and all of us had the option of bowing out at anytime and getting on a horse for $10 to take us to the top. I had no intention of taking a horse. I wanted to do it myself.... Besides what would Kim think if she knew I had given up? Uh uh... No way. I'm climbing.I am drenched in sweat. The sun is beating down upon me. I no longer see my group ahead of me, they have gone ahead of me. I am struggling but know I have to keep going. I start to feel bad thinking of everyone waiting for me at the top to begin the tour of the citadel... The young 30 year old residents bounding to the top, I felt like a jerk, but I kept on climbing and never stopped. There were horses available for me to hire the whole way up, and I really almost did. I turned the corner and there was Doctor Pogany, the lady that had taken the horse and she yelled you WIN!!! You're the first one up! I didn't believe her... But she was right. The rest of the group came around the bend 10 minutes later!!! I had beat everyone one to the top!! All I thought about was WOW! Wait until I tell Kim!! I was really proud. Kim has inspired me to push myself and be fit inside and out. I am so greatful. I BELIEVE IN ACTIVE LIFE FITNESS!!!
Jules Master Jay you are da best!!! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

I highly recommend Active Life Fitness for a healthy, fun and rewarding journey.

Fantastic experience: I love working with Kim and Marty at Active Life Fitness. This is not just your ordinary gym. Kim and Marty are innovative, caring, and focused on your health, strength and flexibility. They really care about fitness for your lifetime. They are constantly learning about the best ways to help you become the best you can be. They have a positive attitude and it's reflected in the clients who come to work with them. I cannot say enough good things about Kim and Marty. I have been working with Marty for almost 13 years. I highly recommend training with them at Active Life Fitness.
