My husband and I have been fortunate enough to be members of Train for life since it first opened its doors over 14 years ago and are witnesses of so many transformations of members who have accomplished their goals of being stronger, more active or simply healthier . 💯 recommend this amazing place where you never feel alone or forgotten.
I have been a member for over 10 years and there is no better place than train for life. The atmosphere, the culture, they have it all. I cannot see myself at any other gym. Fully recommended.
Train for Life is the BEST place to train and learn about yourself. All the coaches are incredibly supportive to beginners and experts. (Shout out to coaches Drew, Wes, Dante, and Ashley...in no particular order!!) They tailor the experience for each individual in small classes by providing various levels and modifications, if needed. The environment is welcoming and supportive of all levels of skills and strengths. I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't yet. Visit anytime and you won't be disappointed. When people say we're a second family it's true. Join today!
This is the place you want to train. The staff, the workouts, the culture, the facility......everything is top notch. Workouts can be tailored to meet everyone's needs while delivering a positive and motivating experience. The coach to member ratio is excellent and coaches are constantly ensuring you are executing the exercise properly to help prevent injury. Regardless of your skill or experience level, If you're looking to get moving, get stronger, and/or more active, there is no better spot and no better group of people to do it with. I could go on and on about TFL but trust me....Give them a chance and you'll be happy!
Train For Life is truly a remarkable gym experience unlike any other I've encountered. It's more than just a place to work out, it's a welcoming gym family that embraces a unique and indescribable culture. As a dedicated member, I make it a point to extend a warm welcome to new members, knowing how daunting it can be to step into a new gym environment. Train For Life stands out by creating an environment where everyone, regardless of fitness level or age, feels embraced and encouraged. Personally, I embarked on my fitness journey while recovering from an injury, and Train For Life's supportive approach allowed me to not only heal but thrive. Whatever your fitness aspirations may be, Train For Life empowers you to achieve them. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Train For Life as a place of transformation and community.
I've gone to a variety of fitness establishments in the past and I will say if you’re looking for a gym that is different from others then Train for Life is where you want to be. The coaches at TFL motivate you, listen to you & will craft a specific training plan based on your goals whether it be beginning a new sport, improving in a sport you’re already involved in, or being in better shape for life in general. Over the past 10 years of being part of this community I have achieved goals I never thought attainable and I’ve met some amazing people and friends along the way.
Train For Life is an amazing gym. It's where friends become family. Everyone is helpful, encouraging, friendly.... the coaches help you move better. Whether you're just beginning, or experienced, you'll fit right in. The coaches help you move at your pace. I've gained confidence over the past few years being here, thanks to the amazing coaches and my workout family. They all helped me complete my first Strongwoman competition last October!!
I joined Train For Life after spending years at a "budget" gym where I had no support or direction. For me, I thrive with support and instruction. At this gym, I find continuous support & motivation to build strength and flexibility while avoiding injury. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants an enjoyable and safe workout experience at a very fair cost!
An amazing positive place for all levels of fitness. This place changed and saved my life
Coach Drew has pushed my limits during workouts and I see and feel the results. Love the encouragement here!

I adore this gym! With the positive community that has been built through the coaches attention to detail, I genuinely find myself looking forward to their classes. Life changing!
Before signing up for TFL I was 400lbs with no direction in life. Five years later I m feeling great with the confidence of an NBA athlete at a gentlemen s club. Would highly recommend.
Train for Life is a great gym with great staff. The workout programming is top-notch, and the knowledgeable coaches always get the best out of the members. Since joining TFL I have repeatedly found myself leaving my comfort zone and accomplishing things I never knew I could.
Train for Life is an amazing space for people of all ages and fitness levels. People are welcoming, and the coaching staff are great. Drew the head coach/owner pours so much into others and brings out the best from whoever hes around. Fantastic place....cant rave enough about TFL ****Edit**** Ive been a member since 2013 and I *STILL* love this place. Ive grown so much and in so many ways. Im so appreciative to Drew and our other talented coaches. Drew is no longer just a coach. He is a wonderful friend, and an impirtant part of my tribe. Im grateful for the members, and Im even more grateful for the members who have become friends, and for the friends who have become family
Positive energy, positive people and positive experiences. Train for Life has the best coaches who help and guide you to accomplish your workout goals. Getting stronger all the time. Not only can you work hard but have fun doing it. Who knew that working out could be so rewarding.
Train for Life isn t just a gym, it s a community. It is the one gym that I have ever consistently attended, which is 7 years now! The staff is top notch and are always willing to help you modify any exercise if needed. The community of members are unlike any other. I highly recommend checking it out!
Train For Life is more than a gym. It is a safe place where you are always welcomed, can be yourself, while working on being your best. Not only do the coaches care about you, the members are very supportive and motivating. I would never go anywhere else after coming here!!!!!!!!
I was completely out of shape when I started and couldn t even do 5 push-ups in a row when I started. Even though I go to the large groups the coaches always made sure to pay attention to me knowing I was new and made sure I was getting my form down correctly for all of my movements. 6 months later I ve lost 35 pounds and couldn t be happier with my progress at Train for Life. I always felt awkward going to gyms but they immediately made me feel like I had been there for years. Anyone looking to make a change to their health and lifestyle should definitely give Train for Life a try.
If you want a gym with excellent programming, support, and guidance, Train For Life is the place to go. They know how to push and motivate you to do things you never thought possible. Joining two years ago was the best decision I ever made!
Train For Life is my home away from home! So much more than just a gym..it s a diverse family of likeminded people who all want to better ourselves, physically and mentally. You will fall in love with the staff as well as your fellow members..caring, fun, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. A fun place to get your fitness on, surrounded by fantastic humans who support each other in reaching goals both in and out of the gym. I have been a member for 8 years and i don t know what I d do without this place.

Train For Life has given me the strength physically, emotionally, and mentality to pursue my goals. I was totally out of my comfort zone and they provided support, encouragement, and their expertise to every session. The atmosphere of Train For Life reminds me of the tv show Cheers where every trainer knows your name and you are welcomed. I am grateful that a safe, motivating, energetic, and professional fitness facility exists in this area. Thank you Train For Life for helping me regain my power!
A 10 years / Plus member Train For Life is the Place to be amazing coaches. Thank you for all this years.
I love everything about this gym and the workouts! The coaches are exceptional and always go above and beyond for us. I always look forward to walking through the doors and feel amazing when I leave! I highly recommend!
I joined this gym back in 2016, after I had taken up running but really did not have any cross training. Im so glad that I joined, because TFL offers a balanced program of strength training and metabolic conditioning, with regularly timed weeks dedicated to recovery. The focus is on proper alignment and technique and the workouts (large and small group) are tailored to individual ability and fitness level while taking into considerations strengths, limitations or injury of the individual. I always appreciate that while the trainers are so knowledgeable and helpful, they are also inclusive and kind and a ton of fun. The gym is full of people of different backgrounds and skill level, but the thing that everyone has in common is that they make sure that everyone feels included and encouraged and has fun.
Working from home full time made me realize I need an interactive fitness environment. Train for life is all this and more. From the friendly first day greeting, to the constant encouragement from coaches and other members, TFL delivers. A member for just over 2 years Ive participated in 4 or 5 fitness challenges, run (4) 5k & (2) 10k road races, and the journey continues. All thanks to the strength training and conditioning at TFL. The welcoming atmosphere helps relieve the anxiety of exercise, it makes it fun, not easy, but fun. Take that first step.
Much more than a gym for me. Coaches are my second family. Most of my friends I met at the gym including my wife.
The in-house massage therapist, Laurie St. Marie, and Caitlin Lavin, the owner of The Stretch Solution, who takes clients at the gym once a week, have been some of the greatest help in my journey at this gym. Whenever I have had any injury or nagging pain, their services have not only helped provide relief, but their counsel and direction helped to continue me forward in feeling better thereafter my appointments with them. They also work with the coaches to ensure everybody is getting the care they need in and out of the gym.
Train for life is an awesome gym. Great trainers, and Caitlyn, their stretch therapist is magic. My lifts feel so much better after spending time getting stretched!
TFL is the best gym in the area! All coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and down to earth! If you put in the work, theyll help you get results! The members and the coaches together make it a great inclusive, fun, gym environment!
This gym is incredible! It motivates all of its members to set realistic achievable goals tailored to that individual! Everyone is extremely supportive and welcoming to new members!
This place is awesome. I have never enjoyed going to a gym in my life! They are very helpful, it s an inclusive environment, lots of fun, and it feels like a personal experience every workout.
Train for Life hands down is the best choice I ve made for my fitness center. Drew McConaha and his team are great coaches, they are extremely knowledgeable, positive, and supportive. I always feel welcomed at Train for Life. Highly recommended!!!
Highly recommend TFL! This facility has the best owners, coaches, interns and staff. There are many options from large group classes, to semi-private sessions to individualized training - something for everyone no matter what your age and/or fitness level.

Train for life is a life saver. If you re looking for a gym where you will feel comfortable, motivated and actually enjoy- this is the place. The staff is amazing and the other attendees are awesome.
Great workout as always!!
We love Train for Life! It is a great atmosphere with attentive, knowledgeable coaches. Your workout can always be modified to meet your needs, limitations, or injuries. It is more expensive than a Planet Fitness, but you ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for! TFL has also gone above and beyond to make workouts safe with the Pandemic distancing and sanitizing protocols in place and strictly adhered to!! You should definitely check them out!
Such a great place, they have been doing amazing during covid and making sure everyone feels comfortable during their workouts.
Train for life isn t just a gym it s a family and a community that always pushes me to my highest potential. It s a place that helps me to dig deep and be the strongest and best version of myself. I always get bored working out at a gym alone and the help from the trainers, members and music on top of the great workouts helps me to never feel bored. I look forward to going to the gym every time .. 10/10 recommend.
Soooo happy to be a part of the TFL family. Wouldnt want to work out anywhere else!
Professional, knowledgeable, fun, caring, inspiring staff. Diverse accommodating clean open friendly environment. Its not cheap but youre paying for the knowledge, quality, environment and focus. Id say if you check them out you wont be disappointed! The options in types of sessions is nice too if you need more 1 on 1 focus as opposed to big group stuff.
Great all around gym with no barrier to entry
Good healthy place to be
The group workouts make it impossible for you to be in bad shape.
Great place. Very clean
A unique gym where everyone is family. The coaches are all about proper form so you dont get injured, but help you achieve the best you. The coaches are attentive to every member, regardless of the group size, to ensure proper technique. Train for Life also offers different class sizes to meet everyones needs and comfort levels, and many class times. They hold a few charity workouts throughout the year to donate to charities picked by their members. They also have an in-house licensed massage therapist to help with range of motion that may be hampering your workouts. You can always come for a tour!
Great People and atmosphere to work out and have fun! Check it out. You will love it!
Awesome group of professionals, I would recommend Train for Life to everyone.
