Our Story
We’re a gym for people who aren’t a fan of going to the gym! We’ve had our own fair share of experiences with gyms too, and it’s not for us either. That’s why we founded Active Life Fitness.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill, generic gym—it’s a place where you’ll find individualized attention, encouragement and understanding. We don’t just provide weights and space: we help individuals over 40 find and walk the road to better health and wellness—whether that means weight loss, strength and mobility, or rediscovering youthful energy.
