Nutrition Coaching

Build practical eating habits that support your energy, workouts, weight-management goals, and long-term health.

Just celebrated my one year anniversary at Active Life Fitness and I couldn't be happier with my results. The trainers are so professional and supportive. They customize your program and go at your pace. The small group training along with the cardio classes give a nice balance of strength training and aerobic exercise. I feel like I am stronger, move better and overall healthier. So happy with my decision to join ALF!!

I joined Active Life Fitness through a friend who lost a good amount of weight and looked great. I felt like this could help me at 60 years old and gave it a try. I came in hesitant but really wanted to see results like hers. My arms were flabby and my stomach was big. I thought…why not? It’s a free trial right? Well now my arms are toned my stomach is working its way down and I feel Healthier. I have more energy and feel empowered! I’ve made friends and met friends that I didn’t know were going there!!! My legs are STRONG! My blood pressure is DOWN! I actually feel AWESOME when I leave there (although sweaty)! I never thought I could feel this STRONG! The coaches all know my name and EVERY SINGLE TIME I go there they correct my wrongs and make me do the RIGHT form in all of my workouts. I don’t think I have ever left there without a coach guiding Me on SOMETHING to improve my workout. If you want To see a difference in your body give it at least a month and I promise you will Feel GREAT about your workout and the results you’ve made. I am SO happy with my results!!! I am STRONG and I am CONFIDENT! I never expected such great results!!!

Never did I expect to utter the words “I’m really looking forward to going to the gym today”. But here I am 2 months into my Active Life Fitness (“ALF”) membership and I’ve found my workout home. The trainers are fabulous: knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging and supportive. My fellow members, many of who have been members for many years, are welcoming, friendly, engaging and inclusive. If you are looking for a supportive community to help you achieve your fitness goals, look no further than ALF.

Tyler Bordick

By far the best experience I’ve ever had. Typically I’m afraid to step into a gym because of my knee and pain issues. Not to mention other trainers I’ve had are too rough with me at my age. Not here! They met me where I’m at from my initial phone call with Marty. My workout is customized to not p-off my knees and I felt better and more energetic after the first couple months. If you’re someone wondering if you should take the leap….without question choose Active Life Fitness!

Kathleen Shaw

Joining Active Life Fitness was a smart decision! I was reluctant to go to a gym because I hadn’t been to one in years, but I knew I needed help getting into shape. The small group training is perfect for me. The coaches are outstanding and professional. I actually look forward to working out!

Sandy Martinelli

After being diagnosed with Osteoporosis a few years ago, I vowed that I would do whatever was in my power to become healthier. In addition to the medications I am now on, I joined Active Life Fitness to become more active and build muscle. I am happy to say that after 2 years my bone density test indicates that my numbers are significantly improving! While I am still considered Osteoporotic the numbers are definitely headed in the right direction. Thank you ALF for the discipline and routine in keeping me healthy 😀

Kelly Sommers

ALF was a great decision for me. I’m stronger, have more energy, and made some new friends! The coaches are all great and help every step of the way. Highly recommend.
