As someone who has always been conscious of their health, I never expected to hit a wall with my fitness journey. Yet in 2023, I fell out of love with working out. I was in a rut and I knew I needed to change something but I couldn't figure out what. I tried signing up for class pass, going from crunch to 24 hour, doing home YouTube videos, etc. But no matter what I did, the motivation wasn't there and the guilt of watching myself give up ate at me. I started to ask myself some tough questions. Why was I spending most of my paycheck going out to eat with friends but I couldn't justify a personal trainer? Why was I investing into my retirement account but never thought twice about investing into my own health? What's the point in retiring comfortably if I already had back problems in my 30s? In comes A2F. After a quick google search of gyms near me I gave Arlene a ring and the next day she was listening to my struggles, goals, and everything in between. I told her I struggled with motivation even though I knew what I needed to do. I told her I wanted to not only fall in love with lifting but fall in love with myself again. I wanted to invest in me. Fast forward three months later and I feel like a new person. A2F helped keep me accountable and gave me the space I needed to start enjoying workouts again. My sleep is better, my mental health has improved and my energy levels are up. Finally I look forward to going to the gym instead of dreading it! Not only did Arlene and mark give me back my health, but they gave me an incredible community of people with the same goals and passions as me. Also, having a clean private gym has its perks! I never have to fight for machines or wait for dumbbells to be available. I can workout any time and not stress about peak hours. If you're self conscious about working out in crowds, worry no more. This is truly a god send of a place and I can't say enough good things about the people who run it.

A2F has been completely life changing for me. I first joined the gym because after working out my whole life I always felt like needed more and better results with my body. I was intrigued that this was a weight lifting gym and competition gym. All the girls on social media looked amazing and I knew I had to go in and see what it was all about. I told the owner Arlene that my dream one day was to compete in a bikini competition. She gave me the motivation to look forward to that dream sooner. I have been going to the gym for 6 months and I have had incredible results. I have dropped 10% in body fat, gained muscle, and boosted my confidence. Mark, Britney, Rebecca are the other trainers who have been amazing.

I started my fitness journey a year ago at A2F gym. Having no experience in weight training and nutrition and what a transformation it has been. Never in my wildest dream would I have thought I'd be a bikini competitor and now I am a 3 time National bikini qualifier. Thanks to my coaches Arlene and Mark who made my journey possible and continue to encourage me to be my best. A2F is more than just a gym it's become a family of friends.

This gym gave me back my quality of life. I was in a really bad car accident that left me with my discs bulging in my neck and lower lumbar. After intense physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic for three months they assessed my condition and said nothing has changed and to look into pain management. I was so disappointed after committing to a regime that was my only option to feel better that nothing worked and I was still in pain, couldn't sleep, couldn't lift anything more than 5lbs which included laundry and grocery shopping. My husband who is amazing found this gym and said let's try this even though the drs advised against it. I am so grateful my husband found this place and esp Arlene and Mark! Arlene and Mark worked with me for the first three months 4-5 days a week and within that time I have completely healed my back and neck. I can lift 10-15 pounds now, I can leg press 45 pds or more. I can do weighted walking lunges, leg curls all these things were forbidden by my drs. Mark and Arlene worked with my injuries and modified EVERYTHING for me to grow stronger and achieve results that I never have all my life going to the gym before my accidents. I look better now at 48 than I ever have and was working with injuries and pain- they healed me!! I would recommend them 110%! Also this gym is one I have never experienced, everyone is so incredibly nice, it feels like a family and all so helpful. It is a true testament to the people Mark and Arlene are as there energy and vibe attracts amazing people around them.

In an overcrowded landscape of generic gyms and disengaged trainers, this fitness center distinguishes itself as a haven for personalized, transformative health experiences. The facility itself exudes an inviting atmosphere, thoughtfully designed to allow members the space and focus they need for their workouts. Central to this exceptional experience are Mark and Arlene, who are nothing short of outstanding in their expertise and approach. Along with their equally committed colleagues, they provide a level of personalized service that eschews aggressive sales gimmicks in favor of truly understanding and catering to individual fitness goals. When you step into this center, you're not just another member--you're a valued individual embarking on a meaningful fitness journey. If transformation is what you seek, look no further; this is unequivocally the place to achieve it.

I joined A2F about 4 weeks ago and this place already feels like family. Arlene, the owner, makes you feel welcome and included. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so friendly and helpful. I have never really liked working out and ever since joining, I have not wanted to miss a workout. All the trainers there are amazing. They really care about you and push you to get stronger. Arlene's husband Mark has created a meal plan for me to reach my goals and the food is actually really good! It's real food! He answers all my questions about the plan - and trust me - I had a lot of questions. He never made me feel like I was bothering him. He's been awesome. I have already lost 5 pounds! If you're looking for a place where you can lose weight, gain muscle, and feel welcomed and included, A2F is the place. It will be your second family :)

If you are looking for a small PERSONAL gym, this is the place to go. Arlene and Mark take their time with all their members. Working on everyone's different fitness needs with training and personalized meal plans. Wether you're looking to compete in a bikini competition, lose some weight, or maintain a healthy lifestyle they will help you with all of your goals. It is much more like being part of a family than being a part of a gym where nobody knows who you are. Everyone is so nice and so supportive of each other. I feel so good about myself and what I have accomplished at A2F in the last 3 months I have been going there. Highly highly recommend checking them out!

Where to begin...I am currently writing this from the stair mill after one of the hardest workouts of my life! I was die hard orangetheory fitness (group workouts) for 6 or 7 years. I was seeing little results going 5 days a week and since I am getting married I decided I wanted to try something different. Which is how I found A2F. I thought I was going to be intimidated - sometimes small, body-building focused gyms can have a certain "vibe" about them. NOT A2F AT ALL!!! I cannot stress enough how comfortable the trainers make you feel. When you walk into the gym, you've immediately become one of the family. That's for the trainers, owners and the other members. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and open to sharing what journey they're on and how they ended up at A2F. It's always a small group of people and they pay very close attention to your form and push you. When you think you're lifting heavy enough, they tack on some more and guess what - you can lift it!! They really push you to be the best version of yourself. Arlene, Arlene, Rebecca, Mark, and Britney are all the trainers I've worked out with and they're all phenomenal. Since I've started we've done weekly in body scans. Mark will adjust the diet as needed. If you stick to the plan you will see results. I've been at A2F since mid-January coming 3 days a week and have seen my body change more than the last year of year of orangetheory workouts 5x per week. The workouts at A2F are designed to change your body and they do! THE TAILOR HAD TO TAKE 11 INCHES OFF MY WEDDING DRESS! ELEVEN!!!! I was SOOO happy with my results!!! Give Arlene and Mark a call and come in to try the workouts and get to know the group. If you want to see change you won't be disappointed. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Everyone is nice and welcoming in there and always looking after you! The vibe is always positive and people work hard but in such a lay back environment. You can see the results all over you which is super inspiring! Thanks Arlene and Mark for all the help thus far. I highly recommend A2F ??

I love A2F gym. Arline and all the trainers are so helpful and encouraging. They are honest with you, but communicate in a way that motivates you. The culture of this gym is great too. I never liked going to gyms before because there was too much "testosterone". But all the men here are super respectful. It's a clean facility with pretty much all necessary equipment. There are disinfectant wipes available to wipe off all equipment before and after. I've also seen Arline go around on her free time wiping equipment down.Lastly, my fitness goals were not body building but just to lose weight and become healthy. They have gotten me to my goal in the past but sadly I stopped coming (for circumstances beyond my control) and I gained MORE weight then when I first started with them. Arline and the trainers response was that I was still beautiful and that they were committed to getting me back to my goals. Exactly what I needed to hear. I'm grateful to them and I know with their help I'm going to get to my goals, and I'm confident you can get to your goals with them too!

Absolutely love this gym! I came here on a recommendation from my friend, and I was not disappointed. I have not worked out in years, and the trainers here truly care about what your fitness goals are and help you achieve them. My trainer Arlene is the best, she is so dedicated to making sure your goals are met, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. The gym is immaculate, never overcrowded, everyone very friendly, and I would not go anywhere else. Highly recommend, you got a try try this place out!
