Having been involved in the Fitness Industry for over 25 years, I became increasingly frustrated at its?poor standards. Quite simply, I became sick and tired of clubs where sales numbers were more important than member results. Personal training standards were ridiculously poor and good training programs and qualified instruction were almost impossible to find. I set out to create the solution. And I truly believe I did!

In 2009, we became the first Adult Training gym in Western MA. We have an incredibly knowledgeable and energized team of coaches, research-based training methods and a clean, no fluff training facility. You won?t find a more qualified or more highly-trained fitness training team anywhere. We also offer lifestyle enhancement programs based on improving the activities in your life such as Golfing, Biking, Obstacle Course Racing, distance running or any of the other sports you might participate in. From the pro’s to everyday Joes, middle and high school athletes, elite level players, we can get you there you need be.? If you just want to finally look move and feel better, you landed in the right place.

Recovering from an injury?? We are the only physician and physical therapist backed Return – To – Play program in the region. ACL, knee or hip replacement?? Sprained ankle, sore back? Whatever your setback might have been.? You can trust my team to get you back to full strength.

What truly sets us apart from other gyms is that we are the only fitness facility in the area you can experience before you make a commitment. You can come in and meet with one of our team coaches, become a member for 21 days (21 DAY JUMPSTART), and see if our gym is for you without any commitment. More importantly, we are the only fitness facility whose sole focus is not on membership numbers ? but on our members’ results. We want to positively IMPACT our members, our community and inspire others to greatness.

I have been a fitness enthusiast most of my life. I started strength training 35 years ago, and did some running and calisthenics on my own. Then I found group fitness and loved it – the energy, the people. Eventually, I started subbing for classes, and after a while, I was given my own classes to teach. I got certified in indoor cycling, personal training and TRX. I also brought BOKS (a before-school exercise program) to my kid’s elementary school, and taught that for 3 years, until my kids left. (fortunately, it is still running!) In addition, I became a certified Livestrong instructor, which is an exercise program for cancer survivors, and the fitness instructor for MIGHTY, a program for overweight kids that originated at Baystate. Right now, I teach indoor cycling, strength training and boot camp classes, as well as personal training. Until the pandemic, I had started teaching an all male class at the Westfield Senior Center, as well. I love working with people and helping and watching them grow stronger, and find it incredibly rewarding when people tell me ways in their every day lives that exercising has helped them. Sharing the knowledge that I have gained with others is something I love.

To me, fitness is not only something I am passionate about, but a lifestyle as well. There are so many benefits outside just the physical ones – mental an emotional benefits, too. As the mother of four girls, now all teens, not only has it helped keep me sane, but it’s been a healthy example for them to see. Paired with healthy eating, exercising has been an integral part of my every day life.

People will often ask me if I’m training for something. My answer always is, “I’m training for life!”.
