I joined Thrive Fitness over a year ago. I’ve had personal training with Lloyd and and group training with Kristin who are both amazing! I’ve kept up with the group training because I enjoy working with others. Kristin is wonderful at keeping the workouts challenging, fun and results-driven. She truly cares about her clients, and will listen to your needs. I’d highly recommend her and Thrive any day!

I’ve really enjoyed training here. It has a motivating atmosphere, and I love how they open the doors in the back when the weather is nice for fresh air. The owner, Lloyd, and his team of trainers are all very supportive, friendly and great professionals. I’ve trained both with Lloyd and Kristin, and they are both excellent. They are committed to getting you towards your goals at the pace that works for your lifestyle. I highly recommend this spot!
