I came across it online at the "Best of Bucks County Awards" site. They've been best alternative…read moregym 2 years in a row, apparently, and for very good reason. It's less of a convention "gym" and more like a small community of people who actually care about health and fitness.
You won't see the all-so-annoying gym members that LA has... no roided-up men grunting at the weight racks... no women just barely covering up their va-jay-jays to get attention. It's about real people here.
This gym has all the equipment that a conventional gym has, (treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, machines, etc.) but they have so much more,... The Jacob's Ladder (a never-ending ladder-- great cardio!), TRX bands from the ceiling, climbing ropes, suspended pull-up bar, vertical max boards, sliding boards, etc. There's even a Tough Mudder training obstacle course outside!
The trainers really know what they're talking about, too. They go above and beyond to access your fitness needs, and they create a custom program designed for you to reach your fitness goals.
I honestly can not go back to a regular gym after being at Fitlife. It's actually fun to workout, and less of a chore.
They recently incorporated the MyZone Program into the gym. MyZone is a heart-rate monitor system.. when you wear your belt, your heart rate appears on the big TVs at the gym. Depending on the intensity of your workout, you accumulate "MEPs" which help you gauge how well of a workout you're getting. The system REALLY helps. It makes you compete with yourself (For me, I'm always trying to stay in the high yellow to red level) as well as others. FitLife makes MyZone fun too... for the months of July 2013 and August 2013, they have a contest-- get to 5,000 MEPs and be entered into a grand prize.. every 500 MEPs over that gets you another entry.
I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to better their health, no matter how small or large the goal.
