Hello, and welcome to Adventure Fitness Athletic Club. My name is Susan Schaffner and I became the owner of AFAC in May of 2017. Being the owner of this gym is a dream come true because it allows me to pursue my life’s passion of helping people achieve greater health and wellbeing. My mission is to make AFAC the best gym in Thornton, Colorado.

This gym is my life’s passion and I want everyone to not just be a member, but to be part of our family.
