Have you ever walked into a gym and felt lost or out of place? Like you just didn’t belong there, didn’t know what to do, or even where to begin?
This is a common feeling in many gyms. But at AFAC’s gym in Thornton, Colorado, we strive to be different. To be a place where members feel like they belong and are welcome. Where the coaches encourage you and teach you how to build a healthy body, in spite of that awkward feeling.
If you’d like to be part of a gym where you’ll meet people who were just like you at one time and will encourage you on your fitness journey, read this blog and you’ll find out what makes AFAC gym better than other gyms!
How AFAC Gym Stands Out
On the surface, all gyms might seem the same. They all have weightlifting equipment, cardio machines, and fitness classes. You might think it doesn’t really matter which gym you join.
Once you step inside and take a closer look, however, gyms can be very different. Whether it’s the cleanliness of the premises, the friendliness of the atmosphere, or the variety of amenities, certain gyms raise the bar and stand out in the crowd.
At Adventure Fitness Athletic Club, we believe we’ve created a gym that’s better than the rest in many respects. How is AFAC gym different?
We Care
At many gyms, once they get your money, you might feel like a number, just another member in the crowd. There’s no one to assist you with your questions — it’s only you and anyone else you came in with. You might even feel nervous saying anything to management because they’re unapproachable.
At AFAC gym, we care about our members, staff, and community. We’re a fitness family, regardless of anyone’s age or ability. Our members feel like they can talk to us because we listen to their input and act on it. As a matter of fact, our gym owner, Susan Schaffner, is onsite every day and is always available to speak to members. We do everything possible to help you with your health and happiness!
Our Gym Is Clean and Maintained
Many gyms are dirty and have a lot of equipment out of order.
AFAC gym, however, takes cleanliness and sanitation to another level. We follow extremely strict sanitation policies. For starters, we fog the entire gym and ventilation system with hospital-grade disinfectant regularly. We also provide disinfectant stations throughout the gym for our members to wipe down equipment and their hands before and after each workout. The staff also cleans the showers, common areas, amenities, bathrooms, and offices throughout the day.
Our equipment is also kept in excellent working order. If something’s not right, it’s fixed as quickly as possible.
We Offer Refreshments
At most gyms, you’re lucky to find a water fountain and maybe a food truck nearby where you can purchase food and drinks. But at AFAC gym, we offer water, flavored water, snack bars, protein bars, coffee, tea, and other refreshments inside the gym, free of charge! We also hold regular parties and classes where we serve complimentary meals and refreshments.
