At Adventure Fitness Athletic Club, our goal is to give our gym members the very best equipment, staff, and workout opportunities available in the Thornton area. On top of that, we are also proud of the support and encouragement we provide to everyone at our gym, regardless of their age or ability. Whether you work out on your own, join one of our awesome classes, or schedule a private session with one of our personal trainers, everyone at AFAC is here to assist and cheer you on, every step of the way.
Most gyms near you don’t offer this level of support, and this is one of the benefits that sets AFAC apart from the rest. Read on to learn more about how our Thornton gym creates a positive environment where you are not just a member, but also an important part of our fitness family.
It all begins with our gym’s mission
The mission at AFAC gym is to help all of our members, our community, and our staff achieve a healthy, happy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. The fun, safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment at our gym is a big part of this mission. After all, when you join a gym where you feel like you’re supported, you’re much more likely to keep going there. And if you keep going to the gym, there’s a good chance you’ll meet or exceed your fitness goals!
Everybody knows your name at AFAC gym
Many of us remember the theme song to the hit TV show Cheers about the neighborhood pub where everybody knows your name. You’ll find the same camaraderie at AFAC gym because we take the time to get to know our members, assist them in any way we can, and let them know how great they’re doing. Sometimes that’s just the motivation you need to keep going! And you’ll be hard-pressed to find that level of care at any other gym near you.
The best gym team gives you the best results
While our gym’s supportive and encouraging environment will help ensure that you stick with a regular exercise program, that alone doesn’t necessarily guarantee the best results. You also need a team of knowledgeable professionals who can teach you the specific exercises, equipment, and classes you need to reach your desired fitness level. The staff and personal trainers at AFAC understand that everyone is different and should have a program designed for their own individual needs. We have the experience and credentials to help members of all ages and fitness levels make progress — as a matter of fact, this is the most rewarding part of our jobs here at AFAC gym.
Meet some workout buddies at our gym
Studies show that making friends at the gym and working out with them could mean that you exercise longer and harder, especially if you think your workout buddies are more fit than you. Thanks to the friendly environment at AFAC gym and the many group classes we offer, you’re sure to meet people you have a lot in common with who will inspire you to keep pursuing your healthy goals. And that goes both ways — you can be an inspiration to others at the gym, as well.
Create healthy habits at the gym
When you first join a gym, one of the hurdles you’ll need to overcome is turning your exercise program into an enjoyable, rewarding habit. The support and encouragement you’ll find at AFAC gym can help you do just that. One way we can help you form a gym habit is through our free exercise classes that we offer to all our members. Research has shown that people who participate in group exercise classes stay with their fitness program longer because it requires them to show up on set days and times, which is a habit-forming activity in itself. Exercising in a group also encourages competition, accountability, and the shared joy of success.
Keep track of your gym success with Myzone
Have you ever heard of Myzone? With this top-of-the-line exercise tracking system offered by AFAC gym, you can monitor the time you’ve spent exercising, your calorie burn, and your heart rate with an amazing 99.4% accuracy. Plus, you can use it anywhere — at the gym, at home, or anywhere else you exercise, indoors or outdoors.
Another incredible benefit of Myzone is the free Myzone app. This app allows you to see your live effort stream at AFAC gym, showing your real-time calorie burn, heart rate, and exercise duration. You’ll also be able to keep track of your daily, weekly, and yearly exercise totals. Plus, you can set up your own personal page and invite friends to join your fitness community where you can “like” each other’s workouts, share tips, and join fun challenges.
We’re a social gym and we support our community
The support and encouragement you’ll find at AFAC gym goes far beyond our state-of-the-art equipment and fitness classes. When you’re not working out, we hope you’ll join us at our regular fun events like our dance parties, fitness challenges, and Pickleball games. We’re also involved in many charitable causes including Project Angel Heart, a local organization that prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people living with severe illness. In addition, our gym owner Susan Schaffner hosts free monthly Bariatric Support Group meetings at the gym for both members and non-members to share their experiences, ask questions, and get the emotional support they need before and after surgery.
Explore the great outdoors with AFAC gym
While we all love the atmosphere inside AFAC gym, sometimes it’s nice to go outside and get some fresh air. That’s why AFAC gym offers outdoor exercise experiences for our members. Whenever you’re ready to explore our beautiful Thornton community, check out our Nordic Walking classes and ElliptiGO classes.
Follow our gym on social media
AFAC gym posts daily updates on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages so that you can keep up with the latest news, see photos of our members crushing their fitness goals, read our informative blogs, check out some healthy recipes, and much more. We hope you’ll follow us, leave comments and pictures of your progress, and let us know how we’re doing by leaving a positive Google review!
