StrongerLife

Best 55+ fitness program of all time! StrongerLife group classes focus on helping folks get strong enough for everyday life like picking up heavy boxes, grandchildren, dogs, etc! They also focus on balance, coordination, and more!Everyone is super welcoming and you'll make lifelong friends :)

After not finding the right trainer for me and my physical issues, I started Stronger Life in September 2022. I was immediately impressed by the rationale behind the exercises and the trainers’ ability to modify any exercise for whatever issue you might have. They respect the goals you have set for yourself instead of making you feel that you have to be doing things exactly as others in the class or as they have always done it. There is no sense of competition and the participants have created a welcoming culture of encouragement and support. You will be challenged, but supported in ways that ensure your success. And success doesn’t necessarily mean weight loss unless you want it to be. I appreciate the focus on strength and functionality over traditional gym “fitness” goals. The fact that this is a program designed by physical therapists for people 55 and older means that the trainers are actively thinking about what will improve your quality of life, and you are also working out with people who are all experiencing the toll that aging can take on the body. The goal is to be a better you for all those everyday and special things you want to do! And the sense of community is incredibly important. I am so glad this program is in Lexington!

I have been going since June! The workouts are well thought out and designed to make you stronger! I was able to carry a 1880 blanket chest with one other person, 200 feet and help load in car yesterday! It amazed me! All workouts have built in modifications so you don’t have to worry about that bad knee or other joints. No judgement if you modify or stop for a break. Instructions are easy to follow. Two Physical Therapists and two amazing techs are involved the entire hour. Happy and friendly place too! Best health insurance you can have is a strong body. Love this fitness group!Try a class!!

I’ve been a member for three years now and have not gotten bored with the program. The coaches come up with new routines each week and have never repeated the same sequence of exercises.Each day we do some cardio mixed with working different muscle groups as well as balance work ( so important for us as our hearing and eyesight age). It never gets old and routine. I can modify any of the exercises especially anything that puts stress on my knee caps since both are replaced so injury or past surgeries are not an issue. Looking forward to our own facility and more hours for classes.Still is the BEST program for 55 and older adults period!I am 72 years old and was starting to have some issues climbing stairs and trying to move around my dogs. I started StrongerLife in February 2020 and was very happy with my progress and then everything shut down. Once we started back up again in June I quickly came back to where I was and have since gone beyond what I thought I could do. You are never too old to get those unused muscles working again! Jeff and Dustin are great at motivating you to push on and modifying any movement that you can’t do.Update: I finally broke down and had my right knee replaced as it was bent enough to make walking any distance painful. I had surgery the day after Thanksgiving and was doing physical therapy by Monday. I was driving by the middle of December and was back in the gym doing StrongerLife (only three days at first) by the middle of January. I was released from PT the first part of February and can say that this recovery was all due to StrongerLife getting me ready for the surgery and keeping me energized afterward. I am 74 now and LOVE this program!

I tried stronger life because I wasn’t happy just doing machines at the gym. I wasn’t sure if I’d be challenged (since I’m on the young end of the age spectrum at 56)but that concern was resolved after the first workout. These guys design the workouts to be fun and challenging to you regardless of your age, strength or fitness level. After a month I’m completely sold on Stronger Life and really happy with the results!

Three Reasons to Join Stronger Life:1) The workouts are designed so that we can decide on the amount of effort. If we feel strong we can push ourselves. If we want to go easy, we can still do that with any of the workouts. They show you how.2) The workouts are scheduled. I've been a member of many gyms where you can go ANY TIME. The problem is, I told myself I have plenty of time, so I'll go tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. I kept postponing. This way I've made a date/appointment, and I make it a point to be there.3) The staff takes the time to get to know each of us. When I get there someone always greets me by name.I'm not just a member... I belong there.

I began StrongerLife to have have a longer life with my wife. Since then my wife has joined StrongerLife and we have both gain a lot more strength, balance and confidence in all areas of our life. The classes are different each time and are well planned and coached.

I’m so happy to say that I’ve been a member of StrongerLife for six months. My previous gym was closing and I didn’t know where to go! I read many reviews and found my ‘home” at StrongerLife! It’s strictly for those 55 and older! Routines developed by the owners , who are Doctors of Physical Therapy! I never dreamed I’d be lifting weights, rowing, etc and enjoying it! PLUS, I hadn’t been able to run because of my knees in 10 years! Woohoo! I even won 3 medals in the Kentucky Senior Games! I have so many new friends and feel so much better!

Stronger Life has definitely been a “game changer“ in my life. When I started, I was no longer in good shape, lacked energy, etc. I basically sat around for a year after losing my partner, John, and this was exacerbated by the Covid pandemic. I always had been very active prior to that, with traveling, hiking, exercise. I knew I wanted to find a gym, and looked for one, but it was my daughter who did research and found Stronger Life! She called and said “I found the perfect gym for you! “. She was absolutely right. The trained professionals who are our coaches, include two Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT). They plan and coach most of the classes that are geared towards the 55 and over population. Individual exercises can be adjusted and tailored for you, as needed.For me, I realize I look and feel so much better!! This includes a 10 pound weight loss, toning and gaining strength and balance. One of my favorite aspects of this gym, is the social contacts that are made from being in class with people who have similar goals in life: and want improved overall health too. I absolutely love it!❤️

Great place to workout, I’m 57 and they focus on my needs to build strength and keeping my muscle and bone strength. They are one of a kind and really do a great job 👏 …
