The custodial staff quietly goes about their assignments with humble diligence, they are all super friendly and engaging, the classes are free and challenging, and the personal trainers give you your money's worth every time.

This is how I'd sum up my feelings about TD Athletics- I recently was looking to buy a new home,…read moreand I limited the perimeter of my search because I wanted to stay within an easy drive of the gym. I think that says it all...TD Athletics has apparently become the epicenter of my universe! I am in late middle age, and have struggled with chronic illness for almost a decade. It'd gotten to the point where any exercise I engaged in, supervised by a professional or not, quickly ended in fairly substantial injury. For example, a Gentle Yoga class about 18 months ago caused a painful shoulder injury that lasted over a year. About ten months ago, my physical therapist told me about TD Athletics, and I've been going three times a week ever since. I've worked with personal trainers many times over the years, and these guys are absolutely the best. They are really skilled, helping me tweak my workouts so I don't get hurt. They design evolving, truly personalized workouts that keep me interested and challenged. The environment is extremely positive, and even though I was very deconditioned when I started, they've treated me with great respect and constant encouragement. I am feeling much stronger and able to more easily do basic tasks and activities that were a challenge for me before I started. Also, though not explicitly endorsing HAES, their approach is size-neutral- I'm in a larger body and feel really comfortable there. I can't say enough good things about these guys, and particularly encourage folks who have not had a good experience at other gyms to check them out, you won't regret it.

I was truly sorry that this approach did not work for me as I would love to have continued. Regrettably I'm still rehabbing an injury with PT & pain management after 5 months that happened at this gym. Plus the additional knock-on effects to ongoing conditions. My advice to others who are older with either injuries or have a chronic health condition like myself, is to ensure that the team speaks to your doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor or prior trainers to ensure there is a transfer of critical knowledge to minimize or avoid the potential for additional injuries. While they have many adaptations to exercises, without input from these professionals in my case this was not adequate. The extra information would have added important insights. A great gym if the philosophy and approach is a fit for you. If I could figure out how to give three and a half stars on Yelp that is what I would be do!

However, since I am also a girl of a certain age, it's time to get serious about living a healther life, for crying out loud. This place is really special. Especially if you're gym-phobic, like me. First of all, it's only ladies, of all ages, stages, and levels of fitness, and the members are lovely -- supportive and friendly. Second, there's only a few of us there at a time -- this is part of the whole concept -- lots of hands on attention by the very skilled and caring staff. And they really are the best part of the whole deal. Tiz, Kevin, Dave -- they are so committed to each of us and such delightful human beings it's a powerful motivator. I look forward to seeing them each time I go -- reallly! I am physically able to do things I didn't think possible, becasue they genuinely can discern what I'm capable of. They push us, because they know what they're doing. And it makes a difference. I've been there just over a month and I really love it, and can't sing their praises enough. So -- just go.
