Before & After | Dominique
Another Success Story from Thrive Fitness!
Ten months after having my second child, I was still 20 pounds away from being where I wanted. I had tried a personal trainer at a big gym, running, and dieting. I thought I couldn’t lose anymore, and that this is what I had to settle for now that I was a Mommy.
A neighbor recommended this bootcamp program and I decided to check it out. The first couple of times I wanted to give up because it was too hard, but I also knew it was pushing me harder than anything else I had tried. I kept going and started seeing results immediately. The more results I saw, the more I would go- after 2 months I had lost 3 inches off my waist!!
Nine months later, I’m not only at my goal weight, I’m in the best shape I have ever been in and have even decided to train for a triathlon.
Try the program - you can get so much out of it!

Lloyd Garden, founder of Thrive Fitness is no stranger to discipline and perseverance. Trained by some of the best strength and conditioning coaches collegiately and professionally, Lloyd understands hard work and the attention to detail. Through this hard work and his attention to detail, Lloyd gained the experience needed to customize efficient training programs for all types of clients, from professional athletes to busy executives and stay-at-home moms, who need maximal fitness in minimal spare time.
Lloyd is no stranger to high achievement. Starting from high school, he set football rushing records in the state of Ohio that exists today. After high school, he was heavily recruited by top NCAA football programs but eventually decided to attend the University of Cincinnati and he received a four year scholarship to play for the Bearcats Football team. To cap off his football career, he was signed by the National Football League Seattle Seahawks. Even though his NFL career was short he obtained the necessary ingredients to complete his unique personal training recipe.
Lloyd used his time as a member of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the NFL Seattle Seahawks for his own research and development to tie his knowledge of personal training and athletic conditioning to develop advanced methods to training to help prevent injury and target specific muscles. Lloyd created a full fitness regime from his template of free-weight, bodyweight, and machine-driven exercises, tailored specifically for each client. His main goal is to develop muscular balance in his clients, which is the foundation for more specific goals such as aesthetics, strength and flexibility gains, or developing a more powerful athletic ability.
His methods have touched people of all backgrounds. For more than a decade, he has used his knowledge and experience to develop the bodies and lives of hundreds including Stanford University’s All-American tennis players “The Burdette Sisters” (Erin, Lindsey, and Mallory Burdette), ATP World Tour player Scoville “Sco” Jenkins, and On the Rise Tennis Academy where he helped hundreds of students reach their full potential in the sport of tennis through strength and conditioning.
Lloyd’s philosophy is that when people begin to work towards better health and fitness, they inevitably begin to see more success in life. He designed his personal training studio with his philosophy in mind. The Thrive Fitness studio is strategically designed to provide clients with the most efficient method to accomplish their workouts.
