“My one complaint with Thrive Fitness . . .
is that my clothes don’t fit me anymore!
I’ve lost 16 pounds!“
When I moved back to Atlanta someone told me about Thrive Fitness and how client focused they were, as opposed to other gyms in the area, so I decided to check them out.
I met with Lloyd, the owner, and we talked about my goals. I told him that I gained some weight since I got back in town and I would like to lose 5 pounds and start a consistent workout routine. We talked about diet and I made it very clear that I work out during the week so I can enjoy my weekends and that I am not looking to be a “poster boy” for Thrive.
Well here I am…the Thrive philosophy is contagious! My training program consists of group personal training and boot camp. No matter what your fitness level, Lloyd and Kevin (another one of Thrive’s trainers) know how hard to push you as an individual so you get the most out of your workout. The camaraderie in the classes makes every workout feel like you are part of a team and everyone is in it together.
Over the past 9 months I have changed the way that I eat and workout. I can honestly say that I have never felt the feeling of accomplishment that I feel after a workout at Thrive. It makes going to the gym fun! (Of course I won’t say that during the workout)
My one complaint with Thrive Fitness is that my clothes don’t fit me anymore! I’ve lost 16 pounds.
I can only speak of my personal experience but if you really want to understand and feel the Thrive difference, set up a meeting with Lloyd, or any one of his personal trainers, and try one of the classes and experience what Thrive is all about!
Patsy’s Body Transformation
Over the past year I’ve had the most life changing experience by having Lloyd Garden and all of the other professional trainers at Thrive Fitness help me loose 65 pounds. I give credit to personal training for the reason I have been able to stick with this program. My beginner level of activity was welcomed at Thrive and now exercise has become my lifestyle!
Lloyd has developed a space where people with every level of activity will achieve their own personal results. The dedication to my health, my nutrition, and my overall fitness by each trainer at Thrive ensures I never get hurt or feel pain afterwards. The group fitness classes are also challenging and provide a social outlet as well.
Lloyd’s knowledge and experience of proper weight loss and nutrition combined with his unique approach to keeping me motivated has literally saved my life. I encourage anyone who is challenged with weight issues to let Lloyd and the other dedicated trainers at Thrive help you. I have seen great improvement in my body, my fitness level, my energy, and also in my confidence that I can reach my goal of 100 pounds weight loss.
John’s Transformation

I have been going to Thrive Fitness and working out with Lloyd Garden for almost 9 months. I have been a member of a lot of different gyms in the past and worked out with a personal trainer but never achieved results like I have been able to achieve with Lloyd at Thrive Fitness.
The culture at Thrive Fitness is encouraging and engaging. There is more to fitness than just working out or eating the right things. It is a way of life and the social culture at Thrive helped me to adopt the right attitude toward personal training and fitness.
The environment at Thrive and the encouragement provided by the staff helped me to stick with it and make it a way of life.
The Thrive staff combines nutrition, exercise, weight training and education to help you achieve the results that you want. That is the difference that I believe separates Thrive from other health clubs or boot camps.
Tricia’s Transformation

Over the past 11 months I have changed my lifestyle thanks to Lloyd Garden, owner and personal trainer at Thrive. I wanted to start eating healthier, work out and lose weight and make this a way of life. I remember Lloyd telling me it takes 45 days to change a habit, now I truly believe that. That’s me pictured above before (left) and after (right).
I started out with one on one training and added bootcamp so I was working out a total of 5 days a week. Lloyd provided me with an eating plan as well. After three months we took my measurements and I already started seeing the results. This gave me inspiration to continue strong and strive to meet my goal of losing 20lbs. (more…)
Tony’s Transformation
I wanted to thank you and your experienced staff for getting me back in shape in just 3 months. My wife said that this is the best shape that she has seen me in and was overwhelmingly surprised on how much I have changed since I joined Thrive Fitness. She noticed more improvement in my health and appearance in just 2 months at Thrive Fitness verses the last 5 years I invested at a large commercial gym. I’m 38 years old and I now feel and look 10 years younger since I started your program. By attending your classes on average of 4 hours per week for 3 months, I have lost over 15 pounds, decreased my body mass index percentage by 6%, and gained noticeable lean muscle mass. The combination of group boot camp classes and personal training sessions were pivotal in allowing me to achieve my goal and providing me the proper motivation and techniques to burn fat and build muscles within a short time frame.
Your group fitness classes were always diverse, fun, and motivational while the one-on-one sessions were personalized for strength training and keeping me on track with my progress. Surprisingly, your classes allowed me to burn calories at twice the pace than I was accomplishing on my own. My metabolism and stamina have improved drastically without giving into fads that just don’t work. I love that fact that I did not have to spend money on an excessive diet program, invest in diet supplements, or eat prepared meals to get in shape. Thank you for making me healthier and happier.
Sincerely,
Tony S.
Victoria’s Transformation

After having two children in my forties and working full time, I struggled to find time for myself. I did not feel good physically or feel good about myself. I wanted to be a better mother, wife and employee. I decided to take action. I called Thrive and talked to Lloyd and immediately knew this was the right move for me. He has changed my life!
After losing almost 20 pounds, I feel healthy, energetic and alive. It has given me the confidence I needed to excel in all areas of my life. I plan to continue working with Lloyd to improve my strength, maintain my confidence, and live a healthy life.
Dominique – Before & After

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!
Dominique
