What is in short supply however is the type of positivity and coaching that comes with all of the staff at Thrive. People are what set the experience apart, whether it is your coach, your partner, your waiter, or your boss. Invest in yourself and your wellbeing, I'm happy I did.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This may sound cliché, but Derek and the other coaches at THRIVE have literally changed my life for the better. I am admittedly TERRIBLE at trying new things, especially in public. I went into this cautiously optimistic and was hooked within the first week. Each session includes a group warmup before proceeding to personalized workouts that are prepopulated in a very user-friendly phone app. Not someone who likes using apps? Lots of folks transcribe their workout plans onto whiteboards and it works great. The team at THRIVE is very good at meeting people where they are at and helping them achieve their growth goals SAFELY. The programming is wholistic and refreshing as you change exercises regularly, but come back to them later and feel progress. It ensures that each week, you've worked out your entire body that leaves you appropriately sore in a way that makes you think "Wow, I absolutely KILLED it. I can't wait for next week." As someone who had VERY little knowledge about working out and deeply prioritized safety, I was hesitant to lift a lot of weight. Within the first few weeks, I had a great understanding of my current capability. Before long, I started to see sustainable progress. Derek and the THRIVE team have helped me to understand my body and it's capability in a way I've honestly never experienced. I used to think that the gym wasn't for me. Now I know that I was just going to the wrong one. I've moved out of the Albany area and not being able to go to this gym three times a week has been one of the hardest parts about leaving. Give THRIVE a try. You won't regret it.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Derek and the Thrive team are first rate. The gym is well equipped, clean, and well run. Thrive is a diverse community of folks at various fitness levels - and Derek tailors each workout program to each member’s unique capabilities and limitations. At age 57, with Derek’s guidance and motivation, I personally have rehabbed an injured shoulder and overcome poor hip mobility to achieve levels of strength I previously never thought achievable.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrive is unlike any other gym I've joined! The basics: Each class is limited to 12 people. Warm up is done as a group, then each person moves on to their personalized plan. This is programmed into an app ahead of time so you can review the workout and individual exercise videos if you so desire. The coach is there to help show you any exercise, from demonstrating it to checking your form to just encouraging you. The coaches are knowledgeable and so supportive, gently pushing to strive for more than I thought possible. In addition to these amazing coaches is a growing, friendly community of fellow gym-goers of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I love Thrive. I think you will, too. Give it a try - your first class is free! Can't wait to see you there.
