Highly recommend AYC and especially Glen for personal and group training! He brings great planning and energy to workouts that help you push beyond your own limits. Greg and the team have been a pleasure to interact with and the passion for what they do is so evident!

Greg, I was very pleased with Derick as my trainer. Unfortunately he wanted to move on. However, I now have Crystal as my trainer and she is a very good trainer and I like her. She is doing everything to keep me healthy and strong so that I can continue playing tennis long after my current 84 years of age. Thanks.

I have had Ellen as a personal trainer and also as a HIIT class instructor. She's patient and is good at adjusting workouts to meet my needs, even in the group classes. I appreciate her calm demeanor and kind approach. Her classes are well attended by generally the same people - that says more about her abilities than this review. She definitely has a following. I was attracted to AYC because of the smaller classes and the people. Love Nancy, the operations mgr at AYC. Greg and his family are all friendly, dedicated to fitness, and down to earth. You won't find a better place to workout if you

So, I am your typical aging 50+ year-old, former high school athlete. I have always been active and enjoyed distance running, but realized a little over 4 years ago that I was getting injured more frequently. At the advice of a friend, I sought out David Justice at AYC, who has worked miracles on my well-being and conditioning. I started with a commitment to try AYC for 3 months but soon learned that seeing David on a regular basis - mixing in my own workouts - could improve my overall health to a point where its the best it has been in over 20 years. I'm not looking to become a Navy Seal anytime

Nadine is the most awesome yoga instructor I've ever experienced. She always aware of everyone's physical "issues" and gives great guidance/alternative moves/adjustments as needed for individual needs. I so look forward to my yoga sessions twice weekly. It definitely makes a huge difference in my flexibility and physical functioning.
