9 Months Strong: What We’ve Learned from Our Members
Nine months ago, we re-opened this space with a fresh name, a clear mission, and a big vision: create a gym that actually works for real people. One that’s clean, welcoming, and built around progress—not pressure.
Now, with 839 members and a brand-new expansion complete, I’ve been reflecting on everything we’ve learned from you—the people who show up, put in the work, and make this place what it is.
Here are the biggest takeaways from these first nine months.
Consistency beats intensity. Every time.
You don’t need to go harder. You just need to keep going. The members making the most progress aren’t doing anything extreme—they’re staying consistent, adjusting when life throws them a curveball, and showing up even when it’s not perfect.
Jeanine said it well: “I had an injury I was working around, and Mari came up with a plan I could do with no concern of hurting myself.”
That mindset—adjust, don’t quit—is exactly what leads to long-term results.
Environment matters more than we think.
A gym doesn’t have to be flashy to be effective—but it does need to feel good to walk into. Comfortable, clean, and welcoming.
Jessie shared: “Hands down the best decision I made for my health and well-being… LF is super clean and spacious.”
And Emshika said: “This place truly feels like home… a local gem that welcomes people of all ages.”
That’s what we want to keep building—a place where everyone feels they belong.
Real support makes a real difference.
We all want to feel seen. Whether that means a hello at the door, a plan to work around pain, or someone actually listening when you ask for help with a machine.
Another member put it best: “The owner is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping people find a fitness routine that works for them.”
That’s the goal here. We don’t hand out cookie-cutter plans. We listen. We help. We figure out what works for you.
Celebrating what’s next
In the past few months, we’ve added:
A dedicated cardio room with two new stairmasters
More strength equipment and open floor space
A lounge area for rest, recovery, and community
A pro shop with LF apparel
Onsite physical therapy with Dr. Lance Berry
And soon: full access to Bod Pod body composition testing
All of this came from listening to what you wanted—and seeing how committed this community really is.
Whether you’ve been here since day one or just walked through the door, thank you. You’re the reason this gym feels different. And if you’ve been struggling to stay consistent, just remember: progress doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from keeping at it.
See you in the gym!
