DARYL KIRBY

MEMBER SINCE

JANUARY 2017

Daryl Kirby is the definition of a hard-worker.  He is consistently attempting to learn new things about movement, exercise, and other fitness strategies.  Daryl’s inquisitive attitude toward fitness has driven him forward on the road to achievement.  This includes a leaner body composition, better mobility, and conquering the KB Swing – a goal he set for himself and was determined to achieve.

It’s not always easy to motivate oneself, and Daryl does this with ease as well as repeatedly finding ways to get others going too.  A simple high-five, a subtle, “Let’s Go!”, as well as, the constant support for those around him in a session; all of these things help make others feel stronger, and feed off of Daryl’s positive attitude.

Daryl is often found wearing a cut-off tee and a smile during the afternoon sessions, and most recently, planking on the beach during his summer vacation.  We’d like to commend Daryl on all of his hard work and dedication to the process, and are grateful to have him as a member of our community.

“Daryl is a nice guy to have in sessions. He’s positive, friendly and hardworking.”

— Randy Hoy, Fellow TFL Member

                                  Daryl and his wife, Karen.

KATIE MORIN

MEMBER SINCE APRIL 2012

Katie Morin has been a member of Train for Life for over 5 years and with her long time commitment and dedication to her training has completed over 750 workouts with us!  Katie is a model member who always strives to do her best and can always be called upon to demonstrate any exercise with perfect technique.

Katie is always a friendly face in every class she attends welcoming friends and new members alike.  She consistently looks for improvement in all of her movements and is never too proud to ask for help when learning a new skill.  With her strength training experience, she never hesitates to lend a hand to a member or an encouraging comment. 

Katie is proof that hard work and commitment to our system pays off, as she is usually toward the top of the leader board during our challenges, often times putting up comparable numbers to women half her age.   We are humbled to have Katie continue to put her trust in us, and hope to continue to motivate and guide her for many more years to come.  CONGRATS KATIE!

“I love walking into class and seeing Katie.  She always has a smile on her face.  She is consistent, and never complains so you couldn’t ask for a better training partner.”

— Kristin Cressotti

Large Group Program Update

        This past weekend marked our 5th anniversary of Train for Life opening at 340 McKinstry Avenue.  Over the last 5 years, we’ve worked toward creating a results-driven program by blending the most current in exercise science with strength and conditioning workouts.  It’s always been our goal to keep our program energetic and intense while balancing the physical needs of our members in order to prevent injury and improve movement.

        While the standards that we’ve held high over the last 5 years will not change, we will be revamping our Large Group Template allowing us to add more variety and training options to our current program.  We are certain that with this new training model members will be motivated and eager to stay in a fitness regimen that is beneficial, competitive and enjoyable for all training levels.

        Along with this change, we will attempt to preface each phase and educate you on the most suitable program selection to fit your specific goals.  It is, and has always been, our mission to inspire others to move well, be strong and enjoy life.  A proper movement foundation will always rank first and foremost in our model.  We will continue to add assessments and help direct you through the program that best fits your current physical capabilities.  From there, a blend of workouts are designed to increase strength and burn fat.  Each member is unique and we feel this new structure will allow us to efficiently manipulate our program to provide the individual solutions you are all looking for in a group training environment. 

Our new phase will be laid out as follows:

Monday – Strength A
Tuesday – Metabolic Conditioning
Wednesday – Strength B
Thursday – Metabolic Conditioning
Friday – Strength C
Saturday – Your Choice...

7:00AM - Advanced Lift (Strength Based)
8:30AM/10:00AM - Metabolic Conditioning

        We are excited for this update and hopeful that many of you will embrace this change.  As always, we implore you to provide us with feedback, as it’s the best way for us to continue to evolve.
