At Aspire Fitness it is our mission to create an environment and culture in our gym that best promotes the success of each of our members. Having both worked in traditional
big box gyms, we became increasingly frustrated with the emphasis of flooding the gym with cheap memberships that rely on the member not showing up to make the business
work. So we set out to make a change.

Every member at Aspire Fitness is a VIP. Whether you just take group classes, train privately 4 times per week with a coach, or are just dropping in for a workout with a friend, we guarantee that our coaches and staff are there to make sure you are getting closer to your goals. All of our members receive some level of coaching on proper planning, mindset, as well as nutrition to ensure we are choosing the best strategy to help them reach their goals. Additionally, anytime that you come in to Aspire Fitness you will have a coach available to assist you. Whether you are in a session, taking a class, or doing your program on your own there is always a coach available to help.

To ensure we are delivering the highest level of service possible we are continually improving upon our education. All Aspire Fitness coaches attend 4 seminars each year.
In addition to this, each year we close the gym for 2 days and pay for our team to go the Perform Better Training Summit in Providence Rhode Island. If a better way to deliver client’s results is developed, you can be sure you that we will be studying it, mastering it, and implementing it for our members. We believe fitness is for everyone and should
better your life OUTSIDE of the gym. Regardless of age or ability if you are committed to a better you and willing to make change, we are committed to providing you a
challenging but fun and safe environment to do so.

  If you haven’t had an assisted stretch before – prepare yourself for a great time! Your Flexologist will greet you and discuss your current flexibility, any injuries that you may have and walk you through your session. Stretches are performed on one of our custom designed benches. Your stretch won’t be painful, but your Flexologist will communicate with you throughout your stretch to gauge your comfort level. It’s best to wear clothes you feel comfortable moving in. People wear workout clothes, gym shorts, yoga pants, T-shirts, etc. Jeans and slacks tend to restrict your mobility so we suggest not wearing those types of materials. We require grip socks for your safety and hygiene.

  StretchLab is the industry leader in offering one-on-one assisted stretching. Our employ experienced Fitness Professionals already certified in an array of related fields including Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Medicine, Yoga, Pilates, Personal Training, and/or Massage Therapy. StretchLab’s proprietary Flexologist™ training ensures that their client’s receive a world class stretching session. Our Flexologists will provide one-on-one assisted stretches as well as lead guided group stretching classes for our clients. StretchLab prides itself on having the finest team of stretching professionals.

   MAPS is a revolutionary 3D body scanning tool that provides us with information on how well your body is moving. Your Flexologist will guide you through the scan, help you interpret the results, and use the data to customize your stretch. By just doing three overhead squats, the MAPS machine will use the 3D camera to process thousands of data points to measure your Mobility, Activation, Posture, and Symmetry. After taking a full-body scan, MAPS will immediately provide you with a score that evaluates how well you are moving. Based on your assessment, your Flexologist can better customize your stretch session specifically to your body’s needs and help get you started moving and feeling better! Plus, we will do monthly scans to see your improvement over time.
