Anytime Fitness Celebrates Five Years of Growing Strong

East Lyme, CT, October 02, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Growing stronger, getting healthier, losing weight, gaining flexibility, reducing health problems, recovering from injuries or surgeries. Anytime Fitness members have a number of reasons for walking through the door of 17 Liberty Way in Niantic, and they stay for the success. Over their five years in operating the 24/7 fitness club, owners Axel and Lynnea Mahlke have developed relationships with members who now enjoy healthy lifestyles by benefiting from personalized fitness plans and one-on-one attention. Celebrations of their fifth anniversary begin October 5, continue through January 5, and include special events, open houses, and opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles.

“We worked to create a place where the 80 percent of people who don't exercise regularly feel comfortable coming in to learn how exercise can improve their health and make them feel better every day. We are committed to helping people see that just 20 minutes of exercise two or three times a week can improve health significantly,” said Axel, who studied orthopedic medicine in Hamburg, Germany and has been a certified personal trainer for over 19 years. With his unique background, Axel offers a bridge for people who have completed physical therapy for joint replacement or injury, helping them to continue to gain strength, balance and good health while understanding their medical needs.

Friendly, comfortable, spotless and featuring state-of-the-art equipment, the club feels welcoming to members with a wide range of fitness goals, from peak performance to specific health issues. A team of expert, caring personal trainers begin members with comprehensive assessments and develop plans that prevent injury and address past problems. In hiring their staff, the Mahlkes have sought trainers with different areas of specialization so every member finds a perfect match with one of six certified personal trainers and a registered dietitian.

Growing strong has included the expansion of Anytime Fitness this year to include an exercise studio with group classes and workshops. The classes are great motivators for those who love to mix some social time with workouts and enjoy the positive energy in the group. Classes include Zumba, yoga, boot camp, core blast and, for the kid at heart who wants a strong heart, Hooping! Workshops on mindful eating, weight loss, joint care and other topics are taught by the experienced team of trainers.

Anytime fitness is taking five months to celebrate its first five years. Everyone is invited to attend open house events, informational sessions, and health and fitness lectures on topics ranging from the impact of fitness on medical concerns to weight loss to getting the most out of your fitness gadgets.
