Thrive

Who we are

thrive is – quite simply – different.

A different type of training facility. A different attitude. A different
approach. And different results. Lasting results – without injury,
without overdoing it, without getting stuck.

It’s about training with intent, with smart goals like mobility, stability
and strength, that lead to those other goals like muscle mass,
weight loss and positive self image. We’re about serious members,
with a side of fun, who are committed to learning and changing
the way they think about working out. Who care about being part
of a supportive community. Who realize flash doesn’t make you fit.
And that being their best is the best there is.

We help you discover strength you didn’t
know you had, and regain mobility
you haven’t seen since you were a kid.

– Brian Kotoka, founder

When I was a kid I wanted a PlayStation. There was no way my parents
could afford it, so I started a Krazy Bones business. I was 10.
First I practiced with rocks until I became really good. Then I borrowed $10
worth of bones from a friend to play. I lost them all, so I borrowed $10 more
and changed my game. After three weeks, I repaid my investment
and was the proud owner of a PlayStation.

That entrepreneurial spirit lives on in Thrive Fit, where his clinical training,
personal journey from rehab to competition and experience with elite athletes
drives his focus on removing any barriers to people meeting their full potential.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

I grew up shy and awkward. That’s changed.
Everyone has a superhero hidden deep inside.

– Francis Nitsch, mentor

Fitness was my way of learning strength and confidence. My goal now
is to empower people to find their own strength, confidence and self-worth.

People think fitness is simply about changing your body, but the truth is, it’s
about changing your mind. To me, the most rewarding thing is watching that
mindset shift happen in our thrive family. Because once it does, they realize
they can acheive anything. My dream is to build this community where strength
– all kinds – is valued. Where confidence is bolstered.
Where people have fun and become who they truly want to be.

Thrive is that community dream come true.

We’re changing our mindsets, and our lives.
