Our vision is to create a fit and healthy community that strives for elite level fitness performance.

Our Philosophy

At Tri-Lakes Community Fitness gym, our primary focus is on function and human performance, not body image.  We view intensity as the key component of any fitness program.  We do not isolate muscles.  Our training is based on constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.  These movements are required for independent living.  We do not believe in short cuts, we demand commitment.  We believe that the way you eat determines how you live.  For us, feeding the body the proper balance of food is critical for performance.  We help our members pursue elite fitness and develop to their maximal potential.  We strive to challenge our members to improve their quality of life and enhance their fitness levels through the pursuit of function.
