About Thrive Forward

““Increasing age, health concerns and a big yet-to-do list motivated me to start working with Thrive Forward. I like the small group class and the knowledgeable direction that Katie provides that is specific for my needs. Expert guidance on form and correction or adjustments are made. I couldn’t be happier with the results so far. I am not sure why I waited so long to get started but it is never too late to make a difference in your health.””

Your first visit

Your first visit will include a full health history, screening and PT evaluation. Together, we will identify goals that are most important to you. Based upon your goals and assessment, we will develop an individualized program. You then decide which program works best for you: individual or small group sessions. You also decide the days of the week and times that work best for you. Each session will incorporate aspects of your individualized workout regimen and an evidence-based general conditioning program.
