Year after year I continued to try and maintain the weight loss I worked so hard to achieve only to fall back. My health again took a back seat to an over abundance of unhealthy food. Then I found Tina’s program at Fortify Training!! She walked me thru how macros work, how to balance protein, carbs, fats and incorporate them in each meal designed for me. I never starved or felt the urge to over-indulge in satisfying the sugar crave where I would fall off. She brings a wealth of knowledge and actually helped me keep realistic goals within reach. My journey continues with new goals to achieve thanks to Tina.

The positive energy and support from both the staff and fellow members make it a place you look forward to coming to. It’s the perfect mix of structure, creativity, and community.

2025 Updated Review
I wanted to update my review because there’s been some changes at Fortify Training! New location! New programs! Personal training! Great tunes! The owner, Tina Gamache and her coaching staff remain committed to the members and the community that has been built! Due to its boutique style, the coaches at Fortify Training can really focus on a member’s form and provide helpful feedback. The smaller size of Fortify Training creates a welcoming environment with members who are friendly, motivating and supportive of each other. I’ve been a member of Fortify Training for 6 years. I continue to get healthier and stronger. If you’re looking for a fitness community with great classes but more importantly, great people, come check out Fortify Training! You’ll be glad you did!
2021
It all began in January 2019. Fortify Training was offering a 6 week challenge and a friend who knew Tina Gamache, told me about it. We signed up for the challenge with Tina and Fortify. Despite not getting those 6-pack abs after the challenge (lol), I fell in love with Fortify Training! I joined soon after and have never regretted that decision. Tina is passionate about fitness and cares about every member. With such a wide variety of classes in HIIT, Bootcamps, BoxHIT and Kickboxing, boredom is not an option. Tina is an ACE certified personal trainer. I started PT sessions last year to kick my fitness goals up a notch!
Due to Covid in 2020, Fortify Training had to close. Always thinking of the members, Tina began to offer virtual classes. As restrictions have slowly lifted, Fortify Training and Tina have made the recommended adjustments and followed all guidelines to keep every member and all staff safe.
Fortify Training has become my fitness family. Tina is simply the "BEST"! Come on in and try a class! You won't regret it! Fortify Strong! Fortify Fit!

I found Fortify by doing a Google search for local gyms to my area. They had a 3 free day pass and after day 1 I fell in love with the atmosphere, the members, the trainers and the amazing workouts. I always feel better when I walk out of Fortify! It was exactly what I was looking for and even after a short time it feels like a second home to me.

I joined Fortify Training a number of years ago and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The intimate class sizes ensure that everyone gets personalized attention, and the instructors are truly top-notch. They are knowledgeable, motivating, and always ready to help you achieve your fitness goals. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, making it a pleasure to work out here.
One of the things I love most about this gym is the variety of classes offered.
The gym itself is clean and well-maintained, with all the equipment you need for a great workout. The trainers are always friendly and helpful, creating a positive and supportive environment. I've also met some wonderful people here, and it's great to be part of a community that encourages and supports each other.
Overall, I highly recommend Fortify to anyone looking for a supportive and effective fitness community. The personalized attention, knowledgeable instructors, and welcoming atmosphere make it a fantastic place to achieve your fitness goals.

Fortify Gym is in a class of its own. Trainers are professional and truly listen to the needs and goals of each client. In addition, Fortify Gym has a supportive atmosphere were members support each other to attain fitness goals. Recently, with a focus on strength training I've experienced gains that I haven't had in years.
Thank you Fortify!!

The workouts at Fortify Training are exactly what I was looking for. I love the Sweat45 classes that are a mix of cardio and core, but I can mix it up with just strength classes – no two classes are the same, there’s tons of variety. The best part is that I’ve noticed my muscles are toned, my posture is better, and my belly is looking flatter!

I've been a member of Fortify Training for the past 7 years and it's been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals. The supportive and motivating environment, combined with the excellent equipment and knowledgeable staff, has created the perfect space for me to progress. I've trained in strength classes, as well as, crossfit-like classes and the staff has been amazing. With the improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall well-being since joining, I've been incredibly grateful for the positive impact this gym has had on my life and would highly recommend Fortify Training to anyone looking to improve their fitness..

The trainers are so knowledgeable and helpful. Along with classes, they offer programs such as Glute Gains or Mitts. I have participated in them and love them! I definitely recommend you to give Fortify Training a try!

Tina is hands down the best trainer I have worked with. When I joined Fortify, I was trying to get back into workout regularly after having 2 kids in my 40’s. From the minute I walked into my first class, Tina made me feel comfortable and welcome. Her workouts are hard and she will push you to push yourself, providing modifications as needed. After I was in the swing of things, I decided to do PT with Tina. These 1:1 sessions have helped me to build my strength and muscle tone— driving me to my goals. The workouts are tailored to me and my ability, while pushing me to the next level. It is also great that Tina is such a nice person and easy to talk to, I look forward to my morning sessions.

Simply amazing! My original gym closed in January of 2022. I tried another gym for 6 months. Was not the right place for me. Found myself at Fortify Training during their 20 days for $20 promotion in November of 2022. After my promotion ended, I immediately joined Fortify AND prepaid for the entire year! Tina and her staff are super knowledgeable, motivating and friendly. The gym/class vibe is all about camaraderie and doing YOUR best! Great place, you won't be disappointed.
Update, still working out at Fortify Training. Been training at FORTIFY for over 2 years now. New location, new space, new classes and new trainers! KEEPING IT FRESH AT FORTIFY! If you're looking for a new training regimen in 2025, look no further.

I have been a member of Fortify Training for 6 years. This fitness center offers Personal Training and group classes. For the past 5 years, I have been doing personal training with Tina, which has helped me keep myself as healthy as possible. Being 57 and living with an autoimmune disease is not easy - there are days I don't feel well enough to get out of bed, but knowing I have dedicated time, I have to be there forces me to move. I also have a very demanding job, forcing me to step away from the work and de-stress. All the trainers have different skill sets to bring to Fortify, which allows you to pick/choose the skill level for you. All of us members have become like family. They all supported me and my family during a time of crisis and stepped up when my nephew was battling Leukemia, some that I didn't even know well at the time, but I do now. Tina also tries to make our fitness journey fun by hosting off-site events at local breweries, run/walk events, and Fortify nights out to unwind and enjoy each other's company. I highly recommend Fortify Training for anyone looking for fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being, but in a more personalized setting where you work out with friends!

I was recently introduced to Fortify Training, when the prior gym I was going to closed. The coaches and members alike are all very welcoming and supportive of each other. In addition to sweat and strength classes, they offer personal training, specialty classes, and nutrition programs, with some (optional) fun challenges thrown in here and there to keep you motivated. They are a great little community that I'm happy to be a part of now. I highly recommend giving them a try!

I have been an active member of Fortify Training for almost 8 years. Fortify has adapted with me and my needs during that time. I love that I can choose in person or virtual classes or 1:1 instruction. Over the years I’ve been able to do morning or night classes to adjust with my schedule.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve also wanted to add more weight training into my routine and Fortify has allowed me to go from 60 min of weight training a week to 3 hours! It’s made a huge impact in my confidence and body definition. Tina and all the trainers know each member by name and are so motivating.
There are optional challenges and additional classes being added all the time. If you are looking for a fitness routine you can stick with, choose Fortify.

I would recommend Fortify Training to anyone looking to get in shape. Fortify is a super welcoming environment with small classes so you really get to know everyone. All the trainers have a different style and class set up so if you go weekly it doesn't become monotonous and are super friendly. Modifications are always offered if an exercise is too much for you which is great to keep your motivation up during class. As someone who never went to the gym a year ago, I truly look forward to seeing my Fortify family every morning!

I have been at Fortify now for two years and this gym community is nothing like I have ever experienced. The trainers are so knowledgeable and encouraging. Whether i am taking a strength and conditioning class or going to Personal Training, every time I leave the gym, I feel stronger and accomplished. Each trainer at Fortify brings their personal style to class. The community at Fortify have become family and the gym owner, Tina Gamache, has truly fostered an environment where you can truly succeed in reaching your own personal goals and have a fun time in the process. I have seen the changes and will continue at Fortify where i know I can reach all of my goals.

Tina has always been knowledgeable and dedicated and it shows when you come to Fortify Training.
It's not one of those overcrowded gym chains where you feel judged. Fortify is a great more personal experience with personal training, small classes and a friendly atmosphere where you can't help but feel like you've always been a member!
I really enjoy the personal training. One on one sessions are phenomenal! Tina is patient and very motivating. She is always pushing me to do my best while making sure I'm using the proper form. She makes me want to be there! One thing is for sure, whatever way you choose to work out, you will be at home at Fortify Training!

Foritfy Training is simply the best private gym around! At this gym, the owners, coaches, and members know everyone on a first name basis. Let’s be honest, going to the gym, especially a new gym can be a little nerve-racking, but at Fortify you truly feel welcomed. If ever I have any questions pertaining to workouts or even food, both Tina and Corey are always more than willing to share their fitness knowledge. Their group classes are always fun to take and the coaches are always so enthusiastic. The fitness gym is great! I love it simply because it’s never overcrowded, so you’re not waiting around to use the machines or weights. Lastly, I love their nutrition plan program. I would recommend Tina to anyone who asks. Tina is great!

Fortify Training is one of the best private gyms around. The studio is small, but the variety of gym equipment is effectively organized, and it's always very clean. I've been a member for almost a year now and I love the staff, they are friendly, supportive, and non-judgmental. I'm going into my fourth round of personal training with Carter and all I can say is that he's amazing! I've been slowly recovering from a knee and ankle injury, but since joining Fortify, I'm stronger regained flexibility, and have more stamina and I can't wait to join the 5 a.m. classes.

I first started working out with Tina back in 2017 and always enjoyed her workouts and feedback, so much so that she continued to be the "coach" voice in my head even while I was working out at home. I recently wanted to join a small gym, and Fortify was #1 on my list. I'm glad I joined Fortify Training and have greatly enjoyed the classes, even at 5:15am! Tina has truly created a fun, supportive environment at Fortify and has selected a great group of trainers. I look forward to continuing at Fortify for years to come!

Fortify is more than a gym, it’s a family. From day 1 I got a feeling of being part of a family that you can see when attending classes or just going in for a quick workout. Covid I think took an element away from my training and it was hard to get back on track. Fortify has made that seem like it never existed where I now am at the gym at least 5 days a week. Another huge part is that it opens real early and closes late that at times I feel like I own the place when I get there first thing in the morning.
Fortify is a hidden gem and the owner Tina and her staff have made it an easy transition to getting in better shape.

When i first started at Fortify training I was doing the classes and loved it. Each instructor motivates you and is supportive throughout the workout! However, this past year I decided to just move to doing the gym on my own. It worked better for me to work on my workouts for going back to school as an athlete. Most of the time I am able to get the gym to myself which has helped me a lot. I used to not want to workout at a gym as I didn’t like the idea of working out in front of people. Fortify has allowed me to be comfortable with working out in a gym by myself as they have created nothing but a supportive environment!

Before joining Fortify I had little to no motivation to work out. I'm a dog walker and walk about 8 miles a day and thought well that's enough exercise but it still left me feeling I needed more for myself. I've been attending the classes for about a month now and I'm loving that team feeling that we are all in it together and the instructors are just what I needed a balance between being hard on us but also praising us when it gets tough!!! I am so excited to see where I am physically and mentally within the next year! Let's get it!

Never did I think I would be comfortable working out in a small gym however, I LOVE IT. It’s been a little under a month since I have started, but I fully enjoy Fortify. The instructors are all so kind and really want you to have the best work out.
This place is so positively motivating that I truly enjoy waking up to attend any group class. And…. It’s the little things right?
Right from day one all the instructors greet you by name and during the work out hearing your name “you got this”, “you’re strong” “great form” it definitely adds to the “its you’re work out”.
Highly recommend!

Fortify Training was exact fit when being out of the gym due to the covid pandemic. I was afraid to go back into the gym, but Fortify has a safe working out environment because every member have their own kickboxing bag and weight equipment at each station which eliminates spreading germs and after each class members are encouraged and given sanitary wipes. So if u r looking for a clean free environment, come on down and check ✔️ it out. U want be disappointed. Thanks to all the instructors who are dedicated to helping members meet their fitness goals.

From bootcamp to treadcore to gym class, all of the classes are challenging, and the trainers are great. Never thought I'd be so motivated to wake up at 5 AM to workout!

I LOVE THIS GYM! It’s really so much more than a gym, it’s an amazing supportive community of wonderful people. I’ve been a member taking classes for 5 months and all the members and trainers were very welcoming from the start. The trainers have the perfect combination of encouragement and knowledge. The classes are really fun and challenging, and the instructors always gave great modifications for when I was just beginning so I could keep up. I’ve built up my strength and endurance in short time. The class times in the early morning are great for me to get my workout in before work. The gym is always meticulously clean. And they frequently hold special events to keep things fun (Bootcamp & Brews!) I truly appreciate Tina and the whole team there. Joining this gym has been such a great experience for me.

Both a great place for a beginner or the experienced that wants to focus on their needs.
Do you want a niche fitness experience or the typical gym experience?
Fortify Training has:
1)New equipment 2)Low traffic gym use 3)Supportive small group fitness 4)What feels like a family of friends
At the "Typical Gym", the equipment is old & often broken, it's crowded, there's few or exclusive fitness 'groups' to join, and nearly everyone's a stranger.
Does a Typical Gym have social group fitness outings to local brewers?
Does a Typical Gym have organize a group to run the local 5k?
Does a Typical Gym have Christmas/New Years parties hosted by the owner?
Well....Fortify Training does.
FT has functional strength boot camp, cardio kick boxing, and personal training available from athletes and competitors.
Traditional weightlifting equipment: bench, squat rack, 8-50lb dumbbells', treadmill, row machine, multi-functional cable machine, and a decent truck tire for flipping.

Tina and the whole team at Fortify Training welcomed me with open arms. They continue to provide quality classes and have created a community where people of all ages, skill levels, and lifestyles can come together and have an optimized workout each and every time. Even as I fall off the wagon with regular exercise, I know I can pick myself up and be supported by everyone there. The virtual class options are great, especially during these uncertain times in the pandemic. And Tina is always working to improve the variety and times of classes offered. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a place where you can work on yourself without feeling judged, but at Fortify Training, everyone wants everyone to succeed, which is amazing. If you want to be a part of a great community to support you on your health journey, this is the place to be.

Tina was super helpful form the beginning. I had recently moved to the area and was looking for a new training facility that I could call home. I tested out a few other locations, including some fancy gyms as well but they were all missing something. I took advantage of the 3 day pass and tried out Corey’s Bootcamp class. I immediately felt at home with all the other members and it truly felt like a family environment. Everyone was so nice and welcoming so naturally I signed up! Not to mention being able to add on the gym membership to the class membership for very affordable pricing! I love the flexibility and all the offerings so far. Happy to have found this place!

I have been working with Tina and my 14 year old has been working with Corey doing strength and conditioning training 2-3x/week for 12 weeks now and am so glad we took the leap.
Fortify feels like a boutique gym without the attitude or price of one and the members have been nothing but welcoming and supportive. I feel healthier and stronger than I have in a long time and look forward to upping my weekly sessions!
My 14 year old voluntarily got up early all summer and was on-site doing personal training before heading to work each morning and was so glad he did after a sedentary Covid year despite his initial reservations.
Plenty of on-site parking and easy access to highways as well.

I've had a great experience at Fortify! I was looking for a trainer post partum and Tina came recommended on some of the mom pages I follow. Because of Covid - it was nice to find a small gym that is clean, organized and has a tight-knit community. During training, I am often one of the only customers in the entire gym. All of the training sessions are unique, fully customized to me and my goals, and effective. The team there meets you where you stand - whether you are already in shape or a long way from it. They are friendly, knowledgeable and I've had a great experience - highly recommend Fortify!

I have been following Tina since before she opened Fortify training. I got hooked on her kickboxing classes and teaching style. She is motivating and encouraging, and brings a positive energy to all her classes. I was thrilled to see her open her own studio and watch it grow over the past few years. The studio is very clean and sanitized regularly which I really appreciate, having been to other gyms. I also like the atmosphere and camaraderie at Fortify. Members support each other and cheer each other on. It is not your typical commercial gym. If you are looking for a new gym or fitness experience where you can get the best workout, as well as support a small business of someone who loves her work and is truly dedicated to helping members, then check it out and join the Fortify Fam! You will not be disappointed! They also offer class cards for anyone looking to try it out.

Fortify Training has really helped me get back on track with a healthy lifestyle. I used to take the classes until I injured my shoulder. After going to physical therapy for 6 weeks my shoulder still didn’t feel right in classes so Tina gave me the option to start personal training to build back the strength in my shoulder and I love it! It was nice to have this option and look forward to eventually getting back to classes especially kickboxing.

I was referred to try out Fortify by another member... and I’m so glad I tried it. The thing I love about the gym the most are the variety of classes that are offered at different times/days of the week.
You sign up weekly for the classes (on a super easy app) that you will attend~ I love this most because it holds me accountable!!! Even on those mornings I don’t want to get up and work out - I go because I committed . I am so busy that so I go to the 6 am classes and I love them! They are short and totally worth it . You work really hard but by the time you are ready to give up (lol) it’s over. You totally can pace yourself - but no matter what you will work hard and get a great full body work out. I Also have felt ZERO judgment there - which is so uncommon in classss and gyms (in my experience) the women and men in all the classes I’ve been to are nice and supportive- they make you feel like welcome and I find that so refreshing. There is a great community there- everyone stays connected through social media (and a private messenger group ) which also makes things a lot easier - knowing you have a bunch of people going through the same thing. although I should be going every day I only go 2-3 times per week and I walk about 3 miles on the off days - I’ve lost 10 lbs in a few months. Highly recommend trying it out !

I cannot say enough about Tina Ganache and Fortify Training. Back in late 2017, I started working directly with Tina as a Personal Trainer, and immediately noticed changes and results. In 2018 as mede the decision to Join Fortify Training as a member to benefit from all that Tina and her studio had to offer. This was the best personal decision I've made. Over the past 5 years I've lost over 40 pounds, gained muscle and tone, but more importantly, I've gained a better healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.
Today you can still find me at the Fortify Training Studio in Lawrence MA. sometimes twice per day. This amazing studio offers the best options of workout, top instructions from certified trainers, and a complete family atmosphere.
Best decision I made was to invest my health into Fortify Training, hope to see you make the same decision! 💪🥊

I joined Fortify Training a couple months ago because I needed to mix up my gym routine and I’m so happy I did! I really enjoy the variety of classes Tina offers. Fortify has the kickboxing classes that I love along with bootcamp, HIIT classes, yoga and she always seems to be adding more! I’m excited to take advantage of the new gym area and considering some personal training sessions so I can get the most out of my workouts.
As for the staff, Tina and her team are amazing! Professional and friendly, they care about your goals and help keep you motivated.
The members are another reason that keeps me coming back. They’re a friendly, welcoming and supportive community that make my daily workouts more fun and enjoyable!
I’ve belonged to other gyms that I’ve grown bored of but with Fortify’s exciting class variety, new gym space, great staff and wonderful community of members, I can’t see that happening any time soon! I highly recommend Tina and her team at Fortify Training.

Joining Fortify Training was one of the best decisions I made for my personal fitness. The workouts are challenging and they offer a wide variety of workouts from HIIT to Bootcamps to BoxHIIT to KickBoxing.
The workouts are led by personal trainers who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement.
You will not leave disappointed! I highly recommend checking this gym out.

Fortify Training and Tina have changed my whole perception on health and fitness and what a gym should be. I have learned an incredible amount that I use in my daily life! I never know what to expect during the the group classes which I love, and they feel like they fly by! I have started personal training with Tina herself and the results I have been seeing are so motivating. She switches it up every week, and works around my hectic nursing schedule. The atmosphere of the small group classes keeps me accountable, and also creates a team environment. The relationships I’ve formed with other members are like none other. Fortify continues to expand in every way and it is exciting to see what will be next! Joining Fortify Training has been one of the best things I could have ever done for myself.

Fortify training in the best (second) family you could ask for. Tina and all the trainers are so supportive of one another and will help you when ever you ask! They don’t hesitate to help you with form or help on ways to improve your diet and routine! All members supportive of one another and this gym is an all-around positive atmosphere you can’t wait to get in for a class at whatever time of the day it is!
If you are looking for a change in gym or workout styles my biggest suggestion would be to give Fortify Training a try and you will love it!!

I joined Fortify in 2019. The classes are challenging yet fun. The instructors are knowledgeable and always offer modifications. I really enjoyed the classes and the members are really supportive of one another. If there are any concerns or issues, Tina addresses them immediately. With Tina as my personal trainer, I have learned so much and still am learning. She is very supportive and attentive. Never once have I felt like she's too hard on me. She knows how much to push me, but also know when to go slow. She's really one of the best trainers I've ever had. Highly recommend Tina and Fortify Training!!

Tina kills it when it comes to ensuring you are getting a top notch group fitness session! When you walk out of a class you are ready to tackle anything that comes your way! It doesn’t matter what shape or size you are, Tina just wants you to be you and know whatever pace you are at during the group class you did one hell of a job! If you want to hit your fitness and/or weight goals, Fortify Training is where you need to be!😀

The most amazing family at Fortify Training! Every member welcomes you with open arms and a 100% judgement free environment! The owner, Tina, takes so much pride in what she does, without her my fitness goals never would have been reached. Tina offered private group trainer where I was able to get a group of friends training with me to get ready for my wedding! Tina offers support whenever and however you need it! This is more than a gym, it’s a family and everyone’s rooting for you!

I joined Fortify Training in August of 2020. After my free class I was hooked. I had tried many diets, had a membership to a gym I wasn’t using, and I was just in a funk. I knew I had to get back on track one way or another, so I decided to give Fortify a shot. I have been going to classes consistently since I’ve joined, completed challenges to help me with a better diet and exercise routine for a better lifestyle, and have seen an improvement in my overall health. Classes are fun! Tina makes sure each class is structured to get the most out of your 30 or 45 minute workout.
The studio is clean, covid guidelines are strictly adhered, and classes must be scheduled for both availability and to follow social distancing guidelines. I highly recommend Fortify Training for anyone at any fitness level!

Tina and Fortify are amazing! I have been doing personal training for almost a year and added the class membership 3 months ago. Tina is great at breaking nutrition, cardio and weight plans down for me so I can maximize my efforts. I’ve worked with other gyms and feel that Tina understands me, my body and what I need. The group classes and other members are fantastic! They are all supportive, fun and super motivating. Anyone looking for great training with a great atmosphere, look no further than Fortify!!

I joined Fortify last summer unsure of what to expect. Today I can say that I never belonged to a fitness club, gym, etc that I have enjoyed and received so many benefits from- physical and mental well-being benefits. Tina Gamache, who owns the gym, is in a class of her own. She motivates members, makes everyone feel important and worthy and keeps us on our toes with her custom work-outs. Best. Gym. Ever. Best. Trainer. Ever.

I don't have enough good things to say about Tina and Fortify training. Tina is incredibly motivational and supportive! Through her help I fell in love with fitness again after going overkill with mundane, routine workouts in college. Tina has a wide variety of classes to attend, including boxing, kickboxing and HIIT classes, to name a few, at convenient times for those who work all day in the office. I never feel bored. With my long history of injuries I felt very comfortable working with Tina since she always puts safety first and encourages you to tailor the workouts as needed. Don't get me wrong, I always leave workout incredibly sore! She, along with the rest of the fortify fam, knows just how to motivate you to push yourself to reach your potential. I found out about Fortify when my friend convinced me to come to one of her classes (it was St. Patrick's day and my friend convinced me to wear a silly outfit with her) and since then I was hooked! The best part was that I never felt out of place wearing something silly because the fortify family thinks the same way me and my friend do - life is too short, you have to enjoy it and laugh! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, even to a shy introvert like myself. Our Fortify family is ever growing and we love to see new faces, don't hesitate to come by and check it out! I'm so glad I did :)

Thank you Tina for setting up a very successful Virtual option for those of us who just aren't quite comfortable yet being in the studio. I appreciate very much being able to just wake up, and work out in my basement with a boxing bag, kettle bells, weights, yoga mat, water and my laptop! You always make it easy by sending the workouts ahead of time online so we are able to follow the day of and also show us what we're working on prior to us doing it. Although I miss being in the gym as well as being in person with the fortify family, I'm so thankful to be able to stay fit and have you as a coach Tina! Thank you for being so accommodating and helpful!

I recommend Fortify Training gym if you are looking to being part of a different environment, rather then the 'typical gym'. The classes are great, never boring, always different. Tina is the best coach, always there to encourage you and answer any questions. Tina as well as all the other members motivate each other and want you to succeed to reach your goals.
