Had a great time training here. Everyone was very cool and took me in for the weekend that I trained. Scott gave a great private lesson that helped tremendously. Thanks again to the staff, Gina, Adam, and Emily. Ill be back every time I visit Kentucky.

November 10, 2014Enjoy this place and the people involved a lot! And they never make you feel discouraged. Everyone pushes each other in a great way. Really wish I could take AFS academy with me around the world.

Our 5 year old daughter as well as my husband were lucky enough to be able to train with Coaches Scott, Gina and Adam when we lived in Berea for 3 months. This is an amazing program and one of the biggest reasons we were sad to leave the area!

October 16, 2018I've trained at many different gyms, in Kentucky and Massachusetts, and none match what AFS brings to the table. Everyone is very respectful, humble, and have very much of a team mindset where they are willing to help everyone get better. The coach, Scott Elliot, is a great man and very skilled, and that skill shows through the entire team there at AFS. I could go on and on about this place, but if you are looking for a place to train, I definitely recommend AFS.

Coming from someone who enjoys traveling and training, each time I visit AFS it’s a great experience. Working with these guys and gals you are sure to improve in anything they have to offer. Clean facility and quality instruction.

If your looking for a perfect nonjudgemental challenging core workout Gina's DDP YOGA class is for you. She encourages each and every participant to get the most out of their workout. Very professional and welcoming.
