Hours: By Appointment

We are now in Placitas, NM, in Homestead Village, 221 State Highway 165, Ste. G, approximately 3 minutes from the junction of I-25 and State Highway 550.

Thanks to Alive! Whole Life Fitness Studio I feel like a new person. I have more confidence in myself, both at home and at work, than ever before.

Jennifer Jaciw

I found Alive! at the advice of my doctor. Without my half-hour twice-a-week workouts, I believe I would be in a wheelchair right now. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Carol Gillum

My ½-hour sessions, once a week, are very beneficial both physically and mentally. I have more muscle, my bones are stronger, and I feel better.

Gayle Earley

Alive! has helped me regain strength and function lost to years of joint deterioration. I feel like I’ve been able to roll back the clock at least ten years.

David Ross

The best thing is the personal attention to form and appropriate, slow adding on of weight. It gives me confidence that I’m working hard, but that I’m not going to injure myself.

Debbie Mytels

I started menopause so keeping my bones and body strong is critical. My trainer makes the workout fun and SAFE.

Kay Harris

The SafeStrength training is fun. My headaches and back pain have decreased to almost zero and I have a lot more energy.

Lara Pai

Wow, what a difference a few weeks makes. I have been doing SafeStrength® for about 6 weeks now and I can really tell the difference.

Denise Brosseau

I thought I had made it when after one year I could put my pants on one leg at a time while standing. That was big. Now, my legs are strong; I can walk the airport miles, haul my own luggage, and stand in long lines with ease and confidence. I no longer experience myself as a handicapped person in need of help at every turn.

Elaine L. Mayland, Ph.D.

My husband, Kevin, and I are both doing strength training at Alive! and not only can we see visible improvement in each other we each feel stronger.

Jeannie Shea

After years of pregnancy, it sure feels great to have my strength back. I’m even stronger than I was in college.

Lynn Strand

The workouts feel very safe and I have no fear of referring any of my friends or patients to him, even the more elderly ones.

Diandra Wood, DC

I had lost 40 lbs of muscle mass following a motorcycle accident and I feel that I’ve regained all of my muscle tone and more.

Chris Wesselman

Over the years I have tried many different programs for exercise and self-improvement and usually gave up rather quickly because nothing worked or gave me the encouragement to continue. ALIVE! works and I notice results every week.

Beth Gerousis

I love slow-strength training because it's a concentrated 20 minute work-out that has taken inches off my body and increased my muscle mass as well as my strength.

Michele Fleury

I love how much progress I'm making for a very modest investment of time.

Joan Gielow

Where I see the most change is in my other sports. I'm a cyclist and the slow motion strength training has really helped me with my hill climbing. Also, it has helped strengthen my core muscles which has affected my golf game.

Carol Stephen

Slow motion, high intensity strength training has significantly improved my life I have better posture, fewer aches and pains (especially less back pain).

Howard Clowes

As a senior, I was sure slow motion, high intensity strength training would be too difficult for me. But with gentle, caring guidance from James, I got a wonderful start. This is truly good for everyone.

Jean Lutzker

Sometimes I think I will just call in and say I'm tired, but I drag myself to Alive! Fitness and once I begin my routine, I start realizing that this is the best thing I could do for myself and for those around me.

Elaine Robesky

I have worked with a personal trainer in the past, but never had a sense I was increasing my level of overall fitness. I highly recommend this method of training for anyone who wants to gain strength without a huge commitment in time.

Ona Andre

I have been able to lift more weight than I ever have done before when working out on my own or with other trainers.

Therese Guittard

I've done resistance training on and off for years, but this strength training method have given me better results than any spa or gym.

Steven Guy Young

I am happily amazed that I am getting very strong, I can fit it into my busy executives' schedule.
