The same method we've used for a decade. Now for everyone.
For over a decade, True Grind Systems has used one training method to improve performance and reduce injury risk in youth-to-professional athletes. Athletes For Life brings that same method to everyone.
Every level
Every movement scales, and your coach tells you which version is yours. We coach 13-year-olds and 60-year-olds in the same class.
Fully coached
Every class is 50 minutes and led by a TGS coach. One unlimited membership, no tiers and no punch cards.
The long game
Not for a completion grade. For longevity, for true strength, and for whatever life brings next.
You always know what you're walking into.
Come once a week or six. Every class is built from the same three parts, so whichever days fit your schedule, you always get a strength touch and a conditioning touch.
How every class runs
Day by day
Full Body Strength
Foundational strength across the core patterns: squat, hinge, push, pull and carry, scaled to your level. The day to get stronger.
Full Body Power
The same foundational patterns, trained for speed and explosiveness instead of load: jumps, throws, sprint mechanics and agility. The day to move fast.
Work Capacity
Raise how much work your body can handle, how hard, and for how long. Intervals and circuits, no heavy load required. The day to build your engine.
Control & Core
Balance, core bracing, getting up off the ground with control, and rotational control rotate through class. Lower load, more body awareness.
Freaky Friday
The wildcard day. The format changes from week to week, and anything from the rest of the week can show up. Come ready for anything.
Full Body Grind
Strength and conditioning in one session. A welcoming, greatest-hits format, and a great first class whatever your level.
Six classes a day on weekdays, all before noon · two on Saturday. Full times below.

Your AFL Index
Standardized, coached and measurable. Instead of piecing together your own fitness tests, it's built into your membership, so you can see your progress year over year.
Your training evolves across the year.
The day themes don't change: Monday is always strength, Wednesday is always work capacity. What shifts is the focus and intensity, through six phases a year built around your two Decathlon test weeks.
Spring Deca
Build broad capacity, then taper into the spring test week.
Test weekFreedom Cycle
Muscular endurance and grit, with an optional Murph challenge around Memorial Day.
Summer Cycle
Community and fun-first programming through the months it's easiest to fall off.
Ramp Cycle
Rebuild the fundamentals and climb back toward peak training loads.
Fall Deca
Build broad capacity again, then taper into the fall test week.
Test weekWinter Cycle
Higher-volume, muscle-building work that holds your gains through the holidays.
Six days a week.
Monday–Friday
Saturday
Same coached format, smaller crowd. A great time for a first class.

Before you sign up.
Is $100/month the regular price?
No. $100/month is our founding member rate, and it's locked in for all of 2027. The standard rate is $125/month.
Do I need to already be in shape?
No. Every movement scales to your level, and your coach tells you which version is yours. We coach 13-year-olds and 60-year-olds in the same class.
How long is a class, and how early should I get there?
50 minutes, start to finish. Arrive 5–10 minutes early for your first class.
What if I can only make one or two days a week?
That's what the program is built for. Every class has the same strength and conditioning base under its theme, so however many days you come, you never miss the fundamentals.
Do I have to do the AFL Decathlon?
No. It's included in your membership, not required. Most members find it's the easiest way to see real progress: you get a personal score twice a year and can watch it improve.
Come train for the sport called Life.
Not for a completion grade. For longevity. For true strength. For whatever life brings next.
