Fitness and nutrition became a passion for Lisa in 2006.  While carrying a load of laundry up a flight of steps, I had to stop-just could not make it to the top. Realized that something had to change, this was the aha moment!

Through diet and exercise, I was able to celebrate losing over 100 lbs. The exercise, was not easy! I joined a gym, hid in the back row. Noticed that the instructors gave a lot of attention to the front row. Once had an instructor ask, “are you going to be able to make it”, made me sad-but gave me fuel ;-)

September 27, 2011-opened the doors to Full Throttle Fitness Factory! The name comes from Full Throttle, like a tachometer, I like to go 100% into everything that I do in life! Fitness = Lifestyle! Factory, our 1st location was inside the old Dolfin Factory building!

I opened FTFF with the idea of creating a SAFE space, where ALL are WELCOME. Workouts are INCLUSIVE, all levels welcome to ALL classes! Come experience our motto-Peace Love and Fitness

 

 LYNDON SHADE

Lyndon Shade, is a certified Indo-Row® Instructor and has received his Primary Aerobic Instructor Certification from AAAI/ISMA. My reason to join a gym was to lose weight and feel better about my self image, I quickly realized Full Throttle Fitness Factory was more than just a gym, it became my gym family. All the group fitness classes they offer encourage you to have fun, and are super friendly and encourage all fitness levels. I tell you it is a gym where “everyone knows your name”. Rowing is my addiction and I encourage everyone I meet to try rowing, it is low impact, builds your cardio as well as 9 major muscle groups, and the group class allows all fitness levels to work out together in a high energy class that is totally controlled by the individual. I grew up in the Hamburg area and I am a service manger for a local copier/printer company for 30 years and have 2 furry kids and enjoy golfing.
