Accelerated Fitness Alaska - Fairbanks, Alaska

Lily Trudgen

Torrey’s class is the ONLY reason I’ve been able to stay consistent with working out and having good nutrition for almost 2 years now. He pushes you to give everything your all! The group dynamic of the workouts is very encouraging and motivating. I’ve been able to lose 40+ lbs going to his gym. 100% recommend

On November 6th 2023 I ran into a good friend in the Mt McKinley parking lot. She was on her way to Torreys class at 12:15 and encouraged me to come by. At the time ( 2 short months ago) I was overweight, addicted to sugar, ashamed of my body, and deeply depressed. Long story short, I laced up my shoes and joined accelerated fitness. Since moving to Alaska 7 years ago my weight/ mood have suffered dramatically compared to living and growing up in Cali.
I’ve lost 24 pounds in 2 months.
I show up 5 days a week and put in the work. With Torreys assistance, guidance, carefully thought out workouts, and encouragement at every class to keep pushing forward, I have experienced the most incredible results. There are muscles on my body that I didn’t know I had! Lol
My weight loss is a bonus compared to what these classes have done for my mental health. My mental health has seen a shift, and a beam of light that it has never seen before. I have hope, I have a strong, solid, ready to take life by the horns, and get it done attitude that I have not had in a LONG TIME. My new found confidence is allowing me to live my most healthy and happy life. If this is how it feels for 2 months, I can’t imagine what will happen if I keep going.
With flexible class options throughout your day in Fairbanks, you’re out of excuses to stay out of shape. Take your life back!! Meet the best coach in this town; and quit making excuses!! Your brain is the only thing preventing you from the results you desire. Want your body to feel solid? Show up. Want your head to quit spinning with bad thoughts? Show up.

Thanks Torrey. Your commitment to your clients is such a blessing. You’re more effective than an anti depressant, or psychologist. I can attest to that!

Forever a client.

Amazing gym & trainer in Torrey Plunk who is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Made our workout class both engaging and tiring - we were sore for a week! Check them out if you're in Fairbanks, Alaksa!

Torrey is a phenomenal coach. Results are practically guaranteed if you commit to put in the work. The workouts are designed to get results at any fitness level. Regardless of size, you always feel comfortable. There are so many class times daily that you don't have to worry about being crowded. Torrey first shows you what exercises you'll be doing for the day and continues with giving you individual support throughout the class. I've referred several people to the FBBC and will continue to do so!

This gym is awesome! Tons of class times, supportive coaches, and the owner Torrey knows everyone’s names. Super fun group of people at the 0615 class!

I attended Fairbanks Fit Body Boot Camp for over two years. The leadership from Torrey is top notch and the community was really strong. I actually enjoyed getting up to go work out at 5:45 every morning. The circuit style is challenging but doesn't make you feel like you need to pass out. I have since moved out of state and have yet to find anything that even compares to the level of work out and positive atmosphere I found at Fairbanks FBBC.

I haven’t worked out in a few years and I just started the boot camp last week. The others who are there working out and Torrey are all so encouraging and helpful. The class goes by quick and I have fun. I’m also thankful Torrey is ok with me bringing my daughter so I can set an example for her on how to be healthy.

My name is Natalie Park, and I am a traveling physical therapist. I came to FBBC because I was struggling to get back on track with my fitness after COVID gave me an excuse to stop going to the gym for a year. I did a free trial for a couple days and fell in love with my experience. Torrey gave a quick breakdown of the exercises prior to the class where he demonstrated perfect form and depending on who is in the class will make sure to provide modifications that make the workout accessible and safe no matter where you are at in your fitness journey. If people were making scary mistakes, he noticed and corrected things the way I would in my own practice. But at the same time, he was not overbearing. He could tell that what I needed was to be pushed and he would try to bring me a more appropriate weight to work with because I was keeping it very light at first but when I resisted because I did not feel ready he was still encouraging and complimented the things I was doing well. And for some classes, he is more hands off and lets you do your thing as long as you don't look like you are going to injure yourself. Watching him work with others in the class, I saw him really meeting people where they were at and tailoring the workout appropriately. And as I kept coming, I really liked the other instructors as well. The schedule is also really accessible with enough class times to give me no excuses to skip.
As I kept coming, I also fell in love with the community. If I didn't know what we were doing, other people in the class were glad to help out. Sometimes, we workout complaining together, and sometimes we push each other. There is also a genuine sense of caring about the whole person in this gym. We have conversations about diet recommendations, recovery from injury strategies, fun events that are going on in Fairbanks, our personal struggles, and it's a place where you can make the kind of friends you need.
I have been working out at FBBC for more than 3 months now, and I am making great progress towards my own fitness goals.
I feel confident recommending FBBC to my own patients as they get ready to discharge with me and take the reigns with a regular exercise routine, knowing that they are in good hands.
