We’re proud to have Eli as part of the ATG family and even more proud of the hard work, dedication, and discipline he continues to demonstrate both inside and outside the gym.

Please join us in congratulating Firefighter Blanchard on this incredible accomplishment. Wishing you a long, successful, and safe career of service to your community!

Well done, Eli!

Big Happy Birthday to Wendy!!
without you this wonderful space for people to enjoy and come together for workouts and friendship would not exist.

We all Love you.

Happy 80th Birthday, Harry 🎉

80 years young and still showing us all how it’s done.

We’ve had the honor of working with Harry for the past 9 years, and one thing has never changed… the way he shows up. Steady. Consistent. And somehow always giving 110%.

He doesn’t just come to the gym, he brings stories, energy, humor, and a quiet kind of strength that sets the tone for everyone around him. The kind of person who reminds you that it’s not about age, it’s about attitude… and showing up for yourself again and again.

Cheers to you, Harry, thank you for being such an important part of our community. We’re lucky to know you and even luckier to train alongside you 💛

Happy Birthday to our favorite coach, dancer, fact-finder of completely useless (but somehow amazing) information, car enthusiast, and all-around good guy… BRIAN 🎉

If you see him today, make sure you wish him all the best—and maybe ask him for a random fact while you’re at it.

We love you, Brian! 💛

What are you doing today to move your body, and have fun while you do it?
Not just for summer.
Not just for aesthetics.
But for your future.
Strength training isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about building a body that supports you for all your years ahead. When you strength train, you’re improving your mental health , supporting bone density, protecting mobility, and investing in the ability to live the life you love.
What does this look like in real life?
Carrying heavy groceries.
Shoveling snow.
Lifting luggage into an overhead bin.
Picking up your kids (or grandkids).
Traveling with confidence.
Getting up and down off the floor with ease.
We move for our health, yes.
But why not have fun while you do it?
Our group classes meet you where you are. You’ll see different stages of the workout, different levels of strength, different journeys and all of it counts.
Ready to start prioritizing your health in a way that feels empowering?
Call 860-478-0283 to set up a conversation about how you can begin. We’d love to welcome you in!

No evening classes at Against the Grain tonight ❄️

We’re still digging out from all this snow and want everyone safe and off the roads.

All classes and activities will resume tomorrow morning, we can’t wait to move with you then!

Stay warm, stay cozy, and we’ll see you soon!

02/22/2026

Due to the winter weather and slippery road conditions, there will be no 6:00 AM class tomorrow. Enjoy the snow, stay safe!

01/26/2026

We will see you tomorrow. Clean up is still underway over here, tomorrow is back to regular schedule.

01/25/2026

Based on the snow there will be no 6am class tomorrow morning. We will be accessing the situation and may still have 5:30 pm if travel is safe. If you have individual sessions Brian will be in touch.
