We see life as our sport, which means that when we can live pain-free or overcome injury, the more prepared we can be for activity, the more fun we can have, the younger we can feel, and the more adventurous we can be. When our body doesn’t limit us, we can experience life without limits.

  • INBODY BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

    The InBody 570 scale is the most advanced product on the market, trusted by top hospitals, gyms and professional sports teams because of its precision and ease of use. The InBody Test is fast, accurate and non-invasive, and looks beyond the scale to show you what you’re made of.

  • Personal Training

    If group training isn’t your thing or you’ve recently been discharged from PT, we’ll help you get there. We offer one-on-one personal training on a case-by-case basis.

  • INFRARED SAUNA

    Heat alone aids recovery, provides temporary pain relief, and decreases inflammation. In an infrared sauna, the far and mid infrared light waves provide an even deeper therapeutic experience than the heat in a traditional sauna that only heats the air. Infrared light waves penetrate the body to heat from within, penetrating the joints, muscles and tissues, and increasing circulation and blood flow. For athletes of all levels, research shows infrared saunas are useful in enhancing muscle recovery and performance.

  • COLD PLUNGE ICE TUB

    Sports medicine has been using ice tubs for decades to reduce inflammation and promote recovery, energy, balance, performance, immune support, momentum, mood, and more to help athletes of all types come back better.

  • MovementX Physical Therapy

    Onsite or at your home care. MovementX physical therapists are highly specialized and carefully chosen experts who are deeply passionate about helping you achieve your movement goals.

"It's an incredible honor to have Ambitious Athletics included in Yelp and Entrepreneur's first-ever list of top mom-and-pop shops in the U.S. in the health and fitness category," said Carmen Sturniolo, Owner, Ambitious Athletics. "This recognition comes directly from our members who we serve and have served for years, making it even more special. I'm grateful that members took the time to publish a review and share their experiences to shine a light on our business and encourage someone else to feel less intimidated about taking a step forward in their health and fitness journey. That speaks volumes about our culture and mission; I couldn't feel more thankful."

How it started

 

After college, when we entered the “real world” we were faced with finding a fitness program that worked for our goals.

We were frustrated by the lack of options available; CrossFit felt over the top, group fitness classes lacked personal attention, and personal training was too expensive and boring.

That’s when we started piecing together workouts using old training programs from our coaches, friends, magazines, youtube, and blogs to maintain what we had.

That’s when it clicked, and we took it upon ourselves to learn the best fitness and nutrition methods and created a world-class, one-of-a-kind group training program to help others move, look, and feel like an athlete at every age.

In some ways we’re lucky because it gave us the opportunity to reduce the noise in our industry and create a space for others just like us.
