For many adults over 40, traditional gyms can feel overwhelming, impersonal, or just out of touch with their needs. That’s exactly what Thrive Training Irvine set out to change.
Founded by coach and corrective exercise specialist Oliver Nam, Thrive is more than a place to work out. It’s a supportive space where people can rebuild their bodies, confidence, and habits—without pressure or comparison.
A Different Kind of Fitness Studio
At Thrive, the focus isn’t on how heavy you lift or how fast you go. It’s about helping you move better, feel better, and live better. Every session is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting out or working through past injuries.
What sets the gym apart is its personal touch. Every client is seen, coached, and supported in a way that honors their journey.
Real Progress, Real People
You won’t find “before and after” posters on the walls here. What you will find is a community of real people making real progress.
Take one Thrive member, for example, who walked in months after a major health setback. He started slowly, regaining mobility step by step. Now, he trains regularly, stronger and more confident than ever. These aren’t just success stories—they’re everyday stories at Thrive.
Designed for Adults 40+
The studio is intentionally built for adults over 40 who want to move well, stay strong, and feel in control of their bodies again. Many clients come in after trying other gyms and feeling lost or discouraged. Thrive offers them structure, encouragement, and sustainable routines that stick.
It’s not about keeping up—it’s about showing up.
