NEWLIFE FITNESS
Connecting fitness and faith. An avenue for you to experience God and grow your faith.
The love of God heals the whole person.
We are a Wesleyan church. From the beginning, Wesleyans have believed that God’s love does not stop at the soul. It reaches the whole person: spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
We believe the love of God is what heals us. Growing in that love includes how we move, eat, rest and care for the bodies He gave us.
NEWLIFE Fitness is not about appearance or performance. It is one more way to love God and love people with everything we have.
“The power of exercise, both to preserve and restore health, is greater than can well be conceived.” — John Wesley, Primitive Physic (1747)
