Welcome to Agoge Fitness Systems. AFS is the brainchild of Dave Hall. It is the latest extension of Dave Hall, Personal Training and Massage Therapy and is an effort to better address the needs of people looking to improve their lives, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Agoge Fitness Systems takes its name from ancient Greece. In the city-state of Sparta, young boys at the age of seven entered into a "school" called the Agoge. Separated from their mothers, sisters and grandmothers these boys entered a world of men. There they were taught everything they would need to know to become soldiers and eventually citizens of Sparta. The lessons were hard, often brutal, but what emerged fourteen years later was a man ready to take the mantle of citizenship and all of its responsibilities. I took the name Agoge because I wanted to bring some of that spirit back to our lives. As modern Americans our lives have become too soft and many of us lack the knowledge, confidence and spirit that comes from a hard earned accomplishment. By challenging ourselves physically we challenge ourselves emotionally and spiritually as well. The growth that comes from meeting these challenges makes us better people. As better people we lead better lives. Agoge Fitness Systems aims to meet the needs of men and woman, adolescents and adults. We train the body as a whole with an emphasis on strength and athleticism. We offer private and semi private sessions at affordable rates. Everyone has potential...What's yours?
