Our Story

Finally, comfortable in my own skin!

The story behind A Bout Time Fitness

Donna French

Owner & Head Coach

Always the athlete, well until I graduated from college and got my 'real' job...then chasing that professional corporate life was my focus. As I progressed in my corporate life, my health and fitness took a back seat. I would wake up and wonder if this was really how you felt as you got a little older...aches, pains, tired all the time. Then through a swift kick in the butt I had a chance to change my direction. So at 30-40lbs overweight, mid-40s and totally uncomfortable with my appearance, I decided it was time to learn to be comfortable in my own skin. I became a franchise owner of kickboxing studios and started my own fitness journey. I know the struggles that many of our members go through, because I was them. And it is my mission to make sure that they overcome them just like I did!
