The Golden Life Project (GLP) is more than just a gym. It’s a community-driven wellness center offering a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional fitness. Located in Lafayette, GLP is committed to helping individuals live their best life—or, as they call it, their golden life—by addressing all aspects of health and well-being.

A Unique Wellness Experience

GLP’s offerings extend far beyond strength training. It combines coached workouts, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle coaching to empower members inside and outside the gym. The goal is to provide individuals with the tools they need to build physical strength and manage important lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and overall wellness.

Coaching That Makes a Difference

One of GLP’s hallmarks is its small group coaching sessions, with a maximum of six members per class. This intimate setting allows for personalized instruction, where coaches set individual goals for each member based on their fitness level. Whether they’re helping people learn proper strength movements or create healthy eating habits, the coaches offer a hands-on approach that ensures each member feels supported.

Welcoming All Fitness Levels

GLP prides itself on being a welcoming environment for everyone. With members age 30 to 70, the community includes beginners and intermediate fitness enthusiasts. Coaches can assist members regardless of their starting point, offering one-on-one and group coaching options to accommodate everyone’s needs.

Comprehensive Nutrition & Wellness Coaching

Beyond fitness, GLP offers nutrition coaching and regular workshops that cover a wide array of health topics. Recent workshops have included gut health, electrolyte balance, and lifestyle management. These programs are designed to help members make sustainable changes that benefit their overall well-being.

Building a Stronger Community

Community is at the heart of GLP. During the challenges of the COVID pandemic, the importance of connection became clear. What began as outdoor park workouts soon evolved into a thriving wellness community. Today, members focus on personal fitness goals and support each other in achieving them, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie.

Celebrating with the Annual Go for Gold Event

GLP is hosting the Go for Gold fitness competition and party on October 19 to celebrate its second anniversary. The event is open to members and non-members, and it will feature local businesses, a vendor market, and community activities. Whether they’re participating in the competition or simply enjoying the festivities, attendees will experience firsthand the community spirit that GLP has cultivated.

For those interested in experiencing GLP firsthand, the Taste of the Golden Life trial membership offers a week of access to coaching sessions, workshops, and community events. GLP is dedicated to helping everyone live their best, most fulfilling life—inside and outside of the gym.
