ABOUT US
THE WORLD’S FIRST MENTAL HEALTH GYM
A physical space integrated with a culture of compassion and transparency to transform body and mind
The hustle life and “hard work” mindset have left many emotionally and mentally bankrupt. We prize accomplishment or image while our internal well-being suffers. We forget that our mental well-being plays into so much more, but when people head to the gym, many are after that elusive unicorn—to feel mentally better about themselves by looking better.
If the mind is weak, it won’t matter how strong our body is because we’ll continue to lack contentment and fulfillment in life. A body transformation may solve some problems, but not the deep-rooted seeds of depression and anxiety or every day battles like stress.
That’s why we believe people are most impacted when they’re engaged not just physically, but mentally as well. Fitness is our instrument, but community and compassion bring about the solidarity we need in a world reeling from the social impact of a global pandemic.
Your mind is the battlefield. Now reclaim YourLife.
OUR MISSION
We’ve built a community of men and women dedicated to utilizing the tools and resources we offer for physical and psychological wellness.
Our goal is to provide our members with the support, techniques, and expertise to become physically fit and mentally resilient. We exist to provide an environment of personal growth, and help people engage their personal life, world, and understand a deeper connection with themselves.
OUR STORY
THE BIRTH OF YOURLIFE
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Jake Luhrs watched the social impact create a large-scale crisis many didn’t know how to weather. People struggled to make ends meet amid an economic shutdown that fueled further social problems. He saw a divided country in pain, but talking about it helped no one. Action was needed.
Having seen much of America as the lead vocalist of twice Grammy nominated metal band, August Burns Red, Jake was used to hearing stories of poor mental health due to loneliness, isolation, and anxiety. He became acutely aware that mental health dictates how we see ourselves and the world, in addition to determining our actions when confronted with life’s challenges. This led him to found the mental health organization, HeartSupport.
Recognizing that one of the tactics he personally used for his own self-care and mental well-being was exercise, Jake hatched a plan to launch a gym to impact his local community. But he wanted to step outside the box and create a gym where his clients would feel loved, accepted, and empowered. Utilizing his expertise from HeartSupport, Jake formulated his gym’s mission to emulate positivity, unity, and transformation.
To launch the gym, Jake brought on Joel Chandler, a trainer of 10 years who applies his background in cultural anthropology to coach individuals. Joel uses his methodology to help clients realize that the world they build begins in their minds and only becomes reality through physical action.
Together, Jake and Joel meticulously built the YourLife experience, philosophy, and “Studio XL” facility with a simple core principle—it's about people.
YourLife gym is about you.
Our goal is to have you become grounded in the understanding that you have more to give if your body and mind are engaged together instead of in pieces.
