Our Concept

Keeping You Active

Why Total Fitness Connection?

Total Fitness Connection has served Bowling Green since 2001. We were founded by two physical therapists who met while studying at that University of Kentucky and who believed healthcare and fitness should not be separate businesses. We opened in Bowling Green in 2001 and we are still owned and operated by Doctors of Physical Therapy today. We are not a franchise and we are not owned by a chain. In December of 2021, the tornado that struck Bowling Green destroyed our facility. Only the pool was left standing. We rebuilt. On January15, 2025 twenty four years to the day after we first opened we cut the ribbon on a new building, and members who had been with us at our very first ribbon cutting in 2001 came back to stand with us. Today we operate two Bowling Green locations offering physical therapy, a heated 25-meter four lane indoor pool, aquatic therapy, an indoor athletics center, childcare from three months of age, a cold plunge, a steam room and saunas- with free physical therapy screenings included in every membership.

As the cost of health insurance continues to increase, many people are realizing that prevention of illness through regular exercise and improved eating habits is the best way to stay healthy and reduce the risk of costly health problems in the future. As our slogan states there is a natural cross-over between health care, physical therapy, and fitness. Total Fitness Connection has pioneered this breakthrough concept, combining the expertise of Physical Therapy into the dynamic world of fitness. This combination has created the perfect environment for you to set and meet goals centered around improving not only your overall health, but also your appearance, performance, endurance, energy levels; the list goes on and on.

Free Health Screenings

Available to all members are Free Health Screenings. Our licensed physical therapist will evaluate your problem and recommend the appropriate treatment. Health screens can provide helpful insight as to the source of your pain or problem, and provide you with a self-directed solution. All free screenings can be scheduled in the Physical Therapy department as often as necessary. If for some reason you need in-depth physical therapy treatment your insurance can even cover these visits. Don’t work out with pain or stop because of it!
