About
We are Ludus Actius
Do you know where the word “Ludus” comes from?
Why Ludus Actius
In Ancient Rome, a Ludus was the place where gladiators trained to build stronger bodies and minds.
While we aren’t in the gladiatorial age anymore, we believe that having a strong mentality, like they did, will help you achieve your goals through the physical and mental battles we face in the modern world.
Ludus Actius is the perfect place if you’re looking for a new home that supports you through the challenges you face every day to improve.
Physical fitness is one of the hardest habits to get started, and also the most difficult to maintain. That is why we developed a method to keep you motivated, so you can not only reach your goals but exceed them.
Confidence and courage are the basis to become the best version of ourselves. Our members range from the average Joe who just wants to lose a few pounds to top athletes looking for their next level. Our programs work for all levels and body types.
Reach your goals and feel like a champion. At Ludus we celebrate that. Reach 150 classes and you are awarded a Rudis, a genuine Roman sword, so you can feel the gladiator you are.
