Gretchen Archambault

Gretchen is a certified group trainer at Arch Fitness and has been part of this amazing  community since shortly after inception. She is also a full-time Realtor —but no matter which  hat she is wearing, her passion for helping others reach their goals is what drives her.  

Gretchen resides locally with her husband and  two children, and when she is not working with  clients or showing homes, you’ll find her traveling, enjoying great food, or spending time  with  family and fur babies—Boxer, Laila, and three Maine Coon cats: Talullah,  Svetlanna, and Alexi.  

Gretchen has  always loved being active. She played competitive sports through college and continued at  the national level afterward.  

What makes Arch Fitness special? It’s more than just a gym—it’s a supportive, welcoming  community for all fitness levels. There’s a strong emphasis on hard work, and fun. Our  workouts are dynamic and ever-changing, designed to keep you engaged and challenged  without feeling repetitive. Most importantly, you’ll see real results while being part of  something that feels like family.

 A native of Boston, MA, Taliah has been active in dance and movement since the age of 5.
