“The fitness center is family oriented and a great place for families and individuals to meet. Our clientele runs the gamut from young to old.” |
“The atmosphere is mostly corporate types on their lunch breaks. We pride ourselves on being personable and getting to know all of our members.” |
What practical advice do you give clients who struggle to squeeze exercise in to their busy lives? |
“You can find a time to come in. If you can only get in one time in a week, get in that one time.” |
