This is a twenty four hundred square foot fitness facility
our main focuses is specialty group fitness classes
we have both large and small goup classes
we also do personal training
and we have
a lot of training groups that we do
in the past we've done a 10K training program and also a
a weight management
program which
we did in january we had about forty people in that
so that was really fun
I take people who maybe live sedentary lifestyle or need to lose a
lot of weight
and i introduce them to a whole different way
of living and it really opens her eyes to other things
you know our model is you never know what you can do until you try
I was a really overweight teenager
and when i had my son I weighed about 240 lbs.
so afterwards
I knew I had to get my life back
and I kind of started doing triathlons
so
I just got the bug and I worked for the YMCA at the time and uh...
i was in child care
and i wanted to start doing a triathlon training group
and they trained me to do it
so i ran that
and then just worked my way up into health and fitness
and aquatics
and I've been doing it for about twenty years now
one of my long-time personal training clients
she works at Circle Bank and she suggested that i apply there
i didn't
have enough
capital down
and i was a high-risk loan
so they recommended SAFE-BIDCO they said the main criteria
to work with a SAFE-BIDCO was that
you had been working in the industrial
a long time time and that
deffinately something I had i had the experience about
20 years
within that twenty years i worked for three different organizations
I had a pretty solid business plan that I probably worked on for two years
and you know it changed alot through out those two years
um... so I applied with
SAFE-BIDCO
and Sheila was
just amazing at helping out and she's very
clear to the point
which i really liked working with people like that they tell you
exactly what they need and you get that to them
it's a scary process to go through and i knew
that i was
taking a huge risk i worked for a really big organization in San Francisco it was a
very secure job payed really really really well but i've always had
this dream of opening my own business
and it being a little bit more intimate I've always worked for these really large gyms
with thousands and thousands of members
and i wanted something where i knew every single person's name, I knew
if they had an injuries if they were training for stuff
what their goals were
and that's really what we were able to create here
i believe that if people really want something and they have someone to help guide them
then they can do whatever they want to do
it's just really having that desire to do it and being able to take the advice
from someone else
