THIS SECTION OF MY WEBSITE IS DEDICATED TO MEMORIES (PICTURES) OF HOW THE FITNESS FACTORY BEGAN AND THE MANY WONDERFUL CLIENTS, FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND KIDS INVOLVED IN MAKING THE FITNESS FACTORY A UNIQUE HEALTH AND WELLNESS FACILITY.
IN 2003, THE FITNESS FACTORY WAS JUST A BUILDING WITH TWO EMPTY FLOORS AND NO EQUIPMENT. I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME ON THE PHONE TRYING TO CONVINCE BANKS TO GIVE ME A BUSINESS LOAN.
 
WHILE THE BANK WAS TRYING TO DECIDE IF I WAS TOO MUCH OF A LIABILITY, I DECIDED TO SPEND THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY I HAD ON 15 BRAND-NEW BODY CYCLING BIKES.
OFFICIALLY, THE FITNESS FACTORY STARTED AS A SPINNING AND PILATES CENTER. I COULDN’T COMPLAIN: AT LEAST I HAD A JOB THAT GENERATED ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE RENT.
 
IN BETWEEN CLASSES, I WAS CONSTANTLY ON THE PHONE TRYING TO FIND A BANK WILLING
TO LOAN ME MONEY TO BUY GYM EQUIPMENT. DAY AFTER DAY, I CALLED BANKS. EVENTUALLY, I RECEIVED GREAT NEWS (AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE SMILE ON MY FACE).
 
FAST-FORWARD TWO MONTHS AND IT FELT A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS AROUND HERE.
FLOORS COVERED, WALLS PAINTED ...
 
EQUIPMENT DELIVERED........THANK GOD!!!
 
NOW IT WAS TIME TO THROW A PARTY.....SO I DECIDED TO INVITE A FEW FRIENDS!
 
 
O.K. BACK TO WORK!! |
