(ST.PETERSBURG, FL) June 28, 2007-- Lifestyle Family
Fitness announced today plans to relocate the Palm Harbor
Fitness center presently at 34884 US Highway 19 North. The new facility will be located approximately 1.5 miles south of the current club at the southwest corner of US 19 North and Nebraska Avenue next to the Office Depot.
“The goal at Lifestyle Family
Fitness is to inspire the Tampa Bay community to lead a healthy lifestyle through exercise in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Our current Palm Harbor club is one of the smaller in the Lifestyle Family
Fitness chain.” said Geoff Dyer, Lifestyle Family
Fitness CEO. “By relocating the club, we will increase it’s size significantly and be able to provide the community with even more superior tools to achieve all their exercise goals in a larger and more comfortable workout space. Our members join on a month to month basis with no long term contracts, so it is our responsibility to continuously strive to meet their needs.”
“Being able to showcase your newest club to your neighbors and friends is very exciting,” said Chris Salemi, Senior Vice President of Real Estate and a Palm Harbor resident.
Once completed, the relocated facility will be over 33,000 square feet and feature amenities including the latest strength and
cardiovascular training equipment, group
Fitness programs by Les Mills International that include BODYPUMP
®, BODYSTEP
®, BODYFLOW
®, BODYCOMBAT
®, BODYATTACK
®, BODYJAM
® and RPM
®, certified Personal Trainers, indoor cycling, tanning booths and an exclusive Kids’ Club area. In addition, the club will feature a private personal training area with advanced kinesis technology.
The private personal training area will be available for clients and platinum members only. This exclusive area provides state of the art training modalities and better concentration for a more streamlined workout. Trainers can work with clients without interruption, thus creating a more intense workout in a shorter period of time. In addition, this training area features a kinesis wall, the most progressive technology and equipment available.
“Kinesis is a whole new philosophy about exercise and movement,” said Kevin Laferriere, Senior Vice President of Sales and
Fitness Services for Lifestyle Family
Fitness. “Most exercise equipment utilizes isolated movements, which limits the user’s results. With advances in understanding how the body works, kinesis equipment was founded to complement the body’s natural motion and exercise patterns.”
