Fit2Max, LLC Expands To Fitness Center Management

Fit2Max, LLC unveiled their plans for expansion today for their next new division. After having success with their in home personal training division, Team Fitness America, they are launching the start of the FCM program. With Fitness Center Management (FCM), Fit2max will be placing qualified, certified, and background checked personal trainers into health clubs and small to midsized gyms that lack proper personnel or the means to drive more revenue to their business.

With just under 600 certified, background checked fitness professionals nationwide, Fit2Max has the capacity to grow a fitness studio, health club or small gym’s staff. From their extensive experience in the fitness industry, they plan to handle all of the hiring, managing and training of the fitness professionals. In addition to providing the business with certified professionals, Fit2Max will also place one of their Area Developers that will be dedicated to securing new clientele and assisting in the revenue growth of the business.

After watching so many small health clubs in the area struggle to keep dedicated staff and procure new clients, Fit2Max owner and founder, Margaret Pajak, decided to expand the company to an area of the fitness industry that needs help to make a difference.

“With our years of familiarity in the fitness industry, we are reaching out to owners of small fitness centers that are stressed to keep up with the larger gyms due to the lack of additional advertising dollars and sales experience,” said Pajak.

Fit2Max has appointed a long time industry professional, Dave Giordano, as head of FCM due to his successful leadership with growing and managing Team Fitness America’s new Area Developer program.

The Area Developer placed within the club will serve as a direct representative of Team Fitness America as well as the club that is under FCM.

“This is essentially providing the health club with a personal training sales force on top of their developed personal training department,” said Pajak.

“We want to educate the public on health and fitness and keep it affordable, safe and fun for the consumer as well as turning a profit for the small business owner that shares the same vision but lacks the know-how,” said Pajak.

Team Fitness America has an extensive client testimonial base, which grows on their website on a weekly basis, and covers everything from before and after pictures of clients to voice recorded testimonials and videos of personal trainers nationwide training theirs clients. They plan to assist club owners with developing their testimonial and reviews section from existing and new members. Future and potential clients like to see results form your club and fitness staff.

“This is a win-win plan of action, the more we increase a combined health clubs personal training gross, they will see higher membership retention as the club appears to be more active and action packed from the busy staff of qualified personal trainers,” said Giordano, head of FCM.

Team Fitness America Top 10 Reasons To Hire A Personal Trainer

For many of us, our good intentions of joining a gym and getting ourselves into shape always appear to fall just short of completion. We may buy a gym membership and go a few times a week for the first month but then life always seems to get in our way. If Bobby has soccer, then our aerobics class time is gone. Maybe work extended hours this month and we are just too tired to drive to the gym, change, and workout after a long day. So we get on the internet and buy the latest DVD and swear that we will do the latest kickbox routine after the kids are put to bed, but then it never happens. There are picnics to plan and birthday cakes to bake. Our personal fitness goals are always sent to the back of our closet like last years shoes.

Hiring a personal trainer that will come to you will solve many of these issues. Besides saving gas and time driving to the gym, you get a personal trainer that comes right to your doorstep. You can go right from feeding the baby or from a long day of work to working out. But why do you need a trainer? Why can’t you workout on your own? Here are the Team Fitness America top 10 reasons why having a personal trainer can make the difference in getting your fitness goals reached.

Are you trying to get your family more involved into fitness?

Your health and fitness goals are important, but your family’s level of fitness should be just as important. If they are not as motivated as you are then invite them to workout with you, kind of like a Fitness Buddy. When your personal trainer knocks on your door, have them prepared for a motivating hour of their life. In most cases, once somebody who was not initially interested in a fitness program, but gets introduced to one, tends to be 100 percent more interested in continuing afterwards.

Are you planning a wedding or have a reunion coming up?

Most of us want to look our best for our wedding and we know that we have a short period to get in the best shape possible for that dress. You will be seeing people that you have not seen in a long time at both a reunion and a wedding. You want them to comment on how beautiful you are and ask, “How do you stay in such great shape?” A certified personal trainer will give you the guidance that you need in order to put a rush order on the body of your dreams. Remember, photos last a lifetime.

Did you just have a baby?

A baby will change your body drastically and new mothers tend to feel increased fatigue, which will make you have no desire to workout. From weight gain to needing to tone your midsection, a personal trainer that specializes in pre and post natal fitness training or yoga can help increase your metabolism so that you can reach pre-pregnancy weight even quicker. Simply buying a DVD will not get you the results you want.

Are you embarrassed to go to the gym or don’t know how to use the equipment?

We find ourselves intimidated by the many different choices of equipment that a gym has to offer and especially how it all works. Not to mention all the people staring at a new person that may appear to be lost. If you do decide to go to the gym, then hiring a personal trainer to show you how to use the equipment significantly increases your level of fitness results. When it comes down to it, a basic weight loss program can be developed without ever needing to the use the equipment found in a gym. An in home personal trainer can show you how to use stability balls, resistance bands, and pieces of portable equipment without having the feeling of embarrassment throughout your learning process. Your form will be spectacular and you will see great results. A personal trainer can design a full program for you to use at any time and any place. No more reading the instructions on the equipment or figuring out how to work them.

Are you overweight and need a customized workout plan?

Added weight means extra pounds unnecessarily pushing on your joints and creating other health problems such as increased blood pressure, cholesterol, and risk of heart disease. You need a qualified, certified personal trainer to take your blood pressure, measure your body fat and make sure that you are safe while working out. Being a warrior and trying it on your own will not get you the fast results that you are looking for.

Did you have Bariatric (lap band) surgery and the weight is pouring off?

Unfortunately, the muscles and skin are not toning themselves and you risk having that wrinkly skin affect that many people who attain rapid weight loss endure. In some cases, this has also caused a certain level of regret from getting the surgery followed by depression due to the sagging skin look. Start an exercise program with a personal trainer and they can help you tone up after the surgery.

Do you just want to be more healthy?

Wanting to be healthy and actually putting a fitness regime in place can be a lot of work. Everything from yoga to Pilates and weight training to kettle bells, it can be confusing to the average person with the many different paths that are available to take. Where do you start and where to begin can be confusing and stressful, but with a personal trainer, your guide to navigating all things fitness will seem easy and stress free.

Are you looking for a new job?

Getting a job is tough enough but being overweight or out of shape does not help your chances of landing the job. Employers are more likely to hire thin, in shape, and neatly dressed individuals as this shows a high level of self-commitment. In most employer’s eyes, somebody who is physically fit shows that they take care of themselves, they are professional, and they are going to treat their job with the same respect as they do their self-image. A personal trainer that can help you slim down and trim up will increase your odds of landing that job.

Did you just quit smoking?

Whether you just quit smoking or are attempting to quit smoking, you know that weight gain is inevitable. You need someone there to give you support as you go through the cravings and combat the weight gain. Once you get started, it might be tuff at first, but as your fitness program progresses you will find that you are breathing better and motivated not to smoke any longer. You will also find that guilt factor kick in. If you have a craving to pick up a cigarette, you will always have to remember that if you smoke that cigarette you are taking steps backwards instead of moving forward. Not only are you letting yourself down, but also the personal trainer who is working hard to help you reach your fitness goals.

Do you only workout when it is convenient?

Some of us find excuse after excuse of why we cannot workout today. We can only find time when it is convenient for us, but that convenient time never seems to come. Having a personal trainer come to your home, on your time, is more than convenient. It’s hard not to work out when somebody is knocking on your door with equipment in tow and is ready to get you motivated. It is a luxury that a lot of the movie stars and wealthy have had for years. Imagine having a bit of that luxury that they do and on your time and your schedule.

Having a personal trainer work with you on a consistent basis can make all the difference when you are trying to achieve your goals. For more information about acquiring a certified, background checked personal trainer, please visit www.teamfitnessamerica.com.
