10 years ago on July 1st, The Fitness Edge opened its doors with 4800 square feet, 5 employees, 200 great members and a big dream of becoming the best health and fitness club in the area. 10 years later, in an industry where health clubs come and go, we have not only survived, we have grown. The Fitness Edge now has two locations, 10,000 square feet, 25 employees, 800 great members and is successfully achieving their dream.

Unlike the trend of no-frill-little-personal-attention health clubs, we have remained faithful to our mission of providing premium personal services. The Fitness Edge is a state of the art health club with various fitness classes and strength and cardio training equipment to suit all fitness levels. The club has several certified and experienced Personal Trainers, Massage Therapy, Martial Arts, Yoga, Spin, Zumba, Step, Sculpting, Boot Camp, Pilates Reformers, Programs for kids and much more.

Another cause for celebration is the transfer of ownership from Micky and Wendy Tata and George Serrano to Tom Allen. Purchasing both the business and the building, Tom looks to continue the legacy of providing the top health and fitness club for the Lakes Region. Tom is no stranger to Meredith, as he graduated from Inter-lakes High School. Tom went on to graduate from Northeastern University with a BS in Business Administration and a Masters in Sport Leadership. Prior to joining The Fitness Edge team in 2009 as the General Manager, Tom worked as Assistant Track Coach at the University of Florida, National and Olympic Team Manager for The United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation and the Program Director at the Utah Olympic Park leading up to the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Assisting Tom is Miki Pike. Miki was hired as the General Manager of The Fitness Edge this spring and will be overseeing the day to day operations of the club. Miki has over 20 years experience managing health clubs and is excited to be a part of the Fitness Edge family.

Despite economic downturns and increased competition, we have remained strong due to our loyal members, our dedicated staff and the commitment of our past owners. As we celebrate our past we eagerly look forward to an even better future with the continued support of our valued members.

There are several members that have been here since the doors opened in 2001. They will be recognized and appreciated for their continued dedication and loyalty to The Fitness Edge throughout the month of July.

To celebrate the 10th year anniversary of The Fitness Edge, local residents are invited to join the Club without paying an enrollment fee from now until Labor Day.

Thank you,

The Fitness Edge Family
