In Episode 15, I travel to New York City for a tour of Drive 495 with owner Don Saladino. Don and his brother Joe operate an incredible facility catering to golfers with a great "team approach". They have incredible customer service in a beautiful facility located in the heart of Soho, NY.
For Episode 13, I travel to Berkeley Heights, NJ for a tour of Gabriele Fitness & Performance. Owner Vince Gabriele shows us around his 6,000 sq. ft facility where he works with athletes of all ages, as well as general population folks. Also, TJ Lopez of Major League Strength gives us an update on the progress of Dana Cavalea's new facility in White Plains, NY.
This is an interesting model, and a great way to start a facility, where Joe partnered with a successful physical therapy clinic that wanted to add a strength and conditioning component. We also get an update from TJ Lopez, of Major League Strength, on the build-out of Dana Cavalea's new facility.
Joe Dowdell gives host Anthony Renna a tour of Peak Performance in New York City. Located on the 8th floor in downtown Manhattan, Peak is a very successful facility that has been voted one of the Top Ten Gyms in America by Men's Health for 2 years in a row. Peak clients range from MMA athletes to top fencers to models and moms.
In this episode, I added a video I did for StrengthCoach.com when I first opened my studio almost 2 years ago. I went around the studio an added up different items that one one ever talks about when opening a facility: door mats, refrigerators, shelves, lockers, pictures, etc. As you will see in the video, those things add up!
In Episode 7, I toured Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, CA with owner Alwyn Cosgrove. For Part 2 of that Episode, the brains (and beauty) behind the operation, Rachel Cosgrove, discusses the addition of their Juice Bar.
