The Downtown Fitness Club http://downtownfitnessclub.com Gym in Downtown Rochester, NY Wed, 22 May 2013 15:53:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Find out WHY Jon joined the Downtown Fitness Club http://downtownfitnessclub.com/?p=651 http://downtownfitnessclub.com/?p=651#comments Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:32:54 +0000 down2278 http://downtownfitnessclub.com/?p=651 Continue reading →]]> This past Thursday, March 21, Jon made an appointment to visit the Downtown Fitness Club.  He had done some research on comparable clubs that were convenient to his apartment on Lower Monroe Avenue, so he knew what the competition was charging for memberships as well.

After taking a tour of the facilities with me (John H) and Joe T, our newest staff member, Jon thanked us for the time and then said, “I owe it to myself to check out the other gyms, as a recent college graduate looking for that first job, price is important, but I’ll do the legwork and get back to you with my decision.”

Long story short…Jon came back and joined that very afternoon.

When I asked him why he chose the DFC over those $10/mth gyms, here’s what he replied:

Hey John –
 
The determining factor in choosing the Downtown Fitness Club was the sense of a community atmosphere I got from the initial visit. Compared to other gyms in the area, the DFC appeared to have great workout facilities accompanied by knowledgable staff. You cared enough to explain in detail about the various aspects of the facility; going above and beyond answering any questions I had. As a consumer, I felt confident I could obtain any fitness goals I wished to accomplish. Aside from the location, my other major consideration was price. The variety of membership plans offered by the DFC allowed me to choose which plan fit best for me. Other gyms in the area just didn’t have the selection of membership plans the DFC had to offer with strict contracts and fees associated with any plan you chose.
 
Thanks,
Jon

Why not utilize elements of ALL fitness disciplines, in a program created by people who have run marathons, won bodybuilding contests, competed at powerlifting, triathlons, functional style challenges, as well as competed on the playing fields, tracks, courts and pools at every level and more?

If you attend a one-dimensional, franchised or a licensed ‘fitness solution’, you’ll get one-dimensional answers!

If you attend a ‘chain’ health club, you’ll be lucky to get any answers at all!

In the just over 5 months, our DFC athletes have participated in a ropes challenge, tire course, powerlifting and most recently completed a 1000 burpee challenge in 17 days.  They’ve been benchmarked in rowing, running, lifting and swimming, have completed a triathlon and played in the ‘not so Super’ Flag Football Championship!
