Lifestyle Family Fitness first opened its doors in
Lakeland, Florida in 1982. Twenty-five years later, the
small
fitness center located on Lemon Street has
become one of the top 20 fastest growing fitness
companies in the world. With 46 locations throughout
Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, serving 180,000
members, the company is committed to providing
members with easy access to
fitness facilities that are
located close to home and work for all.
Today,
Lifestyle Family Fitness centers average
32,000 square feet and feature the latest in
strength and cardio training equipment, world class
group
fitness classes from Les Mills International,
cycling studios, certified personal trainers, tanning
booths and an exclusive
Kids’ Club area.
Aside from providing
fitness enthusiasts with
a state-of-the-art facility,
the company prides
itself on offering “no
long-term contracts,”
with only month-by-month
memberships. In
addition, a Lifestyle
Family Fitness
membership comes with a four-week money back
comfort guarantee and three free introductory
personal training sessions.
As
Lifestyle Family Fitness celebrates its 25th year,
the company plans on expanding further to bring its
exceptional facilities and progressive ideas to even
more residents of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio
and other markets throughout the United States.
In fact since 2005, the company has grown
significantly outside of Florida. In late 2005,
Lifestyle Family Fitness entered the Columbus,
Ohio market acquiring eight California Fitness Club
locations. Today,
Lifestyle Family Fitness has nine
locations in Ohio, including the New Market Way
facility, the largest club currently in the chain. In
addition to the amenities
found at all Lifestyle
Family Fitness clubs, this
45,000 square foot club
features an indoor pool,
basketball and
racquetball courts.
In 2006, the company
entered Raleigh and
Charlotte, North
Carolina with six
locations. Over the coming months, Lifestyle Family
Fitness will celebrate the grand openings of the
new North Carolina clubs, as well as locations in
Orlando and Winter Garden.
Further plans have
Lifestyle Family Fitness expanding
into other cities throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West
and Florida to bring its mission to fulfill members
needs and build lasting relationships through a fun
and friendly experience, to thousands more people
across the United States.
