Gorham Fitness Studio
The Gorham Fitness Studio is a Green Family Fitness Facility offering Group Exercise Classes and Personal Training to Children and adults of all ages. The Gorham Fitness Studio serves families with a facility to grow, strengthen, and succeed. We provide all members of the family with the latest in fitness, nutrition, and health information, techniques, and more.
We offer a very low priced Family Membership Rate that covers the entire family (Parents and all children) for unlimited classes and use of our cardio/weight room during all business hours (5am-9pm most days). We opened at our new location in September of this year and we have been growing consistently, reaching families and helping them to become, healthier and stronger together. (you can find more information on us at www.gorhamfitnessstudio.com, we were featured in Raising Maine Magazine in October of this year).
Problem to be solved:
We are trying to help families and create the programs and classes that they want and need. Our most popular classes are those that have an adult class and child class running simultaneously. The parents love that the children are not just in a daycare, but learning and moving, while they get their own sweat producing workout. The whole family can come in and out in 50mins and go home together and have dinner. What a concept. So many Families do not know that we exsist. We would love to reach the market and let people know that we are here and we are going to help improve their families health.
Target Market:
Our Target Market is Families in the Greater Portland Area. We attract families with school age children and serve to their health and fitness needs. Mom's and Dad's who are so busy, they feel like working out is out of the question. We are the solution.
Why buy from us.
Our members buy from us because we truly care about their needs and cater to them. We schedule classes and events around school hours, dinner times, and encourage families to take time for their own health as well as spend some quality time together. Not only do we care about our members, but we also care about our environment. We are a Green Fitness Facility and we were featured as the Green Business of the day on this website this week.
Competition:
There is really no other business that offers a membership based group exercise facility that caters to families. And no other that offers adult and children's classes at the same time.
Our competition consists of several major health clubs and personal training studios in the Portland area. There is little to no competition in Gorham. We are also the only "Green" Fitness Facility in Greater Portland which is trendy and earth friendly. Here is a list and short description of the competition.
University of Southern Maine - Most classes are taught by students, and the schedule caters student population.
Bay Club - a full service club
Planet Fitness - offers no classes, low cost membership, nothing for children.
Racket and Fitness Center - Some Classes, higher prices
Defined - a small Personal Training Studio, does not offer large classes or children's classes.
Lifestyle Fitness Center - a full service club
Curves - offers no classes, no personal training, nothing for children.
Snap Fitness - Offers no classes but is a low cost competitor
Cumberland County YMCA -a Full service club
Why we got into business?
We are a husband and wife team along with our two children (ages 5 and 3), who really want to help families become healthier. Being a young family ourselves we saw the need for Mom's and Dad's to be able to workout on a flexible schedule that included childcare. Solution, we began a small studio in Gorham (Literally 500square feet) and built this business off of scratch. We began offering personal training only, and added classes after only a few months of business. As we grew, we realized that people needed something for children to do,and we needed something to do with our own children, so we began offering a Children's Yoga and Movement class at the same time as our adult classes. People loved it. We have grown in one and a half years from less then 500square feet to 3000 square feet on word of mouth advertising, client results, and testimonials alone. Our backgrounds in health and fitness as well as having Personal Training Certification, give us a proffessional edge over other Mega Gyms owned by non fitness background investors, who are looking more at the money then the impact on the world.
We feel that in order to make a real change towards a Healthy Lifestyle we need to include the entire family; Mom, Dad and kids. We need to include every aspect of your life, including what you put into your body, what we leave behind, and what we do. Eat healthy, be earth conscious and exercise daily. We are trying to teach this message to our community and create a place where families can learn, change and grow. Believe in yourself, trust the process, and change forever. This is not a temporary fix, this is a real lifestyle that will help your family grow stronger, healthier, and happier together. Please help us to grow and share this with other families in our community.
Please consider us for this contest and do not hesitate to call or email, we could get some testimonials from families if needed.
Thank You, Stacey and Jesse Coleman
