According to research done recent- ly by the Wall Street Journal, the boutique fitness centers have been growing in popularity and have almost doubled in the past 12 months across the nation. TEST started across the street in Martinsville as a boutique fitness center. When we moved into this building in 2007, our mission was to keep the same small boutique feel within a larger health club. Over the years we also added other boutique programs that allow you to experience the quality of small group programs inside a beautifully remodeled 24,000 sq. foot facility. These programs include “Rock N Ryde” which revolutionized the way we experience indoor cycling with bikes that rock back and forth to simulate a more natural outdoor experience, “Metabolic Heart Rate Training” featuring the My Zone HR system, and our Speed Academy which not only coaches athletes how to enhance their speed & agili- ty but also gives them the mental tools to become a better competi- tor. These programs are high ener- gy, and a ton of FUN!!! Whether you are an athlete or not, you will be led by coaches who love this industry and pour their passion into every minute of every session. The larger gym facilities typically include full gym access from 5am – 10pm. In most cases, like ours, they feature other amenities that bou- tique places do not offer. These can include locker rooms, steam rooms, cardio theatre, a Pro Shop and a member services department which includes committed team members helping to make your experience more enjoyable. This gives you the option to pop in when it is conven- ient for you to get in your workout. Most boutique facilities are only open during times when classes are held making it difficult for those who have busy schedules and require some flexibility. A recent poll showed that people consider health to be one of the top three most important things in their life, yet when they look at their bank statements, the invest- ment still doesn’t match that level of importance. That being said there are more people today that are willing to invest in their health than ever before. It’s time to find a group of people that are there for you to deliver the kind of support you need to assess and achieve your goals. TEST truly has “The Best of Both Worlds” with many boutique pro- grams inside of a larger health club facility. You can match your pro- gram based on the support and motivation you need and ultimately have a blast getting there with a community of people striving to achieve their personal best.
