FitWorx

FitWorx, the “non-gym” solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss with four locations in Massachusetts, has recently completed renovations of their Pembroke location in the North River Plaza Shopping Center, at 125 Church Street.

FitWorx’ Pembroke club opened in 2013 and was the first of their four locations. Although the size of the space has only been increased by an additional 200 s.f., the layout has been completely redesigned to maximize the space and make it more user friendly for FitCoaches and members.

Updates include a new spa inspired decor and a floor plan that is now similar to their other locations. FitWorx Pembroke now has a soothing, warm color palette, and plenty of room to move about. Tropical plants, natural lighting and carpeting accent the interior. New equipment (six treadmills) has been added.

With eight FitCoaches, the Pembroke club caters to more than 725 members, and expects to grow to more than 800 members by year-end.

“We’re seeing an increasing number of Baby Boomers who are looking to lose weight and are in need of better instruction and programming, but who also want an environment in which they are truly comfortable. FitWorx offers a friendly, inviting and supportive environment. Our members look forward to working out in our upbeat, yet relaxed atmosphere,” said Sara Fuller, DPT, Corporate Outreach Director and General Manager of FitWorx Pembroke.

FitWorx is owned and managed by partners Rick Langella, a 30-year veteran of the fitness industry, and Keith Johnson, personal trainer and professional athlete. Along with Pembroke, they have locations in Easton, West Roxbury and Weymouth, and plan to expand to 20 locations by 2020.

She continued, “Previous to FitWorx, my role was to rehabilitate a patient post surgery or post injury over a prescribed period of time with the goal of returning him or her to functional independence and his/her previous level of activity,” said Fuller. “I am very passionate about preventative work and helping individuals over the long-term. I believe that independence is optimal function, and FitWorx is where I can help individuals the most.”

As part of Fuller’s corporate outreach, she strives to connect with local physicians and healthcare professionals in creating greater awareness among their patients of FitWorx’ proven approaches to weight loss and fitness.
