While working a full time job with lots of overtime in a very sedentary environment for many years, I realized I needed more options to get up, move around and make the attempt to get healthier. So, I started looking around to obtain a gym membership. The purple planet place in Benton Harbor was going out of my way and there were no Anytime Fitness places close to me either so I popped in on this little place I knew about that was directly between my home and job located in Coloma. I couldn’t afford their membership at $50.00 a month and the gym hours didn’t work with my current work schedule so I looked around some more and then thought to myself for a while that maybe it was time to start my own business.

I put one and one together and after a few months, I started with an idea to put the two together. I decided to start my own gym as a business. I started looking at buildings and property to acquire along with equipment needed, loans, business plan, personal training, classes and just an abundance of ideas knowing that sky was the limit. Long story short, I revisited that little place in Coloma again and told a co-worker what I had been thinking about doing. She mentioned me to the owners of the little gym in Coloma and they wanted to meet me. I met with them and we started talking and here we are today!

We do not take the fees out of your bank account automatically on a monthly basis or have start up fees to join or cancellation fees like other places do. We like being the place that fits your needs. For our out of town visitors that come to town for the weekend or are staying for a week or two and want to come in and work out at their convenience, we can hook you up. If you’re more local to Southwest Michigan and want to commit to your health longer, we also offer month to month, 3 months, 6 months and one year prepaid membership plans for your convenience. Our plan incorporates a pre-pay as you go format. We understand that life happens and sometimes it’s difficult to commit long term. We love to meet new folks and see smiling faces. Our place has a good, comfortable, home feeling to it.

We started out with around 50 members but have grown to just over 200 members in the past year. Our goal is to have 1000 plus members. This will allow us to keep expanding and doing all the things we’ve set out to do including a bigger parking lot, lol!

The LOGO: I use to draw in my younger days so I wanted something very personal and dear to me. I sat down and starting drafting and drawing ideas. I soon switched over to using the paint program on the laptop and before I knew it, it just happened. The logo represents to me the person I am on the outside versus the person I want to be. I consider myself to be a larger than life, fluffy person that wears a mask knowing that I want to be that fit, strong person on the inside. If you notice the logo kind of has three images going on, the person on the outside who wants to be the fit person on the inside and a mask like a Lucha libre.

I hope to see you in the future. Just ask for Tim.
