Youfit Health Clubs Opening Its 60th Club Nationwide

Youfit Health Clubs Opening Its 60th Club Nationwide South Florida-based Youfit Health Clubs is about to achieve a
major milestone the opening of its 60th club nationwide. And by happy
coincidence, the 60th club will be opening here in South Florida.

Youfit
was started five years ago by Rick Berks, a successful entrepreneur (and South
Florida native). It’s now one of the fastest-growing companies in the fitness
industry, with gyms currently located in Florida, Arizona, California, and
Georgia, and clubs soon to open in Texas, Colorado, and Tennessee. The 60th gym
will be opening in mid-December, at 801Congress Ave. in Boynton Beach. And it
will be the company’s 20th in South Florida.

Berks’ business model is the
opposite of traditional health clubs. There are no long-term contracts (you pay
by the month). No intimidating bodybuilders or “gym rats” (the clubs aren’t
designed for them). No pressure to join (no salespeople!). And no carbon
footprint. In fact, these may be the “greenest” gyms in America – the floors,
for example, are made of either recycled tires or Nike “grind” (recycled
sneakers!).

“I’m always amazed when people tell me they’d need to get in
shape before they’ll walk into a club,” Berks says. “That’s not what exercise
should be about. It should be fun, and it should be in a non-threatening
atmosphere. Our philosophy is to build a different kind of club, without the
trauma and drama of the usual health club.”

Berks’ philosophy is to build
clubs where “you” will “fit” right in. And to charge the lowest prices you’ve
ever seen for a first-class fitness operation.

“We’re proud of our
Florida heritage,” Rick Berks says. “It’s largely because of Florida that we
were able to reach the 60-mark so quickly. We’re creating new businesses here in
Florida and across the country – and new jobs. And we’re creating them in an
environmentally-friendly way.”

Berks is a successful entrepreneur with a
colorful story, and he’s opening clubs around the country at the rate of more
than one a month.South Florida-based Youfit Health Clubs is about to achieve a
