Fitness By Reese Online
Fitness by Reese was originally formed in January 2000. Initially a sole proprietor business entity, Fitness by Reese operated as Reese Brown doing business as Fitness by Reese. While stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI with the US Navy, Reese Brown was Command Physical Readiness Leader, in charge of helping sailors at his command pass physical readiness testing. Upon completion of his duty with the US Navy and returning to the Savannah area, Reese wanted to continue using his expertise in fitness and health to achieve positive results for civilians, or anyone, in need of his services. He very quickly started a small personal training business at a local gym on the Southside of Savannah. Since its inception, Fitness by Reese has prided itself upon achieving positive fitness results.
In 2005, Erin Bacon, a local CPA and devoted client of Fitness by Reese, left her full time accounting job to form a legal partnership with Reese. Erin had been a client of Fitness by Reese since early in 2002. By 2003, Erin was a certified fitness instructor and taught fitness classes at Savannah 24 Hour Family Fitness Centers and Downtown Athletic Club. During her time as a Fitness by Reese client, she has achieved dramatic results by following a Fitness by Reese Transformation Program (see before and after pictures included in Appendix A). After teaching fitness part-time for several years, Erin decided to make fitness a full time and lucrative endeavor. Reese and Erin formed a legal partnership, Fitness by Reese, LLC (the Company) in October 2005.
With Reese’s extensive fitness knowledge, Erin’s business expertise, prior business experience and a little more marketing exposure, the Company has grown exponentially in a short amount of time. Upon reaching an agreement with the owners of Savannah 24 Hour Family Fitness Centers, Reese and Erin decided to serve clients exclusively at Savannah 24 Hour Family Fitness Center locations. The Company now performs its services at four, soon to be five, of the following Savannah 24 Hour Family Fitness Center locations:
- Mid Town (located off White Bluff in ChathamPlaza)
- WilmingtonIsland (located on Johnny Mercer Blvd.)
- Downtown (located on Broughton St.)
- Southside (located in Savannah Mall)
- Pooler (located on HWY 80)
Currently, Fitness by Reese offers the following services related to fitness and health:
- Weight Loss or MuscleBuilding
- Diet/Nutrition Analysis
- Sports Conditioning
- Cardiovascular Fitness Training
- Strength Training
- Bodybuilding & Figure Contest Prep
- Pre & Post Orthopedic Surgery Therapy
The Company’s primary services offered are the 12 week transformation personal training programs and Boot Camp Savannah. These two services alone, whether in a group format or in a trainer-client setting, are successful in achieving the above mentioned fitness and health goals.
In addition to the above mentioned services, the Company hosts and sponsors a contest called the Savannah Strength and Endurance Challenge twice per year. The contest include 5 lifts (bench press, shoulder press, pull up, chin up and dip) followed immediately by a 3 mile run. Contestants are required to perform as many repetitions in each lift event as possible in a 3 minute time period (per lift), and complete the run as quickly as possible. Lift events have a 2 and 4 rep minimum while the run has a 26 and 28 minute maximum for men and women, respectively. The contest is extremely challenging and lots of fun. Leading up to the contest, the Company offers free seminars on how to train for the contest. The most recent Strength and Endurance Challenge was held in benefit of the Savannah Frank Callen Boys and Girls Club.
Fitness by Reese organized and implemented the most recent three WSAV Move it For Your Health Challenge programs. During that time, the company was featured each Tuesday on the 6:00 PM WSAV News, allowing viewers to call in and ask live Fitness by Reese trainers questions about fitness and nutrition.
Fitness by Reese is most renowned for its Boot Camp Savannah program. Savannah Morning news and other local publications have previously featured articles about Fitness by Reese Boot Camp Savannah.
The company’s slogan “Results are what we are about” is a fitting one, to say the least. But how does the Company get their clients to achieve the results? Fitness by Reese programs demand consistency by requiring all client attendance a minimum of 3 days per week. Our trainers are committed to pushing clients, in every work out, to the outer realms of their comfort zones, with out surpassing their physical limits. Company trainers consistently council clients on their commitment to doing what it takes (cardio, strength training & nutrition) to achieve their goals. As long as a program participant demonstrates a TRUE desire to attain their goals, the Company staff goes above and beyond contract in their time commitment regarding the participant. Rescheduling missed workouts is mandatory. Furthermore, severe tardiness for work outs is not tolerated and generally offset by a step up in work out intensity.
