200 True Clients is all a single 2,000 Square foot HIT Studio (with 2-3 exercise instructors) would need to make a great living. The Dallas, TX area is in need of a facility. There is a place called Slo*Fit in Plano, TX (http://www.slo-fit.com/) that is the closest thing to it. The place has been around for 16 years and is 80% of the way there, but in need of a face lift. They promote safe, slow, exercise in the the correct “dosage”, but need an upgrade in a couple pieces of equipment. I worked there briefly years ago, but it just didn’t work out. If you contact them to get on the directory, you may not want to mention my name :). The manager is a great guy.
Thanks Brian!
