About Us
After graduate school from the University of South Carolina, Karen Leatherman, a Florence native, dreamed of operating a wellness facility to promote better health in the Florence Community. After proposing the idea to the management at Bruce Hospital, she received the green light to make her dream a reality. In 1984, the Fitness Forum was born as the first hospital based facility in SC, and one of the first dozen in the nation. During the 16 years as a hospital based facility, the Fitness Forum served as a wellness/fitness model for hospitals across the state. In 2000, Karen pursued the opportunity to take on full ownership of the Fitness Forum. As the Owner/President of the company, Karen's dream has come full circle. Our employee family is comprised of:

Instead we want to become your fitness family, committed to supporting you through the everyday journey to remain healthy and fit. We are committed to you...from start to fitness. | My name is Miss Fit
I am the mascot at the Fitness Forum. I can often be seen at the front desk greeting you as you come in. One of my main responsibilities is cleaning the floor so if you happen to drop a crumb from your energy bar, no worry.
