Fitness Forum Makes Significant Monetary Commitment to Florence’s Downtown Revitalization Project

 

Fitness Forum to undergo Substantial Renovation

 

(Florence, S.C., Aug. 1, 2007) – The Fitness Forum will get a brand new look while contributing to the efforts of Florence’s downtown revitalization project.  These enhancements will update the appearance of the facility while breathing new life into Downtown Florence.

The renovations will be divided into several phases starting with demolition of certain areas in the facility. The project will convert over 2,400 square feet of under utilized space into additional space for the gym’s cardio-theatre and free weight areas.  More than $150,000 of cardio and free weight equipment has been added to replace outdated equipment with the most modern technology in fitness equipment.  In addition, men’s and women’s locker rooms will be completely renovated, the retail shop will be expanded and will include a fresh lunch service daily and a full service day spa will be added to the facility. 

The exterior design will be coordinated with the City of Florence Downtown Revitalization Committee. The entire project will take approximately six months to complete, with the project being finalized before first quarter 2008. 

 “These renovations and the addition of new services demonstrate our commitment to personal fitness to our members and the community,” said Karen Leatherman, owner and operator of Fitness Forum. “We are excited about Florence’s downtown revitalization efforts and we want to be a part of its success.”

Fitness Forum, owned and operated by Karen Leatherman, is a 35,000 square foot personal fitness gym.  The facility is located at 120 E. Elm St. in downtown Florence. 

The Fitness Forum houses a retail store, smoothie bar, cardio equipment, free weights, racquetball court, indoor walking track,

group exercise rooms, outdoor pool, indoor saunas, hot tubs and tanning bed units.  In addition, there is 10,000 square feet used

 for 14 apartment units located above the facility. For more information visit www.fitnessforumonline.com.
