2009 Testimonials



“We’re opening our first club –a franchise—but since we’re still building, we need a lot of things like flooring and equipment. Club Industry East is a great resource for exploring our options and finding everything we need to open. Seeing the equipment in this environment is eye opening."

Lynnea Malke, Athletic Director,
Anytime Fitness, East Lyme, CT

 “Club Industry East has been very helpful to us: we’re looking to purchase some small equipment and some major upgrades to our facility which serves 15,000 students. It was interesting to see the Town Hall Meeting on licensure and see where everything is.  If we didn’t see the equipment and technology we’re encountering here, we wouldn’t be up to date on what is going on."

Chris Fitzgerald, Assistant Athletic Director,
Rick Sledzik, Intramural Program Director
UMass, Boston

 “We have three branches in the Central MA YMCA and we came to Club Industry East exploring software for my branch well as kids fitness equipment for a family gym we plant to open. We had some very beneficial demos and feel that our visit will help us  move forward."

Rhonda Polansky, Assoc. Executive Director

“I came to Club Industry East to check the latest strength training and agility equipment on the market to help out our soldiers. I’m meeting vendors I’ve worked with previously as well as some new ones that have sparked my interest. I’ve also made some very valuable networking contacts.“

“We’re opening a new club in a couple of months and have gotten some ideas on marketing, management and web use at the Club Industry East seminars that will be immediately useful to us. We’re also looking at equipment and finalizing some of our decisions. Being here got educated, motivated and ready to go!"

“We came to Club Industry East to check out the latest cardio and strength equipment and we’ve seen some pretty cool stuff from vendors we might like to follow up with. We’ve been coming for years and have found suppliers and made some good networking contacts.”

Jon Andrade, Manager,

“The Club Industry seminars on medical referrals, sales and personal training have been very enlightening. I’m also looking at software in the exhibits and meeting people from the East Coast as well. Very much worth the trip.”

Amy Batsen, Director
Healthline Wellness Center, Jackson, MS

“Club Industry East seminars have provided some excellent information on weight loss and functional training. I‘ve also brought three trainers from my facility so they can see the larger scope of the fitness industry. We’ve been looking at new cardio equipment that we wouldn’t have seen unless we were here. it’s imperative for small clubs to be here to know what’s going on.”
