Fitness Stylz owner, Tom Roy, tells the story of how his dynamic fitness center came to be: Since the introduction of Les Mills International, the people who provide us with the exercise programs BODYPUMP, BODYSTEP, BODYFLOW and BODYCOMBAT, Fitness Stylz has grown at a phenomenal rate. Our club was founded in July of 2000 and offered nothing more than a weight room and a small number of cardio bikes. ( We didn't even have a treadmill! ) The entire club fit into only 3, 000 square feet, and our membership was holding steady at about 38 people. Thanks to Les Mills, we grew in size and membership each year, until we were bursting at the seams with no physical space left to expand into. Our Les Mills exercise studio had a capacity of just 32 people, and by the spring of 2005, BODYPUMP classes were maxing out at an alarming rate. We actually had to move to a token' system, with class space tokens' being passed out to the first 32 people to arrive for each class! As you can imagine, people who arrived too late to get into class were not the happiest campers in the park.' The popularity of BODYPUMP, which had been the catalyst of our incredible growth in membership, was quickly becoming our greatest liability!
