October 2025 –

I reflect on so many obstacles in business and personal life for myself, staff and colleagues in recent years. After the pandemic, with the increase in business and supply demands presented, my wife and I purchased a second warehouse and headquarters to grow our distribution and have added some wonderful additional showrooms but it was a rough few years.

Due to so many meetings at restaurants and general carelessness I found myself out of my own fitness routine and overeating – I gained a lot of weight – it happened so quickly. I did not feel well and I did not look well either but I am a very committed person and with the help of my wife I am in the best shape of my life at 53, no pills-no shortcuts. I tell you this because I truly identify with my customers’ needs.

One of my biggest pieces of advice for exercise is you have to do your workouts every day and they must be intense. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS but you will breathe better, sleep better, feel and look amazing. It takes a lot of devotion but I RUN on my treadmill every day. Please do the same!

Fitness Equipment needs to be comfortable and always top performing. Do not sell your workouts short- buy the best! It has taken me a lot of time to have the courage to say that but it makes a difference- I sell a wide range of the best product brands.

Since the challenges of the pandemic then soaring price increases and now heading into a tariff-impacted time of uncertainty we all must examine cost and process. I am committed more than ever to having the lowest prices and the best service! I am very thankful I operate two very controlled overheads in my distribution (buildings I own) which is helping us serve all of our markets including our newest and largest showroom in Greater Boston/ New England with our famous Worcester Street location in Natick, Massachusetts! We are also on our way to developing the Florida market in the next 24 months- stay tuned!

About Fitness Showrooms:

I opened my first store at the age of 19.

I wanted to provide the most variety of innovative cardio and strength products to my customers at our stores-selection unmatched by any competitor. I do not sell products through this website because I am committed to the showroom experience where you can consult an outstanding staff member while physically trying the different equipment options. It is the most important part of the process to try the equipment before you buy-fitness equipment feels different to EVERYONE. The best part of visiting Fitness Showrooms is you will never have to worry about price, we will always be lower than any other source. I have no partners and I own most of my buildings, I can afford to give you the best deal. Please email me anytime at info@fitshowrooms.com and I will see you at the stores! Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

One last thing to keep in mind, before you visit your local showroom, remember we service all of our own clients directly. We DO NOT outsource service. I believe we are one of the last of a handful of specialty fitness dealerships to offer service. It is expensive to offer direct service but worth it. I have a huge team of office, warehouse, delivery and service experts working for me for over 25 years. It is a large family but again, keep in mind, they are all employees of Fitness Showrooms!

Thank You for taking the time to visit our stores!

Best of Health and Success,
