We have with us um today Matt Tembe. He's the owner, owner, and founder of Vault Health and Fitness in downtown Perrysburg. Um, it is a health and fitness club. He started it in 2018. And in my opinion, I've been going to various health clubs over the last 30 years. It's the best fitness gym that I've ever been to. Um and Matt, um, why don't you tell us a little bit about Vault?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, Chuck, thanks for the kind words. Um, so Vault's Health and Fitness is a coaching business. Now, when somebody finds us, um, they typically are searching for you know a personal trainer in Perrysburg or in Northwest Ohio or a gym near me. Um and so, yes, our our building is a gym, but um, we provide services from we we always start with a consultation. So we have the opportunity to get to know somebody, understand who they are as a person, um, understand what it is that they're seeking for. Um, usually somebody's coming to us to help them solve a problem. Um, and then from there we guide them into personal training. And then they have the option of continuing with personal training, going into group training, small group training, so some specialty programming. Um, and then we can also help them with nutrition uh coaching as well.
SPEAKER_00And why don't you talk about your location and the other individual uh things you do for people?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so we're located right in the heart of downtown Perrysburg. We're on 2nd Street, about uh maybe 100 feet from the uh the corner of Louisiana and 2nd Street. Uh so you know, when you're at the farmer's market, um we have a great spot to uh to see all the action and we do some outdoor sessions on Thursdays during the summer when uh weather permits. And then um, you know, everybody has different goals, and and we'll I'm sure we'll talk about that a little bit more later. Um, but when you enter the lobby of our building, it says unlock your better. And um, that's gonna be different for everybody because some people have uh a fat loss goal, they have uh a goal of gaining more energy. So, you know, a professional like yourself or myself, you know, a lot of professionals kind of hit the wall after lunchtime and they're seeking more energy to continue to be productive and serve the people in their businesses better. So they're seeking more energy, uh, they want to build muscle, uh, they're getting ready for vacation or uh some special family event. And so that better is is very subjective to the individual. But um, through the different uh options that we have and services, we're able to design a program uh that works for everybody. So, Chuck, I'll I'll use you for example. You were somebody that was already working out, you know, seven days a week, and it's something that you do for stress relief and just to stay healthy so that you can uh be the best um business owner and attorney that you can be and serve the people that you've served for a long time. Um but we, you know, you went through personal training when you first got started. You also did nutrition coaching with us, and you do group training with us uh five mornings a week. And your goals are different than other people's goals that are in the same group setting than you. We do something called a goal review. So um we sit down with each member, or every member has the opportunity to sit down with a coach every 90 days. We do a body composition scan so we can see how you're doing with your body fat progression, your muscle mass. Um, and then we also have those things built into our group programming so that you can track your progress both from a strength perspective and then a cardiovascular output and endurance perspective. So as our business has evolved and we've gotten better individually, we've also gotten better as a team so we can better serve our clients.
SPEAKER_00So, Matt, um, one thing I think that's interesting about you is your story. Um, you're really young and you're an entrepreneur. Uh, why don't you tell um the listeners about your background, where you went to high school, and how you got from there to here?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Um, so something that is very important to me is um I'm from an immigrant family from Italy. My mom is one of 12 children, and uh family means the world to me. And uh I was born and raised in uh in a small town in Michigan, Howell, Michigan. Um I started playing, I played sports starting at four years old. Um, when I was in high school, I started playing football for the first time. And uh after my first season, I remember hearing my my coach tell my mom that I was a good athlete, but I couldn't play because I was too small and he was afraid that I'd get hurt. And so the next day, I uh I wandered very uh anxiously into our high school weight room uh that have like this rusty um sliding fence. And uh I remember being very intimidated, but that was the first time I ever strength trained. And um, I was 13 and uh I'll be turning 34 this year. And so for the last 21 years, um, fitness has been a really important part of my life. So I ended up um following high school. Um I played football in college at a at a small Division III school up in Michigan um called Elma College. And uh, you know, my love for fitness continued to grow during that time. Now, during that season of my life, I was making a lot of bad decisions and uh was constantly um in trouble uh with the university, with law enforcement. And uh, and so that was a I was very immature. And um I found my way into bodybuilding after football ended for me. And that was kind of my competitive outlet, and I did that for seven years. But from a career perspective, um I bounced around. I was I was uh searching for a good fit. And uh again, at that point in my life, uh alcohol had a really strong grip on basically everything I did. So I worked as a financial advisor for a year, um, and that was a really bad fit for me. Um and then I went to JP Morgan Chase and I was there for maybe three months. And uh I was fortunate to to have an opportunity to work for Target um after that. And so um I started as a in like an assistant manager role, and I did that um and then had the opportunity to take on a larger role. And then um within two and a half years, I was running stores for Target and I was in Lansing, Michigan at the time, and Target asked me to relocate to Toledo. And uh so I Googled um, you know, safe places to live in Toledo. You know, from Michigan, I don't have much experience in Ohio, and so Toledo doesn't have this great reputation. Um, and so I found Perrysburg through that Google search, and uh Perrysburg has become home. I've been here for eight years and have fallen in love really with Northwest Ohio in general. Um, I've been amazed by the kindness um and generosity of the people in the area, and uh this is where um I will raise my family and uh I'm I'm thankful for that for that opportunity. So during my time at Target in 2015, two pivotal things happened in my life. Um the first was I I got sober on October 31st, uh, 2015 was the last time I drank. And then a couple uh weeks later, I was invited back to church, and uh, and that planted the seed in my heart to give my heart back to Jesus. I was raised in a Christian home, but hadn't been um active in my faith or following uh my faith for a long time. And so that led to restlessness in my career. Um, I love building teams, I love leading community. It's a gift that I have that I'm thankful for. But um I realized it at that moment of my life that I needed to make a greater impact on people's lives. And I wanted to do that by sharing what I had discovered in myself with health and fitness. I wanted to share that with other people. So in 2016, I started um coaching people online while I was still working for Target. Um, and so that was a cool experience, but I wasn't pulling the correct levers to grow that business to eventually replace my career with Target. And uh as time went on, I became more restless in my role and I really wanted to be in health and fitness full time. So I had the opportunity to work um with First Form. They're a supplement company in St. Louis. And um, after a few, a few different opportunities of interviewing with them and um having a coaching role presented to me, I just realized that it wasn't the right opportunity and that I needed to find a different vehicle to bring my dream to life. And um there was a franchise that uh the founder actually went to high school with me, and that franchise is called TrueFit, and it's based out of Michigan. Um at one point they had 25 locations, and I opened the first out-of-state location for TrueFit as TrueFit Perry'sburg, which is now Vault Health and Fitness. So that was how I got into um health and fitness full-time. And we opened the gym in 2018, September of 2018. Again, I was still running stores for Target. Um, and then I also bought a gym that was going through a bankruptcy transaction down in Cincinnati. Um and so that gym is is now branded as Del High Fitness Club. So we're in the township of Del High in Cincinnati. And uh I I continued to stay at Target until June of 2019. I did that strategically so that um both businesses could be debt-free and I wouldn't have to make hard financial decisions um for either business. And I could really just focus on how do we best serve our people and uh and do that without financial strain. So um eventually uh we'll we'll cut it there and uh I'll tell you how we got to Vault when whenever you feel that's appropriate.
SPEAKER_00So it's interesting. Um, you really didn't have the um the thought to become an entrepreneur originally, it came after you uh were at Target.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and and Target was uh Target has a great process and a great system for um developing people and giving people the opportunity to lead others. And uh I had some incredible mentors um both in store when I was in an assistant role and out of store, um, whether that was a district leader or a group leader or even a regional leader, people that truly took interest in your success and uh in your growth as a person. And uh obviously that can lead to success and growth as a professional. Um, and so that really prepared me, you know, running a large business and leading large teams prepared me to run a small business. Um, granted, it was a lot harder, and running gyms are a lot harder than I thought they would be. Um, but you know, that's the that's the journey. Just like you love what you do with building your teams and in law, um, I love that with with health and fitness.
SPEAKER_00So um, how scary was it to uh open your first business?
SPEAKER_01Um at the time, it wasn't horribly intimidating because I had Target backing that dream. I uh, you know, I had my corporate salary. Um, it was very scary walking away when I um I gave Target about a month's notice. They knew I was leaving at some point. We just didn't know when. Um, and I I was very good to Target, and Target was very good to me. So um we already had our backfill. Um she was promoted, she was a great leader in our on our team. Um, and then she she stepped up and replaced me in the store that I was in, uh, which was in Holland. Um and but then it was different because um that was in you know summer of 2019. I I was traveling to Cincinnati two days a week at the time um to go to my other gym, and I no longer had a consistent paycheck. And it was like you eat what you kill, um, more or less. And then I assumed that 2020 would be a great year and that uh my stress would go down. And obviously, we none of us knew that uh that COVID was right around the corner, and um that posed a huge challenge for gyms, specifically um since we're an in-person business and uh and gyms were forced to close um in the spring of 2020.
SPEAKER_00So let's talk about um when you originally started. Um I think a lot of businesses uh have the issue of how do you get clients?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so uh true fit had had a six-week challenge that we would run. And uh so new locations would do that for free. Um, and so when we ran that, so keep in mind I'm I'm at a target store for for 60 plus hours a week. And uh, and then I had this other business down in Cincinnati. And so I was always on the go. But in my you know, my free time, I was at uh at Vault. We'll just refer to it as that, since that's what it is now. Um, and so we ran this six-week challenge and we had over 120 people show up uh to the kickoff. I think it was on like a Monday night, and the the line was literally out the door. Um, I was completely overwhelmed, my team was completely overwhelmed, and uh, and so that was, you know, we converted, I don't know, a very low percentage, but maybe 30 people. And uh TrueFit does a good job of promoting for uh for grand opening. Uh granted, I you know, if I could do it again, I wouldn't do it the same way. But we opened probably with 30 members that that signed up on the first day. And uh so we had a decent base where we were about profitable. Um, but I I didn't have a good system for um for financial stability. And so as our revenue grew because I didn't have, I wasn't paying myself, um, our expenses always grew in proportion to what our revenue was. And so we were, even as we grew um up to 200 plus members um prior to COVID, um, there was still no profit. I still wasn't paying myself. And so from that perspective, it was very hard. Um, and I I needed I needed guidance to uh to teach me how to do those things and really build those systems. Coming from Target from a you know a Fortune 50 company where there's a best practice literally for everything in the business, um, you just execute the best practice. And when you have your own business, the best practice comes from you. And it's so you haven't taken the time to take what's in your mind and put it on paper and teach your team, there is no best practice. And that can lead to a world where you're always spinning your wheels and it leads to burnout, which is we see it a lot in the health and fitness field, um, especially in this role that I'm in. With eventually I sought out mentorship through two brain mentorship or true two-brain business, which is a mentorship practice. Um, they're based out of Canada and they're um worldwide. And so I do sales, I'm in a sales role for them now, um, in addition to what I do with the with my gyms. And so I talk to gym owners across the globe every day that are struggling just to keep their doors open, which is really sad to see because they provide an important service within their community to help people have a better quality of life. And oftentimes the people behind the scenes are struggling just to make by or to get by, and and they're struggling with burnout, they're struggling with depression. Um, yet they put on this happy face to encourage others to to build these new habits in their life to have a better quality of life. Meanwhile, they're struggling. So that was hard because I went through that season. I lived that life for um for several years until I sought out mentorship to help me change.
SPEAKER_00So talk about um COVID and being a gym owner. I mean, it's difficult enough starting a new business, but COVID seems like just like an extra horrible thing that, you know, that affected you probably more than most people.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I mean, obviously, um, you know, as a business owner, you know that there was a lot of changes that you had to make. As a gym owner, again, we see people um what I share with people is I see you, I will see you more than you see your primary care physician, your uh your dentist, your chiropractor, your massage therapist, all combined in a month, we will see you by far more. And so we're a healthcare provider, um, and we do that through coaching. And so suddenly we weren't seeing our people. And so um, Vault is built so strongly around relationships and around community. We had to pivot quickly to maintain that communication, maintain those relationships with our members. And so we we quickly pivoted to online, which I think a lot of gyms did, but some gyms did it better than others by doing the things that already made you special. So we would do um, we would do Saturday hangout sessions through Zoom. Um, there was a there was uh, I think it's called like Jackbox. And so that was like a virtual game that that I bought, and you could have like unlimited users playing the same game. So we did a few weekends of that. Um, we we developed some challenges that we would do that were um highly revolving around social media and posting um within both our individual um private Facebook group for our community, as well as you know, on somebody's Instagram or on their Facebook or their their TikTok. Um, and so those were ways that we continued to stay in touch. And then we also led um small group meetups. So coaches would have um groups of members that were assigned to them, and then they would jump on a small group Zoom with I think it was like around five to eight people, and you would just check in on those people and you would have an open discussion of what was going well, what they were struggling with, and then we give them, you know, an action step to take over the next week before we had our next meetup. So those are things that we did at Vault. Now at my other gym in Cincinnati, that's a pay-for-access gym. So think of a Planet Fitness where there's a lot of equipment and you walk in and it's open 24-7. Um, and yeah, there is some personal training available there, um, but mainly people pay you for the access to the equipment. That was really challenging because we had bought out um a couple of our partners. I do have partners in that gym. Um, I have one partner. So we had bought out a couple partners, and um, we had literally written the check to get them out of the business the week before we were forced to close. And um our building had been sold, and so we were going through construction to build out a new space because we had to be out by September. Um, we reopened at the end of June down in Cincinnati, and then we closed again in September. We had a lot of construction delays due to COVID, and so our gym was closed from September until Christmas of 2020 because we didn't have a space to go. Um, our building was torn down. Uh, they're they're building a new development and where our building used to be in Cincinnati. And uh, and so that was very hard because for six months we had no revenue, and um, there was you know some tough moments where we weren't sure if we were gonna make it. Um, but fortunately that business has has really turned the corner and and we're doing really well now.
SPEAKER_00So a couple of I think competitive advantages that your gym has. You have uh the goal setting and the individual programs, but I think that something that's that I find unique is you can have um very serious athletes and you could have somebody like me or um people in their 20s or 30s, you basically have a whole um a whole whole bunch of different dimensions of types of people, and they all seem very comfortable with each other.
SPEAKER_01You know, it starts with the desire to have relationships. Um I don't think that that's any different. Really, for most businesses, if you genuinely care about somebody and and you take the approach of helping that person um and everybody's getting the same high level of service, I think that puts everybody at a at a state of comfort and ease. And um, to your point, in a group setting, typically the the youngest member that we'll see in a group setting is somebody that's either in their master's program or their PhD program. And we have members in their 70s, um, and we have everybody in between um sharing uh a group session together. We have um, I'm really proud of our team because we've evolved over the last really nine months in how we program our group. Um, and so we've given ownership of that to specific coaches that that's really within their wheelhouse. And so it is a unique balance of balancing, you know, you have somebody that just got done with um, we call our intro to personal training. It's a it's a curriculum-based personal training course of five one-on-one sessions where we can make sure that you're training safely, that you're training efficiently, so that you're you know being productive in that time that you have, and that we're building a relationship of trust with that person. Then when they transition into group, they could be next to somebody like you who trains with us, you know, five mornings a week. You've been with us for about a year, and um, and you've been in, you know, you've been taking care of your fitness and prioritizing your fitness for a long time. That can be really intimidating to somebody. But because we're a coaching business and we have built a foundation of a relationship with that individual in a one-on-one setting, we can continue to connect with them in a group setting and make sure that they're getting what they need. Um, we have uh built-in checkpoints at 30 days, 60 days, and then we have those goal reviews every 90 days. Um, we also reach out to members when we don't see them. Um, if we haven't seen you in the last week, you're getting a text or a phone call to uh make sure that we know what's going on in your life. Because ultimately, as a as coaches, we are coaching habit change that leads to a better quality of life. And if we don't have a system for that, most people cannot be successful with that on their own. And that's really why we exist to provide that structure and that guidance and that coaching to help people get to where they want to be.
SPEAKER_00Right. Um, I really Like the group training just because it forces me to do what I need to do. And if I train on my own, I don't think that I uh work nearly as hard. And um it's also very helpful to have the other people. A lot of times I learn how to do the uh the different exercises by watching the other people. So it's really a very family and uh team-oriented approach, which I think is uh is different than most gyms.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, absolutely. I I agree. I like being a member just as much as I enjoy owning the business.
SPEAKER_00So let's talk about uh hours. I'm I'm in your morning um time slot, but you have a lot of people like later in the evening, right? So talk about your hours and the different you know times of classes and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so group training starts at 5:30 in the morning. Um we do a 5:30, a 6.30, and a 9.30 a.m. And then we do a 5:30 and 6.30 p.m. Uh we recently added five minutes to our sessions from 45 minutes to 50 minutes. And then personal training is done anytime between 7:20 a.m. And uh we start our personal training sessions as late as 7:30 p.m. Um and we do it all times in between. Um, so there really isn't a reason that somebody, um, if we were a good fit for somebody and and they believed that we had um the the right coaches and the right resources to lead them to their goals, um, scheduling should not be a challenge for them.
SPEAKER_00Maybe uh mention a little bit about your individual coaches. I mean, they're all very personable and very knowledgeable, and uh, you know, they're very helpful to people that uh, you know, aren't professional athletes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So um our head coach, Aaron Higgins, she was uh a high school and in college athlete. She was a uh she rode crew um at Anthony Wayne and at Miami of Ohio. Um she got into competitive um physique competitions um after college. And uh she was just an avid gym goer goer. She was uh she signed up as a member at the gym on our first day and was always very involved in the community. Um we were looking for more coaches in the spring of 2019, and she joined our team. She was uh she has her master's degree um in uh in therapy. Um, and so she did counseling for uh children that had gone through um you know loss or traumatic experiences. And uh she eventually transitioned into working for us full-time and she's continued to grow and take on more roles and responsibilities. So Erin does a lot of our personal training, um, and she was doing a large majority of our group, and uh, and now she's kind of scaling out of that role to take on more responsibilities. Um, we have Stephanie Funkhauser. She is um she was a stay-at-home mom for a long time, but she's a marathon runner. She ran the Boston Marathon, which was a bucket list item for her last year. So we are really proud of her for that. Um, she's a certified nutrition coach and uh and she has a home gym, uh actually a pretty large home gym. Um, they call that F5, and uh it's for you know friends and family that of her and her husband. And so they have a small community that they built um in their home as well. But she's one of the most detail-oriented people I know. Um, she's also one of the kindest, most generous people I know. Um so it's been great to have her on the team. Um, we have uh Austin. Um Austin joined our team. Uh Austin Van Butzkirk. Uh, so he joined our team last summer. He is getting his master's degree in strength and conditioning. Um, and he went to Bowling Green State University and has his undergrad through them in exercise health science. And he he loves uh coaching. Uh, that's what his his career goal is. And uh he loves coaching youth. And so as we talk about where we're heading in the future, um, Austin has a big role in that. Um, we would love for to see him lead our youth program. Um, he's already doing personal training with um with the youth that we now serve, um, but eventually we'll transition into a group setting for youth. Um, and so we have really exciting plans there. Um, and then Adam Dunkel is our other coach. Um, so Adam just joined our team uh less than a month ago. He is a registered dietitian. Um, he got his undergrad and his master's degree from Kent State University. Um, and he also does personal training, just like um Austin and Stephanie and Aaron. Um, and then he's um getting trained on doing group training as well. Now having Adam on the team allows us to go a little bit deeper with our nutrition coaching. Um, we do have one other coach who I'll mention here momentarily, but as certified nutrition coaches, there are certain things that we cannot help with. Um, so somebody that's uh struggled with an eating disorder, somebody that has a medical diagnosis like uh a type one or type two diabetes, um, they've struggled with uh or they've been diagnosed with an issue with their thyroid, those are things that we cannot help with. But as a registered dietitian, Adam is able to provide care to those people. And his passion is really being proactive. So he's done um a lot of counseling in a um in a clinical setting or a rehabilitation setting where somebody has had a heart attack and now, based on their insurance, they have to see a registered dietitian to continue to get their insurance to contribute to their care. And a lot of those people don't, they're not in a mental place where they want to make changes. Um and so being in a gym where somebody is investing in um improving their health and fitness, and he gets to be on the proactive side. So he's really excited for that. And then our last coach is Kelly Whitmer. Um, she is a certified nutrition coach as well. She doesn't do any group or personal training. Um but Kelly's been on her team just over a year and uh is just cares so much about people and always goes the extra mile to uh make sure that people are comfortable and that they're welcomed and that they're getting a great experience and that they're changing their habits. And Kelly's background, she comes from a family that um has struggled with um with their health. And she struggled with her health um many years ago following her following her pregnancies with her two sons. And uh, and so really through trial and error, that's how she developed this passion for nutrition. And um she worked at uh at a large Toledo corporation in HR, and um she was a member, she and her husband were members of the gym, and she wasn't happy, she wasn't fulfilled in her role, and she wanted to help people with um with their health through nutrition. And uh, we were looking for somebody else to bring onto our team to start to grow that nutrition program outside of um me delivering the majority of nutrition coaching, and uh, she's been a huge asset to our team.
SPEAKER_00And they're all excellent. Um, Matt, could you talk about uh Vault's vision and uh the new facility?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so um I look at I look at Benchmark Restaurant. Um they're located in Levis Commons as um, and and they've really they've only been opened a year, they opened a year prior to us, um, but they have built such a strong following. When you go to benchmark, two things are universally true. You know that you're gonna have outstanding service and that you will feel proud to bring your friends and family members um to their establishment to celebrate a milestone or for a date night or just to go out and have fun with friends. You know that the service will be exceptional and you know that the food will blow you away every time. And I look at Benchmark and what they're building, um, what the what the owners, Jeff and Megan, have built, both with their team of how they take care of their people and what their vision is. So they're opening a new restaurant, um, Claude's Prime Seafood, right next to Benchmark. Um, and they they recently purchased Jed's, um, and that is being rebranded and will reopen here in the next couple of weeks as Harbor Town eats. Um, but I look at their business as really a foundation in Perrysburg that's gonna be around for decades and that people will um talk about fondly and they have this affinity to the brand. And that's really what we want to build with Vault. Um, it's a high-end experience. Um, you know that it's always going to, that you're always gonna be celebrated, um, welcomed, and supported um every time you come in the doors, and that um the service will always um go far above and beyond your wildest expectations. That's what our expectations are internally. Um, it's always gonna be a clean facility. You're always gonna have kind, positive people around you in the group. Our culture doesn't allow somebody to be um negative and to be toxic. Um, it's really a self-um regulating community in that regard. Somebody that has that in their personality probably won't feel comfortable in our community because it's um full of kind, positive people that are very generous in so many aspects of their life. So that's really our foundation. And again, with with the vision of creating a better quality of life for people through coaching and health and fitness. So we had the opportunity to purchase a building um in Perrysburg. Again, we're right now we're located in downtown. Um, this new building is located on Roachden Road, um, directly across from the entrance to Levis Commons, where Owens, Illinois, um uh corporate private entrance. I don't know if it's a private entrance, but their corporate entrance is right across from our new building. And uh we're right next to the high school. Um we're right next to West Side Montessori, is you know, maybe a sixteenth of a mile down the road, and then um Hall Prairie is about an eighth of a mile down the road. There's a lot of neighborhoods that are near our our new um location. So we're excited about visibility. Um we're excited to be closer to where the center of our town is growing to as Perrysburg continues to grow. That's where the growth is happening um down the um the Route 25 corridor and uh and then filling in on Roachden and really on Five Point Road as well. So the reason that we um we wanted better visibility and then we wanted more space. And so um I would love to share what these programs will look like. Right now, our our primary person that we serve, the person that we see the most of, is a female between 30 and 40 years old who lives in Perrysburg. She works part-time or full-time and she has children. Um, and so we will see her when she's going to Westside Montessori to pick up or drop off her kids. She might live on Roachden Road or her kids might go to Hall Prairie or to the high school. So we'll see that individual more often. But then we want to make sure that we're um impacting the core of her family. So, how do we help her husband with his health and fitness goals? How do we help her children with what they want to accomplish with their fitness typically? Um, that's usually sports related, but it could be health related as well. Um, and so we want to have programs that can serve the entire family. So we we will be um launching our youth program um in our current facility this spring near the end of the school year. So we're excited to um to open that up. That will be a part-time program due to our space constraints. But in the new building, we will have that as a full-time program after school where we have different age groups that will be training together in addition to the private training that we do with youth. So that's the first edition. The second edition, and Chuck, you've been in Northwest Ohio for, I believe, the majority of your life. So you'll understand this. Oftentimes, and this was a new uh dynamic for me when I moved to Perrysburg in 2014. There's a lot of people that graduate from high school, they go away for college, they, you know, they settle down in uh, you know, Columbus or the Cleveland area or maybe out of state, but then they miss Northwest Ohio. They miss um the small town community and they miss the kindness of people. So they move back. And a lot of times their family is still in the area. And so that demographic, that 30 to 40-year-old female, a lot of times her parents live in Northwest Ohio and they might be in their 50s, their 60s, or their 70s. And that is an underserved population in Northwest Ohio in terms of health and fitness specifically. And so we are developing a senior um training program, and that will be something that's offered for a specific age group. Um, you know, somebody like yourself who's in in their 60s, you have always prioritized your health and fitness. And so you fit well into our, you know, our open um group sessions. But somebody that hasn't had the same lifestyle and the same habits as you would probably not necessarily um be comfortable with that at your in your age range. And so they might be more comfortable with something that has peers in the same age range with the same ability levels. So we're gonna develop that um so that that is something that is available um to the older demographic in Northwest Ohio and really Perrysburg specifically. The third thing that we're adding is um yoga. So we will have a yoga studio that will actually have two different uh yoga rooms. Um we'll have a hot yoga studio and then we'll have a regular yoga studio that has different yoga practices. Um you think about the Toledo market, there's a lot of really great uh yoga studios in Toledo. A lot of our training in group, we have functional training and we have strength training. That leads to muscle building, which also often leads to uh tightness and uh and losing mobility if you're not conscious and actively working on those things. And so yoga will be a really good complement to the members of our community currently, and then people that just love yoga or want to get into yoga, whether that's for um stress relief, whether that's for meditation, or whether that's their their preferred form of exercise. The last thing that we're probably uh most excited about is having a universally accessible gym for adaptive athletes. Um that's something that is that doesn't exist really in Northwest Ohio, but it certainly doesn't exist in Perrysburg. Um, so if you think about somebody that has an injury that um has created a temporary disability, or somebody that has a permanent disability, um, there aren't facilities that are specifically geared for them that make them feel welcomed and part of the whole. Um, and so that is something that's really important to us in our design phase. And once we get into construction, um, we'll be bringing that to life. So we're excited about um that is really like the fourth edition um where we can continue to better serve people and in our community.
