YOUFIT HEALTH CLUBS OPENING SECOND CLUB IN NORCROSS
Youfit Health Clubs is about to open its 7th new club in Metro Atlanta.
Youfit has already opened new clubs in Norcross, Kennesaw, Douglasville, Buford, Suwanee, and Roswell, and all are doing very well. Now the company’s opening a second club in Norcross, at 5450 Peachtree Parkway -- its 62nd in America. And it’s now scouting additional locations in North Georgia.

Youfit operates on a business model that’s unusual in the tradition-bound health club industry.
“We’ve tried to offer a concept – and an experience – that’s much different than the usual health club,” says company Founder/President Rick Berks. “We’re geared to the average person who just wants to stay in shape, rather than bodybuilders or ‘gym rats.’ We don’t have long-term contracts…you pay month-to-month. We don’t have any salespeople…so there’s no one pressuring you to join. And our goal is to have the Greenest clubs in America. For example, when you walk in, you’ll be walking on floors made of recycled tires or Nike ‘grind’ - recycled sneakers! And the heating/cooling, water, and power systems are all Green.”

The “Youfit” name is the company’s philosophy. These are clubs where “you” can “fit” in, without feeling uncomfortable, and without dealing with pushy salespeople. The equipment is all new, and all American-made. And the fees are extremely reasonable.
“North Georgia has been our priority this past year,” Rick Berks says. “And we’re delighted with the way this region has responded to our concept.”
