BEVERLY, Mass. – Local entrepreneur Derek Maxfield was recognized with the Comeback of the Year Award from among 50 Massachusetts Fitness Together studio owners at the company’s recent gala event. The award is given to the studio owner who has overcome obstacles and shown to have what it takes to succeed despite adversity.
Dereck Maxfield is a young entrepreneur who, at the age of 20, opened his own Fitness Together studio in Beverly, Mass. Derek was on top of the world, but nothing could prepare him for having an SUV drive through his studio last summer, which wrecked his studio and caused over $140,000 in damage. The Beverly studio was temporarily relocated during the reconstruction, but this didn’t stop Derek from continuing to push forward, and during this time he was able to sign up 11 new clients. After moving back into the original studio, Derek finished the year with his highest revenue ever.
