The new 8,800 square foot West Roxbury location resembles more of a spa than the typical fitness or weight loss center. FitWorx has a soothing, neutral color palette, and plenty of "elbow room" to move about. Tropical plants, natural lighting and carpeting accent the interior. Instead of free weights, members work out on state-of-the-art Cybex machines. FitWorx also presents a nonthreatening, family atmosphere where personal trainers aren't in-your-face mercenaries, but trusted friends/advisors who care about members attaining health goals. And, members pay no extra for that caring - it’s part of the $59 monthly fee.

FitWorx programs include meal plans, exercise routines, and accountability for sticking with the plan. FitWorx FitCoaches track each member's progress with weigh-ins, Fit Tests, and food journals.

FitWorx is owned and managed by partners Rick Langella, a 30-year veteran of the fitness industry, and Keith Johnson, personal trainer and professional athlete. The partners launched their first location in Pembroke in 2013. They now have four locations, and an ambitious plan to expand to 20 locations by 2020.

"FitWorx is specifically designed for the 85 percent of the American public who really don’t like to exercise and need a comfortable, supportive environment to help them develop a new healthier lifestyle. We have a unique and highly successful program that truly changes lives for the better, evidenced by our countless success stories. We empower our participants with the tools needed to attain - and maintain - a healthy lifestyle and better overall health for years to come," explained Langella.

A FitWorx membership includes: full access to the facility seven days per week; friendly training with a FitCoach three times per week on full body strength training workouts; weekly weigh-ins; monthly re-evaluations to track progress and help determine the best course of action to reach goals; and personalized weight loss program and meal planning with weekly plan review.
