Personal Training Studio Opens in Garwood

Garwood, NJ -- What started as a way to stay healthy and get stronger has since turned into a whole new life for Union County resident, Michael Anderson.

Ten years after immersing himself in fitness, Anderson is opening his first business Studio 111 Fitness at 111 Center Street in Garwood.

The two-day grand opening event is on Friday, May 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. where wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. The second day will be on Saturday, May 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with craft beers and BBQ served.

Anderson, a Mountainside local, orginially worked in construction. The manual labor took a toll on his body.

After doctor’s couldn’t help him, Anderson took his health into his own hands.

“I learned on my own how to fix myself,” Anderson said. “I couldn’t go back to do what I was doing or I would end up in the same place. So I made a career change, went to school and that’s kind of how this developed.”

Anderson graduated and became a certified personal trainer working at other gyms and studios.

With 10 years of experience, Anderson is taking the step to have his own place to offer his clients, which come from all over Union County.

“I offer one-on-one personal training for all ages,” Anderson said. “The studio is very private with separate areas. Someone can be working out while another is stretching and cooling down in their own space.”

Anderson serves clients of all ages and all ranges of athletic ability.

“I help kids, athletes, older clients and those with different issues such as with bad knees, replaced knees, replaced hips and teens in sports,” Anderson said. “No matter your goal - fat loss strengthening and condition - I can help.”
