![]() The way our classes set us apart from everyone else is that we offer a variety of different classes so nobody ever gets board. A good trainer will hold on to a client for a long time because that client gets the results that they want while forming a bond with the trainer. ![]() You know a trainer is good when they can branch off on their own and don’t need a big gym/corporation to just hand them clients after clients. Our trainers are hand selected by myself to ensure we have the best and brightest trainers in the market. HIT 180 Fitness offers Personal Training, Small Group Training, Variety of Classes, Sports Specific Training, In Home Training, Boxing Training and also Kids Fitness Training. So, as you know, we’re impressed with HIT 180 Fitness – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others. We are located in a warehouse district where most people never drive through unless they are coming to the gym. Our biggest obstacle is that we do not have any street visibility so when we started everything was heavy marketing and a lot of word of mouth. Opening up a new business is never an easy task and there are always struggles along the way. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you? We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. We make sure we are constantly switching up the classes so that nothing becomes repetitive and there is always new workouts to keep everyone motivated. With the classes we offer a variety of classes (HIT 180 class, Cardio Boxing, Legs, butt, & core, Tabata, Cardio Kickboxing), and with these classes anyone who purchases a package to the classes can take any of the classes that we offer. Each personal trainer was hired by myself and trained by me in order to ensure everyone gets the best and most out of their workouts. That is when I decided to open up HIT 180 Fitness which offers Personal Training, Small Group Training, Classes, In Home Training, Sports Specific Training and More. ![]() I have seen too many people get injured while working out or taking classes from either poor form or high impact workouts. To focus in on high intensity and low impact to prevent any injuries. Well having our studio located in the Northshore I wanted to offer two things. The first opportunity was the fact that all the group class studios only really have one type of class (full body) and they were all high intensity and high impact. These classes were great but I saw an opportunity to take advance of which these classes weren’t offering. ![]() I attended a class at Orange Theory and Shred 415 to see what the craze was about. I also started to see the trend of group classes really start taking off. As my schedule grew heavier and heavier with more clients I knew it was time to hire trainers who would work under myself and use my techniques and philosophy on our clients. In 2012 we moved to a 15,000 square foot facility in Northfield which was still a private personal training studio. As my clientele grew and their results spread by word of mouth I knew I could take this to the next level. I used my business degree marketing skills to market myself all over the Northshore. As I was starting this business I also started to work as a personal trainer working out of a private personal training studio in Glenview. After graduating from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management I started a small soccer academy with a partner that teaches the fundamentals of soccer to boys and girls ages 2 through 8 years old. As a teenager I started to get into weight lifting as one of my high school teachers inspired me and told me I had the potential to be an all-around athlete who is fit year round. ![]() As a kid I played almost every sport imaginable but focusing my main attention on soccer. Sports and Fitness have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a young. So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. Today we’d like to introduce you to George Solomos. ![]()
