Derrick resides in Kennesaw and has seen many changes in the Paulding and north Cobb areas. With the boom in the fitness industry, Derrick wanted to offer more than just the best equipment, but a staff that would allow people to feel at home with no high-pressure sales. Sticking with the family oriented theme, Derrick brought on board his son Beau to manage the facility, while Nicole, his daughter, helps with the bookkeeping duties.
Because of the friendly environment, 24/7 Freedom Fitness has attracted everyone from teenagers to senior citizens including police staff, teachers, and many others from various backgrounds. “It’s amazing to see how many people have become workout partners when they were strangers just months ago”, said Mike Whitfield, one of the fitness trainers at 24/7 Freedom Fitness. As a matter of fact, one of the members, Cynthia Clayton, became a trainer at the facility. That is exactly how Derrick intended it to be.
Since opening in the spring of 2007, the community gym is already full of success stories, including Nancy Langston of Dallas, GA, who dropped 40 lbs. Nancy, who worked with a personal trainer at Freedom Fitness, said, “I had to buy a new wardrobe – workout clothes and all. All of the people that surround me each day are inspired and in awe at how far I’ve come in such a short time.”
24/7 Freedom Fitness offers the best cardio equipment, all with LCD TVs, Life Fitness and Hammer-Strength equipment, a large variety of free weights, medicine balls, cable pulley stations, clean locker rooms and showers, and a circuit area. They also offer several budget-friendly personal training services including partner and group training programs. The gym has what is called a “quick-start” program that helps members start an exercise program catered to their fitness goals. “The first thing our trainers focus on is making sure our members are excited about coming here and that they are feeling comfortable. We always strive for a relaxing, yet fun and exciting experience with our trainers”, said manager Beau O’Dell. All new members also get a free orientation of the facility with a trainer so they understand how the equipment works.
Whether you are looking to lose some unwanted body fat, get ready for an upcoming wedding or reunion, or to just simply get healthier, 24/7 Freedom Fitness has a variety of programs to help you along the way. The staff at 24/7 Freedom Fitness are so convinced that you will love the atmosphere, that you can even come in for a FREE 3-day trial period to experience it yourself.
