Twenty-four hours a day, White House has a new place for fitness since Just Be Fit opened at 2910C Highway 31W beside Al's in mid-December. The 7,000 square foot gym has seen a remarkable response so far. “We always thought there was a need here, and I guess we just filled the need,” co-owner Don Bean said of the facility's instant popularity. “People are thanking us for opening this,” his wife, Donna, expressed in amazement. “It makes us feel really good that it's been accepted so well.”
The couple spent months researching fitness centers in several states and used the results to fashion the ideal gym for White House. With its emphasis on the very latest in technology and equipment, Just Be Fit has become a top choice for people of a wide range of fitness levels in the community. Inside, members have access to locker rooms with showers, tanning beds, Matrix treadmills, Legend Fitness free weights and Hoist circuit equipment. Each machine in the Hoist line isolates a specific area or body part and is designed to be “unique in its motion,” according to Don. That motion makes the line well-suited and comfortable for all fitness levels.
Unlike many fitness centers, the age range for memberships starts at thirteen, a fact that was important to the Beans. “We wanted to create an atmosphere that is family friendly for people who just want to be fit,” Don explained. So far, that atmosphere has drawn what Don referred to as a “mix of people” including experienced exercisers as well as many who have never before joined a gym.
In addition to all of the fitness equipment, Just Be Fit offers several classes. Offerings so far have included ab sculpting, step aerobics, boot camp and Zoomba; however, the Beans are always looking for new ideas. “We are still experimenting to see what the members want,” Don noted. All of the classes are led by certified instructors, and a personal trainer, Jenny Owensby, is available to members as well.
Just Be Fit is staffed Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., and the facility is accessible to members around the clock. With its camera system, key card access, well-placed lighting and frequent police patrols, those working out at any hour can be assured that the center is a secure environment. It is also one that is affordable with individual memberships priced at $29.99 and family memberships set at just $10.00 more. Guest passes are available for only $8.00 for those who want a trial run before making a nine , twelve or eighteen month commitment. Call 672-2922 or stop by for more information, and let Just Be Fit facilitate your fitness goals.
