In just two and half years,
Tina Brookhouse Fitness has done a lot of growing. The Williamston business is now announcing their third move to a larger location.
“Basically, we were just getting crowded out of the old place,” says owner Tina Brookhouse. “I have a group cycling class, which is really popular, and I needed to get some more bikes, but had no where to put them.”
Brookhouse’s new 1,500 square foot facility is allowing for not only the growth of the cycling class, but also add a pilates class, expand her Zumba classes and offer her four fitness instructors the opportunity to teach more classes.
“There just wasn’t a lot of fitness opportunities here before,” she says. “Even now that I’m a block closer to downtown, people are saying, ‘Williamston has a fitness studio?’”
Her move to a more highly visible downtown location certainly did attract more local attention. She opened her new location in January and has already witnessed a 50 percent increase in business.
Brookhouse, 48 is a
Williamston resident who became an advocate for fitness when she herself lost 60 pounds. Her experience led her to place an emphasis on exercise beginners.
“I really try to push to work with beginners and people who are intimidated to go to a normal gym,” she says. “But we also appeal to the fitness buffs.”
Tina Brookhouse Fitness is now located at 162 W Grand River in Williamston.
