 About Focus on Fitness 
Focus on Fitness was founded and established by Louise Boland in 1981. Louise took her hobby of running and turned it into a business. Her love for fitness instilled in her the desire to help others become physically fit.She first operated her business by teaching aerobics classes in church basements and school gymnasiums. Along with the demand for her to teach more classes, came the desire to expand. Louise opened her first “studio” (health club) in Ashland in 1987 and expanded it in 1990. Always remaining state of the art, Focus on Fitness was the first club in the area to have a wooden floor for its group fitness classes, followed by the 30 minute workout called PACE (today this is the equipment that all the new female only clubs are featuring), and in 1994 Focus on Fitness was the second club in Massachusetts to offer a Spinning program (an indoor cycling group fitness class). Focus on Fitness took the area by storm and was featured as Metro West’s best health club many times in the upcoming years. In 1999, Focus on Fitness moved and merged with The Fitness Company located in Framingham. The Fitness Company’s corporate office was in New Jersey and the corporation owned, managed and partnered with over 70 health clubs along the east coast. In November of 2003, Louise Boland ended the partnership and became the sole proprietor and Focus on Fitness was born again. Now located in a 15,000 square foot facility, Louise continues to bring the best in health and fitness to her members and the Metro West area. Striving to remain cutting edge in the industry, Louise continues to offer members the latest in programming and equipment. After transitioning to private ownership, new state of the art Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, and strength training circuit were purchased. The club was painted and newly carpeted branding it with its new red, black and white colors. Today, Focus on Fitness is able to offer programs that meet the fitness needs of all individuals at different levels of fitness in an exceptionally clean and friendly environment that is comfortable and not intimidating with a highly professional staff that greets you by name. Come and experience the difference and reap the rewards of becoming a healthier, happier you. |
