experience and expertise make him one of the most sought out performance coaches.
Melissa Kleinber�
Melissa is an exercise professional with over 6 years of experience in personal training and group fitness
coaching. She graduated from the University of Georgia in May of 2017 with a bachelors degree in
Health and Physical Education. Her passion for learning about the human body and exercise lead her to
enroll in the RTS mastery program. This prestigious program offers a unique opportunity for her to
understand the body on an entire different level integrating orthopedics and motor learning with the
physics of resistance application along with the skills of client/patient education.
Melissa has been able to work with clients and athletes of all ages, interests and skill levels. She started
her coaching career at headhunters crossfit and after two years she went on to do personal training and
group fitness at Omni/Athens health and fitness while attending UGA. After graduating she continued
her training and coaching as a sports performance coach in Atlanta. Melissa also has experience in gym
management and sales as well as, event planning and marketing.
Chris and Melissa have used their past experiences in the fitness industry to create an elevated
approach to group fitness. APX sports and fitness is a group fitness gym that provides members with an
experience they have not received at any other gym. APX gives them a full program with total body
strength training, speed and agility training and endurance training. Not only do we understand how
important it is to program classes with safe and effective exercises for all members, we understand the
importance of providing these members with a community. We want APX to be a space where members
can grow both physically and mentally.
APX SPORTS AND FITNESS CONCEPT
APX Sports and Fitness is a group fitness and personal training mid -size facility. The gym will
have 30 yards of turf and rubber flooring installed by PIAE. The turf will be used for many different
strength training exercises with dumbbells, sleds, and medicine balls, as well as, speed and agility
exercises with hurdles, plyo boxes, a woodway curve, skiiergs, airdyne bikes and rower. We will have a
Rogue rig that consists of 6 total squat racks with barbells, bumper plates, resistance bands, benches
and more. We also have a personal training area with cybex equipment including a lat pull down, seated
and laying leg curl, leg extension, seated row, shoulder press, hip abduction and hip adduction and glute
kickback machine.
Our anticipated hours of operation will be from 5:00am-8:OOpm. We will be running classes at
the times shown on the schedule in the business plan and we will have some personal training sessions
scheduled in between those class times. The number of workers/employees on site will vary as our gym
grows. We (Chris and Melissa) will be the only two employees for the first months of opening a gym. We
will be adding two to three more employees as soon as we are settled in and the classes are running
smoothly. We will be hiring a part time personal trainer and front desk secretary first. As we grow we
will be able to hire a massage therapist, yoga instructor and physical therapist.
Due to the size of our facility and the number of classes we will be running a day, the number of
expected customers/users per class will be 20 clients. This number will vary depending on the popularity
of class times. Due to the number of parking spots, we will be capping the number of members per class
if needed. We will be training high school and college athletes for personal and team training sessions.
For our group fitness classes, age ranges can vary from 15 to around 60 years old. Any member under
the age of 18 will have to have a legal guardian sign off on a waiver.

SPORTS & FITNESS
Our main objective is to impact the well being of the general public to drastically improve
their physical fitness thereby improving personal image, self confidence, and body fat
percentage. Doing this will reduce their reliance on prescription medication, lowering annual
healthcare costs,improving life expectancy while also reducing their chances of developing
alzheimers, heart disease and diabetes. Our understanding of anatomy and biomechanics
allows us to break down every exercise we use in our programs for each member that walks
in our doors. We know that every member has different skill levels, body structure, strengths
and weaknesses that are usually not addressed or even considered in most group fitness
gyms. This allows us to provide the safest, most beneficial environment for our clients. Our
understanding of the fitness industry has shown us that our customers need proper
motivation, accountability and a strong fitness community) This allows them to have the best
possible experience in our facility and continually brings them back to keep progressing and
reading their new fitness goals.
- 100 members in the first year
- Partnerships with 3 local schools and 5 neighboring businesses
- Average 5-10 new sign-ups per month

- Provide members with a staffed Physical Therapist
- Utilize upstairs room for on site yoga classes
We are a mid -sized fitness facility that caters to all interests, sizes, ages, genders and
physical abilities. We understand that every member comes with their own goals and needs
when it comes to health and fitness. We bring a unique approach to the group fitness
industry that bridges the gap between endurance training and traditional strength and
conditioning training. Research supports the premise that humans need both cardiovascular
endurance training and strength training to reach optimal health and wellness. The Center
for Disease Control has published guidelines for the activity levels in adults that includes
300 minutes of moderate intensity or 150 minutes a week of vigorous intensity aerobic
training and three or more days a week of moderate or high intensity strength training
involving all major muscle groups. We also understand that a 50 year old members body is
different than a 20 year olds. Understanding joint mechanics provides us with the knowledge
to modify and manipulate exercises for every member based on what their body has and
allows. APX will provide an individualized training program that allows our members to
continuously progress towards their optimal health and fitness goals in a positive and
motivating group fitness environment.
The biggest issue we see in the fitness industry is the lack of accountability. We believe that
lack of accountability is NOT from the clients, it is the responsibility of the trainer. We believe
first and foremost in holding ourselves accountable for understanding the fitness and
performance goals of each and every client. We want to be the first gym to provide the tools
to truly hold our member accountable for the goals they set wether they record personal
bests in their personal folders or simply motivating them with daily/weekly check ins. Not
only will we provide the physical environment, equipment and programs to do so, we will
provide the knowledge, motivation and support they need. The fitness industry sells an
intangible product. As professional trainers, we must provide our members with the
necessities to obtain physical and mental results. Most big gyms rent space to their
members, we provide training and that means better results.

Project utline
The 2017 National Health Interview Survey published data for the United States stating that
53.1% of adults 18 and older met the aerobic physical activity guidelines encouraged by the
CDC and 23.5% met the guidelines for aerobic and muscle strengthening. Our concept is
unlike anything that is offered by our competitors. Our knowledge of the market shows that
we bring to the table what others places simply are not doing. APX will be a one stop shop
for our members overall fitness as well as their sports performance. Bringing a weekly
regimen to people will provide them constant growth as they will prevent plateaus. With a
vast variety of classes we bring on a weekly basis we can guarantee that no class will ever
be duplicated or repeated. We will hire the highest quality trainers with certifications like
RTS (Resistance Training Specialist) and MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques). We want our
clients to be able to understand the body on a biomechanical level to ensure that our
customers are getting the best possible training without the negative effects that can come
from a lack of knowledge.
Concept
APX Sports and Fitness will offer group fitness, personal training, muscle activation therapy,
and physical therapy. We will program endurance and strength training group fitness classes
6 days a week (running 8-10 classes a day) and one open gym day.
We want to provide a 7500 square foot training facility that offers group fitness classes,
personal training, and muscle activation therapy. The training facility will have about 3,000
square feet of turf and about 2,500 square feet of rubber flooring. The additional office
space allows for the potential growth of APX through specialized services including Muscle
Activation Therapy, physical therapy, as well as, yoga/pilates. We also have the option to
provide other services such as massage therapy, and chiropractic care. Having these
services allows us to provide a one stop shop for our members in terms of overall health and
fitness.
The size of this location allows us to run a 50-60 person group fitness class, store
equipment, and provide additional services to our members.
