THANK YOU
by the continued support of loyal Aerofit customers. Isham has worked hard to make his business the most complete exercise and recreational facilities in the area. Aerofit offers swimming pools, tennis courts, racquetball, basketball and indoor track in addition to their children’s fitness programs. Isham believes that diverse offerings for people of all ages and his friendly employees are the key to Aerofit’s success. “We have a wider spectrum of services for children all the way up to seniors,” Isham said. “A lot of other gyms cater to the college-age crowd.” Another area of growth for Aerofit has been the personal training services. Aerofit has focused on hiring the best, most qualified trainers available. By focusing on a wider customer base, Aerofit is able to create a more relaxed environment where people are not intimidated to come exercise. Isham said that many people who do not feel they are in shape are afraid to come to the gym where everyone else is more athletic. They often feel they have to get in shape before they join a gym, something Isham said is not the case at Aerofit. “We want people to be comfortable here,” Isham said. “Even if someone is overweight, they can be comfortable coming to our pool in a swimsuit and

fitness center isn’t just for the workout warriors and bodybuilders. A good fitness center offers something for the entire family, and that has been Aerofit’s approach. Their family-friendly approach and affordable prices have helped them win the 2011 Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Workout/ Exercise Facility.” Aerofit was established in 1984 to serve as a family recreation center. Co-Owner Larry Isham said that since the Bryan/College Station community does not have a YMCA, Aerofit was able to immediately fill a void in family fitness opportunities. In 1996, Aerofit expanded with the purchase of the Royal Oaks Racquet Club, and in April of 2011 Aerofit acquired the Anytime Fitness Centers, giving their customers even more workout options with four convenient locations. The growth isn’t finished yet, either. In the Fall of 2012, Aerofit is scheduled to open its fifth facility with a partnership with the College Station Medical Center. The planned wellness facility will house both fitness and physical therapy, and orthopedic services. “We’ve been really blessed in this last two years with some pretty good growth,” Isham said. That growth has been made possible
