FAIRFIELD, CT — The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce that their new Chamber member, ASAP Training, held their ribbon cutting on May 16, 2025.

A little overview of the company’s business, in question format:

1. What made you open your business in the Town of Fairfield?

ASAP Training chose to establish its flagship facility at 2181 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield to serve a community with deep athletic roots, a strong sense of wellness, and a growing demand for high-level training. Fairfield County is home to competitive athletes of all ages — from middle school standouts to college-bound players and aspiring pros — making it an ideal location for a performance center built on the principles of Athleticism, Speed, Agility, and Power.

This central location allows ASAP to partner directly with local schools and teams, support athletes through return-to-play protocols, and provide expert-led programming where they live and compete. At the same time, Fairfield’s vibrant, health-conscious community makes it the perfect place to offer small group adult personal training — helping parents, professionals, and weekend warriors build strength, prevent injury, and feel confident in their bodies.

From the dedicated athlete to the adult who still wants to train like one, ASAP proudly serves the full spectrum of human performance.
