Local Businesses form the Easley Fitness Coalition!

Four locally owned health and fitness organizations in Easley have joined forces to offer workout diversity to the Easley community by creating the Easley Fitness Coalition.

Crossfit Easley, Integrative Yoga Therapy, 9Round Fitness & Kickboxing and The Performing Arts Centre now offer an Easley Fitness Coalition Card to offer discounted services at these participating facilities.

Christy McKean of 9Round Fitness and Coalition founder says that she wanted to form this coalition for two reasons. The first was to prove that there are new and exciting ways to get fit rather than a big traditional gym where no one knows your name. Her second reason was to bring small business owners together in an effort to show the community that even though these are competing businesses, they have the community’s health and best interest in mind. McKean reminds us that small businesses can succeed if people realize we are truly here to help, not just to make a quick buck.

Β Discount cards can be purchased at any participating business location or online at www.integrativeyogatherapysc.com. A discount card costs $25 and offers the cardholder $5 classes for new students at each location throughout 2014. Some restrictions apply. In many cases, that is half-off every session!

Jordan Hudson of Crossfit Easley wants to offer something special to the community. He states that each business owner is an expert in his or her respective area of health and wellness, devoting their life to offering the best their field has to offer, and that each is truly passionate about what they bring to the community.

Linda Patterson of Integrative Yoga Therapy says that Coalition business owners recognize the importance of strength training, cardiovascular work, flexibility and mindfulness in a well-rounded fitness plan. To offer local access to each of these components by thoroughly trained professionals, in fun and unique ways at a discount price is a winning combination.
