15 Years & Counting
A few days ago, Kennedy Fitness celebrated 15 years in business! That’s an accomplishment that we’re proud of - and one that had several chances to NOT happen. From the Great Recession to COVID, at times, it’s seemed as if the world was conspiring against small business (and don’t even get me started on various government-inflicted legislation and tax policies). But we’ve managed to survive, grow, hire some WONDERFUL trainers, and help some AMAZING clients!
Of course, Kristin and I both started as trainers before that, so while Kennedy Fitness is celebrating its 15th anniversary - we’ve actually been training professionally around the metro for 17 and 18 years already. I mention this, because some of you actually pre-date Kennedy Fitness as clients - and we simply CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for sticking with us for all these years! You’re business, friendship, and loyalty are appreciated more than you may know.
So, even as this weekend’s Junk Stock leads into Halloween, our hearts and minds are already giving thanks - not for turkey and potatoes - but for YOU. Thank you to all of you, who are reading this. We look forward to celebrating our 20th and 25th with you someday as well!
Yours in health,
Robert M. Kennedy
President, CEO
We think you’re the best! If the feeling is mutual, please tell the world!
