Foothill Gym in Monrovia has been a fixture in the local community since 1987. For the last few years I've split my personal training business between Foothill and a different, corporately-owned gym, as well as some in-home clientele. Over time I've come to appreciate Foothill Gym and it's staff more than ever. My clients enjoy the laid-back atmosphere among the hardcore training.
On June 1st, 2011 I made the big move and dropped the corporation-owned gym in favor of using the great Foothill Gym as the only place that I train in-the-gym clientele! It's been a great decision, and the best part about it is that I go to work each day looking forward to spending time around the members and staff. Wow! I really enjoy my job, and it really doesn't seem like work when you are around such fun, positive people.
Foothill Gym has become it's most successful over the last 25 years due to one reason (person), and he's pictured below;
Brian & Jennifer Whelan
Brian is tireless in his efforts to bring the best possible product to his members. This summer he started a calculated remodel of the gym wherein he is managing a dozen or so projects being done simultaneously...talk about change! Every minute of this man's day is consumed with every aspect of the Foothill Gym remodel and the members feedback.
The best aspect of Brian's remodel is that he's taken into consideration the health and well-being of his members by doing most of the work while the gym is closed in the middle of the night. Of course, this costs more but it's appreciated by everyone. Every gym I have ever been in simply painted or did their demo while the members were right there in the middle of their workout. On any given day you can find him on the premises for 9-12 hours ready and available for all members and guests.
Of course, Brian also put together a great staff, starting with General Manager Brenda Winner. Enough can't be said about Brenda, who also works to make sure everyone is satisfied with their Foothill Gym experience. She has become family to my own.
The rest of the staff are friendly and courteous, making all feel welcome.
Amenities include weights, weight training equipment, stretch area, aerobic equipment, childcare, spinning, yoga, Bokwa, Zumba, step classes, plenty of free parking, and of course, the best independent personal trainers!
