Tim Gardner has successfully progressed from incorporating his fitness business in the fall of 1998 as a sublet in a local gym. In May of 2000, with the encouragement of his clients, Gardner resigned from his architectural metals and glass career of 20 years to open a 2,500 square foot personal training studio in Carrollwood Village. Still expanding on its popularity, Gardner realized his vision by opening his current endeavor, a full service health club with all of the fitness amenities met under one roof.

With such an impressive business model, the clean and spacious facility has drawn attention from developers and investors alike to expand further. On a local level, Gardner has been asked to set up facilities in areas such as Westchase, New Tampa, and Brandon. On a larger scale, a business plan has been constructed to franchise in thirty (30) locations; ten (10) in the New York/New Jersey area and twenty (20) in the state of Florida, one being a 40,000 plus square foot facility in a prominent Miami project. Franchising abroad in Asia has also been discussed as an opportunity to expand internationally with a growing interest from foreign investors.
