24 <br /> February 12, 2001 <br /> Dear Planning Commissioner: <br /> Please allow me to impress upon you how serious I am.in presenting a <br /> "wonderful service" for the people of St. Anthony. I have wanted a Fitness <br /> Center in the neighborhood since the Fitness Center at Apache closed back <br /> in the 80's. There is not a fitness center of good substance within reasonable <br /> distance. By way of a marketing study, I found that there are a good number <br /> of people in the area who have the same feeling as I do. They want <br /> convenience. These people overwhelmingly believe St. Anthony Village <br /> Shopping Center would be a convenient location and would like to see it <br /> open there. <br /> I want to provide a center that will cater to the variety in population that we <br /> have in this area. I see the needs of seniors (my parents included) to engage <br /> themselves in strength conditioning to maintain viability into their elderly <br /> years and I have the desire to maintain an environment that will welcome <br /> people of all ages and "walks of life". I do not want this club to be a <br /> "Muscle-head Gym". and I will be working actively to maintain the <br /> • appropriate environment. <br /> In determining a name for the center, I have struggled with how to present <br /> the image I want to convey while staying clear of a "Gym" or "Bally's" <br /> theme. I feel very good about what we have created: <br /> f RO% OZUSSRUA D <br /> E 641� Y.4. Q"4F14 1A, <br /> The emphasis will be on providing the right package of amenities, <br /> conveniently. The focus will be to help people improve themselves <br /> physically so they may enjoy life more fully. I will be providing 80+ pieces <br /> of equipment, a majority of which will be geared to be user-friendly for <br /> women and seniors. Group fitness will be provided to the variety that the <br /> membership demands and a child care area children will look forward to <br /> going to. Locker rooms will be on the plush side of comfortable with day- <br /> use lockers, a towel service, and a steam-room, sauna, and sun-bed in each. <br /> Personal training will be provided for proper guidance and therapeutic <br /> • <br />
