Liberty Fitness, founded in 2002 by 25-year-old Liberty Harper, is one of the first women’s fitness gym's to address “total body” health with a three-pronged women's only fitness club, weight loss and wellness platform, including a 30-minute circuit training workout featuring six-level, adjustable hydraulic strength training and cardiovascular women's fitness equipment, ACE Certified Personal Trainers, an exclusive online nutritional and women's health education website and wellness amenities such as Sunlight far-infrared saunas and Hydro massage beds. With 61 women's fitness center locations open in 16 states, Liberty Fitness is well-positioned to open 1,500 plus units in the next five years and grab a significant share of the high-growth women’s only fitness club industry. “I have spent my career building successful Liberty Fitness organizations by surrounding myself with talented people and building strong management teams that get results. Liberty Harper is a dynamic and successful woman in her own right. I look forward to working with her and the rest of the fabulous team at Liberty Fitness,” said Burzynski, referring to Mark Harper, one of the nation’s youngest female franchisors and an ACE Certified Personal Trainer since the age of 17, is a perfect fit for Liberty Fitness, offering the ideal mix of strong professional skills, knowledge and experience in franchising and the personal passion of a woman who clearly understands the mindset of the Liberty Fitness target demographic – women aged 30-55 who seek healthier lifestyles through fitness, weight loss and wellness “I’m confident that Linda has just what it takes to move Liberty Fitness ahead by understanding the mindset of both our franchise owners and our customers,” Harper said. “She will be an amazing mentor and a strong leader for everyone in the Liberty Fitness family. She’s determined to meet the goals of the company, as well as her own personal fitness goals. It’s a truly exciting time for our concept.” Richard Cotton, Chief Exercise Physiologist at My Exercise Plan and a consultant to Liberty Fitness on exercise programs and services, said he will serve as a personal coach to Burzynski to help her reach her fitness goals. “Our first step is to do a body composition assessment and discuss the realism of her weight loss goal. Based on that, we will design a Liberty Fitness Diet Club Program that’s appropriate for her,” said Cotton, who until 1999, was with the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the world's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization and a consumer resource for reliable and effective health and fitness information. One of Burzynski’s first orders of business will be oversight of the June 6th, 2005 opening in Georgia of a new prototype for all future Liberty Fitness locations. Occupying 2,200 square feet, with walls of yellow, green and blue signifying fitness, weight loss and wellness, the new Liberty women's fitness club features enhanced technology, including the Polar Body Age System. In an exclusive agreement with Polar USA, Liberty Fitness is the first women’s fitness concept that will offer the cutting edge fitness tool that calculates fitness levels and actual body age, as opposed to biological age. The Polar technology will offer Liberty Fitness members personalized fitness reports with customized Liberty Fitness exercise and nutrition programs. All future Liberty Fitness clubs will also offer Sunlight far-infrared technology saunas and Hydro massage Beds. The new expanded square footage will provide additional space for expanded fitness offerings including Pilates and Yoga Classes, plus stretching and cool down areas. Liberty Fitness members will also be invited to write inspirational thoughts, goals and quotes on the “Liberty Fitness Gratitude Wall,” which will occupy 8’ by 4’ on a wall facing the gym's exercise area separating the reception area from the women's workout facility.
