Precision Fitness gives ’07 running start


Scott Adamson, 45, works out his arms at Precision Fitness Center in Bonita Springs. Adamson is from Toronto but visits the Naples area.

The first couple of months in a new year usher in resolutions about getting fit, leading a healthy lifestyle or losing weight.

That’s where Precision Fitness Center in Bonita Springs wants to offer patrons a chance to stick with their goals in a friendly and welcoming environment.

“We offer a wide variety of classes for all ages and we have a very non-intimidating atmosphere,” said Chris Luckenbill, general manager.

Precision Fitness offers a combination of free weights, hammer strength training and cardio machines that give gym buffs and newbies everything in one place.

“We offer personalized service and our equipment is state-of-the art,” said Luckenbill about the gym that has been in Bonita Springs for five years. “There is something for everyone to try and you won’t have big muscular guys working out only. There is a good mix of people.”

Precision Fitness members have access to the latest in fitness equipment because the gym sells equipment in its retail store, which is connected to the gym.

Luckenbill said the equipment can be installed commercially or in homes. “We sell everything from the machines to the cushioned padding if people want it.”

Having the added benefit of new machinery will help many reach their fitness goals, but Precision Fitness also offers personal trainers for those needing an extra boost.

“Personal trainers help those that need encouragement or want to learn new ways to work out their bodies,” said Ryan Timmerman, a personal trainer at Precision Fitness.

Timmerman is a contracted trainer with the gym but says it’s one of the best around.

It allows him to work closely with his clients to get them to achieve their fitness goals.

“It’s a good gym for people to try it because it’s clean and everybody is very friendly,” he said.

Having a friendly environment is important to Luckenbill because it makes people want to come back.

“We have clientele of all ages and types and they feel comfortable here so they come back,” said Luckenbill.

Precision has about 1,000 members.

The gym also offers fitness class for seniors or classes for those with a need for more movement.

“We have a class for every day of the week like low impact for seniors and the hot new trend of Zumba,” Luckenbill said. “We give personalized service and that’s what our members want.”
