Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We've had the tennis segment open for 10 years and the fitness segment for four years.
What is your primary product or service?
In tennis terms, we offer the highest level of instruction for all levels and varied court surfaces: 3 outdoor lighted hard courts and 5 indoor clay courts. For fitness, we have a 3,400 sq.ft. area used for modern Life Fitness cardio and strength building equipment. Membership includes exercise classes and personal trainers are available for personal attention.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have been a tennis professional my whole life and have a driving passion to share with other tennis enthusiasts. After working for several other facilities, I decided that it was time to do this for myself!
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
What seperates us from other tennis clubs is our instructional program. We produce most of the top rated juniors in this area. Our fitness club is a family-oriented facility where our members feel like they are working out at home...no intimidation from "grunters" or body-builders. We promote a healthy life style.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have this one facility with no expansion plans in the near future.
