When Chris Gendusa started Future Fitness in 1990, he set out on a mission to help people approach exercise and wellness in a different way. Instead of joining a crowded gym and having to figure out how to use equipment on their own, Gendusa wanted to make sure his clients had personalized guidance and a tailored plan for improving all aspects of their health.

That strategy has worked well for Gendusa—and his clients. Over the past three decades, he has built a one stop shop for wellness. While Future Fitness’ focus is on personal training, clients also can take advantage of private yoga and pilates instruction, massage therapy, aesthetics services and physical therapy, all under the same roof.
Gendusa is a firm believer in the benefits of individualized training, and Future Fitness provides it in a comfortable, resort-style atmosphere. After an initial consultation, clients are paired with one of the facility’s dozen trainers, who can help reach a variety of fitness goals—whether it’s recovering from an injury or just getting in shape.
