Dear beloved members,
Krista and I are sad to announce the closing of Wilmington Lady Fitness as you know it on Thursday November 19th at 12pm.
We want to thank all you for the support over the years. Krista and I opened our club 20 years ago as newlyweds. Being only 26 years old and no prior business experience we hadn’t any idea of what was to come. Our first year was one of the most rewarding and exciting years of our life. We successfully enrolled over 1200 members in a short period of time. The two of us personally oriented every single member to our gym with a complimentary workout. During these workouts and during the enrollment process we got to know many of our members on a personal level that we are so gracious for. We still have many of our founding members and continue personal relationships with them today. In addition to our relationships with our members, the employees we have had over the years have been a wonderful blessing. I know our employees have made lifetime relationships with us and many of our members as well. Through our journey, Krista and I have learned that the fitness business is much more than teaching people exercise. Our business is about building relationships that change people’s lives.
Over the last few years, it has been a struggle keeping expenses low and revenue up. With the closing of our club because of Covid-19 in March it has been too much of a strain financially to continue. During the 7 months of closure there has been ample time to reflect on our present and future lives. Krista and are blessed to have a wonderful family and the support of friends. The question we both asked is, what now? I’m sure many people are asking this same question in these uncertain times. My answer to this question came from my heart. It is to follow a calling that I know I was meant to answer. It is to continue to build relationships through health and fitness. It is to help people see the wonderful gifts that come from personal achievement, a healthy body and a renewed confidence about themselves. So, although Wilmington Lady Fitness will be gone, Krista and I’s presence will still be here. Upon closing, we will be opening a private facility open to all those who would like to build a relationship and change their lives along with the ones around them. We are excited for this new adventure and invite anyone to join us.
In conclusion, we would like to thank each and every one of you for the support over the years. Over the next week we welcome you to come in and say farewell during our last week in business. We will continue workouts until the final day.
Sincerely,
Krista and Brian Autry
