Transforming lives & Building our community

BIRTH OF A NATION

After being introduced (20 years ago) by a mutual friend Marc and Donovan realized they had similar visions of creating a community that helped people achieve their fitness goals. And so they opened their first gym. People were joining and it was great, but they were quite surprised by what they discovered. Members showing up everyday, getting on the exact same machine, doing the exact same things, and looking the exact same after a full year!

The “big-box gym” format was not working for Marc and Donovan, or their members. What WAS working were the group fitness classes. These classes were so popular that they were sold out every week, with a page-long waiting list. Marc’s boxing class was the most popular. His classes were energetic, exciting, and LOVED. What’s more, members were achieving greater success in their fitness goals.

Marc and Donovan knew that they had to model their next club with an emphasis on group fitness. And so… Fitness NATION was born (affectionately referred to as THE NATION). Along with Roger (member turned trainer turned owner) they opened Fitness NATION, a group exercise focused facility that quickly grew a loyal following. Classes were packed and they knew they had something special.

But it didn’t stop there. Years prior, Marc created the Lebert EQualizer®, what is now an iconic piece of fitness equipment used world wide. This grew into Lebert Fitness, and the NATION became the training ground for Lebert Fitness products. In 2020, Lebert Fitness and Fitness NATION took the next logical step and merged to become Lebert Fitness NATION.

Lebert Fitness NATION continues to grow, transform lives and build our community one EQ push up at a time!
