At Atlantic Fitness Centre, “it’s just one big family,” says manager Stacey Lund. When clients visit, “they’re called by name.” Co-owner Chris MacPhee feels similarly. “Our club has a small-town, family atmosphere that the members and staff have truly embraced,“ he says. Prince Edward Island residents have responded with enthusiasm to Atlantic Fitness Centre’s neighbourly atmosphere. The PEI-founded brand, which comprises two thriving locations on Garfield Street and Kent Street, has been an Island fitness mainstay for almost 25 years. With two clubs in the Charlottetown area, Atlantic Fitness members can alternate on a daily basis to suit their convenience. Those who choose the downtown facility will experience a fresh corporate environment, under the guidance of manager Monique D’Amour. Monique brings over 30 years of customer service-based fitness industry experience, as well as a positive Island attitude, that fits nicely with the close-knit downtown clientele. Atlantic Fitness Centre’s exceptional employees have helped the branch strengthen its “family atmosphere.” Lund praises the high quality of Atlantic Fitness Centre’s customer service. Some staff members, she and co-owner David Edgett point out, have been with the club for upwards of two decades. In fact, MacPhee echoes, “we have some people who have been with us for 24 years.” MacPhee’s ability to praise staff members by name for specific professional strengths speaks to Atlantic Fitness Centre’s staff camaraderie. He’s clearly aware that, when it comes to Islanders’ workouts, the Atlantic Fitness Centre team’s loyalty and knowledge are an exceptional resource.
“Over the past 24 years,” he explains, “it’s been our pleasure and our goal to provide top-notch customer service to the people we’ve grown to know so well... our fellow Islanders.” PEI’s relationship with physical fitness has evolved over the years, says MacPhee, who has observed Islanders’ awareness of--and enthusiasm for--fitness increase. “People are paying more attention to their physical fitness.” Those signing up at Atlantic Fitness Centre for the first time will find that its competitive pricing reflects the club’s respect for its family of patrons. MacPhee emphasizes that members and guests, including newcomers, will feel comfortable in the workout environment. “At AFC, we are fortunate to work with members of every size, shape, and age,” says MacPhee. “We are proud to say no AFC member ever feels left behind.” All Atlantic Fitness members have access to club amenities, including scheduled fitness classes. Plus, members receive a perk that’s hard to beat--complimentary personal training. (MacPhee himself serves on the club’s roster of personal trainers.) Whether workouts are a new routine or an unbreakable habit, such one-on-one time with a fitness expert is often key.
