Jonathan Larkin
Health Club
In a city of 90,000, Jonathan Larkin, owner of multiple health clubs in Boca Raton, says he has had as members and clients over 14,000 residents. At one point, he had 24 stores and would outfit condos, consumers and most area country clubs for their fitness centers. In 2009, it morphed into also operating health clubs. “I’m happy to have impacted Florida and Boca Raton with great health and wellness options,” he says.
His health clubs in east Boca have over 6,000 members who are drawn to his facilities offering amenities that they don’t normally get in their communities and country clubs. As owner of Busy Body Fitness Club and the new Palm Beach Gym in Boca which are within four miles of one another, Larkin has set up a dual access membership. It gives members access to over 60 group classes, 45 trainers and coaches, CrossFit studios and combined 50,000 square feet of fitness equipment between both facilities. “That provides us with the opportunity to have twice as many classes and equipment no matter what your fitness goals are,” he says. Recently, the Palm Beach Gym Roadhouse Cycling studio was launched with the latest generation spin bikes. Between both gyms, Larkin will continue to be the one-stop shop for the community he serves.
Both gyms’ personal trainers work with people ages nine to 90. “We will match you with a trainer that’s right for you, like a dating service,” says Larkin, who also owns Upload Fitness in Fort Lauderdale. “We’ll connect you with someone who can encourage, motivate and push you to accomplish your goals.” You can even purchase a training package that includes both gym memberships for free.
Larkin gets satisfaction from providing the tools people need for optimal health. Exercise machines are constantly upgraded or replaced with state-of-the-art equipment. Fitness classes are continually being added, including yoga, Pilates, Zumba, spin, high-intensity interval training, BODYPUMP, Sculpt, Silver Sneaker classes and more. The gym offers complimentary fitness assessments and body composition analysis and towel service.
