Today we’d like to introduce you to Nanci Rose.

Nanci, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Hi, I’m Coach Nanci. I got my start in the fitness industry teaching group fitness in an aerobics studio in 1990 – a whole 30 years ago this year! I learned at such a young age that fitness is important in your life. My dad use to take me to the YMCA and showed me how to play racketball in my senior year of high school. He was also into taking vitamins and supplements. My mother was on the other end of the spectrum. She was a heavy smoker, never stepped foot into a gym or held a dumbbell. She as also a nurse but took care of everyone else except for herself.

I’ve been certified as a coach and nutritionist for many years now and have always wanted to take that leap from being an independent trainer to gym owner. It was a scary leap, though. It wasn’t until my mother passed away in 2018 at the age of 69 that I took that leap. I wanted to help her so much with her health but she wouldn’t listen to me. She lived in Philadelphia and I lived here in Texas (since 1988). I feel like if I was living there, I could have helped her with her health.

Now that I have opened my own gym, “Pro-Fit 24 – Transformation Headquarters,” I can help people that don’t know what to do or where to begin changing their lifestyle. I opened Pro Fit 24 Gym in my moms honor and I am here to help anyone who needs it. I’m in the process of building a team of Transformation Coaches that have the same drive and goals as I do – to help those who need complete lifestyle changes. I have also created a family-like atmosphere and make sure that everyone feels welcomed no matter what stage of their fitness journey they’re at.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
No! Its been quite hard actually. A lot of people said I would fail and that the area doesn’t need another small independent gym. I even moved into a retail space that had a gym in it that failed. The odds were definitely against me but I felt it was something I had to do and that my mom was helping me from Heaven. Last year was a learning experience. This year started off good then that pandemic hit so that was a very hard blow to come out of. Thank goodness my landlord is working with me so I can keep the doors open and keep people focused on their health and fitness goals. I have seen so many businesses go under the past six months and I’ve been very fortunate to have a landlord that has been helping me keep the dream alive. A lot of people have been scared to go back into a gym however focusing on health is what is going to keep peoples immune systems strong in the long run.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Pro Fit 24 Gym – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Pro Fit 24 Gym is actually part of the Pro Fit brand I created five years ago. The Personal Training portion of my business is known as Pro Fit Coaching Systems and the boot camp program is called Camp Pro Fit. When I finally opened my own facility is made perfect sense to name it Pro Fit 24. The 24 is because its open 24 hours. Many nurses, doctors and servicemen have odd hours and I wanted to have a place anyone can come to no matter what time of day or night it is so they can fit fitness into their schedule. Pro Fit 24 Coaches specialize in changing peoples lifestyles for the better. That’s why we’re known as a Transformation Headquarters. We also do this by challenging people with periodic Challenges.

I’m very proud of helping people change their bad habits, adapt good habits, gain their health back, and get off medication. Every single client we work with makes me so proud. What sets my gym apart from others is the simple fact of what we “do” and how we “feel”. Its not just a “gym”. Its a place to come to to get healthier, to make improvements, to have that accountability and have people there for you throughout your transformation. New franchise gyms with shiny new equipment are opening all over but they lack one thing we have… a heart. We’re not in the gym business to get rich. We’re here to follow our passion and dream and that is to help change peoples lives.

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
The future is always seeing many many people live long and healthy lives. To do that the Camp Pro Fit boot camp program will be expanding to include independent affiliate coaches. We are in the process to launch that program by Dec/Jan. This will mean the Camp Pro Fit boot camp brand will branch out to many other gyms and outdoor venues via independent personal trainers and boot camp instructors to help thousands of people get the help they need with their health.

Pricing:

  • Camp Pro Fit boot camp unlimited classes and gym access varies from $85 – $155/month
  • 24/7 gym access is as low as $20/month with no contract.
  • Free 5 Day Trials include gym access and unlimited boot camp classes
