History of Fit Happens

Fit Happens Personal Training & Fitness Studio has been a mainstay in the community for over 8 years, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff to assist its members in attaining personal health and fitness goals. Through the years it has grown and evolved to fit the needs of the community it serves.

It started out as a small 2,100 square foot Personal Training Studio on Route 30A in Johnstown. Before long, owner Michael Barker saw the value in expanding to a full gym rather than just a training studio, adding more equipment and an aerobics program. In 3 years time they were operating in a 6,800 square foot facility.

Today Fit Happens occupies a 14,600 square foot facility located in Gloversville, NY. In additional to all the previous features, it now includes tanning, a spinning room, 4 separate workout areas, a cardio theater, half basketball court and an unparalleled aerobic program with over 200 classes a month.

October 2009 marked the merge of Fit Happens with the Jewish Community Center, providing members free unlimited access to the heated pool, sauna and full-sized gym.

From humble beginnings to its present state-of-the-art facility , Fit Happens has emerged as a full-range fitness center accommodating a growing number of people with diverse interests and needs.
