The training studios have been a part of the two stores for about four years now, and have been quite successful from referrals and word-of-mouth marketing alone. Both stores noted a definite increase in sales, particularly at the Boulder location where there’s an especially thriving fitness market. Accessories have seen the biggest sales spike since the studios opened, as trainers recommend certain strength or fitness accessories for their clients, available for purchase in the next room! Often, as a client completes their training session, they will exit through the store and begin looking through the extensive selection of accessories and fitness equipment; many even going on to purchase a Vision machine. Others may come into the store looking for fitness equipment and be pleasantly surprised to see a personal training studio as part of their visit. "Many times customers will come and say, ‘Oh you have personal trainers available here too?’," said Libbrecht. "It o ffers that whole package of a true commitment to getting and staying healthy and fit. We’re selling professional results."

This year’s Parade is being held at the new Solterra development located at C-470 and Alameda Parkway. The community was envisioned by Carma, a Calgary-based developer with U.S. headquarters in Englewood. Solterra is in the foothills next to Red Rocks Park, and has taken inspiration from regions of France, Italy and Spain to create the feel of a European hillside town.

Carma partnered with Michael Woodley, owner of Woodley Architectural Designs of Highlands Ranch, as a community architect to work with each homebuilder to embrace the characteristics of the foreign villages, with everything from red-tile roofs to intricate stonework to capture a Tuscan culture.

The Home Builders Association of Metro Denver (HBA) created the annual Parade as an educational event for the public, to showcase the latest trends in home building and design.

“This is a great opportunity for HealthStyles Exercise Equipment to showcase the latest in exercise equipment technology from the top manufacturers in the industry, said Dave Sheriff, co-owner of HealthStyles. “We are excited to be a participant in such a quality event that continues to get better every year.”

“The Parade of Homes is a wonderful opportunity for our customers to envision what a comfortable and functional fitness area in their homes could be like. We regularly design exercise rooms for our customers and sit down with them prior to doing a floor plan to discuss what their goals are, what equipment will help them meet their goals, and how those equipment needs can fit in to their available space.”

This student recreation facility at the University of Northern Colorado was looking to upgrade their 12 year old fitness equipment. They wanted the facility to not only reflect 2008, they wanted the equipment to be cutting edge, while meeting the ever changing needs of the student body.

The newly upgraded fitness center features over 20 new pieces of the bold new Nautilus Free Weight series and 18 of the New Nautilus One selectorized weight machines, which features superior mechanics, a revolutionary new weight stack design and method to select your desired weight, unlike anything else on the market.

HealthStyles provided the facility developer with a one-on-one consultation and design support that was customized to meet the clients’ specific needs. Considerations were made for space allocations, user demographics, orientation and quantity of exercise equipment, as well as, the overall presentation and perception of the user as they enter the fitness area.

“Our goal was to maximize their space with cutting edge strength and free weight equipment to give them a newly upgraded look, while still meeting the needs of the changing student poplulation.”, says Mike Billapando, HealthStyles Commercial Project Manager.
