Transform 365 Gym & Fitness, locally owned and operated by Todd and Tennille Baker, is now open in Bethlehem. Located at 9611 NC Hwy. 127, the owners describe Transform 365 as a gym built around community — “Keeping things local and personable, just the way you like it.”
The public is invited to a ribbon cutting on Saturday, January 14 at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate the grand opening of Bethlehem’s newest gym & fitness center. Light refreshments and a tour of the facility will be available that day.
“Todd and I were raised in Alexander County. We know the people here and what they like. We are always receptive to new ideas and business ventures. Opening Transform 365 Gym & Fitness made sense to us because staying fit and healthy is something we are passionate about,” Tennille said. “Providing customers with a convenient, flexible, and safe environment to work out is our goal.”
Transform 365 provides members with the flexibility needed to work out on their own time schedule. With today’s busy lifestyle, the Bakers believe that the major obstacle to staying fit is not motivation, it is convenience. At Transform, members have access to the gym from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. 365 days a year.
For those who prefer expert guidance and encouragement, a Transform 365 personal trainer will help them perform at their peak. Sessions are tailor-made to meet all the factors that affect one’s health and fitness. A personal coach will teach proper technique and form, reducing the possibility of injury while getting maximum benefit. Individual sessions are by appointment and convenient for one’s schedule. Plus, your first session is free!
In addition, members can achieve a year-round tan in the sunless tanning salon. Certified tanning consultants will help you achieve your perfect golden tan rain or shine in state-of-the-art sunbed tanning.
A variety of classes are offered for an energized workout with a committed group of people. Certified instructors in Zumba and strength training lead groups in both beginner and novice classes. Class participants will love the intensity and fun of an energized group workout.
“We appreciate everyone’s support and look forward to seeing folks get their workout on,” Tennille said with a smile. “We’re so excited!”
