A One-of-a-Kind Fitness Center’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

Fairmont Fitness has managed to build the kind of reputation any business owner would envy, and to learn a little more about that reputation and this one-of-a-kind business, we sat down with Fitness Instructor, Shanna Miller.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Fairmont Fitness unique compared to the many other fitness centers in West Virginia. Shanna told us:

“The small, family atmosphere. We have something for everybody. If you like CrossFit, aerobics, group fitness, Zumba, water aerobics — we have something for everybody, whatever your fitness level is. There’s no way we could turn anybody away. We have something for everybody in the family.”

Shanna went on to say:

“We’re clean. I can’t stress that enough. We’ve been voted the best pool in Marion County, and every single one of our members say that we’re the cleanest and most beautiful. It’s just a nice, aesthetically beautiful looking gym.”

When we asked what the secret is to such a solid online reputation at Fairmont Fitness, Shanna pointed to the fact that they do a little bit of everything and have something for everyone. She added:

“We’re like a family. It’s not a commercial, big box gym. If you join, you’re one of the family. We know our members by name. We build a rapport with them.”

Making the World a Better Place by Giving Back

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Fairmont Fitness and how they work to make the world a better place. Shanna told us about the many ways they give back to their community:

“We have tons of fundraisers. We support the Marion County Animal Shelter. We have an Aerobicsathon twice a year for HOPE (a domestic violence center). We are always willing to offer donations to schools and activities that are doing fundraisers. We like to help the youth and the younger generations.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Fairmont Fitness has grown through Instagram and Facebook, word of mouth and by offering their members three-day passes to hand out to their friends and family. They also get the word out through t-shirts.

It’s clear that Shanna knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Get to know your customers. Get to know what they want. Take two minutes out of your day to get to know your people because they’re your livelihood. If you don’t know your clientele, you’re in trouble.”
