Today we’d like to introduce you to Renvil Doman.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I started my training career at both Bally’s (Brighton, MA) and Boston Sports club (central sq.) Cambridge, Main 2004. From there I went on to Sports club L/A in Boston where the grass was actually greener on the other side of the fence. My training career really took off at this club! I became trainer of the year three consecutive years a year after I started at this club. Being trainer of the year ment I trained the most clients and sold the most sessions 3 years consecutively! I decided to move on with my career from this club after a company change which I was not a fan of. The thought of owning my own studio was in site. From several hours of in home training in the city and out in suburbs I knew the possibility of starting my own fitness business was imminent! That dream came alive in 2010 when I bought my first business real estate at 57 Phillips st, Boston, MA!
I knew the sky was the limit from there on! There was no slowing me down from that point on. The fitness business is a rescue and challenging business. To be successful require a lot of hard working hours! That for me is a given! I love to work and work very hard and smart at what I do!
With that strategy I knew it would be long before I’d be opening my second studio! As mentioned earlier! The sky is the limit! With hard working hours and working smart there are endless possibilities! Thanks to many wonderful and positive people I’ve surrounded myself with. The future REPS FITNESS STUDIO & BEACON HILL YOGA is on a very successful growth path!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Some of the struggles along the way was getting all the permitting required to opening my business. The process is obviously long and overall frustrating. However, I have a very strong passion for what I do which help me proceed regardless of all these obstacles!
Please tell us about REPS FITNESS STUDIO & BEACON HILL YOGA.
REPS FITNESS STUDIO AND BEACON HILL YOGA are community based studios. We are all about getting people from all walks of life to improve their health and wellbeing. We specialize in personal training, group cycling classes and yoga. We are known at the fitness studio to invite people in that find exercising very daunting and intimidating to having it be their daily routine after trying our classes or doing a private training session with me. At the yoga studio -Beacon Hill Yoga- people find the studio to be the perfect place to improve their practice because of the small classes at the attentiveness of teacher/ student interaction. I’m very proud that my studios are seen as the place where people come to maximize their time in an hour of working out! I’m also proud that people stick to a good workout regimen after visiting my studios. Many great friendships and relationships have started at my studios. We strive to make sure our clients are well attended to when they visit our studios. We are a customer’s service business and we stand by that 100%. It is very hard to uphold a strong customer service business but it is something myself and everyone that work at the studios will not lose sight of!
That sets us apart from others!
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Delegating! I cannot do it all by myself! However, customer services for me is very important. I’ve seen many business loose customers because the lack good customer service. Seeing that made me reluctant in delegating. However, building a team that understands your passion and continuous training and development sets the stage! 100% customer satisfaction!!
