Building a Fitness Ecosystem: Inside ProFit365X
ProFit365X is not just a traditional gym, but a community-based fitness ecosystem aimed at helping members and trainers grow alongside one another. Co-founders Jerry Balistreri and Grace Romano treat their facility as a “health bank,” which encourages each member to consider their workout a deposit into long-term wellness. By supporting one another along the fitness journey, each member and trainer invests in themselves.
The Health Bank: A True Fitness Community
Balistreri, a veteran in fitness facility ownership and branding, alongside Romano, a dedicated fitness enthusiast and business professional, had a mission to build a genuine fitness community. The monetary allegory of a health bank was designed to motivate members to treat their bodies as an investment in the future, and the community-driven space that emerged from the idea is empowering both members and trainers to thrive long-term. The co-founders assembled a group of trainers in Whitestone, NY, that would help build this personal training ecosystem.
As one might expect, ProFit365X is a departure from the traditional gym model. A health bank emphasizes collaboration, creates tailored support systems, and offers opportunities to invest in health. Trainers can flourish alongside members precisely because ProFit365X isn’t a traditional gym.
“ProFit365X is a health bank, not just a workout space,” Balistreri said. “We focus on making each session a meaningful investment in health, while providing trainers with the tools and resources to build their brands.”
A Team Invested in Its Clients
ProFit365X is built around a team of exceptional trainers. Backed by their example of dedication, members know who to turn to as they make a similar investment in themselves. Each trainer brings a unique range of expertise and energy to the health bank and has a different approach to how members can pursue success on their wellness journey. The ProFit365X trainer team is as follows:
- Sabrina Runager: Sabrina is a high-energy coach with a results-driven approach. Her specialty in functional training helps members to discover techniques that they can apply in their day-to-day lives.
- Devonte Smith: As a military veteran, Devonte understands what it takes to help members achieve their goals. He helps them grow in dedication and discipline so that they can aspire to be like the fitness powerhouse he is.
- Eric Schneider: With an innovative approach, Eric focuses on helping members develop the strength and endurance necessary to succeed in their fitness journey. When clients feel they have reached a plateau on their climb, Eric helps them surpass it.
ProFit365X works to ensure that its trainers aren’t just instructors but leaders in their field. When they help members, they look for ways to grow themselves along with their clients. No one at the health bank is ever satisfied with simply completing the journey. In a true fitness ecosystem, opportunities for growth are constantly revealed.
As one member shared, “Every class feels like I’m investing in my health, but the bonus is the relationships I’ve built with the trainers and community.”
“Health is Wealth, Invest in Yourself”
ProFit365X has already celebrated one year of innovation and impact in Whitestone, NY, bringing together elite trainers to redefine what a fitness community looks like. Moving forward, the health bank plans to expand its concept nationally. This way, more people can benefit from its forward-thinking model for personal wellness investment and trainer empowerment. After all, “Health is wealth, invest in yourself.”
