Three questions with Ryan Casolo, owner of Foundation Fitness.
Foundation Fitness is an experts approach to the exercise industry
What do you want the community to know? Are there ways for the community to help you and other local businesses to prosper?
I am a local fitness consultant and certified personal trainer, who majored in exercise science. It is my mission to assist individuals who are looking to maximize their current physical activity efforts or are interested in starting an exercise program whether you are working in a gym when they reopen or you’re working out at home. I am providing free (remote) consultations to offer insights on how you can best reach your goals.
Please take a look at my Facebook page (Foundation Fitness CT), and if you are interested, send me a message or an email at RyancasoloFF@gmail.com.
And for any middle or high school athletes-- while summer sports camps may be canceled, there are still ways to progress in your sport and gain an edge for whenever athletics resume, I have numerous programs that address improving athletic ability and promote proper biomechanics.
Are you offering any new products or ways for customers to purchase your products or services that are popular during this crisis?
During the pandemic, I have been transitioning to remote interactions with customers. From virtual training sessions or consultations over the phone to creating written programs and sending personalized web resources specific to each client's needs. I have been doing a number of free consultations with people over the past few weeks helping to optimize their at-home workouts and offering an expert opinion on what else they could be doing to best achieve their goals.
Are there certain individuals or organizations that supported you and your business through this trying time?
I would like to thank Bring and Buy and Bring and Bring and Buy Too for nominating me, as well as the HamletHub for giving me this opportunity to be a part of the small business community.
Please share the ways your business is adapting to keep your customers and employees safe in addition to the standard guidelines
I have shifted to an online training format for a lot of my clients who have developed a strong foundation and have a good enough grasp on the fundamentals to be trained remotely. For new customers, virtual training will be available. In addition to this, I have developed personalized written programs and content to assist my clients in reaching their goals. As businesses start to reopen, and in-person training becomes acceptable again, I will have strict guidelines in place to protect the health of my customers. I will be training clients in protective gear wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance whenever possible, exercising outside is also a great alternative to being confined to close quarters.
