Expert Fitness and Personal Training Franchise GYMGUYZ Opens First Location in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Mobile Fitness Brand Expands in Home State, Bringing Personal Training to More Neighborhoods




PLAINVIEW, N.Y. — GYMGUYZ, the mobile fitness and personal-training brand, is proud to announce its expansion in New York City with an opening in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn. Spearheaded by New York natives and fitness buffs Melayne Furer, Robin Hjalte and her son Michael Hjalte, the location will open June 1 as the first of its kind in Brooklyn.




“We’ve seen tremendous success with our GYMGUYZ locations on Long Island, and Melayne, Robin and Michael are passionate franchisees who are the perfect fit to expand the brand in Brooklyn,” said Josh York, Founder and CEO of GYMGUYZ. “We are a brand born out of New York, and this expansion will help us establish an even stronger foothold in our home state as we continue growing.”


Robin Hjalte learned about GYMGUYZ at her chiropractor’s office, where she overheard a conversation about a new health concept hitting the city. After inquiring about the brand and doing her research, she brought the idea to her son, Michael, whose interest in health and fitness made him the perfect candidate to join the team as a trainer. Robin Hjalte then recruited her best friend, Melayne Furer, to join them as a franchisee. The trio’s goal is to promote a healthier, active lifestyle to community members and be an inspiration to those looking to better their lives through fitness. While Melayne Furer and Michael Hjalte will be more client-facing as franchisees, Robin Hjalte will be responsible for operations.  


After their flagship location is open, the business partners would like to expand their reach with three additional locations in Brooklyn.  


“Robin and I both have business backgrounds while Michael is dedicated to staying active; with this combination, GYMGUYZ proves to be the ideal opportunity for us,” said Melayne. “As natives of New York, we want to impact our community in a positive way and provide high-quality personal training and wellness to our neighbors.”


GYMGUYZ brings state-of-the-art fitness technology, equipment and expertise to the doors of its rapidly growing customer base. Trainers then use their knowledge to structure workouts that will help each client meet his or her individual needs, track their progress and stay motivated over the course of a 15-week program.


The brand’s expansion into Brooklyn, N.Y. validates that the GYMGUYZ business model has proved itself not only convenient but also lucrative. Like-minded individuals with a passion for fitness and business are ideal operators to help expand the GYMGUYZ brand on a national scale while taking control of their own career.


“We’re riding on strong momentum from 2014 as we enter the second quarter of the year, and the transformations we’ve seen in our clients are our motivation to keep moving forward,” said York. “With our dual focus on customized workouts along with a personalized setting of our clients’ choice, we will help fill a fitness void as we continue growing on the East Coast.”


GYMGUYZ shows no signs of slowing down and is currently targeting expansion in New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Colorado and Georgia. For franchising opportunities please visit http://www.gymguyzfranchise.com/.

Completed my first 16 Week IsaBody Challenge: Believe You Have A Purpose

My family is what matters most to me.  I’m 51 and a mother of 4 (ages 14 – 26). I wanted to be healthier, more active and stronger not just for me, but for the people I love.  I wanted to set an example for my family that we each possess the tools to master our wellness and vitality. I've always been petite except when I was pregnant ( when I gained an average of 50 pounds per pregnancy - 4 times!) Over the years I had tried various diet and exercise regimens, and I did enjoy a degree of success, but the results were not to the level I hoped for, and they were somewhat short lived.   Achieving stable, long-lasting results proved stubbornly elusive.    Then when I hit menopause everything became more difficult.    My body stopped cooperating altogether, and I was constantly grumpy. My waist and hips expanded and I found myself napping in the afternoons.    I started to accept the idea that there would be this new, less vibrant version of me. I just completed my P

Immigration and Family: Will my mom ever get to see my daughter walk down the aisle

Last year when my father passed away in the Philippines, I went home and took some time to visit the U.S. Embassy in Manila to ask what the options are for my mother to return to the U.S. The consul reminded me of the 10-year travel ban. That on or after November 8, 2015 — not earlier – or 10 years after my mom, was deported in 2005 for overstaying her visa, I can email the U.S. Embassy and inquire about my mother’s approved petition. I asked if I need to file another petition, and she informed me I didn’t have to. I asked if I could… and she stopped me and said to ask everything on or after November 8, 2015. This is where I am, and where my thoughts are drifting as I celebrate this month my 16th American birthday. I am counting the months, the weeks and the days. My daughter is getting married in January 2016 and I would love to have my entire family, especially my mother, to be here when that momentous occasion happens.

SPICE-up a young child's development: social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional

Children are the precious gems of a family. When they’re young and innocent, they are like sponges that willingly and quickly absorb any knowledge and emotion. That’s why at an early age, we encourage our children to read, be creative, be happy and feed their curiosity. With all the technology and instant gratification that children get from playing video or computer games, asking a child to read a good book has been a challenge for some parents .     “Your children are not your children.       They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.       They come through you but not from you,       And though they are with you, and yet they belong not to you.       You may give them your love but not your thoughts,        For they have their own thoughts.        You may house their bodies but not their souls,        For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,        which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.” -                     Kahlil Gibr

Helping others surpass their goals and expectations

"It's not about the end goal. It's who you become by consistently pushing to the edge of your limits." - Robin Sharma Do you ever wonder why you stumble on new things?  Do you ever wonder why unsuspecting strangers cross your path? Do you ever wonder why your mind takes you to a direction you didn't think exist? I was walking to StarBucks to meet my husband when I noticed a sign...

Still shaky, skidded in snow, but so blessed my guardian angels are looking after me!

"Never again wonder, what to be thankful for..."   - Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life It’s yet another snowy day in New Jersey. Beautiful, yes but dangerous! In line with my goal for this month is to get back on schedule. I got up around 4am to get my 15yo ready for his Model United Nations conference. (Thankful that our neighbor offered to drive him to school by 5:30am ) I got my 9yo ready for school and I'm thankful that my other neighbor offered to drive him to school. I then drove my husband to the train station to Manhattan. I decided to stop by the Community Center and decided to run a fast 5K on the treadmill. I was 1 mile short because I was so sweaty and hot. (Note to self: dress lightly next time) While cooling down inside the car, I read Day 14’s chapter of Rick Warren's the “Purpose Driven Life” book. I felt really good because it just reminded me that there is always something to be thankful for no matter how awful yo
