Today we’d like to introduce you to Susan Zipperer Erin Davison.
Hi Susan Zipperer; thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to introduce yourself.
Trinity Fitness Beachside is one of 12 locations across the country, but it all started here in Brevard County in 2008, in one man’s garage, when his wife said, “I am ready for a change. Can you help me?” Jason and Wendy Palmisano’s garage quickly filled with people looking for the same thing physical change when Jason noticed that unhealthy comparisons were happening in his group fitness classes. He promptly responded with a devotion that refocused the hearts of the people in front of him. “Keeping the main thing the main thing” is the core of Trinity Fitness. We meet a physical need (exercise) and a spiritual need (knowing that God loves you) in each of our classes. We pray before the workout begins and pray for each other when the workout is over. We are the co-facility directors of Trinity Fitness Beachside and are blessed and challenged daily with the task of meeting people right where they are, physically and spiritually. Trinity Fitness lives by its vision statement: “Healthy people inside and out in every community across America,” and we are honored to be a small part of that.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
We stepped into the role of co-facility director in January 2022. We were both stay-at-home moms and volunteer trainers at Trinity Fitness Beachside, excited for our new adventure. We quickly gained momentum with more sponsorships and financial backing, as well as planning events and parties to deepen the existing gym community. Not long after that, we learned that the building had been sold, and we would have to move locations. But God is faithful, and we have been allowed to move into a brand new building. Finding a commercial warehouse space in our small beach community has proven difficult. Still, it has built an even deeper community, as people have come together uniquely to find our gym a new home. We are more vital for the struggle and hopeful for the future of Trinity Fitness Beachside.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us more about your business.
Trinity Fitness is so many things! Our one-hour group fitness classes are all trainer-led. Each day is different, so you will never get bored. We use everything from bodyweight exercises to dumbbells and barbells. Consistent workouts, coupled with good nutrition, will give you the results you are looking for. Trinity Fitness is Christ-centered and faith-based. We aim to develop a community in which everyone who walks in our door feels like they belong first, regardless of their beliefs. Our devotions are crafted to point people to the God who made them and loves them. Over time we have seen people come to believe this truth. We are also a nonprofit 501c3 organization, which means that our membership prices are low and affordable, and we also have scholarship options for those who need them. No one has turned away for lack of finances. All giving is tax deductible.
Let’s end by discussing what matters most to you and why.
Creating a community where anyone feels comfortable, loved, and known regardless of their beliefs. We are honored to be able to use the platform of fitness to create such a beautiful space.
