Expert Design and Expert Relationships

Recently, We had an old friend, an old industry friend, go visiting the Cape and Martha's Vineyard. He's worked for a couple of the national chains and department stores, and he's pretty good with supply chain management and the organizational side.  I met him when he was working for a vendor, and we've stayed in touch.
 
And he's texting me about how beautiful it is, how many beautiful houses there are, and how it's an amazing place to actually have a home or a summer home.  Because it really is beautiful.

He said he had no idea it even existed. I mentioned to him that a huge amount of our business is actually on the Cape and on the Islands and for the homes right on the water. And he mentions that in all his years of running an internet division selling fitness equipment, he's never once had a client try to ship there.  And he asked me why I do so much business, why he's never even once tried to deliver there.
 
And here's where the point of the story comes in. We're a local expert. I've helped design equipment for a lot of manufacturers and worked on a national scale before, but ConnectFit is about local relationships. We don't just sell equipment, We design spaces, And we work with almost all the local builders and designers.

It means that when I need to have a stacked fitness floor installed on Nantucket, I can get it done because we have partnerships there. It means that when I have a client who wants an absolutely cutting edge smart home to go along with their connected gym, we have the best partners there. It means when we need a custom wall of mirrors, we have those people on speed dial.
 
And very importantly, we have our own warehousing, our own delivery people, and our own local service.
 
So working with ConnectFit to design your dream gym, your own personal training studio, the perfect non-cookie cutter multifamily facility, or whatever space is very different from dealing with some guy on the other side of the country.
They don't have any idea who's going to install your expensive gym floor. They don't have any clue about who's going to set up the electoral circuit for the treadmill. They don't have any idea about who's going to help move any of your old equipment over. 
 
And trust me, they just contract out for whoever's cheapest to install your equipment, and they have no idea who's ever going to service it.  I should know.  I get messages every week from desperate guys from national chains trying to find someone to fix the treadmill their contractors dropped down a flight of stairs.
 
So when you want the combination of the best local expert advice, with local service and delivery, and all the local partnerships for the best contractors and experts, get connected to us.
