5TC Thanks the Woodmere Fitness Club for what they have done for the community. We’re sad to see such an amazing organization close its doors. However, as you’ll see the fun will continue and Inna Koppel will be continuing via podcast.
Full Letter from Ina Koppel:
We’ve made the big decision and it’s time to fill you in on what’s happening!
After ten incredible years at the Woodmere Fitness Club we are closing our doors. The team and I wanted to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to our wonderfully supportive, STRONG family of members for enabling us to do what we love all of these years.
As we cleared out the gym and turned in the keys, I took some time to reflect on everything we’ve done together:
We have been an integral part of the 5 Towns community for over a decade.
We have helped a generation of girls fall in love with fitness, and become more confident through our @wfcgirls program which performed at the Brooklyn Nets this year and came together to raise over 35k in the OHEL OXC Classic
The friendships that were made in the gym have united our community, near and far.
We banned together to fundraise for many local community organizations during times of need, big and small. The Marion and Aaron Gural JCC Ruff House Rescue NY EMUNAH of America Sharsheret Shalom Task Force
We revolutionized fitness in the 5-Towns with our innovative programs like Starting Strength and launched a pilot study on memory impairment and strength training with the biggest healthcare systems in New York, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.
We functioned more like a community center than a gym and that gave our jobs meaning.
Studio Inna started 10 years ago as a small fitness studio and grew into the Woodmere Fitness Club with outreach programs in every local school.
Nothing would be possible without the incredible team that dedicated themselves to helping our members be their best in and out of the gym. They went above and beyond for every member, they are the best team that I have ever had the honor of working with. We are still together, keeping ourselves strong for when the community should need us again.
Although the gym is closed, our support of your fitness goals won’t stop.
Subscribe to our new podcast, Inside Fitness Now,(link in Bio) where Raina Butler and I will be connecting with you weekly to keep you motivated and educated on the latest happenings in the fitness world.
With love
@innakoppel
