Exciting developments are on the horizon for local fitness enthusiasts! FIT-HER Health & Fitness for Women has teamed up with 5th Gear Fitness in a collaboration aimed at enhancing the member experience while retaining the unique qualities of both brands.
“This partnership focuses on collaboration rather than a merger,” explained Ann Gilbert, owner of FIT-HER Health & Fitness. “We are combining two respected brands under one roof, enhancing the overall fitness journey while honoring each brand’s integrity.”
This new initiative stems from a solid foundation of trust and shared goals fostered over years of collaboration between the two businesses in the Brandon and Valrico communities.
“Our partnership is a natural progression, built on trust, shared experiences, and community collaboration,” added Gilbert. “Together, we’ve hosted charity events, supported initiatives like the American Cancer Society, and even orchestrated the world’s largest outdoor step event.”
For existing members, this collaboration means greater access to resources and programs without losing the warm and welcoming environment that FIT-HER is celebrated for.
“This collaboration results in enhanced access, expertise, and opportunities, while ensuring our members continue to feel supported and empowered,” Gilbert commented.
The collaboration brings together two distinct fitness philosophies: FIT-HER’s focus on women’s wellness and empowerment across all stages of life, and 5th Gear’s performance-oriented training and coaching. Together, they provide a comprehensive fitness experience covering all skill levels.
“We are creating a holistic wellness hub where everyone—from beginners to advanced athletes—can thrive,” Gilbert stated.
This collaborative space will offer an extensive range of services, including personal training, small group coaching, cycle classes, strength training, Pilates reformer classes, and aquatic fitness programming.
“This unique blend of diverse offerings and community support under one roof sets us apart in the area,” concluded Gilbert.
Exciting new classes are set to roll out soon, including Pilates reformer sessions starting on June 1st, along with new cycles and strength training formats, summer aquatic fitness programs, and small group training led by certified coaches.
For those interested in exploring these opportunities, FIT-HER Health & Fitness for Women is conveniently located at 731 W Lumsden Road. For more information, visit https://fit-her.com/.
