This session shares my conversation with the ownership team for the Body Fit Training fitness studio here in Franklin. We had our discussion in the studio after the sessions were completed for Saturday, November 29, 2025. 

We started with a round of introductions and their role in the development (in order of introduction)

• KP (Kerry) Peterson
• Bethany Gerry
• Tom Gerry
• Patrick Murphy

Our conversation covers 

• The path to opening, idea, research, decision…
• Open 4 months now, membership continues to grow
• Science based approach to training, progressive 8-10 week planned sessions
• BFT proprietary technology used to inform the training (heart rate monitor, eVolt scan)
• Coaches and members make this a “happy place”
• Want to participate? sign up for a free session to check it out

The recording runs about 40 minutes, so let’s listen in.
