Wallaceburg has a brand new fitness option on the south side of town.

“I guess it has been like a life long dream,” said Jammie Perry, who owns Southside Fitness along with his significant other, Stephanie Carson.

“I have been into fitness for all my life so it has just been a thought for a lot of years and now it became a reality recently. We found this location in Wallaceburg, the best location as far as central to all the amenities for people and obviously the exposure to the community.”

They will be holding an open house on Saturday, February 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

All are welcome to attend.

Stephanie said Southside Fitness is opening with an already proven success story under their belts.

“We started with Shane O’Hara on February 5th of last year,” she said.

“Shane came to us to look at some fitness goals. Weight loss specifically. We started with Shane, put him on a diet program, exercise programs and his goal was to get to 180 lbs. One year later, from starting at 248 lbs. he met his goal.”

Stephanie said they are bringing the big city equipment, into the little town of Wallaceburg at Southside Fitness.

“Initially we offer the machines, the cardio. We offer fitness classes, ample parking out back and out front, well lit area as well,” she said.

“Leigh Anne Salisbury will be teaching insanity which is a cardio class. Her schedule varies but she will be here Monday to Friday. Sarah Charlebois is teaching 9 a.m. boot camps on Saturdays, which consists of mostly strength training, circuit training intervals.”

Stephanie said Matthew Kerr is also teaching boot camps Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Patti Blondia is teaching 6 a.m. class on Tuesday and Thursday.

“We have a new fellow coming on with us. His name is Justice and he is going to fill in some of the gaps. We are hoping to minimally offer two fitness classes a day. There is varying times. Earliest being 6 a.m., we do have some 10 a.m. and actually we are going to trial a 5 a.m. class and introduce some 7 p.m. classes.”

Stephanie said her and Jammie are thrilled to open up shop in Wallaceburg, and help others achieve their fitness goals.

“We are super committed to providing a super positive environment for everybody of all ages, fitness levels,” she said, adding you need to be at least 16 to join the gym.

“16 to 116 pretty much. We just want it to be a positive environment that is conducive to everybody being happy here.”

Southside Fitness is located at 59 McNaughton Ave. in Wallaceburg.
