Meet the New Owner– Allison Slobom
I’m beyond excited about introducing myself as the new majority owner of Foundation Fitness! My journey in fitness started over seven years ago, and for the past several years, this gym has been my home. In 2018, I joined Foundation Fitness as a part-time coach, working just five hours a week.But my passion for training and helping members achieve their goals quickly grew, leading me to become a full-time trainer, then Head Trainer, and eventually General Manager. Now, as the longest-standing employee, I am honored to step into this new role as owner.
As a certified personal trainer with additional specializations in glute training and prenatal/postpartum fitness, my focus has always been on creating challenging yet fun programming that empowers members to become their strongest selves. Whether you’re here for bootcamp classes, semi-private training, personal training, or the unbeatable sense of community, my goal is to continue providing a space where everyone feels supported, challenged, and inspired.
This gym has been a huge part of my journey, and I can’t wait to continue growing it with all of you. Thank you for being part of this incredible community—I’m so excited for what’s ahead!
What’s Staying the Same?
First and foremost, Mark Trenkle will continue as a co-owner of Foundation Fitness. Coach Laurence Hunt will continue training in our downstairs area with his personal clients and athletes through a rental agreement.
While ownership may be changing, the heart and soul of Foundation Fitness remain the same! Our core values—community, strength, and support—will continue to be the foundation of everything we do.
You can count on the same high-energy bootcamp classes,top-tier personal training/semi-private training programs, and an encouraging atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Our commitment to delivering challenging, effective workouts while fostering a supportive and empowering environment isn’t going anywhere.
The relationships we’ve built, the results we’ve achieved,and the camaraderie that makes this gym special will continue to thrive.Whether you’re pushing through a tough workout or celebrating your progress,you’ll always have a team behind you, cheering you on every step of the way.
We’re here to help you hit your goals, stay motivated, and keep growing—just like always!
What’s New?
With new ownership comes exciting updates to make Foundation Fitness even better! We’re committed to keeping the training you love while adding new amenities, programs, and opportunities to support your fitness journey.
Facility Upgrades
We’re expanding what the gym has to offer! Soon, you’ll have access to an outdoor training area with turf for sled pushes and tire workouts—perfect for leveling up your strength and conditioning. In the coming year, we aim to add a dedicated recovery room featuring a sauna and cold tub, helping you optimize recovery and performance. Plus, you may have already noticed some layout changes inside the gym to improve space and flow!
Facility Space & Equipment Usage
Under the new ownership, we have established a rental agreement with Coach Laurence for designated training space. As part of this agreement, all gym bootcamp members will continue to have access to the racks,barbells, plates, and benches located at the four racks in front of the stairs in our downstairs section. However, the dumbbells, kettlebells, open floor space, and double rack in the back will be reserved and off-limits to bootcamp members while the rental agreement is in effect.
We kindly ask for your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines to ensure a smooth and respectful training environment for all.Thank you for your understanding and support!
New Classes & Training Options
Starting in the month of April, we’re excited to introduce new specialty classes to add variety to your routine:
These additions give you even more ways to build strength,improve mobility, and challenge yourself in fresh, dynamic ways!
Rebranding & The Future of the Gym
We’re also working on an exciting rebrand—a fresh name, new colors, and an updated identity to reflect our growing vision. Since this gym has been built with your support, we want your input in shaping the next chapter. Stay tuned for ways to get involved!
Looking ahead, our goal is to grow our membership base in large group classes, semi-private training, and personal training—and eventually transition into a larger, upgraded facility with even more amenities to serve you better.
This is just the beginning, and we’re so pumped for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey—we can’t wait to grow and evolve together!
