STAFFORD, Va., Feb. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- fit20 USA announced today the signing of Alexander's Fitness Company, LLC, as Regional Developer for the State of Utah.

Jeff Alexander, owner of Alexander's Print Advantage in Lindon, Utah, has joined with son, Charlie Alexander and son-in-law Blake Rapier, P.A., who will head up the new venture. The trio was looking for a business that would impact Utahns health and wellness and believes fit20 is the answer -- a simple, effective way for maintaining strength and vitality as people age.

"The science supporting the fit20 concept is attractive to me," said Jeff, "providing members with dramatic impact in just 20 minutes a week means it's the perfect program for everyone."

Jeff's son, Charlie, spent the last decade leading the growth of the family print business and was eager to join in supporting the fit20 franchise. "Fitness is exploding in franchising, and the fit20 model is poised for tremendous growth," he said.

Son-in-law, Blake Rapier, most recently was Assistant Medical Director of Ardu Recovery Center in Orem, and will lead the fit20 expansion in the state, "I am excited to be developing fit20 in Utah to provide safe and effective personal training in our studios," said Blake. "This is a concept that makes a difference in people's lives, increasing their strength and vitality. As a medical professional, I understand the valuable and the need."

fit20 is a unique concept that provides a private, noise-free environment geared to accommodate busy schedules and reflect personal physical requirements, featuring a 20-minute weekly session with a certified personal trainer

The fit20 members meet weekly with a personal trainer for an intense, slow-motion resistance training session to ensure a safe and highly effective workout experience. A circuit of specialized strength training machines is used to create a full body workout that increases strength and vitality. Click here for animation video.
