elements Helps Reinvigorate Sluggish Economy with New Charlotte Club Developments

Posted on September 17, 2008 by Pete Kosowski

Miami Beach, FL – elements™, the upscale Miami-based fitness and living brand for women, seeks to reinvigorate a downshifting economy with the re-launch and expansion of their uptown showcase club at 129 West Trade Street in Charlotte, NC’s banking center. The renovated club will introduce more jobs into the slowing local job market as the brand continues to increase its brand exposure in the fast-growing fitness field.

As financial analysts forecast a waning United States economy, elements™ continues to take advantage of the continuously-profitable fitness market to create more jobs and expand branches throughout the country and around the world. Renovation and expansion of the Charlotte club is underway, and the brand is also scouting locations and looking to open additional clubs in Charlotte and the primary Carolina markets of Raleigh, Wilmington, Charleston, and Columbia.

elements™ at 129 West Trade Street is set to be re-launched with a new interior look and more fitness, diet and wellness options for members. In addition to numerous jobs that will be created to staff the center, elements™ will also work to create partnerships with local businesses for a new city-wide wellness program called Club FIT.

elements™ Brand Director Chris Palumbo said, "elements™ is in the business of making people successful in business. Because we’re a leading player in the women’s fitness industry, one of the most stable industries right now, we can continue to expand and grow with new jobs and new opportunities throughout Charlotte and give back to the community."
