GYMGUYZ Launches ‘Opportunity October’ Campaign with a Goal of Hiring 200 New Personal Trainers by the End of the Year

Leave a comment



PLAINVIEW, N.Y. (PRWEB)

GYMGUYZ, the nation’s first in-home mobile personal training and fitness franchise, has announced its Opportunity October hiring campaign. The campaign seeks to aggregate 2,000 new applications which translate to the hiring of another 200 personal fitness trainers before the end of 2020. In addition to helping meet the company’s growth plan of opening 100 new locations by the end of 2020, the Opportunity October campaign is meant to aid in the fitness industry’s pressing need for quality personal trainers.

GYMGUYZ currently has over 250 locations across the globe serving over 575 cities and continues to eye national and international expansion as it seeks out territories that show a demand for its in-home personal training services. This year, GYMGUYZ has successfully added new locations to several states including California, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, Oklahoma, as well as Canada and the United Kingdom, with additional territories expected to open before the end of the year. The Opportunity October hiring campaign is part of GYMGUYZ’s plan to aggressively increase hiring efforts to help support its growth strategy.

“GYMGUYZ offers personal trainers the opportunity to be a part of a team that is changing the fitness industry,” said Josh York, CEO and Founder of GYMGUYZ. “We are extremely proud of our team and are excited to hire more highly-skilled, energetic and driven individuals to provide convenient, customized and creative workouts in the setting of our clients’ choice. Before starting GYMGUYZ, I worked as a personal trainer and I recognize how important it is to pair our clients with the best trainers possible. The incredible culture of the fitness industry has allowed me to work my way up from being a personal trainer to opening my own mobile personal training business.”

The fitness industry suffers from an annual trainer turnover rate of 80%, according to a study done by W.I.T.S. GYMGUYZ combats this turnover rate by offering trainers the opportunity to “bust out of the gym” and take their training to the client. GYMGUYZ also stresses a uniquely personalized training approach, creating a high level of trust and collaboration between trainers and clients. The brand’s coaches, who must be nationally certified personal trainers and pass a rigorous background check to be considered for employment, are trained using GYMGUYZ methodologies and employ various techniques and tools to ensure that no two workouts are ever the same and that clients are always having fun and being challenged.

The brand structures convenient, customized and creative workouts to help every client meet their own personal goals. Training programs begin with a comprehensive health and fitness assessment that creates a thorough fitness baseline for the client, as well as a deep discussion of fitness goals and timelines for achievement. This helps to determine a customized and ideal course of action. This client-focused approach and more effective delivery model is the reason that GYMGUYZ holds an above-industry average NPS score of 94—showcasing the positive regard clients everywhere have for the company and the results they are able to achieve due to the convenience and effectiveness of the service.

GYMGUYZ was recognized earlier in 2019 as having jumped up 49% on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2019 Franchise 500® and also ranked No. 50 on Entrepreneur’s list of Fastest-Growing Franchises and No. 25 on its Best For Any Budget list in the under $100,000 category.

Why Drivers Should Get Online Car Insurance Quotes Before Dropping Current Coverage

Leave a comment


News Image

“Driving while uninsured is a risky and extremely costly endeavor. We recommend drivers to look for better prices, instead of dropping coverage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains why drivers should get car insurance quotes online before dropping the current coverage.

For more info and free quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/why-getting-quotes-is-the-smart-thing-to-do-before-dropping-coverage/

Totally dropping the current coverage will leave a driver uninsured and prone to numerous penalties. There are some alternatives, like searching for cheaper coverage from different companies. Get free car insurance quotes from http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com and compare prices!


  • Driving without insurance is illegal. Any driver caught without insurance will be penalized with hefty fines, license points, car impoundment and expensive future premiums. Furthermore, drivers will be required to carry SR-22 for a predetermined period of time. In Massachusetts, the fine for driving without insurance can be as high as $5000. In many states, subsequent convictions will be penalized with jail time, starting from 10 days, up to half a year or even a year. Having driver’s license reinstated will also cost a significant amount of money. To conclude it all, driving without insurance is not worth the money.

  • Use online quotes to look for cheaper rates. Getting cheaper premiums is the best alternative to dropping coverage. Use online quotes and get prices from as many insurance companies as possible, including the smaller, local ones. A local company may provide a better price for the same high-quality services offered by any industry giant. Smaller companies realize that they cannot compete without offering fair prices and outstanding services.

  • Use brokerage websites. Brokerage websites work establish a vast network with national and local insurance providers. After the user inputs the ZIP code, the brokerage website will present a list with top matches. Then, the user can be redirected to a company’s quote webpage just by clicking on the company’s name.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Grand opening of new Community Center completes a decade of transformative change at Pine Run Retirement Community

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Carol Elia, Jerry Gorski, Maria Santangelo, Jim Brexler, and Amber Bahr celebrate the opening of the Community Center on October 2 in Doylestown, Pa.

“Work over the last decade at Pine Run is transformational, encompassing renovations to resident cottages, construction of a four-story apartment complex, upgrades of the 90-bed Pine Run Health Center, and improvements to infrastructure,”said Maria Santangelo, executive director at Pine Run.


DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (PRWEB)

Pine Run Villagers and Doylestown Health and Pine Run leaders celebrated the grand opening of Pine Run’s new community center devoted to healthy living on Oct. 2. Amenities in the 37,000-square-foot building include indoor and outdoor dining venues, entertainment galleries, a swimming pool and fitness facilities.

The two-story building was constructed in two phases after a groundbreaking in Spring 2017. The new center will continue to be the heart of the Pine Run community for years to come.

“While this may be the end of construction, we are poised on the precipice of a new chapter in senior living,” said Maria Santangelo, executive director at Pine Run. “In fact, work over the last decade at Pine Run is transformational, encompassing renovations to resident cottages, construction of a four-story apartment complex, upgrades of the 90-bed Pine Run Health Center, and improvements to infrastructure.”

The new center features versatile spaces known as “galleries” for food, fitness and fun activities. The first phase of construction included three indoor and two outdoor dining galleries overlooking the pond, as well as a café. The second phase includes an expanded fitness center with new equipment, space for classes, an indoor pool with a private changing area, and a 175-seat auditorium.

“Pine Run is an integral part of Doylestown Health, now and far into the future,” said Jim Brexler, President and CEO. “Doylestown Health has a bright future – a visionary future – and Pine Run is an important part of the continuum of care we offer our community, today and always.”

Construction of the new Community Center is one of the priorities of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health, a $75 million philanthropic effort that includes Pine Run and the Doylestown Hospital campus. The campaign launched last year and has received nearly $60 million in gifts, pledges and bequests.

Two other new Doylestown Health construction projects are nearing completion: The Cardiovascular and Critical Care Pavilion, housing the Woodall Center for Heart and Vascular Care, which will open in early 2020. The Ambulatory Center on the health system’s flagship hospital campus, with its same-day surgery center, orthopedic offices and rehabilitation facilities, will be finished in Spring 2020.

The ONE VISION campaign launched publicly in June 2018 and will end in 2023 to mark the centennial of Doylestown Hospital, founded by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown.

“Nearly 125 years ago at its founding, I suspect the women of the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown would never have imaged how their vision to create a healthier community would one day result in a time and place like this,” said Joyce Hanson, president of the VIA. “This community center is the embodiment of that vision – it offers healthy options in food and activities, but most of all, it helps to build a better community.”

Located on 43 acres in Doylestown Township, Pine Run was originally built in 1976. The Ferry Road campus is home to more than 300 seniors who enjoy independent living in cottages and apartments. Also located on the campus are the Pine Run Health Center, which offers rehabilitation services and 90 skilled nursing beds.

Pine Run continues to grow and re-invest in Villager services and facilities. The $13 million Community Center is part of a decade-long investment in Pine Run.

The New Community Center also features a library and computer nook, living room with fireplace, a hair and nail salon and a Country Store.

Designed by AG Architecture Inc. and built by Gorski Engineering of Collegeville, the center uses environmentally-friendly green materials and innovative features to reduce energy costs. The site incorporates a rain garden with plantings, a greenhouse, and a pond with new landscaping enjoyable in all four seasons.

About Pine Run

Pine Run Retirement Community in Doylestown has 272 cottages and 24 apartments situated on a beautiful 43-acre campus. Also located on the campus are the Pine Run Health Center, which offers rehabilitation services and 90 skilled nursing beds. The Garden, a 40-bed, secure dementia neighborhood, is located on the top floor of the five-story Health Center. The Willows neighborhood offers an intimate setting for end-of-life care. An additional 107-bed personal care residence, Pine Run Lakeview, is located on Lower State Road in Doylestown.

About ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health

Doylestown Health is beginning a bold new chapter as we approach our second century of health care delivery. To honor our centennial, Doylestown Health launched an ambitious $75 million comprehensive campaign, ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health, to elevate the patient experience to new heights and unlock our full potential to deliver exceptional care.

Philanthropic support of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health will fund transformational renovation and expansion across the Doylestown Hospital and Pine Run campuses and will help chart the course for the next generation of patients, providers and technology.

Unprecedented Resolution for Snapshot Hyperspectral Imaging now available from Bodkin Design

Leave a comment


ULTRIS S20

ULTRIS S20

The new Cubert ULTRISTM Hyperspectral Snapshot Camera captures 400×400 spatial pixels with 100 spectral channels in every frame.


NEWTON, Mass. (PRWEB)

Bodkin Design is proud to announce the release of the Cubert ULTRIS™ Snapshot Hyperspectral Imager, the highest resolution Snapshot Hyperspectral Imager available. The camera provides an image resolution of 400×400 spatial pixels with 100 spectral channels, covering a continuous wavelength range from 450nm to 850nm.

Cubert’s new ULTRIS™ camera was developed based on Light Field technology. The camera features an Ultra-HD CMOS 20 MP sensor, lenslet array and continuously variable bandpass filter. During image acquisition the object is recorded with a multitude of images, each with its own optical bandpass filter with different center wavelength. The unparalleled number of 160,000 spectra are acquired simultaneously with this unique optical processor. The 12-bit image sensor makes it possible to detect minute intensity differences in the spectral content while keeping the noise level exceptionally low, and the dual GigE camera interface guarantees an image frame rate of 6 Hz.

A conventional color image has three colors per pixel, but a hyperspectral image can have hundreds. Because every material has a characteristic color signature, this information can be used to identify an object by analyzing its spectra. Unlike more conventional scanned systems, snapshot hyperspectral imaging is ideal for transient events and for observation from moving platforms. The device has no moving components making the system virtually immune to mechanical failure. The unique optical processor provides a fully registered, hyperspectral data-cube on every video frame.

The uses for hyperspectral imaging are rapidly expanding into industrial applications and the commercial research and development space. Snapshot hyperspectral imaging is increasingly being used in agricultural management, biological research, drug detection, environmental monitoring, marine biology, food safety, quality control, mining exploration, leak detection, geologic mapping, medical imaging, cancer screening, and general machine vision applications.

About Hyperspectral imaging at Bodkin Design

“The Imaging System Experts”™

Bodkin Design and Engineering, LLC has been providing hyperspectral imaging equipment since 2003 when it introduced the HyperPixel™ array snapshot hyperspectral imager to the market place. A recognized leader in spectral imaging technology BD&E produces infrared snapshot hyperspectral imagers, multislit scanning spectral imagers, infrared imagers and polarimetric imagers. And under exclusive agreement BD&E is the US distributor for visible band spectral imagers from Cubert GmbH and SILIOS Technologies. Headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, the company serves the international OEM, commercial, military, and research communities. Specializing in electro-optic and mechanical systems, BD&E is eager to work with partners to develop further uses for its technologies.

Nextremity Solutions, Inc. Announces Commercial Launch of Stratum™ MPJ Plating System

Leave a comment


We are pleased with the recent clinical success with the Stratum MPJ system and the continued adoption by our surgeon customers.


WARSAW, Ind. (PRWEB)

Nextremity Solutions, Inc., a strategic commercialization organization with a focus on the musculoskeletal space, located in “The Orthopedic Capital of the World,” Warsaw, Ind., has recently made commercially available the Stratum MPJ Plating System as an extension to its already successful Stratum Foot Plating System.

The Stratum MPJ Plating System provides surgeons with twelve total plates with both 0-degree and 7-degree options. These plates address issues in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, which is the joint between the first metatarsal and proximal phalanx of the foot. MPJ fusion surgery is intended to help relieve pain in the front of the foot for the patient in need of surgery.

Ryan Schlotterback, Chief Technology Officer of Nextremity Solutions said, “The team has done an excellent job of developing our Stratum plating technology. We are pleased with the recent clinical success with the Stratum MPJ system and the continued adoption by our surgeon customers. Surgeons appreciate the combination of features that allow for efficient trialing and placement of the plate with the ability to dial in desired compression prior to final fixation. The Stratum MPJ Plating System further builds on the Stratum family of plates and we are excited about the additional applications in the pipeline.”

The Stratum MPJ Plating System launch was preceded by the launches of the Stratum Foot Plating System, Stratum Lapidus Plating System, and InCore® Lapidus System. All of these systems address various deformities or traumatic injuries of the foot. Additionally, Nextremity Solutions notes that its success in product development is owed to its i3® Strategic Solutions micro-commercialization strategy.

“Over the last two and a half years we have remained passionately focused on our i3 Strategic Solutions strategy. This strategy is driven by our collaboration with surgeon designers and surgeon evaluators that are committed to the development and pre-market evaluation of innovative surgical solutions. The most recent integration of these technologies continues to validate our unique strategic commercialization model,” said Rod Mayer, President & Chief Executive Officer for Nextremity Solutions.

The Nextremity Solutions Stratum Foot Plating System, which includes the Lapidus and MPJ plating systems, is a plate and screws construct indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions and fusions of small bones and small bone segments, particularly in osteopenic bone. An application for a CE mark is pending.

The Nextremity Solutions InCore Lapidus System is a three-part construct intended for internal fixation for First Metatarsocuneiform arthrodesis (also known as Lapidus or First Tarsometatarsal Fusion).

Designing a suitable coverage plan may seem too complex and it should be done only by experts. This is partially true. Nowadays, online users can customize coverage plans with ease, using intuitive interfaces. Also, with a little research, anyone can understand car insurance terms and make smart selections.

  • Determine the available budget and insurance needs. Nobody should consider making an investment without analyzing the available budget. This is also true for auto insurance. Depending on the driver’s status, a six-months coverage plan may cost from several hundred dollars up to several thousands of dollars. People that have a high-risk driver status should expect to pay more. For them getting quotes is crucial.

  • Get online car insurance quotes. Look for companies licensed to sell coverage in the area and try to get quotes from as many as possible. Using a brokerage website is recommended. After getting online quotes, the driver can choose to purchase insurance from a company that sells affordable coverage.

  • Customize quotes. It is important to remember that the driver can make certain modifications and adjust the rates. These modifications refer to coverage limits, deductible levels, extra services (roadside assistance, rental coverage, vanishing deductibles, etc.) and payment options.

  • Get useful extra services. Having extra services is costly, but some services are really useful and money-worth. Roadside assistance, accident forgiveness and vanishing deductibles are great to acquire.

  • Look for all available discounts. When getting online quotes, the user will encounter several questions designed to help him get discount. If the driver has certain safety devices, no claims in 3-5 years or low mileage, he will automatically receive several discounts.

  • Increase deductibles. Modifying the deductibles is a sure way to increase/decrease full coverage costs. Although $500 is the recommended value for both collision and comprehensive deductibles, those who want to save more on auto insurance can opt for higher values.
