Following are some of the points discussed: • Anytime Fitness is a franchise and they would be open 24/7. • All equipment would be cardio equipment. • Idea is easy access; convenience; affordability. • Location is a nice setting for a gym. • Sample floor plan is shown in the write-up. Christine said they are looking to compete with other gyms. They are looking to have a site that is newer; brighter; and more active. • Will be for members. • At peak times they estimate about 5 to 10 at the gym at any given time. • Tom O'Hara commented that he looked at the parking issue and his only concern was the side entrance if that is used as an entrance. John Patrick Minerella said if they don't have enough parking in the front then they'll park in the back. • They will have video and lights for security and at side may require a walkway. • Owners John Patrick and Christine will be there daily and plan to staff the facility at least initially. • A "hot line" emergency button is on the exercise machine and a welcome kiosk in the center of the floor would have a phone directed to 911. Also, necklace for member to put on for emergency would be available. A red button on the wall to push in emergency is something Sheldon said he would be looking for as well. Applicants said they believe they have that. • They are not doing any tanning operation.
