Four decades of leadership experience

Decades of fitness expertise, focused on your facility.

First Fitness Management was founded in 2015 — built by operators with four decades of industry experience designing, opening, and running successful centers across New England and beyond.

Our story

A partner, not a vendor.

First Fitness Management, LLC was founded in 2015, but our leadership team brings four decades of industry experience. Over that time they founded and grew some of Boston's most respected fitness brands — and today First Fitness is part of the Healthworks Group, the largest locally owned, family-run fitness company in Boston.

That heritage is the difference. Your facility is backed by real operators with decades of experience, a deep bench of fitness professionals — including dedicated HR, IT, accounting, and programming support through the Healthworks Group — and a network few third-party managers can match. Today we manage 15 fitness centers for corporations, property managers, and hospitals — and we've never lost a client to dissatisfaction.

Our leadership team's experience also includes design and management contracts across the country, and we work with national brands, property managers, and developers. We succeed because we tailor every engagement to our client's goals — and you'll have an advisor in your corner from first concept through a fully operating facility.

When working with First Fitness, you truly have a partner, advisor, and expert in your corner — from conceptual design through construction, operations, and ultimately better health. They've become an extension of our HR department.
Robert BowenPresident, Eastpoint Real Estate Services
The biggest compliment I can give is that I never have to think about the fitness center. Best decision we made was bringing in First Fitness Management.

Their financial reporting is timely and detailed, and tenant feedback is phenomenal. They've exceeded every expectation I had of a third-party manager.
