ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL – Fitness Ventures, LLC. Headquartered in Altamonte Springs, FL, one of the fastest growing franchisees in the Crunch Fitness system announces the hiring of Jay Thomas as their new VP of Construction. Thomas will begin with the company on June 1, and will be responsible for overseeing all development projects throughout the United States, including nearly $50 million dollars of construction projects already in the pipeline.
Jay Thomas brings unparalleled experience in overseeing the construction of various businesses across the U.S., holds several General Contractor licenses across different states and regions across the U.S.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Jay Thomas to the Fitness Ventures team”, said Brian Hibbard, founder, and CEO of Fitness Ventures. “With our growth rate continuing to accelerate, and the challenges with construction in today’s environment, it was critical that we bring someone on to oversee these projects. We operate in states across the country which provides its own set of challenges, and you combine it with today’s inflationary environment and supply chain issues, and it becomes critically important to have someone with the expertise to oversee these projects to make sure they come in on time and on budget.”
With each new opening, Fitness Ventures brings new jobs to the markets they operate in, and with 28 more in development over the next 18 months, they are adding another 2,500 jobs. “The Fitness Ventures management team has demonstrated the ability to maintain a rapid growth rate, all while executing on a strategy that continues to deliver industry leading results. Having Jay on board overseeing the construction projects will allow us to seize on these opportunities at a faster pace, accelerating our overall growth rate and pushing to our ultimate goal of owning and operating 100 Crunch Fitness locations by 2026”, said Brian Hibbard.
