NEW YORK, N.Y. – Two industry businesses have made Forbes’ ‘Best Small Companies’ List. IHRSA Member Gainesville Health & Fitness and IHRSA Associate Member Big Ass Fans made Forbes’ list of The Best Small Companies In America, 2016.
“Ask those knowledgeable about the international fitness industry to name the best clubs on the planet and Gainesville Health & Fitness will be on the list,” Forbes said of the 480 employee company. “ Founder and CEO Joe Cirulli travels the world giving talks, for example, on why his centers have customer-retention rates almost 30% higher than the industry average and how he hires and trains the staff that makes such performance possible.”
The Lexington, KY-based Big Ass Fans “has expanded from the industrial sector into commercial and now residential markets, offering lighting products as well as smaller, sleeker home fans packed with high-tech sensors that sell for as much as $2,495,” the article said. “Today its residential products represent about 18% of company sales and growing.”
