14 Years of Slope Fitness: A Family Journey
It’s been 14 years since we first opened our doors, and looking back, I am filled with so much gratitude for the community that has grown within these walls.
To our Park Slope neighbors and members: thank you for being the foundation of everything we do. You aren’t just members; you’re the community that makes this place special every single day.
I also have to recognize the people who make this gym run at its best. A massive thank you to my incredible staff, led by our amazing GM, Lina. Your leadership and dedication are what keep us moving forward.
On a personal note, I’m reflecting today on how this all began. Dad, thank you for taking me to that very first gym. Without that one moment, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and Slope Fitness wouldn't exist.
To my daughter, Sydney: thank you for always reminding me that this will always be a family thing. Your perspective keeps me grounded and focused on what matters.
And finally, to Teresita, my partner in everything. You help me in so many countless ways in life and in this business. Thank you for being by my side through it all.
Fourteen years down, and we’re just getting started. Here’s to many more! 🥂💪 - Michael
