“The science supporting the fit20 concept is attractive to me,” said Jeff Alexander, “Providing members with dramatic impact in just 20 minutes a week means it’s the perfect program for everyone.”

Rapier most recently was assistant medical director of Ardu Recovery Center in Orem, and will lead the fit20 expansion in the state, “I am excited to be developing fit20 in Utah to provide safe and effective personal training in our studios,” said Rapier. “This is a concept that makes a difference in people’s lives, increasing their strength and vitality.  As a medical professional, I understand the value and the need.”{/mprestriction}
