What Makes All Sport Special? Staff + Members Weigh In with CJ McIntyre

For months now, I’ve been telling you about how much I enjoy going to, and working out, at All Sport Health and Fitness in Fishkill. You've heard about the great programs All Sport has, including: Yoga, Barre, and Pilates, Personal Training, the Outdoor Club, Small Group Training, Group Exercise, and more. One of the best things about All Sport Health and Fitness in Fishkill are the people behind the scenes that make it all come together.

I was able to recently meet up with a few of these inspiring people at All Sport including Mark Cuatt, who is a Managing Partner, and he told me about the "why" of what makes the club so special.

"Our why is to prolong the quality of life of everybody that steps foot through our door," Mark said. "We want to make physical activity something that is fun for people, that they enjoy coming in."

One of the things I love about All Sport is that they're always adding things to the fitness center to make it an experience, and not one of those clubs where you come, work out, and leave. All Sport has a Fuel Café where you can get juices, protein shakes, and meals, group classes, a basketball court, an indoor pool, a summer camp for kids⁠ — it's the kind of place you want to spend time at. Mark said All Sport's goal is to make the exercise experience fun and enjoyable, and they have so many things available to do just that at All Sport.

Another All Sport Health and Fitness staff member I had the chance to spend time with was Sean Kammerer, Membership Director, at the club. Sean explained how his team focuses on providing the best customer service to help members achieve their goals.

"Everybody has a different why for coming to All Sport. We have members who don't even come here to work out, it's that social aspect because living a healthy lifestyle is a lot more than just working out and lifting weights. It's that mental aspect, eating right, getting sleep — all of that put together."

Sean said that one of the main goals of his team at All Sport is to provide members with guidance and assistance with whatever we need to make our way through our fitness journey.

One of those members who started her fitness journey at All Sport was Trudy Minotti, who's been working out at the gym for 37 years. She told me that she went from just being a member to actually becoming an instructor of many classes at All Sport, and that she credits the club with bringing joy to her life and for saving her life when she had a health scare.

"I had a serious thing happen health-wise. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for All Sport," Trudy said.

Like Trudy, I relied on All Sport when I was going through some health and personal issues. Being able to come to All Sport and get out some of that stress really helped me. From working out at the club to the social interaction, you can feel and see All Sport's 'why' when you step through their doors, and the staff and fellow members really make this club feel like a second home.
