The White Lake gym, which opened in 2010 at Fisk Corners, renovated the space that used to be home to Blockbuster and AT&T near Walmart.
In just three weeks of reopening in its new location, Your Fit Club has enjoyed an increase in membership, according to gym owner Neal Stulberg. The 24-hour White Lake fitness club relocated from its location at Fisk Corners to 9140 Highland Rd., in the former Blockbuster/AT&T building near Walmart. "We wanted to offer more to our members," Stulberg said. "We were able to move into a building with a much larger space. Now we're able to offer group exercise, a juice and smoothie bar, daycare - all the features that were missing at the other one." Stulberg said more free weight, strength and cardio equipment has been added to the gym as well, but he attributes the membership growth to the visibility in the new location. "There's some large…

Bill would offer grace period for small businesses to correct violations of regulations.
Congressman Kerry Bentivolio (MI-11) last week introduced his first bill, The Protect Small Business Jobs Act (H.R. 746), according to a news release from Bentivolio's office. This legislation offers small business owners a six-month grace period to correct a violation of federal regulations as long as the violation does not pose an imminent threat to life. "Small businesses are America's job creators," Bentivolio said in the news release, "and the massive regulatory state grows so quickly that they often have a tough time keeping up. This comes at the expense of jobs and economic growth. The Protect Small Business Jobs Act encourages the great American tradition of entrepreneurship and competition in an age when most Americans see that …

Exempt the Life Safety Code instead of "imminent danger". It leaves too much room for interpretation and handcuffs inspectors. This will be a nightmare for courts also. more ›

This sounds great! Parking at Fisk Corners is always tight, so having more room for parking should help Your Fit Club (YFC) attract more business. Plus having their own building helps make it easier to spot from the road. To be honest, I didn't even know YFC was in Fisk Corners in the first place, it's hard to notice the store names as you're whizzing along M-59. It's somewhat ironic that the AT&… more ›
