Fitness is more than weights and equipment. Fitness is a way of life and encompasses mind, body, spirit for the whole family and is a true community. Josh and Jennifer Peyton, owners of Fitness 1440, designed and crafted their gym, classes and amenities to be just that.
Opening a business can come with ups and downs and for Fitness 1440 opening in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, they faced their share of challenges, as well. Since that time, Fitness 1440 has continued to be a leader in Gallatin’s fitness space and just celebrated their second anniversary on July 1st. Opening in July 2020 during the pandemic wasn’t ideal but with the support and patience of the community and its members, growth has been a continual driver and inspiration for continued success.
“As with anything in today’s society, environment and customer service tend to be the driving force behind any successful business and the fitness industry is no different,” Jennifer expressed. Keeping up with newer equipment that’s offered and being able to adapt to new classes and experiences is what Josh and Jennifer strive for, keeping their members in mind first and foremost.
Community involvement has been, and will continue to be, a strong foundation and principle for Fitness 1440. “We truly love being a part of the Gallatin community and being a family-oriented facility. We are always looking for ways to give back whether it’s supporting local sports and school teams, events with the Gallatin Chamber or other fundraising efforts. It’s important for us to give back to the community who helps us continue to thrive and grow,” says Jennifer. A few organizations close to Fitness 1440’s hearts are The Murph Challenge, 9/11 Stair Climb Challenge, Toys for Tots and The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.
As a premier fitness facility in Gallatin, and with 24-hour access for members, Fitness 1440’s offering of classes and services has grown to include Zumba, HIIT, sculpting, kickboxing, over 10,000 square feet of cardio, weight equipment, machines and amenities including tanning, sauna, massage and functional spaces. This variety of services, classes and equipment ensure the full-service mission of 1440 is always achieved and members have access to every tool they need on their fitness journey.
Keeping with the family-oriented and community-focused approach, Fitness 1440 is Gallatin’s only fitness facility that offers childcare and a full smoothie bar that is always open to the public. Fitness 1440 strives to make every minute count to be a one-stop-shop for all things fitness and wellness and tries to eliminate any roadblocks that others may have when it comes to achieving their fitness goals and having the ability to offer childcare while members workout is a big part of that.
What has been the driving force behind Fitness Josh and Jennifer’s own personal journey of beginning Fitness 1440? “We’ve always had an entrepreneurship mindset and when it was time for us to explore additional business opportunities; we knew it had to be something we were also passionate about and our journey to health and wellness was at a peak,” Jennifer said. What’s next for Josh, Jennifer and Fitness 1440? “We’re always looking at new equipment, classes and amenities. We’d love to be able to provide an outdoor fitness area and are actively looking at ways to achieve that!”
