Hi.  My name is Brook Jones and I became President of Hyde Park Gym on Jan 1, 2006.  I’ve been a member here since 1997 and my first priority is to maintain the character and personality that has made this place your gym of choice.  I am very happy to be working with such a great group of trainers, members and staff.

Some of our short-term goals include: making sure all of the equipment is working and functional As of this writing all but one piece of equipment is functioning properly.   Facility Manager Marc Heard and I have made maintenance a top priority. finding a reliable cleaning service to keep the gym tidy We’ve now had a professional, weekly cleaning for over a year.  Staff, especially Lem, have also helped out tremendously.  The gym is consistently the cleanest I’ve ever seen it. allocating more space to abdominal and functional training We added 700 square feet in the back by moving walls and dramatically reconfigured the leg room. finding ways for the gym to be of maximum use and satisfaction to YOU Just a few of the changes we’ve made: Created additional Olympic platforms Expanded drink and supplement options [Thanks, Pattie Farley!] Built a friendly, intelligent, dedicated staff [Thanks to Personnel Manager Amalia Litras!
