Our Origin Story
At Fit4 All NY, we work in an integrative environment with all ages and fitness levels.
Fit 4 All NY believes in giving access to all those who want to benefit socially, physically, and mentally from exercise. The gym is owned and operated by Charles DeFrancesco, Carmine LaManna, and Denise Groothuis. Together with their team of trainers, Charles, Carmine, and Denise work together so that all adults and children of all abilities value and enjoy the lifelong benefit of physical activity.
Fit 4 All NY has been through various name changes since our inception. We started as Pure Fit Club and then changed to The Arena Fitness before becoming Fit 4 All NY. Our gym was created to ensure that our clients are both fit and functional. Our founder, Charles DeFrancesco, started the gym intending to make sure the trainers were more educated and more experienced than the general population.
As the father of an autistic child named Antonio, Charles found that there were very few fitness programs available to differing populations. Charles understood the importance of children like his son exercising in a mainstream gym around his typical peers and offering people of all ages and fitness levels access to a full-service gym. As a result, our integrative gym was born.
