Strike Boxing and Fitness owners say Clearfield downtown growth has helped memberships

Preston, co-owner of Strike Boxing and Fitness, and Suzanne, co-owner of Strike Boxing and Fitness, described how downtown development in Clearfield has brought new customers to their gym and helped memberships grow.

The two said they combined boxing classes with strength-and-conditioning and personal training when they opened the business three years ago. "We're the owners here at Strike Boxing and Fitness in Clearfield," Preston said. Suzanne said she fell in love with boxing while coaching in Salt Lake and helped craft the gym's mix of boxing-inspired workouts and other training: "So we've got the boxing classes, and then we all have the strength and conditioning, the personal training."

They told meeting attendees that development of the Clearfield downtown "has really brought a lot of new eyes and fresh faces to the area," adding that the area has become more of a hub with more restaurants and businesses. "The development has only helped Clearfield grow, only helped bringing people into the area or businesses like ours," Preston said. The owners said many people try a class without knowing what to expect and return because the workouts are challenging and social; they described the gym community as the "Scribe Family."

The co-owners said the gym has operated for three years and that "memberships are growing," but they did not provide specific membership counts or revenue figures during their remarks. They also said they intend to remain in Clearfield long term: "We're here for the long haul. We love our Clearfield residents and, beyond," Suzanne said.

The comments focused on the business's experience and observations about local economic activity; no formal council action, budget request, or legislative proposal tied to the remarks was recorded in the provided transcript.
