## Story

“Fitness Machine Technicians has continued to carve a niche with its service offerings, especially at a time when more both consumers and fitness companies are prioritizing safety and reliability in their workout equipment,” said Jason Pritchard, interim chief executive officer of Fitness Machine Technicians. “We’re excited with the addition of service-minded entrepreneurs like Claudio and Ike, who understand the value of customer service and providing quality equipment maintenance solutions. We look forward to seeing the impact we know they are going to make in their local communities.”

The new Fitness Machine Technicians franchise in Massachusetts is led by local entrepreneur Ike Okonkwo, who provides fitness equipment repair and maintenance for commercial and residential customers in the Boston community. Spearheading the brand’s growth into Ontario is entrepreneur Claudio Capobianco, who is set to open his Fitness Machine Technicians business in April in Toronto.

Fueling the development is the introduction of its Certified Fitness Equipment Technician Program last year, which provides classroom, hands-on, video and field training to equip technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary for repairs and preventive maintenance.
