Celebrating our 1st Year of Business in Brunswick!

It's hard to believe that it was one year ago today that I opened the doors of my very own franchise location of Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in Brunswick, Maine!  So much has happened over the past year and it's simply incredible to be celebrating our first year in business.  

When I set out to develop my business plan and assess the feasibility of this business venture I had two goals in mind.  #1:  To make a positive impact in people's lives, and #2:  to get closer to my local community.

I am absolutely ecstatic to have reached both of those goals and achieved so much more over the past 12 months.  Not only have we welcomed 78 participants into our KickStart program, and over 100 clients, we have built an amazing community with the help of each and every person who has been a part of it.

Every day I go into work and am greeted by incredible people who have made a commitment to living a happy and healthy life and I am honored to be a part of it.
​
Through our programs we have supported people in their goals of reducing or eliminating medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, depression, anxiety, and more.  ​​

We have helped people avoid surgeries, helped improve relationships with friends & families, improved feelings of overall well being, and have welcomed people into a culture & community where they can make themselves a priority while growing through their own personal journey.

​I am so proud of the incredible community that we have at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in Brunswick and couldn't be more excited to embark on my 2nd year with an incredible team and a kind, caring and simply amazing community of clients.

During our first week in business we offered free training sessions to the community with the request of a donation of either cash or much needed supplies, all to support Midcoast Humane.  Together we raised nearly $1000 and collected multiple boxes of supplies to support the animals who make a stop at Midcoast Humane in search of their forever homes.

This past November we hosted our first Burpees for Turkeys fundraiser event in support of Good Shepherd Food Bank, and raised over $3000, contributing to a grand total, in combination with the Bangor location, of $10,354!

And as if this wasn't enough, I am honored to have met numerous amazing people in our local community.  I've had the opportunity to support several projects with my local Rotary Club, volunteer for events with my local Chamber of Commerce, connect with incredible physical therapists, massage therapists and chiropractors, all of whom are committed to supporting a healthy community.

I feel an incredible sense of gratitude for everyone who has supported me, trusted in me, and welcomed me in various ways.  I couldn't have achieved so much if it were not for the people of the Brunswick community.  Thank you to all who have been there.  I am looking forward to what this new year has to bring.  To meeting new people, building upon our fund raising success so we can give back even more, growing as an individual and continuing to impact people's lives each day.  ​

I know that with every person I meet and strive to impact in a positive way that they are most definitely making a positive impact in my life. Through the stories that they share, the wisdom that they pass on, and the contribution that they make to everything that we stand for as a business - making the world a better place by helping people live their very best lives.  For that, I cannot thank you enough.

With Gratitude,

~Allison
