Unleash Your Inner Warrior at Conquer Fitness, LLC

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Scott and Caroline McNeil, owners of Conquer Fitness LLC located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway Unit A202 in City Marketplace, to learn more about their business.

Scott holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition from the University of North Florida and is the Head Trainer at Conquer Fitness LLC.

We asked Scott how long he had been in the fitness industry. “I’ve been personal training in town since about 2008. I started out part-time. While I was personal training, I went back to school, got my bachelor’s in nutrition, and continued personal training and working a full-time job. I kept building my clientele over the years. And as my clientele grew, Caroline and I were talking about potentially opening up a business. We had found a space to lease and we were all set to open in early 2020. This all happened right before the shutdown with Covid,” he told us.

His wife Caroline added, “When the shutdown happened, he went the online platform route during Covid. This way he still able to bring the brand Conquer Fitness to light during Covid and started with an online private group where he would do live workouts and people could join in and watch those and do the workouts. We were doing that every day, multiple times a day. We also had a few other trainers at the time doing it.  When gyms opened back up and people slowly started to come back out, Scott was training at another gym, and then his clientele kept growing. We wanted to be able to provide a certain type of service to people. And this place gives us the ability to provide that type of service to clients. It’s the small space. A lot of people don’t like to work out in front of other people. For a lot of women, it’s a personal thing. And it’s intimidating. And so this gives the ability to provide that small group atmosphere or one-on-one training where there’s nobody else in here or there’s just a few people. We secured this space in April of 2022 and officially opened in early May.”

Scott said, “So, the nice part about having this facility is when you do personal training, it’s a premium service, right? When you are training in a regular commercial gym, you might get stuck where you can’t use a certain piece of equipment or do what you want to do that day. Or your trainer can’t do what they want to do with you that day because the equipment is being occupied by regular gym members. When you come into a place like this, you have access to what your trainer wants to do as you are getting a premium service within a private facility.”
