4 Commissioner Fynewever expressed concern with the fact that loud music may be coming from Fit 4 Life and feared that this may impact the surrounding businesses. Mr. Maravelas stated music will be played during classes. He explained he would only be sharing one wall with another business and noted a buffer wall would be created around the workout room to assist with capturing sound. Commissioner Miwa inquired what the businesses growth potential was for this site. Mr. Maravelas discussed his plans for the property and noted he had no plans to create a full-fledged gym, but rather to offer more classes. Councilmember Strub asked if this was a move for the business or an expansion. Mr. Maravelas stated he would be moving his business to New Brighton. He explained he would have one full-time employee, himself and his wife along with a handful of part time employees. Councilmember Strub welcomed Mr. Maravelas to New Brighton. Commissioner Fynewever asked if this gym would require patrons to check-in through social media. Mr. Maravelas stated clients were not required to check-in but if they chose to do so, Fit 4 Life would donate 40 cents to a local charity.
