A new gym has opened in Gray
Fitness Inferno, a new gym, has opened in Gray recently, providing new and different health and fitness options for residents of Jones County.
Rob Daughtry and Eddie Wright, owners and health partners of Fitness Inferno, said they are happy to open the gym. The new gym is located at 510 Settlement Point Road in Gray, and staff is available Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Wright said he’s from Milledgeville, but he’s been in Jones County since 1998. He said he enjoys the community environment of Jones County.
“You have everyone looking out for each other,” he said. “It’s just homey to me. We have a great school system here.”
He said the gym is split up in different sections, which makes it easier for people to find where they want to be and reach their goals. He said there are so many clubs out there that just want to take people’s money, but they want to help people reach their fitness goals in a comfortable environment at Fitness Inferno.
“Fitness Inferno is supposed to be different. There are already existing health clubs in town, but we don’t want to be like them,” Wright said. “When Rob approached me about opening up Fitness Inferno, I told him I wanted it to be different. It’s a full-service facility, appealing to all different types of people.”
Daughtry said he’s lived in Jones County his entire life and he enjoys the town. He said he wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
“The small-town flavor allows you to do things you can’t do in a big city. You build up relationships with people here. It’s such a great family environment,” he said.
He said Fitness Inferno is a multi-purpose gym. He said they have a power section, cardio section, a general fitness area, a spin room for spin classes, tanning and a group strength training area. He said there is a sauna, too.
“Eddie and I have been friends for many years, and I wanted to open up a health club with someone. I’ve had four health clubs, and my first opened in 1998,” he said. “Over that time, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. Eddie and I really complement each other since he brings to the table things I’m not good at and vice versa.”
Wright said basic membership starts at $29 per month, and there is a 12 month commitment. He said there are other membership options for people to check out also.
“The community was missing that personal service. There are other facilities available here, but our design is completely different. We are going to give you the equipment, but we are also going to give you the attention,” the health partner said.
He said they have a real desire to give back to Jones County at Fitness Inferno. He said their pay off is the success stories they hear and see at the gym.
“We want to be in the business of improving the lifestyles of the people in the county we love,” Wright said. “Everybody needs personal fitness. Everyone can stand to live healthier, and we want to be here to help with that.”
