Although we were born in the Carolina’s over 30 years ago, we now represent customers and projects through the country.
Rather than assigning customers to a specific commercial consultant based on a specific territory (like most others companies in our industry), we take new clients thru an initial discovery analysis to learn specifics about their project like their initial goals, demographics, and particular product applications.
From there, we assign the expert consultant, best suited to meet the client’s project needs.

I learned early on that fitness was not just a short-term solution but a long-term commitment, and this belief has really been re-enforced during these Covid months. You usually begin working out in your 20’s for vanity, you continue thru your 30’s and 40’s as a natural way to reduce the stresses of work, family, kids & finances. By the time you hit your 50s, you’re finally smart enough to see fitness for all its health benefits -Keep Moving!
My 31 years of fitness industry experiences offer our customers a unique prospective, as I have truly been on every side or our industry:
10- years: owned and operated health club
5-years: Served as a Senior Manager at the largest Fitness Manufacture in the world, Life Fitness
15 and counting: President of US Fitness Products, the oldest and largest fitness dealer and service provider in the Carolinas
Happy Place: Spending time at the lake with my family wake surfing, walking and floating!
Magical Moment: watching my TCU Frogs beat Texas at a game in Ft. Worth, TX with my wife and kids! It was especially great because my business partner attended Texas!

Being in the fitness industry the better part of three decades my career path has seen many roles. Utilizing my education background in Sports Medicine from East Carolina University, I began working in health clubs as a personal trainer. Working my way up through the ranks from management to regional management over multiple locations to eventually owning my own gym, I have been blessed to foster many acquaintances in this great industry. After selling my gym in the early 2000s, I took a break from the fitness industry to explore new ventures. This exploration led me to IT and Cisco Systems where I spent the better part of the past decade. Recently the opportunity presented itself to return to my health and fitness roots with US Fitness Products and the ability to once again combine one of my passions with my career. With technology changing so many industries, fitness is certainly not the exception. I look forward to combining my knowledge in both to create lifelong customers for US Fitness Products.

Little known fact: It’s actually no secret, but I am a HUGE Carolina Tar Heels fan. My father passed down the love for the Heels to me, so you could say I’m “Born-N-Bred.” I bleed Carolina blue.

Gina Josey
Being a studio owner and a YMCA fitness director prior to entering the sales industry has equipped me with the tools needed to help my customers from start to finish. While providing quality equipment is a key aspect to our business, it’s the service we provide after the sale which has allowed me to create and maintain many long-term customer relationships.

Kylie Packard
I started working at US Fitness directly after graduating college from High Point University in 2015. I have always been interested in fitness, as I grew up with parents who have conquered the industry. Since I can remember, it has always been a huge part of my life and I am a big advocate for the benefits it has on not only the body, but the mind. Oh also, those parents I was talking about earlier? Well, Dad is my boss 😉
Interesting fact: Not only do I work with dad, but also alongside my brother and my husband! Who I met here. Pretty dang lucky! To THEM I am a ‘daughter’, a ‘wife’, and a ‘sister’, but to YOU – well, you can consider me as ‘The Flooring Girl’! I cant wait to meet you!
