Meet Our Owners

Lori and Jeff Granville

The Granville’s were searching for both a business opportunity and a lifestyle change when they came across Koko FitClub.  With backgrounds in the computer and software industry, both Lori and Jeff immediately understood the power of bringing technology to fitness. Says Lori, a Marketing VP for a large software company, “The concept was so compelling to me, I knew immediately that we had stumbled upon an idea that was almost too good to have not already been done.  It’s not like me to grab the phone and engage right away, but I did. We didn’t hesitate in signing on and we opened our first club just six months after our first meeting with Koko FitClub.”

The Granvilles are a busy family with three active, athletic sons and close ties to their community. They looked seriously at other businesses, but ultimately picked Koko because it is a business the whole family can be excited about. Explains Jeff, a former technology sales executive, “Koko has an element of social responsibility important to us and our kids.” Maintaining a healthy family/work balance and contributing to their community is of primary importance for the Granvilles. So, the more they learned about Koko, the better it looked. They are addressing a need in their community that Lori, as a busy professional, first recognized- a place for people like herself to get fit. “My life can be hectic, and for someone like me who doesn't particularly enjoy working out, if it’s not really convenient, I just won’t do it and I don't think that I’m alone in that kind of thinking.”  Jeff agrees, “Koko is a whole new way to exercise and not only do I believe that this will change how people look and feel, it will change how people feel about exercise. They will realize that it doesn't have to be an agonizing or time consuming process. It can be fast, efficient and even a little bit fun."
