According to the relocation-management company 300 Decisions a successful transition requires at least nine months of lead time In addition to the monetary costs, which can vary widely depending on business type, hidden costs can start to add up in terms of lost productivity Weinheim said her careful preparation paid off with a 40% increase in membership in the year since the relocation and expansion How Weinheim went about planning and executing a coordinated move is a lesson for other entrepreneurs looking to expand their businesses' physical footprints and avoid expensive mistakes that drive customers away.  "It felt like we weren't the new place in Tarpon and we were losing members to bigger clubs," she said in an interview with Business Insider was small and broken up into separate rooms — not the open floor-plan that has become more popular among gymgoers in recent years "I saw potential for growth," Weinheim said "I knew we could be so much more if we had room for it." With no experience designing or building out a new gym including city representatives who happened to be gym members and the team at Anytime Fitness' national offices Luckily a former Dollar General store was available just a half-mile away with twice as much floor area so Weinheim bought it and began transforming it into the new home for her business the gym's aging equipment was in need of reinvestment she bought new weights and machines and had them delivered and installed there she printed posters to hang in the original gym's lobby with concept images to highlight the new features and shared videos on her social-media channels to keep members informed about the progress Weinheim made one last round of online and in-person announcements to members and managed to make the final move on one Sunday in May Choreographing the move to happen within 24 hours was essential because many of her clients are accustomed to having unfettered access around the clock but they were blown away with the upgrade," she said I can only imagine what people thought of that location." From the Anytime Fitness corporate parent office to other local gym owners Weinheim said she sought and received critical support "The whole thing could have been a disaster without the right people," she said Weinheim also asked other local business owners for their preferred movers and installers to make sure her business was in the hands of reputable professionals and I didn't always choose the lowest one," she said and I could only wonder why they were so much less." and electricians who were familiar with local regulations were worth their premium price but Weinheim said quality work could still go over budget The cost of renovations alone on the former retail building ran to more than $300,000 "You're going to need more money," she said "Whatever they quote you is going to expand." Weinheim refers to her gym as a family and says that the family can keep growing thanks to the move In addition to retaining her team from the original location she has hired two new trainers and expanded membership by 40% Now everyone has a bit more elbow room to work You do not have access to www.researchgate.net The site owner may have set restrictions that prevent you from accessing the site villages and its fruit trees that bloom here earlier than almost anywhere else in Germany it runs for about 33 miles to the banks of the Neckar River at Heidelberg we drove the Bergstrasse from north to south we followed the signs to Malchen and Seeheim-Jugenheim along highway B3 you might get a peek at the twin towers of Frankenstein castle on a hill behind the town you’ll see orchards on both sides of the road — especially now in the spring when the fruit trees bloom in vibrant shades of white Emperor Joseph II supposedly remarked while visiting the Bergstrasse in the spring of 1764 that “.. this is where Germany begins to become Italy.” The region can thank the Odenwald for its mild climate and early blooming flora offers enough protection from the cold eastern winds for the Bergstrasse to have higher average annual temperatures than most of Germany the two villages that make up the hyphenated municipality are known for their high-priced real estate But Seeheim has a 16th century town hall that is a fine example of half-timbered architecture of the period Zwingenberg was the first town on the Bergstrasse to be awarded the right to call itself a city The medieval old town climbs the hillside along narrow cobblestone lanes to the 13th century Bergkirche Zwingenberg is the first town on the Bergstrasse with its old center dominated by half-timbered houses It is also the first one along the way surrounded by vineyards The Bergstrasse is the second smallest wine region in Germany Next stop on the road is the village of Auerbach you’ll see Auerbach Castle towering above it it offers an excellent view of the Odenwald the Bergstrasse and the Rhine River valley the summer residence of the counts of Hesse-Darmstadt is on the outskirts of town in the middle of a large park that is worth visiting Bensheim dates to 765 and the years have left much to see a lively marketplace and a large pedestrian shopping area are among them When the weather is warm people fill the outdoor cafes and in the fall the town hosts a popular wine festival An acquaintance once remarked that there are only two times a year to visit the Bergstrasse — in spring when it’s in bloom and in the fall when the grapes are ripe Grapes have been ripening in the vineyards around Heppenheim ever since the Romans brought viticulture to the area about 2,000 years ago Highlights of Heppenheim are the Marktplatz (marketplace) and city hall 18th century half-timbered houses and the market fountain topped by an 18th century Madonna which is sometimes called the cathedral of the Bergstrasse Wachenburg was built early in the 20th century by local fraternities in memory of their members killed in the 1870-71 war against France The ruins are owned by the city and can be visited either by driving up a winding road or hiking up a well-marked path Weinheim’s restaurant-lined marketplace might be the place to find it which invites one to a nice post-lunch stroll past flower beds An open stream flows where tanners once worked animal hides for leather small squares and colorful flower boxes is worth the visit take a walk through the vineyards to Strahlenberg castle before the final jaunt down the Bergstrasse to Heidelberg but the best time is between late March and October The ones in Bensheim and Weinheim are most popular Getting there: The Bergstrasse runs along federal highway B3 a good place to start is at Malchen or Seeheim-Jugenheim the Heidelberg district of Neuenheim is a good starting point Parking: All the towns have free parking for an hour and sometimes two if you use a parking dial Any longer and you’ll probably have to pay Bicycling: It’s mostly flat biking down; the tough spots are where the town centers are uphill from the highway (Heppenheim Hiking: Most of the towns have marked paths through the vineyards and orchards One trail leads from Zwingenberg to Heppenheim the vintners offer their wines at stands along the way Information: Online: diebergstrasse.de (in German) Heppenheim and Weinheim all have tourist information offices The Bauhaus vibe is strong inside this Weinheim villa by Jan and Waldemar Lippert Built in a boxy post-war modern style, the hillside German property retains original 1963 finishes across its interior spaces The living room and dining area feature a continuous wall of windows while the 1960s kitchen has been very gently updated Timber slatter ceilings and wooden cabinetry, and a mix of tiled and wooden floors run throughout the home, for sale via Heimburger Immobilien for € 1.39m.

Its world-famous Tuscan rival now leans a modest 3.97 degrees, having been adjusted from 5.5 degrees over the past 30 years to stop it toppling over It also beats the fortress tower of the village of Dausenau 35 miles to the north which tilts by an impressive 5.24 degrees but has not made it into the record books because it is classified as a ruin This 15th-century church in Suurhusen is the present record holderALAMYThe Leaning Tower of Pisa is leaning less than it used to because of engineering workALAMY“Our ‘world’s most 2020 started strong for Hollie DiGiorgio and her Anytime Fitness gym in Tarpon Springs She had recently moved her business into a new location doubling its size and boosting its membership by over 40% The industry was on track to reach $106 billion and the Anytime Fitness brand was expanding quickly "It's very hard to work so hard and then take 20 million steps back with something that's completely out of your control," DiGiorgio said Business Insider spoke with DiGiorgio about how she's navigating this extraordinarily challenging moment for her business and her customers alike When public health officials ordered businesses to close in March to slow the spread of the coronavirus DiGiorgio and her team were suddenly busy — not with training clients but processing account freezes and cancellations but DiGiorgio was committed to keeping her staff together and being flexible with members who's lives and careers were being upended in real-time 'what is fair for our members,'" DiGiorgio said "So we sent an email blast out to all of our members offering to freeze their memberships for free." Some members however responded with requests to pay in advance as a show of support for the gym and DiGiorgio remained in frequent communication over email and social media to hear what the fitness community needed most "The biggest deal for us is we don't want our clients just to stop," DiGiorgio said we can't have them stop reaching their goals DiGiorgio wanted to ensure that those members who were sticking with her got some value for their dollars where personal trainers and group instructors could continue working virtually with clients "We had our trainers training clients using either FaceTime or Zoom in from their homes," DiGiorgio said She even went a step further and turned her gym into an equipment library of sorts so that members could borrow the necessary gear to stay in shape "We actually lent out dumbbells," DiGiorgio said "We would find out what weight they needed and they could swing by and pick them up." More recently the gym began offering six-week "Comeback Challenges" that are helping motivate current members and reach new ones too Compared with her original location, the current gym has twice as much space and is far easier to keep clean "We spaced out all of our cardio equipment six feet apart and all of our other equipment is pretty spread out enough that people can keep social distancing," she said The new facilities also enable trainers and clients to work in their own space which is helping to drive new membership growth as well "Cancellations have slowed down from what they were and we're seeing where we can start growing back," DiGiorgio said "The last thing I would want to do is shut my doors," she added "You just have to fight as much as you can the church tower of the German town of Suurhusen went into the books as the most leaning tower in the world it now has to pass its title to the Leaning Tower of Gau-Weinheim in the German Alzey-Worms district The new record holder still houses parish bells that ring thrice daily It is located 25 kilometres south of Mainz The Suurhusen tower has attracted many tourists as it even achieved a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
