The entire Pagourgis family – down to its pug Sirius Black, who serves as company mascot – is committed to fitness and nutrition. Two years ago, wife-and-husband team Barbara and Tony Pagourgis founded Commit Fitness in Leominster. Since the founding, the couple has worked with local physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and other health professionals to provide a comprehensive and solid program, so they feel confident sending their patients and clients to for follow-on care. The company judges itself by its member retention rate, which has remained high since 2014.
As owners of a family-owned and operated business, Barbara and Tony work seven days a week together, but take care to keep Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon for themselves, usually enjoying dinner together Saturday nights. Sunday afternoons are usually spent preparing nutritious meals for the week ahead. These times are very important to them. Their daughter Brittany is the yoga instructor at Commit Fitness, in addition to her day job as a social worker for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families in Leominster. The couple’s other child, Matt, lives in California, but he helps on the marketing side of the business by writing and creating the fitness videos that are posted on the Commit Fitness website and social media.
