Long-time MetroWest businessman and resident Kenneth Fischer will be honored in Natick.
A long-time MetroWest businessman and resident who passed away recently will be honored in Natick at the grand-opening of a fitness center that is using an exercise product he invented.
Kenneth A. Fischer Sr. was the founder of Total Body Solutions, which opened 1999 and had six locations around the country, including in Framingham. He was always involved in fitness, said his daughter Diana Fischer-Schipke, whether it was playing two seasons with the Chicago Cubs minor league team, as a sporting goods manufacturer representative or in his last business venture as an entrepreneur bringing his invention -- Hydrobics -- to market. Fischer passed away Jan. 10.
He will be honored at the ribbon cutting at GravOxy Fitness in Natick Wednesday night. The facility uses Fischer’s Hydro Family Fitness product, a collection of workout equipment that uses water to provide resistance. Fischer was a big name throughout MetroWest and an inspiration to many people, said GravOxy Founder Joanne Schmalenberger.
"He always had this passion of helping people," she said.
Fischer’s daughter and his wife Carolyn will be at the ribbon cutting, as will members of the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce. Chamber President and CEO Paul Joseph is scheduled to speak.
“He would have been very honored and thankful,” Fischer-Schipke said of her father being recognized for his fitness work in MetroWest.
