Makis take over as new owners at Down Under Fitness Center

Parrottes continue to own and operate Physical Therapy Down Under

Some changes have happened at Down Under Fitness Center, though Kristi Parrotte, who founded the business with her husband, Daimon, said people won't see any changes in their other business, Physical Therapy Down Under.

She said they have sold the fitness center to Justin and Kari Maki from Chester, who have done an "amazing" job with Fitness Express there, and she and her husband are excited to see the changes they will bring to Fitness Down Under.

"Please welcome Justin and Kari," Kristi Parrotte said. "Down Under will continue to run as usual. The only change is we have some nice young blood in here for some fresh ideas and to make Down Under Fitness better than ever."

The Parrottes founded Physical Therapy Down under in 2000, and, when they moved to their present location at 820 Second St. West, added the fitness center.

Parrotte said they decided it was time to slow down a little and just operate the physical therapy business.

"It's exciting, and a little scary," she said, adding that they are looking forward to just working Monday through Friday and having more time to do some things outside of work including spending more time with their children.

She said she and Daimon also are looking forward to continue to see their physical therapy patients from the area.

"We are so thankful to all of our current patients and Down Under customers and appreciate the support we have received throughout the years and look forward to serving you for many years to come," Kristi Parrotte said.
