    Additional business information

    Additional Info:
    BBB did an investigation into the marketplace practices of Gym HQ, Lighthouse Fitness Management and Pure Core Personal Training as they all had the same address of at 303 Research Drive Ste. 150 Norcross, GA 30092.

    BBB received the following information from Walter Watson with Pure Core explaining this matter:

    Gym HQ is a third party back office solution for a variety of fitness companies, and is located at 303 Research Drive Ste. 150 Norcross, GA 30092.
    Pure Core PT is a client of Gym HQ, where GHQ handles the customer service, payroll, accounting, operations, legal, and past due communication services for the business.

    Lighthouse Fitness is a client of Gym HQ, where GHQ handles the customer service, payroll, accounting, operations, legal, and past due communication services for the business.

    The common address shared between the three organizations is due to the fact we process their Customer Service, BBB, and Attorney General correspondence for these clients from our office.

    The website "advertisements" in question are marketing towards owners of health clubs and studios, which PCPT and Lighthouse license services to. Neither company markets directly to consumers, except through the health clubs with which they have active license agreements. The claims stated regarding being the "premier personal training solution" is based in the context of outsourced personal training offerings to gym owners.

    Stephanie Maddox is the senior VP of Operations for Gym HQ, thus her name is listed in relation to our clients on some accounts, including PCPT and Lighthouse Fitness.

    Pure Core PT and Lighthouse Fitness are separate companies, and we receive complaints for each through separate channels in our ticketing system. Each has a unique username and password, but there should be no co-mingling of scores or responses between the businesses.
