Tom Duke CEO/President
I worked in several different industries early in my life but I wanted to find something that would impact others. That is when I decided to turn my passion for working out and being healthy into a business that would help others live healthier lives. I was working for a fitness equipment store and realized I wanted to build my own business!
While living in Salem, NH, I started Fitness Equipment Etc. with a business partner in 1990 and we opened our first store in Auburn, MA. After a few years, I bought my partner out and soon sought out new space in a better location. We then moved across the street from Spags on Route 9 in Shrewsbury! In 2004, I bought my current building on Route 28 in Tax Free Salem, New Hampshire. I had reached a pinnacle in my business but decided to become more focused to ensure the longevity of my business, so in 2006 I sold my MA store, and focused on my Salem location. I’m so glad I did.
Fitness Equipment Etc., is location at 361 South Broadway, Salem, NH 03079
