History

Established in 1985.

HomeFit Exercise Equipment first opened the doors in fall of 1985, across the street from the historic Walper Terrace Hotel on Queen Street in Kitchener, Ontario.

From this tiny… and we mean tiny… spot, people from all over the Kitchener-​Waterloo area came to shop for quality exercise equipment … and bikes!

To complement the seasonal nature of exercise equipment sales, John Carter, founder of HomeFit sold high-​quality outdoor bicycles. After several years though, John returned to selling only treadmills, exercise bikes and weight training equipment.

Just before the turn of the 21st century, HomeFit moved to its current location on Victoria Street North to a much bigger, brighter and more accommodating location.

Sadly, in May of 2012, John Carter passed away from cancer at the young age of 60. Before his passing, John worked to ensure his legacy lived on in the hands of Kim Neziol, his trusted sales manager of 25 years.
