Planet Fitness founder brings new club to NE Phoenix area
Posted: at 4:28 am
by Eugene Scott - Jun. 29, 2012 03:52 PM The Republic | azcentral.com
The founder of Planet Fitness is bringing a new health club to northeast Phoenix.
Rick Berks, founder of YouFit, a new fitness center, is opening a location in July.
YouFit is based in St. Petersburg, Fla. The newest location will open in the strip mall on the southeast corner of Tatum Boulevard and Greenway Road.
YouFit hopes to open five more Valley locations, according to its website. Locations in Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Peoria and Tolleson are expected before the end of the year. There are locations at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road in Phoenix, 35th Avenue and Bethany Home Road in Phoenix, Glendale and Chandler.
"We've had success really everywhere we've gone. We space them out. It's not an exact science," Berks said. "We do retro fits of buildings and go to different markets and look for sites that will work for us."
The chain has nearly 50 locations under construction nationally.
Like many boutique gyms that have popped up in northeast Phoenix, YouFit markets itself as a fitness center for "regular people."
"Our clubs are geared more to the average person who is going to get in shape," Berks said. "We're more fitness-oriented. It's not geared towards the bodybuilder type or the triathlete or professional athletes."
Bob Glazar, 58, lives in central Phoenix and joined the YouFit at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road after his previous gym raised its rates.

Guardian Retirement Solutions™ Launches New 401(k) Fee Disclosure Website
Posted: at 4:28 am
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian) today announced the launch of a new website to help plan sponsors and plan participants navigate the increasingly complex 401(k) marketplace.
Effective July 1, 2012, The Department of Labors (DOLs) new requirements for plan service providers to begin providing plan sponsors with enhanced fee disclosure went into effect. Guardian Retirement Solutions launched Understanding Plan Fees (www.guardianretirement.com/understandingfees) to provide information and tools to help plan participants and plan sponsors understand their retirement plan fees, the services they pay for and the value the different service providers bring to the table. The website is open to any individual or company.
Simply providing a statement without any explanation has the potential to confuse and frustrate plan participants. Guardians website educates the consumer by providing information on not only the fees they are paying but the services and value that different players involved in administering a 401(k) provide, said Jason Frain, Vice President, 401(k) Product Management and Development, Retirement Solutions. At the end of the day, its important for sponsors and participants to understand who is working on their behalf to ensure they have a tax-deferred benefit to save for retirement.
The Guardian website includes a host of tools and educational resources, including:
Shortly following the changes on July 1, plan sponsors will begin providing their participants with annual and quarterly information about plan and investment fund fees and expenses. Fee disclosure focuses on the DOLs initiatives to increase transparency surrounding plan and investment expenses as they impact plan sponsors and participants.
Its impossible to assess the fees on your 401(k) statement unless you understand the services different providers are performing. Guardians Understanding Plan Fees (www.guardianretirement.com/understandingfees) lays out in plain English the team of players who each provide unique services and expertise to create a great retirement solution, said Frain. . In the final analysis, its important to understand the value you receive for the fees you pay.
About Guardian

US High Performance Composites Market
Posted: at 4:28 am
NEW YORK, July 2,2012 /PRNewswire/ --Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
US demand to grow 15% annually through 2016
US demand for high performance composites -- polymer materials containing advanced fiber reinforcements -- is forecast to grow 15 percent per year to $10.3 billion in 2016. Advances will represent a considerable improvement over the pedestrian growth of the 2006- 2011 period, during which time composite demand was hampered by a weak aerospace market and declines in military applications. Going forward, high performance composite demand will be aided by strong growth in the commercial airliner market, as well as emerging opportunities in applications such as wind turbines and pressure vessels. However, the high cost and labor-intensive production of advanced composites compared to competitive materials will prevent these materials from penetrating more highvolume and price-sensitive applications. High performance composites are high strength, high stiffness materials that feature lighter weight and better durability than aluminum and other metals. Historically, these composites have been confined to military uses and high-end sporting goods due to their much higher prices compared to conventional glassfiber composites and metals. However, better production processes, the development of lower-cost carbon fibers, and a greater focus on lighter-weight components have allowed advanced composites to attract more widespread attention.
Aerospace, wind turbine markets to see best growth
Aerospace markets will remain the leading outlet for high performance composites in 2016, and will be by far the fastest-growing market. While composites have long been used in military aircraft and helicopters, they are beginning to penetrate the commercial airliner segment on a large scale as well. In particular, the production ramp up of the Boeing 787 DREAMLINER, which has more than 50 percent composite content, will stimulate the bulk of gains in high performance composite demand. Rising production of other composite-intensive aircraft, such as the Airbus A380 and A350 XWB, will also benefit demand. Outside of the aerospace applications, a strong area of growth for high performance composites is the burgeoning wind energy market. In wind energy, advances will be fueled by rising wind turbine installations as states seek to meet renewable energy generation standards, as well as increased use of carbon fiber composites. Much slower growth is expected for defense and safety applications -- due to reduction of combat forces in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and the highly mature sporting goods market. The motor vehicle market, which holds perhaps the greatest potential for high performance composites, will see only moderate gains in demand, as widescale, large-volume use of automotive composites will continue to be restrained by high cost and slow production speeds.
Carbon fiber composites to remain dominant
Among product types, carbon fiber composites will continue to account for the largest portion of demand, totaling 84 percent of the high performance market in 2016. Carbon fiber composites will benefit from robust growth in the aerospace market, as well as their versatility, good balance of mechanical properties, and moderate cost compared with other high performance composites. S-glass fiber composites -- the lowest-priced of all advanced composites -- will also see double-digit gains in demand, fueled by opportunities in aerospace, wind energy, and pressure vessel markets. More moderate gains are forecast for composites based on aramid and other fibers, restrained by the slower-growing defense and safety composites market.
Study coverage
This upcoming industry study, High Performance Composites, presents historical demand data (2001, 2006, 2011) plus forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by fiber, market and resin. The study also considers market environment factors, assesses industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles US industry competitors.
