[ Q ] How did the gym start and why did you decide to begin (or work within) the gym business?
It was originally 3,700 sq ft Gold's Gym in Flemington. Faith Cust the current owner's wife was an employee of the gym. She always had an undying love for fitness and then in 1998 her husband, the current owner (Jack Cust) bought Gold's Gym with the vision of creating one of the most state-of-the-art gyms in the area.
3 years later in 2001 HealthQuest opened it's doors and the dream became a reality.
