SMAS - news) is pleased to announce that they will open their doors to their expanded NYC location in the fall of 2007. The planning and design phase of the construction of the 3500 sq. ft. location is complete and will soon expand Somatics Systems' presence in the thriving Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca.
Somatic Systems, Inc. (The company is excited about the upgraded space because of its proximity to the city's arts, theater, restaurant and financial districts. The space will house a large open area for public exercise classes, each partitioned with glass walls, a newly renovated treatment room and a locker room complete with shower. The sessions in NYC will be very profitable and the expansion will allow for 4 simultaneous full-time practitioners, each scheduling up to 20 sessions weekly. The company plans to increase staff at the NY location, begin a steady schedule of exercise classes and increase sales of private sessions and products.
The 3500 square foot facility provides for a combination of session rooms and movement classrooms. In the future, there is capacity to increase the space to 5000 square feet while keeping the existing footprint. The future expansion of the business in NYC will be realized using a larger classroom space and four or five new treatment rooms, enabling 8 or 10 or more additional full-time practitioners.
In addition, Somatics Systems has begun the application process to become licensed with the New York State Department of Education, with plans to begin the Clinical Somatic Education Professional Training Program there in fall 2008.
"Running the Professional Training Program in New York City will be exciting and will continue our nationwide expansion," said CEO, Steven Aronstein. "The renovation of the Tribeca location will allow us to promote awareness of the brand in a large metropolitan city, increase traffic to the clinic and support Somatic Systems products and services. We are planning for this location to add significantly to our revenue stream over the next few years."
