About Us
The Fitness Forum was a gym located in Florence, S.C. and opened in 1984 by Bruce Hospital as the first hospital based Wellness Center in the state. The current owner and president of the Fitness Forum, Karen Leatherman, opened and operated the facility for the hospital. Karen has a Masters in Exercise Physiology and is a Certified Exercise Specialist by the the American College of Sports Medicine. Beginning in 1988 the Fitness Forum began testing firefighters annually. In 2000, Leatherman purchased the business and established KAL, Inc dba Fitness Forum. This included a gym and Occupational Testing Services.
In 2010 due to the demand for onsite testing, a full-time director, Juanice Floyd, was hired to develop Occupational Testing Services. She has a business degree and began working in Industrial Health and Wellness in 1993. She has the following Certifications: Certified Specimen Collector & Trainer. This covers DHHS Mandatory Guidelines DOT 49CFR Part 40 Certified Technician & Instructor. Also she has received certification to perform SHOEBOX Audiometry testing.
Joel Dekle, MD is our Medical Director. Dr. Dekle is board certified in Family Medicine and has 50+ years experience.
The Gym was sold in 2020 and now all services are mobile.
