BOUNTIFUL — Swiss Boy, located at 305 North 200 West in Bountiful, is helping other businesses save money.

Recently they’ve installed new LED-lighting systems that use one-tenth the electricity of standard outdoor lights and can last as many as 100,000 hours, according to a press release.

Each light is custom cut and installed for each building at a cost of roughly $25 per foot installed. So far the company has installed lights in two local companies —their own Swiss Boy company as well as Ray’s Muffler at 700 South, 500 West in Bountiful — and have seen initial success in popularity.

Fitness center offers help

NORTH SALT LAKE — BodyFit, a local business located in North Salt Lake, is offering an alternative to the typical gym membership for those wanting to get fit.

The fitness center announced last week that they will be offering personal trainers and fitness professionals at the price of a typical membership.

“It’s an ideal situation for frequent travelers and clients with busy schedules,” said Matt Neve, BodyFit’s founder. “Why would they pay for a gym membership they never use when they can work one-on-one with an expert and get better results?

“It just makes sense and saves time and money. They can train in our facility, or in their home for even more convenience.”

Neve was recognized as one of Utah’s Fittest Executives by Utah Business magazine, and also specializes in executive and corporate fitness.

“I enjoy working with people who expect results,” he said. “Our clients are extremely busy and working with a trainer means they can make the most of every minute they invest in their workout.”
