SPEAKERS
Speaker 1, Nestor Aparicio, April Fowler
Nestor Aparicio 00:00
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T. Am 1570 Towson, Baltimore. We are Baltimore positive, and I’m positively out here at beautiful Costas in Timonium, not the one in Dundalk. Don’t be a knucklehead like Damian O’Doherty drove to Dundalk for my Timonium blog a podcast. It’s all brought to you by the Maryland lottery. I have Raven scratch offs to give way. I’ve got a lucky batch. Had a couple of lucky winners out here so far today, Dave shining was our guest, Damian O’Doherty, and we’re gonna hear from Leonard Raskin during this weird ravens by week as well. Next week, we’re gonna be at State Fair in Catonsville in the morning, do a little breakfast, the version of the show, some chicken waffles. Will be at Cocos for crab cakes on the fifth of November and then the seventh, at Pizza John’s, where might get the crab cakes, but I’m probably going to get the french fries crinkle cut with the gravy. I’ve eaten too much today. I’ve already had a crab cake here. And with Planet Fitness is one of my long sponsors, people come up and they’re like, how do you stay so fit so felt at 57 years of age, and I’m like, Well, my partnership with Planet Fitness has kept me right and but a little down in that because I moved to Towson. I lived downtown. I had a Planet Fitness about three blocks from my house when I lived downtown for 19 years. Move that Towson, like, where’s my nearest location? And Q’s got me all set up down by Calvert Hall. And then I got a press release a month ago. And I’m always the last to know, and I’ll tell Justin and Karen and everybody over there about this, but I got it. I got a press release. It said, Planet Fitness coming to Timonium. And I’m like, I live there. I know where that is. So right across street here from Costas, our partners at Planet Fitness has sent April over to you’re not open yet, no, but I can smell it when I go by expectation ad in the front of right? Literally, I could smell it from here. I could walk to you from here. Planet Fitness in Timonium. Imagine that, right?
April Fowler 01:53
Yeah, we are super excited. So we’re really happy open this brand new club. We’re gonna have the latest cardio equipment, the weight train equipment. Of course, we’re gonna have the awesome hydro massage beds. So those are my favorite.
Nestor Aparicio 02:06
That’s my favorite too. After working. I like the bed better than the chair. The chair kind of punches me in the guts a little bit. It’s a little harsh, right? Yeah, like, runs up and down my bed. You know, it’s a little, like, easier on that watch rib cage a little bit. But that hydro thing is amazing. That’s made for a guy like me. It’s
April Fowler 02:23
definitely made for everybody. After working 10 hours, I get in the I get in the bed.
Nestor Aparicio 02:28
Well, listen, I told Justin this the other day, and I’ve told people with Planet Fitness, and Q knows this. And you know, everybody before that, it began as a very basic concept. You know, Planet Fitness and out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. My wife is New Hampshire, from the Granite State. So we were first in on Planet Fitness. But it began, you know, mall front, treadmills, weights, lunk, alarm, you know, judgment, free, all of those concepts. But I think from a from a workout standpoint, it’s become more of a lifestyle thing over the last 15 years worldwide. I mean, my girls open in Australia, in different places, but, but more than that, this is the new one. I haven’t been to the new one. I’ve been to New ish ones. I’ve been to renovated ones, remodel ones. I’ve been in the hydro beds. I’ve been in the chairs. That light therapy thing. I don’t even know
April Fowler 03:17
what that thing, yeah, therapy that helps if minus get irritations, varicose veins. It’s actually really, really helpful.
Nestor Aparicio 03:23
It made me calm, yes, and as you can tell, that’s hard to do. You know, it’s very hard to calm me down. So this new one, I’m really fascinated, because I was in the first iterations of these right to see how far to see cost is number two here, after being in the one in Dundalk, this is going to be the most modern one, probably in the whole chain, maybe in the whole world. When
April Fowler 03:44
it opens, it’s going to be the most modern one. We are not going to have the lunk alarm, so no more lung alarm. No, I don’t need it anymore. Not my location. I’m done with it. Yeah. And so we’re going to have plate loaded equipment. So the round plates are going to be able to put on the equipment. Okay, yeah, I want to
Nestor Aparicio 04:02
come over and train with you. This is You’re younger than me, right? I mean, this new fangled thing, we’re gonna keep that a secret myself. So I would just say, for someone that hasn’t been in a gym in a while, and I think you’re old enough to have been in gyms back in the old days, yeah, what would be modern because I just, I said, long, come on, we don’t have that anymore. And I’m like, Okay, well, so the new part of gyms and work, I remember when Nautilus came online. I mean, I’m the old Bally’s guy. I always joke about, back in 1983 I had a, yeah, this big membership. You had to spend all this money, all the things. Plan of fitness has never really been about affordable in the neighborhood, all of that, but the kind of equipment when I go sometimes I’m a little overwhelmed. When I come into a new gym, I look and say, what is that? I don’t recognize that. And I think that fitness has become that sort of a get introduced to something new, right? Get find a new piece of equipment you’ve never worked on. Learn how to work it.
April Fowler 04:59
That’s. Kind of new for me it is. So I’m excited to say we are going to have the fitness training instructor in the store the whole time. So if you want to, we have the free fitness training and we’re going to have the squat racks that aren’t assist. Okay, so those are awesome, especially at this club. We do some clubs are getting them, and we’re excited about that. And of course, this location is going to be open 24 hours,
Nestor Aparicio 05:21
seven days a week, 24 hours. So I’m, I’m totally the 4am guy. I’m the guy who gets up stupid early and I can come in, yeah, now that that’s it, that’s a game changer for me. It definitely is, because I’m not going to work out of one in the end, I’m going to be here. I’m just them. I mean, I’m going to be more of an odd hour
April Fowler 05:40
person? Well, some people have insomnia. I have insomnia, so I would love to be able to go to the gym at 330 in the morning, when my mind is just chattering. So
Nestor Aparicio 05:49
what’s your background? Tell me about like you’re you came in, you got all this energy, and all the PF people have that. I’m assuming you’ve been with the company a while, but there is something different about the energy when you go into Planet Fitness that I think is trained in, I don’t want to call it like when you’re on Southwest Airlines, they make jokes and they have a good time. It is a little different when you’re a different kind of brand than we are. And I definitely, I always try to say that to folks, that if you’ve been to the big muscle head gyms, and I mean, even the Bally saying was certainly walk around and it’s a social dis. And I like the social part. I like people and all that, but I definitely get a sense of plan of fitness as I get to be an old guy when I’m in with Q or different people, they’re like, Hey, man, what do you functionally need to work on? We’re not I’m not trying to get a date. I’m not trying to impress anybody on the beach. I’m trying to, like, make sure that I don’t pull my back out when I reach to the top shelf or something, I want to make sure I’m bringing groceries in the right way. You know what I mean, functional strength.
April Fowler 06:47
So Planet Fitness cares about you, so we’re the Ohana Groff partners, and Ohana means family. So when you come into Yeah, so when you come into our establishments, we’re going to treat you that way, and we don’t want you to sustain any injuries. So we’re gonna make sure that the trainer is out there assisting you in any way possible.
Nestor Aparicio 07:04
Well, I, you know, I need that. I need supervision. As you can tell here, April is here for Planet Fitness. So new locations is a bigger I’m sure I have people that have been in other planet fitness is like, um, I’ve been in eight or nine of them in the area. Couple of them since they’ve been remodeled like the reiters down road. Yes, that’s where I did my hydro, my light therapy. That’s a big space. That’s a bigger space than what I was accustomed to seeing in the original planet. Fitness is I have, excuse me, I haven’t been to your new space. I know you’re doing a little show me tour on Saturday. What am I gonna see when I come in from a space stamp. So it’s 17,642
April Fowler 07:43
square feet. It’s huge,
Nestor Aparicio 07:45
huge, as big as any in the chain, as big as any in the state.
April Fowler 07:49
So I think for me, this is the biggest one I’ve actually worked at, okay? And I think the biggest one, this might be the biggest one Catonsville was the biggest one that I worked at, but this is way bigger than Catonsville, way back. I
Nestor Aparicio 08:02
think it’s weird opening a new place in a place like here, where so many people are familiar with your brand, so many people have been down on York Road or been to the other other planet fitness is you’re starting sort of from scratch, right? Like literally have zero members at this location. My gosh, we’re between York York Road, between Timonium and padonia, right, right, you know, and right off 83 right on York Road. I can’t think of a more popular, maybe not here at the racetrack, but a more populated area and area to draw from. It’s kind of exciting, but kind of curious that, like it took him this long, and I’ve known, you know, Terry, Jerry, Jerry Justin, everybody in in the Ohana group, forever and ever. But I guess this, this is sort of hand picked when you’re when you’re finding these. This for far into the chain. It’s sort of like, hey, we have a place there that we could put one that we don’t have enough people. We can draw some people. This is a, it’s a grand opening. So I want to yell about this and tell people, Hey, we have one here. Now they’re all over the world. We got one right here. We got one and it’s a new one, and it’s a big one, and it’s got all the sexy bells and whistles and black, dark stuff and all that stuff. So I want to give you the oxygen to talk about everything, because you got notes here, I do. I have no All right, I’m super excited to be open this brand new location there. Let’s go. So I
April Fowler 09:16
really want to talk about this deal we have going on. So we’re running a special right now until Saturday. So if you do not take advantage of this, I love you, but you’re gonna miss out. Got 48 hours. Let’s go yes, so it’s gonna be $1 down for both Okay, so the $15 a month will be $1 down, okay? And then the cool thing, what they’ve done, and I’m so excited for this, they haven’t done this in like forever. They brought back the 1999 a month for the black card. Okay, they haven’t done that in forever.
Nestor Aparicio 09:43
Now, how long is that guaranteed? You for a year. So no, you’ll be locked in, oh, you’re locked into 20 a month. Now, what does that cost walking on the street?
April Fowler 09:50
So it’d be 20 a month. It’ll be $1 down, $20 a month. Now, if you don’t get it
Nestor Aparicio 09:56
on, does that make you work it at any
April Fowler 09:58
gym? You get access allocation. You get access to bring guests for free. You can get access to black card spa, half off on cooler drinks, the hydro massage bed, massage chair, the solar body enhancement. You’ll get all of that. But if you don’t take advantage of it, on Saturday, the 1999 is going to go away and it’ll go back up to 24 so that is the
Nestor Aparicio 10:17
sign up now, 20 forever. Yes, yes. All right. Well, I think the thing about Planet Fitness, and I, I always bring this up because I was 15 years old in Dundalk, we had the holiday it was called Holiday spoken, called Bally’s. It was called the holiday spot. So we’re going back 43 years now, and that was literally the only gym you could join. You know, there really weren’t any other gyms anywhere, ever, you know, in Dundalk, like the golds and all those other things that came way later. And when I went, it was in total, come on sale. Yeah, it was like a country club membership. It was like hundreds of dollars. Even then I’ve been talking 40 years ago, it’s hundreds of dollars to join, and then you were locked in forever. It was like a blood thing you wanted to get out of. You had to get a lawyer. It was crazy. What people I knew went through to join a gym, and now, like in the modern era, the gyms are a million times better, yes, cleaner, easier, open 24 hours a day. You go to anyone in the world, but it’s 20 bucks a month. I mean, like I often. I thought, when this thing started, when they came to me playing, how are you going to sustain this? And then I thought, well, for 20 bucks a month, it’s not that hard a decision. And I think if you’re really serious about your health, and you’re not one of those people that said to make the new year’s resolution and say, I’m going to do and I’m going to do, but if you really are a person that wants to get stronger, wants to get more fit, wants to be more active, wants to have a place for 20 bucks a month.
April Fowler 11:44
It’s not that bad. It’s really It’s affordable. It’s beyond affordable. Even if you got babies, you can come to the town well,
Nestor Aparicio 11:50
people spend all this money on cable television, sitting around, being sedentary. I promise you to hurt your back. It will. It will, as an old, skinny guy inside and stay, I only stay skinny because I do things, you know, I’m very active as well. Yeah, man, you got, well, look, I mean, that’s part of the being be a part of

Nestor Aparicio 16:53
fitness now, we would use your background. Where’s your other store before you came? Oh, I have
April Fowler 16:57
worked at multiple stores, so I’m from DC, so I worked at the PG Connie location and Hyattsville at the PG mall, so that’s where I originate from, but
Nestor Aparicio 17:05
that’s my parking spot when I went to AC DC, right? It is. I gave you so much love for that. Yeah? Because listen, you’re not one of those kind of fans. Are you? No, you’re not burgundy and gold. No,
April Fowler 17:19
I’m not. I’m actually a Dallas fan. They
Nestor Aparicio 17:23
don’t want to hear that in PG County, not this week especially. I’m a little allergic to that franchise as you That’s okay. I’m from Dundalk, Baltimore, right? History here, right? So I don’t want to offend any, yeah, I do. I don’t mind offending Washington football fans. I won’t use the offensive name of the old name or whatever, but people here have a really bad association with that stadium. They do. You know, people are like, let me do my Baltimore. But don’t know, I ain’t going down there and seeing a CD. She ain’t nowhere to park down there. I’m also Parker. I never gonna get home. You ever going to get home? You ever been trapped in a parking lot? And these are people that have never been, they don’t know, right? But they put the reputation, yeah, of that parking lot is is horrible. It’s horrible. So AC DC was playing in Pittsburgh and playing in DC. My wife and I seriously considered driving five hours to Pittsburgh and five hours back to see Angus do his thing, right? Yeah. And then tickets got cheap at the Northwest stadium, whatever row John, whatever they’re calling it. And I said to my wife, I’m like, let’s go down there. We’ll
April Fowler 18:33
park in the planet Exactly, exactly.
Nestor Aparicio 18:36
And we went down there, and I paid whatever 3040, bucks to park in. It’s the best decision. Well, I mean, it’s never a good decision to go to Washington football game, but if you have to go down there for Coldplay, for Taylor Swift, whatever you’re going for, yeah, right. So that is your lot, yes, all right, see that I love your parking lot. Yes, thank you. Yeah. Brought me. I’ve rocked I’ve let my hair out and rocked out.
April Fowler 19:01
Definitely, it’s and that’s where I originally from. But then I moved to Baltimore six years ago, and I’ve worked at Catonsville. I’ve helped cover Towson, Abingdon, Aberdeen. All the places I do crab cakes were, I mean, Catonsville Tuesday, yes, and, but I originate from Golden Ring location. Okay? I was there for nine years.
Nestor Aparicio 19:20
Kiss my first girl at Golden Ring mall movies back in the 70s. You know that’s true. Love.
April Fowler 19:25
It is. It is, did you keep her? It
Nestor Aparicio 19:27
was PG. Now she’s working on east side of town. She’s She married a friend. This is 1981 you’re too young. Do you remember Farrell’s ice cream?
April Fowler 19:36
So I don’t know, but you hear about it? I hear about it a lot. If you’re
Nestor Aparicio 19:40
golden ring. Farrell’s was the ice cream parlor. He will always tell me about it. They had a lunk alarm when you ordered the big thing. They go, whoo, whoo, and everything would go off. And yes, they would put the sparklers on the
April Fowler 19:52
cake. My breakfast club that comes in the morning to golden ring. They’re my breakfast club. I absolutely love they teach you about they teach me about it.
Nestor Aparicio 19:59
Love. Six, and that’s Rosedale on absolutely April’s here from Planet Fitness. So what is your favorite part of PF? I mean, if you’re if we’re just having a beverage together, not reading the corporate notes or any of that stuff, when you tell people I work at pF, I’m gonna manage a new store, it’s timoni. It’s 14 days under their feet big, and we have lunka low. We have no luck along. We have hydro and all that. I would say the thing that I like the most about it is the variety the equipment that when I go there, I don’t have any one thing. I have a body part I need to work on. And somebody smart like you will say, Hey, have you tried this contraption over here and done that? Don’t put too much weight on it. And I think that there’s a level of caring and people looking around and make sure people aren’t doing dumb stuff on equipment. Nobody’s getting
April Fowler 20:44
hurt. Yeah. So the thing I love about Planet Fitness is most is the they treat you like family. Ohana. Ohana, they definitely do when we have huddles. And I’m so excited because we have one tomorrow. I think we’re gonna have Chipotle.
Nestor Aparicio 20:56
They feed it. I hope the huddles are going better than the than the Ravens. Huddles have been going
April Fowler 20:59
late. Oh no. They’re going good. They’re actually really going good. They what is, what is,
Nestor Aparicio 21:03
I know you’re, you know, you have, like, a spirit about your team. I went to one of your Christmas parties. Many lovely, yeah. People were just having so much, so much fun, yeah? So, I mean, like, and everyone was younger than me, and at that time they were healthier. But then I found Planet Fitness, yeah, so, but I would just say, what’s a huddle? Because I know you, you have all of these fun sort
April Fowler 21:23
of, yeah, well, sometimes we have to, you know, pipe down and actually learn stuff. So the huddles can consist of things we need to learn that are new things that are coming to the company. The huddle tomorrow is just basically telling us what’s going on the company, what grand openings we’re having, or construction parties we’re having. Timonium Saturday. Be there 9am Yes, or the what new stores are opening, or they’re just basically giving us a rundown of what’s going on in the company. Planet Fitness lets you know what’s going on in the company when they treat when you are a manager, you know, everything you can pull the numbers. You can see what’s going on in the company. They really treat you with the utmost respect and like your family,
Nestor Aparicio 22:01
I’m getting a black card. Well, you’re 24 hours. That changes. How many are 24 hours in the area?
April Fowler 22:08
Most of the ones in the area are okay. The one that I don’t think is, is Dundalk, but I haven’t checked in with them in the
Nestor Aparicio 22:14
while. Nobody’s awake at that hour. And duck, I’m done, doctor,
April Fowler 22:17
okay. Well, I mean, but all the most, all the ones in my franchise are all 24
Nestor Aparicio 22:22
if you’re from Dundalk, you’re allowed to talk smack about dua but if you’re from Essex,
April Fowler 22:26
okay, I’m from neither, no.
Nestor Aparicio 22:29
So you’re from Dundalk, you talk smack about what you do. Okay? And golden rings is on the Essex side. Is that like in my Essex? No, that’s Rosedale. That’s Rosedale. I would call it Rosedale.
April Fowler 22:41
I mean, because the little sign says Rosedale, like, as you says, Welcome Rosedale.
Nestor Aparicio 22:46
Rosedale is the second best nickname for our name of a community, or my favorite, is paradise, Paradise that’s next to Catonsville. Okay,
April Fowler 22:53
yeah, I know. I remember paradise. You
Nestor Aparicio 22:55
drive out of Catonsville, the sign says paradise. It does like, why didn’t I go there? That sounds better than Catonsville. Yeah. I mean, I
Speaker 1 23:01
like Rosedale, I like Dundalk, I like Timonium. I love I’m
Nestor Aparicio 23:04
Timonium right now. We’re here at Costas. We’re at the new Costas. Don’t make the mistake that Damien had already made driving to Dundalk and looking for me. I mean, I’ll be there soon, but I’m in Timonium right now. It’s all brought to you by the Maryland lottery. We have such great sponsors. Planet Fitness has been with us for so long, and they’re finally coming. I don’t call Timonium my hometown. It’s where I reside. So I reside in the Towson Timonium community. PF is coming here with top of the line, state of the art, brand new facility. It’s right behind the expectation, right behind the pot, and still parking. We got parking.
April Fowler 23:38
We have parking, all right? We have parking, lots of parking.
Nestor Aparicio 23:41
That’s what’s a planet fitness thing, though,
April Fowler 23:44
because no, we have plenty of parking.
Nestor Aparicio 23:47
I got time for that. You know, joining a gym where I can’t park, you can park. Trust me, I’m 57 and unmotivated. It’s hard enough. You can get front door parking, right? I don’t need all that. Don’t make me that guy. Okay, it’s there as an option. You know, I used to make fun of people that did that when I belonged to Bally’s Holiday Inn, holiday spa 40 years ago, and so like, people would fight to park near the front door at the gym. Yeah, I’ve seen it come on. How is that? That doesn’t even make sense. That’s incongruent. It’s like a jumbo shrimp. That’s what they have here. They have jumbo shrimp. I love jumbo sound. That’s good. But if it’s jumbo, it’s not a shrimp. Yeah, it’s got to be a little if you’re going to the gym, you’re going to work out. Don’t fight for the best parking
April Fowler 24:31
No. Don’t actually park and walk. Get your steps in park further away, so you have to do less cardio. Yeah?
Nestor Aparicio 24:39
See if you’re really a Bougie gym. You would offer to bring the car up and pick them up at the front door when they’re done their workout.
April Fowler 24:46
You know, maybe we should look into that. No, I’m all
Nestor Aparicio 24:48
right. Comedy’s my well, I’ll do Mickey’s podcast next month. I’ll do comedy April’s here from Planet Fitness. Tell everybody how to find you Saturday, and not just Saturday. Saturday’s the good deal. I’m 1990 it is, it is, you have to. Get it lifetime. Life, 1999
April Fowler 25:02
locked in. That’s your rate. It won’t go a reason to do it right. There it is. It is because if we open it’s gonna go back up to 2499 and I’m gonna tell everybody in Timonium, because I’ve been out here every day talking to people handing out news. You lose you’re gonna lose this deal, and they’re not gonna bring it back.
Nestor Aparicio 25:22
All right, you don’t sell priority parking. There’s no VIP parking. Attorney, come on, you park wherever you park and go in the gym. There’s plenty of parking. I just said that weirds me out that people fight for parking at a gym. This is weird. It’s
April Fowler 25:34
interesting. It’s fun to watch, though.
Nestor Aparicio 25:39
People watching at Planet Fitness here, they’re open soonish, right?
April Fowler 25:44
Soonish, and it next month. We’ll be there. Don’t worry, we’re soonish. I just
Nestor Aparicio 25:48
hope the ravens are still in the race when you open in early November. I’m just trying to get through these four days next week and get the three. We’ll get there. We’ll get I’ve never had to say I hope we win two games to get three and five. But this is where we are.
April Fowler 26:00
We’re doing they’re gonna do it because Timonium is opening. We’re the blessing.
Nestor Aparicio 26:06
All right, just get me on the hydro bed. I’m gonna get you on the high I want to be in the chair. I don’t like the chair as much. The chair is not gonna be there. The bed is gonna be there. All right, light therapy to wake me up. Yes, get me over. I might have two maple bacon donuts on Saturday morning. Get a workout. Yeah, you’re gonna get my appreciation. Everybody at ohana, Justin, Karen, everybody down the line that helps us out around here and powers us up for so many years. Planet Fitness coming to Timonium, April’s here to talk about it, and I’ve got for you. You’re 18 years of age or old. I am, all right. Maryland lottery ticket scratch off. Don’t forget the second chances there, because you go to Cincinnati, you can win tickets for 20 years, all of that stuff. And I was very excited with John Martin today, because they have the new holiday scratch offs coming out. And John hates it when I call it. Just want to do it anyway, because I like angering my sponsors. They got sniffers. They have the scented it’s candy scented. Candy scented. This does not smell like dirty. Last year, he convinced me that the scented ones were the snowflake ones, and he looked crazy. He was putting me on we really have a scented one this year. It is candy cane. Ravens have been lucky. This scratch off batch has been a lucky batch. We had some winners here at Casas. Today. We’re gonna be on Tuesday in April’s old stomping gowns of Catonsville. We’re gonna be over at State Fair for breakfast, having chicken and waffles, and I’ll be working out probably at this bill afterwards. Yeah, after I have chicken waffles, I am not going to the gym. After donut I will, but not chicken waffles. I’m taking a nap. If I do that, maybe shrimp and grits will be at Cocos having crab cakes and Coco coconut shrimp on November 5 and then the seventh, we’re back at Pizza John’s in Essex, not to be confused with golden ring, which is also you’ve been, I’ve lived everywhere you plan a fitness folks, they move you around the share the love. Yes, everybody gets to share in the fitness, but not the look alarm, no, my appreciation. To plan a fitness center. Folks here at Costas, I’ve had a crab cake. Come on out. Get feel like a king. Get the crab Imperial. I am Nestor. We’re here at at Costas. We’re on bye week. Luke is in Owings Mills. We’re getting ready for football. We’re getting ready for the World Series, and I’m doing Baltimore positive. Stay with us. We’re gonna continue on right after this. You.
