Business Spotlight: Dominique Sanders and Steve Eiland Open Physique Island Premium Gym

PARMA, Ohio — Physique Island is a new premium gym opening in April 2026 at 1313 Rockside Road. Owned by Dominique Sanders and Steve Eiland, the 4,500-square-foot facility offers personalized six-week adult programs and elite athlete performance training. Moving away from the traditional "box gym" model where members are often left to train on their own, Physique Island focuses on high-level accountability through tailored nutrition plans, custom workouts, and a dedicated mobile app. ## The Physique Island Core Philosophy The facility centers its operations on a premium gym experience designed for busy professionals and dedicated athletes who want a prescribed plan they can simply follow. The core service is a six-week program that includes: - **Tailored Workouts:** Personalized training sessions designed specifically for the client's goals. - **Custom Nutrition:** Clients receive nutrition plans developed by a fitness coach specialized for their specific needs. - **Accountability Tools:** The program includes weekly body scans and an app that sends automated reminders to ensure clients stay on track. ## Elite Athlete Performance With Coach Tre Jones A major pillar of the business is its focus on student-athletes, led by Head Coach Tre Jones. Jones brings a significant resume of athletic success to the facility's performance training programs: - **Local Legend:** Jones was a standout player for Twinsburg before becoming a two-time All-American and two-time national champion at Mount Union. - **Professional Experience:** He also spent time as a player for the Kansas City Chiefs. ## State-of-the-Art Local and Wholesale Equipment The gym is outfitted with professional-grade machinery, with owners Sanders and Eiland prioritizing local Ohio manufacturers to support the community. - **Evoke Fitness:** Many of the facility's machines, such as the chest and back press units, are sourced from Evoke Fitness, which has a warehouse in Bedford and an owner based in Aurora. - **Extreme Fitness:** Larger equipment, including dumbbells and racks, is being provided by Extreme Fitness, a wholesale company. ## Strategic Location and Grand Opening Located in the former Soldier Fit space at 1313 Rockside Road, Physique Island is positioned near major local hubs such as Wasabi and Topgolf. This location serves residents of Parma, Independence, Seven Hills, and Twinsburg. Since receiving the keys on March 1st, the team has fast-tracked renovations, including custom black walls and specialized flooring, with the official opening slated for April.
