Matt Bettencourt, Owner  Howland Place Fitness Center

  Howland Place Fitness Center is located in the beautifully renovated historic Howland Place Mill building in the south end of New Bedford, MA. HPFC is a local family owned gym that is also owned by the same family that owns Fay’s Restaurant.

HPFC is the dream and the vision of Matt Bettencourt, owner and operator of HPFC.

“I wanted the ultimate fitness center that had the latest in equipment, fitness classes and a high-quality professional training staff that could help individuals achieve their fitness goals regardless of their age, ability or fitness level.”

“I wanted a gym that didn’t pressure you to make long term financial commitments from the day you stepped foot in the facility.” “That’s why we have an affordable pay by the month plan for both the gym membership as well as the fitness class membership programs with no initiation fee.” “I pictured a gym where people would return because they were happy with the facility, amenities and the service they received, not because they were locked into some long-term financial commitment.”

“With the help of my family, friends and talented staff, I believe we have accomplished our objective which is why our members continue to return to Howland Place Fitness Center, enabling them to make fitness a way of life.”

“Please be my guest with this free day pass and try out our facility.” “I hope you’ll make the decision on your own that HPFC has what you need to help you achieve your fitness goals so you too can Stay Fit for Life!”
