An integration that will expand reach and resources while preserving Advantage Sport & Fitness’ legacy of excellence.
Advantage Sport & Fitness Inc. (ASF), a trusted leader in the commercial fitness industry for 37 years, is proud to announce it has been acquired by The Amenity Collective, a wholly owned subsidiary of FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ:FSV). The Amenity Collective is North America’s leading provider of full-service facilities management across the fitness, aquatics and recreation industries. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for ASF, enabling enhanced capabilities and expanded market reach while reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing concept-to-completion commercial fitness equipment solutions; and after the sale, customer services, that create “best-in-class” fitness facilities.
“Our vision has been to build an enduring great company that delivers exceptional value to our clients and partners,” said John Murray, the president, founder and co-owner of ASF. “Joining The Amenity Collective aligns perfectly with that vision and our values, providing us with the resources and reach to elevate our impact across the fitness and wellness landscape. This milestone reflects the dedication and hard work of our incredible team, and we’re thrilled about the opportunities this partnership creates for the future.”
Since its founding in 1987, ASF has remained steadfast in its mission: to design fitness spaces that transform customer visions into fitness destinations that empower individuals, teams and communities to achieve their health, fitness and wellness goals. This guiding principle has helped the Ithaca, NY-based company become the premier distributor of Precor commercial fitness equipment on the U.S. East Coast and a trusted partner for fitness facility design, equipment installation and service.
In addition to its exclusive Precor partnership, ASF represents industry leading fitness brands such as Peloton, Escape Fitness and Power Lift, serving a diverse client base that includes multifamily properties, schools, universities, country clubs and corporate fitness centers. Recent expansions into the Mid-Atlantic and New England markets and the establishment of a 51,000-square-foot warehouse in Greenville, South Carolina, underscore ASF’s commitment to scalability and service innovation.
The acquisition by The Amenity Collective will also establish a partnership between ASF and LIVunLtd, a premier division of The Amenity Collective specializing in fitness and wellness facility management. “This partnership represents a tremendous opportunity to amplify our impact and continue building on the legacy we’ve established over nearly four decades,” said John Murray. “By joining forces with The Amenity Collective and LIVunLtd, we’re poised to elevate our services and deliver unparalleled value to our clients, team members and vendor partners.”
ASF’s leadership team, including John Murray, John Pfuntner and John Marcotte, will remain actively involved in the business, ensuring consistency and continued dedication to serving the company’s clients and employees.

Since 1987, ASF has partnered with top fitness brands, including Precor, Peloton, and Escape Fitness, to deliver high-quality solutions tailored to a diverse client base, from corporate and multifamily fitness centers to educational and athletic facilities.
