It felt so right that the husband and wife are poised to open Workout Anytime Kettering, an 8,400-square-foot fitness center at 2234 S. Smithville Road in The Shoppes at Kettering Pointe.
“We just felt like it was a great opportunity,” Bob Surface said. “We know the business, we know the area. We loved the 24-hour concept. It just felt right.”

Holly worked for nearly 15 years in various capacities at the YMCA of Greater Dayton Coffman Family Branch in Springboro, where Bob was a member.
“That’s how we met,” Bob said. “We knew each other in passing. After five months or so of trying to build up the courage to ask her out, I finally did. And after that, we were pretty much inseparable.”
