Pain management practice
comes to Northville
By Julie Brown
Staff Writer
Dr. Karl Freydl’s
pleased to be back in
Northville. He grew up
here, graduating from
Northville High, and is
establishing his Northville Pain Specialists on
Main Street.
“It’s exciting, and in
many respects it’s like
coming full circle,”
the Northville resident
said. His family’s been
in Northville some 120
years, with Freydl’s clothing stores for men and
women downtown in the
past.
His great-grandfather
started out as a tailor and
the family grew the business. Karl Freydl and his
mom, an Up North snowbird, are left.
“I’m about two blocks
from my office,” said
Freydl. He had a private
practice in Ann Arbor
and chose to begin working for himself near
home. He’s glad the family has a Main Street business again.
Freydl’s specialty is
physical medicine and
rehabilitation, his subspecialty interventional pain management. His
Northville Pain Specialists practice was recently
established at 215 E. Main
Street, Suite 201, in downtown Northville.
Freydl earned his doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in Illinois. He did his residency in physical medicine
and rehabilitation at the
Mayo Clinic in Rochester,

Freydl opened the
Northville office in October and is accepting new

explain, he said, adding,
“I try to get them going
on exercise-based therapy.”

Michigan Retailers’
scholarship competition
begins
Michigan Retailers Association is
offering at least 30 college scholarships this spring through its annual
competition.
The scholarships will be available to
MRA members and their employees
and families for the 2012-13 academic
year. Scholarships are $1,000 for public and private university and college
students and $500 for those attending
community colleges or training institutes.
“We are excited that the Michigan
Retailers Foundation continues to
provide tuition help to families and
individuals with direct ties to MRA
member businesses,” said James P.
Hallan, MRA president and CEO.
“Between 1999 and last year, our
foundation has provided funding for
an incredible 320 scholarships.”
Recipients are selected for their
average to above-average academic performance and extracurricular activities, including part-time
employment. Financial need is not a
consideration, and students do not
need to be at the very top of their
class.
Those eligible to apply are high
school seniors and college freshmen, sophomores and juniors who
are dependent sons and daughters
of owners or full-time employees of
MRA’s nearly 5,000 member businesses. Part-time employees who are fulltime students also are eligible.
Applications must be submitted to
International Scholarship and Tuition
Services, Inc.
(ISTS) by April 2. Students are
strongly encouraged to complete the
application process online at www.
retailers.com. Students may also
contact MRA’s Laura Schilling at
800.366.3699 or lschilling@retailers.
com by March 15 to request an application by mail or to check eligibility.
Recipients are selected by an independent panel of educators chosen by
ISTS of Nashville, Tenn., which coordinates the application and selection process for MRA and many other
associations and companies.
MRA’s annual scholarship program
is financed by earnings on the assets
of Michigan
Retailers Foundation, which is funded chiefly by tax-deductible contributions from MRA members.
The Michigan Retailers Association is the unified voice of retailing in Michigan and the nation’s largest state trade association of general
merchandise retailers.
Planet Fitness strikes
a deal as ‘Biggest Loser’
brand partner
Planet Fitness, a gym franchise with
locations in Northville (East Main
Street) and Novi (Beck Road), has
entered a brand partnership with The
Biggest Loser, the NBC reality show
that airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.
During the season, contestants
will work out on Planet Fitness gym
equipment at The Biggest Loser
ranch in Calabasas, Calif. In some
episodes throughout the winter and
spring, contestants will work out
at Planet Fitness gyms near their
homes, under the guidance of Planet
Fitness trainers.
“We’re thrilled to be associated with
The Biggest Loser and proud to have
the opportunity to help the show’s
contestants on their journey toward
improving their health and changing
their lives,” said Planet Fitness cofounder and chief executive Michael
Grondahl. “Planet Fitness is the one
gym where all people – no matter
their fitness level – will find a comfortable and non-intimidating atmosphere to pursue their goals.”
Recently, NBC film crews were on
site at Planet Fitness clubs in Lansing
and Westland to shoot scenes for the
upcoming season.
“It’s exciting not only to be associated with The Biggest Loser program,
but to actually have our club participate in the filming of the show,” commented Bryan Rief, a Michigan franchisee whose company owns and
operates nine (9) Planet Fitness clubs
in the Detroit area.
The Biggest Loser, which debuted
on NBC in 2004, attracts nearly 7 million viewers a week.
