Turning Plans into Action

11/29/23

Dear Members,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Hard to believe we are starting the last month of the year! Things have been exciting here at the Club with the plans we have been talking about these past few months now turning into action.

If you have been to the Club lately, you have seen the new rubber floor we have installed over the old wood floor in the main gym.  We have been getting lots of compliments from members as they have seen the new floor take shape.  I want to express a big shout out to our Facility Manager, Chris Hope, for all his extra effort that resulted in such a high-quality installation of our new floor.

For our members interested in a fun, new cycling experience, we are trying out a Freemotion “CoachBike”.  We have temporarily placed the bike at a location on the gym floor in a area cleared while we were installing the new floor. We are planning the future location to be between Studio X and Y. You can follow a cycling coach in a class on the 22” touchscreen! You may choose a ride somewhere in the world and the CoachBike will automatically change the resistance and/or the incline on the bike during appropriate parts of the ride (up and down hills). The idea is to provide a fully immersive cycling experience while receiving a fantastic workout. Please let me know of any questions you have about the new bike and your opinion of it.  If this bike is a hit, we will keep it and purchase more of them.

The delivery of our new Precor Treadmills is scheduled for Monday, December 11th. We will be replacing all our treadmills with these brand-new Precor units. To prepare for the installation of the new treadmills, we will be completely reorganizing the cardio area into groups of similar equipment on Sunday, December 10th. 

With our new rubber flooring in place in the main gym, we are now prepared for our new Life Fitness Jungle that is scheduled to be delivered and installed mid-January.

The atmosphere is pretty electric at the Club with all of these gym improvements taking place along with greatly expanding our in-studio class offerings to present many more options for our member’s fitness experience.

Thank you for being a member of Ballard Health Club!
