September is here!
Our expansion is progressing but due to some unforeseen issues, we do not anticipate opening up the new space until the end of October/beginning of November. The new Yoga studio, inhouse XRZone and iCAN movement areas will follow in mid to late November. We are excited about these new spaces and look forward to offering you additional programming once they are open..

In the mean time, we have added new kids and teen fitness programs, Andrew Mount, our new Assistant Squash Director arrives Sept 10th and willl be rolling out new junior squash programs in October and doubles programming in early November. The Fall fitness schedule starts Sep 10th and Kelly Ellis, our Fitness Director will be adding more classes once our Yoga studio is open in November. Junior and adult tennis programs are quickly filling up. Check out the beginner workshop if you want to try something new this season.
