This included spending of approximately
$140,000 on new state-of-the-art
treadmills, stationary bikes and elliptical
machines, replacing almost all of the
Athletic Club’s existing cardio equipment.
The equipment offers more exercise
program options and choice of motion
while improving member safety, with the
goal of encouraging members to exercise
more and achieve better fitness results.
The new devices will also reduce
maintenance costs and downtime.
The Athletic Club regained members who
had left in 2017, after it became clear that
operations would continue uninterrupted.
Their decision to rejoin represents a vote
of confidence in the Athletic Club’s future.
A key part of the approach is a new focus
on results-based fitness. The Athletic
Club’s team of highly trained fitness
professionals utilizes evidence-based
training methods and cutting edge
nutritional strategies to help members
achieve their health and fitness goals. This
involves assisting members to define their
health and fitness goals, set targets and
then provide the guidance needed to
accomplish their goals.
“With a renewed emphasis on results-
based fitness, the Columbus Centre
Athletic Club moves forward into a future
dedicated to making a difference in the
lives of each member.”
- Mario Mavrides, Director, Columbus
Centre Athletic Club
The Columbus Centre Athletic Club is now
positioning itself for future success by
providing the best possible experience for
its members through continued service
excellence, great staff, strong member
relations and personalized attention.
