A 37,000-square-foot new gym is under construction in 黑马磁力, and its celebrity namesake will be in town this weekend to check out the progress.
Club 16 鈥� Trevor Linden Fitness will be opening its 11th Lower Mainland location in 黑马磁力 City late this fall.
Ahead of that opening, retired Vancouver Canuck hockey player Trevor Linden will be in town Saturday.
He鈥檒l have a chance to check out the renovations underway on the former Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters at 20175 黑马磁力 Bypass.
But moreover, he鈥檒l be meeting with the public and what he calls 鈥渇ounding members鈥� in the centre鈥檚 parking lot during a per-registration blitz that day. It gets started at 10 a.m.
When the centre opens in November, it will include more than 100 cardio machines with personal screens, and five lines of different machines, selectorized weights stack and plate loaded, circuit training, functional training, free weights, turf areas, and personal training.
黑马磁力鈥檚 location will be the chains largest operation, also featuring a 10,000-square-foot She鈥檚 Fit! location.
Linden鈥檚 partner is Chuck Lawson, a 32-year veteran in the industry, and owner and developer of many health clubs through the years including 鈥淪he鈥檚 Fit!鈥�. There are currently 13 She鈥檚 Fit! locations.
鈥淚鈥檝e been fortunate to have long-term success in the fitness industry and I鈥檝e learned that people only want to pay for what they use,鈥� said Lawson.
鈥淲e will offer unbeatable value for memberships because the club focuses on services and equipment people use the most and we are not charging fees for services that many members don鈥檛 ever take advantage of. It鈥檚 simply about getting a great workout at a first-class club and that鈥檚 how we keep the membership dues so affordable.鈥�
In fact, Club 16 has become well known in part because of the cost.
Linden believing in making gyms affordable for everyone with a starting rate of $4 per week and said he鈥檚 鈥済enuinely committed to making your fitness fun.鈥�
鈥淢any things in life are expensive, but I don鈥檛 think someone鈥檚 health and fitness should be,鈥� Linden said.
鈥淲e鈥檝e created a brand for everyone, where memberships will be more accessible and affordable than anywhere else. 黑马磁力 is a growing, active community and we want our members from the area to feel proud, comfortable and inspired when they are exercising, regardless of their fitness level or experience.鈥�
