Update on Bally’s Fitness closures

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:51:47 +0000

With the impending closure of Federal Way, Olympia and Tacoma based Bally’s Fitness clubs, BTAC has become aware of the impact this will have on local tennis players, teaching pro’s and club staff. With that, we are looking to spread the word and keep those interested updated on the situation. In the following passage, you will find a link to Change.org, where you can sign a petition to keep our the clubs open.

The following is a statment from the United States Tennis Association – Pacific Northwest regarding the situation:

“Bally Total Fitness Tennis Facilities Statement from USTA Pacific Northwest

12/1/11 — The USTA Pacific Northwest is aware of the recent sale and impending closure of the Bally Total Fitness and indoor tennis facilities in Olympia, Tacoma and Federal Way, Washington.
The situation has our organization’s full attention as we recognize the importance of the Bally’s indoor tennis courts to their local communities as well as to our USTA members and the tennis professionals employed there.
The USTA Pacific Northwest is currently investigating all viable options that could result in keeping those courts open.

12/5/11 – The USTA Pacific Northwest is continuing to work towards potential solutions but local tennis players are also speaking up to help save the Bally Total Fitness tennis facilities in Tacoma, Olympia and Federal Way.
A petition has been started on the website Change.org to support keeping the Bally facilities open. You can sign the petition and also post a comment by clicking on the following link: http://chn.ge/sW5nL6”

She will teach each Thursday evening in December, and with positive support for this time slot, we hope to keep her on the schedule for January and beyond. ‘Enjoy my fun, energetic way to burn the calories and sweat your way to a healthy New Year! Don’t be shy, no rhythm necessary!!” says Tricia.

AquaSplash on Fridays will be replaced by AquaZumba starting Friday Dec. 16 and will be taught by Priscilla. So AquaZumba will be on Mondays AND Fridays from 9:00-10:00 am.

Misty will move to teaching a Rep Reebok class on Thursdays at 9:00-10:00 am starting Dec. 22. Misty will also teach AquaSplash on Wednesdays at 8:30-9:30 am.

Pool Update – 12/1/2011

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:26:10 +0000

Update – 12/1/11 @ 6:18pm

The wall repair/construction is underway on the south wall and a 25′ section of the west wall. The work is expected to take about two weeks. We are not expecting to have to close the pool, but be aware that there could be a short time where it is necessary for construction safety reasons, so please call ahead if you have any concerns about making a trip in to the club.

If you were in the first two days or so, please note that the plastic was extended to the ceiling yesterday, and the air in the pool room is actually quite pleasant now.

Thank you for your patience!
