Greystone Country Club opens new fitness center

Members of Greystone Golf and Country Club are now exercising in a round-the-clock fitness center that’s more than three times the size of their old facility.

On Sept. 21, the club opened its 4,000-square-foot fitness center inside the Founders clubhouse. The center features a nutrition area, 21 cardio machines with Internet and cable access, strength machines and free weights facing a view of the driving range. 

Fitness director Christy Thompson said the machines are top of the line and several feature virtual running or biking courses on their screens. There is also the Synrgy360, a circular machine with different exercise functions. Assistant director Todd Makofski said the Synrgy360 will enable the center to offer “multi-station functional training.”

The biggest change is the addition of a 1,000-square-foot group fitness center, where Thompson said they will offer about 40 classes per week. The fitness staff has developed a specialized   fitness program for golfers and tennis players focusing on power, mobility and endurance. These classes were not an option in the former facility, and Thompson is excited about the options for the 1,500 members of the club.

“They’re looking forward to having more variety,” Thompson said prior to the opening.

Since many of the club’s members are young families and teenagers, Makofski said the new center will allow them more options for youth fitness.

“We’re very excited to offer a lot more functional and sports-based training for our youth,” he said.
