Not Your Typical Health Club

September 05, 2023

Dear Members,

I hope you have enjoyed the summer and are getting ready for fall!

While thinking about what to write this month, I thought it would be fun to express just how different we are at BHC. Yes – we are a full-service health club, but here are some things that makes us different than others in the area:

- BHC is open 24/7.

- BHC is 100% owned and proudly run by a long-term member (25 years and counting!)

- We have a dedicated studio for personal training sessions – leaving more space in the main gym for your workout.

- We offer both in-studio and online classes.

- For yoga devotees, we offer opportunities to enrich your practice by attending BHC-sponsored yoga retreats, plus MJ’s ever-popular Sound Bath and Restorative Yoga experience (click here to sign up or learn more!)

- We host a variety of technical workshops. This Fall we are offering - “Get a Grip on Metabolism” (taught by Brenda Savage), and “Walking Well” (taught by Karen Gamble).

- We host our Silver Sneakers classes just down the street at Leif Erikson Hall to allow for more room and a great environment for our senior members.

Even with all that the club offers, we are always looking for ways to improve. I want to thank everyone that has already sent in suggestions for improvements, and invite anyone else to reach out and email me with your ideas. BHC is a member-driven club and takes member suggestions seriously. I’m excited to collaborate on future changes to the club and look forward to keeping you all updated as plans turn into action.

See you at the Club!
