January 23, 2010 ~ Before…
Our plans for the lobby include new carpeting, better lighting and possibly a relocation of the front desk.
We’ll be replacing this carpet runner and providing new shelving for boots/shoes in an effort to keep the club clean and people’s feet dry!
Have you ever noticed how dark it is in this corner? You’ll notice a difference when the club reopens!
This is the room where you’ll see the biggest before/after difference.
We’ll be replacing the lights you see in these photos with warmer lighting. In addition, we’ll be adding lights around the perimeter of the room. It’s going to feel so much nicer!
We’re also planning to carpet this area, painting the walls and trim, and re-arranging the weight equipment so that there is better flow throughout the room.
This room is currently the Pilates room. It will be renovated into our new Yoga studio.
The aerobics room is going to get a facelift with fresh paint and a new ballet bar.
January 25, 2010 It was a busy day at SHF’s Field House campus. The pilates equipment moved into the lounge (photos later once it’s organized), and the process of replacing the lights in the weightroom began.
In addition, Mike Quigley took apart the cardio equipment to restore it to Shelburne Health & Fitness standards. It’s going to feel like we just bought new equipment!
The guys from Bristol Electronics took all the old TVs down and marked out where the new TVs are going to go.
In preparation for the relocation of the front desk, the small desk area was removed just outside the club’s doors.
January 26, 2010 The front desk has been moved. What a difference!
The guys are still hard at work painting. It looks great! You’re going to be amazed at how different it feels.
The cardio area is going to have some energy to it (but not enough to knock you over)!
The cardio room looks so nice in it’s new color. It’s amazing how much nicer the floor looks with this new color. Trim and the ballet bar still need to be finished.
The maple flooring is unwrapped and ready to go into the old pilates studio/new yoga studio.
January 27, 2010

All of the cardio equipment has been moved into the aerobics room so that tomorrow the weight equipment can be moved into the cardio area (while the new carpeting is laid). It all looks a bit unorganized right now, but everything is moving right along.
Here’s a better look at the cardio area. It has great energy, but not TOO much. You can also see the new mounts for the new TVs that should be installed by Friday.
Where once it was a stark, cold white, there’s color! The biggest difference will be once the walls are lit by the new circumference lighting which has not yet been installed.

These TVs look kind of small in this photo, but just wait until you see them – high definition and all!
The wood flooring went down sooner than we anticipated in the new yoga studio.
January 29, 2010

Most of the carpeting was laid today. Everything is coming together beautifully. Tomorrow, movers from Booska are coming to move the weight equipment back into place.
January 30, 2010

Here’s a peek at what the cardio room now looks like. It’s going to be a great place to work out!
Max is busy wiping down all the equipment so that it’s nice and clean when you get back to work out here!
The new yoga studio looks wonderful – especially with sunshine beaming in through the windows.
The spinning bikes are eager to be put back into use. Rayne has picked out the nicest of the bikes from our Athletic Drive facility to put back into commission once we move the Spinning program in. We should end up having about 26 bikes in the room, which means shorter waiting lists!
