After years of being closed, the former Eau Claire YMCA building in Calgary is set to reopen as an athletic club with a Nordic spa. The announcement was made by the Calgary Downtown Association, who has been working on the project for the past two years.
The new athletic club, called “Eau Claire Athletic Club”, will feature state-of-the-art fitness equipment, group exercise classes, and personal training services. It will also have a Nordic spa, which will offer a variety of relaxation and therapeutic treatments, including saunas, steam rooms, and hot and cold pools.
According to the Calgary Downtown Association, the decision to transform the former YMCA building into an athletic club was made in response to the growing demand for fitness and wellness services in the downtown area. The association believes that the addition of a Nordic spa will make the club a unique and attractive destination for both locals and tourists.
The Eau Claire Athletic Club will also have a strong focus on community involvement and will offer various programs and events to promote health and wellness in the downtown area. This includes partnerships with local businesses and organizations to provide fitness and wellness services to their employees.
The reopening of the former YMCA building as an athletic club is seen as a positive development for the downtown community. It not only brings back a beloved landmark but also provides much-needed fitness and wellness services to the area.
The Eau Claire Athletic Club is set to open its doors in the fall of 2021. Memberships will be available for purchase in the coming months. For more information, visit the Calgary Downtown Association’s website.
