New fitness resort planned for Dublin, Calif.

March 4, 2008
50,000-s.f. facility would be upscale, integrated fitness experience

Charter Properties, a Pleasanton based developer, and Leisure Sports Inc., owner and operator of the highly successful ClubSport fitness resorts have announced plans to build a new 50,000 square foot lifestyle fitness resort in Dublin, California.

The upscale club will be located in The Promenade, situated within the 1,500 acre master planned community of Dublin Ranch. The Promenade, located off Dublin Blvd and Tassajara Road, is directly surrounded by medium-high and high-density residential neighborhoods. The 110,000 square foot, Charter Properties and Leisure Sports, mixed use project will include the fitness club, plus retail and office space on the pedestrian-friendly main street of The Promenade.

The luxurious fitness club will feature upscale amenities and services including eight dedicated studios for group exercise, yoga, Pilates and cycling. Personal training, wellness and nutrition counseling will be an integral part of the fitness services offered. A resort style pool; plush locker rooms; a day spa with nine treatment rooms and a café with healthy menu options will complement the total wellness experience.

Members will also enjoy the convenience of a childcare center and concierge service, allowing them to fully integrate fitness into their lifestyle. The concierge service will provide the link to a broad range of fitness adventures from international cycling vacations to scuba diving as well as traditional adult activities commonly associated with quality fitness clubs.

Leisure Sports will own and operate its new fitness club, which has yet to be named. The new club will be a sister club of ClubSport Pleasanton, a facility that has been keeping the community fit for over 25 years. ClubSport is a brand that Tri-Valley residents recognize and count on. Members of the new club will enjoy reciprocal privileges at ClubSport and Renaissance ClubSport properties, expanding their fitness options to include tennis, basketball and other sports available at the larger Leisure Sports owned facilities.

All components of the project are currently in the design stage and development plans will be submitted shortly to the City of Dublin. Commencement of construction is slated for late 2008 and opening expected in 2009.
