Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
for Anytime Fitness in Stevensville
STEVENSVILLE, Michigan - On Friday, December 5th , the public was invited to join the Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Anytime Fitness in Stevensville. The ceremony will took place at the gym, which is located next to Martin’s Supermarket in Stevensville.
Anytime Fitness opened the doors of their Stevensville franchise on October 6th, according to owner Katherine Meek. The opening marks the second Anytime Fitness franchise in Berrien County. Anytime Fitness clubs are open 24/7, allowing members to work out any time of the day or night, even when our clubs are not staffed. It is also the rationale behind their membership reciprocity program, which is known as Anywhere Club Access. With this benefit, members join one Anytime Fitness club and can use any other club, in 45 different states and Canada, at no extra charge. Anytime Fitness is not only the largest, but also the fastest-growing, fitness club franchise in the world. Nearly doubling in size from 308 to 604 clubs in 2007, and currently opening clubs at a rate of more than one a day, Anytime Fitness expects to celebrate the opening of its 1,000th club shortly before the end of 2008
Membership is available by stopping by the club. Each member has their own key card that they can access the club through. Once inside, you have full use of state-of-the-art strength training equipment and cutting edge cardiovascular equipment. Anytime Fitness in Stevensville is located at 5625 Cleveland Avenue. The club can be reached by phone during regular business hours at (269) 429-1222.
