Firm Fitness at Bellefonte Pavilion

Ready for a new you? Firm Fitness at Bellefonte Pavilion can be the solution.

Firm Fitness, the hospital’s new fitness facility, is located on the hospital campus at Bellefonte Pavilion (2000 Ashland Drive), making it the first business to operate out of the facility following OLBH’s $2.8 million dollar purchase of the building in 2008.

Firm Fitness is OLBH’s community wellness center, serving as a counterpoint to the Human Motion Vitality Center, which formerly served as a wellness facility but now exclusively provides rehabilitation services. “By having a dedicated facility for community fitness and wellness, we’re able to offer so much more at Firm Fitness,” Ryan Arnett, OLBH lead exercise physiologist, said. Arnett provides oversight for Firm Fitness and notes a great benefit the facility offers is personal training. “With a personal trainer, you have someone to help you look and feel the way you want to and to keep you on track to meet that goal,” Arnett said. “Our expert trainers can personalize a program designed specifically for you and your goals. It takes out the guess work. Those who work with a personalized trainer and put in the effort will see results.”

In addition to personalized training services, the facility offers a large variety of cardiovascular equipment and a dedicated weight lifting area. The facility also offers two racquetball courts, a half basketball court and male and female sauna and steam rooms. A dance studio is available for classes such as Zumba and aerobics. “We’ve made every effort to think of everything one would want out of an exercise facility, and we’ve succeeded in coming up with an attractive place full of the amenities anyone looking to join a gym would enjoy,” Arnett said. Future growth plans include the addition of a salon and the offering of massage therapy.

Firm Fitness is open Monday through Thursdays from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Fridays from 5:30 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, contact Firm Fitness at (606) 324-0339.
