Bulldog Gym: Bigger, Better, and Ready for the Future

Six months ago, we set out on a bold mission—to transform Bulldog Gym into a space that better serves our members and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement. Now, after months of dust, noise, and countless hours of hard work, we’re thrilled to announce that our remodel and expansion are officially complete!

What’s New?

Our goal was to enhance every part of the gym experience, from parking to workouts, and we’ve done just that. Here’s what we’ve accomplished:

  • Resurfaced and restriped the parking lot for a smoother, safer arrival.

  • Demoed a 1,500 sq. ft. area to create a brand-new, updated Group Fitness Room.

  • Built a new cardio and open floor space area, giving members more room for warm-ups, stretching, and functional fitness.

  • Added a dedicated Spin Studio, designed specifically for high-energy cycling sessions.

  • Transformed our lobby into a more spacious, welcoming area with expanded seating and retail space, plus new double glass entry doors.

  • Created a new tanning waiting area and office space, along with a dedicated staff breakroom.

  • Installed an additional private shower area, providing more convenience for our members.

  • Gave the entire gym a fresh look with a full interior and exterior paint job.

  • Added more mirrors throughout the gym to enhance visibility and improve workout efficiency.

  • Tinted all front-facing windows, reducing glare and helping regulate indoor temperatures.

  • Replaced and upgraded flooring in every area, giving the gym a sleek, modern, and durable foundation.

  • Completed brickwork on the exterior facade, thanks to the skilled work of Bob Beaty.
