Phase One of $6.5 Million Renovation is Open

PHOENIX, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- The award winning Camelback Village Racquet & Health Club has replaced Garcias' refried beans and rice with 16,000 square feet of healthy Exercise Rooms, a Pilates Studio, Spa and adult-only lounge overlooking the refinished championship tennis court and pristine Camelback Mountain, bringing the total square feet of the Club to 86,000.

There is a new Pilates Studio, to be utilized for Pilates instruction on reformers. There is also a retail area with the latest fitness clothing and high-end fashions.

To make sure Spa-goers are completely relaxed there are two separate relaxation rooms, one for quiet relaxation, and another for socializing. The Spa is available for anyone in the Valley to refresh, relax and renew themselves, membership to the Club is not required. An added benefit of utilizing the Village Spa is anyone who receives a one-hour treatment can use the entire Club the day of treatment, from group exercise classes, cardio equipment, weight training, tennis, squash, racquetball, as well as child care.

"As the Arcadia area undergoes renovations and updating, we felt a necessity to do the same thing with the Club," says John Smallfield, General Manager of Camelback Village Racquet & Health Club. "We have members that have been with the Club since it opened, and we wanted to give them a Club they can continue to be proud of."

To blend the old with the new, the existing Club will also be receiving a facelift -- including new carpet, paint, a reorganization of the cardio area and new fitness equipment.

The Club will be holding Open Houses starting Friday, April 11th from 2:00pm-6:00pm and will continue them every Friday and Saturday during the month of April. For more information contact the Club at 602.840.6412.
