Pacific Health Club in Liverpool, N.Y., will host its grand opening this Saturday, September 21, 2013. A former car dealership, the 90,000-square-foot club boasts a number of impressive amenities, and will be one of the largest clubs in the area.
In addition to traditional amenities such as locker rooms, group exercise and state-of-the-art equipment, the club also features a climbing room with a 27-foot-tall rock wall, two salt-water pools, an indoor running track and two MMA cages. A kid’s room and jungle gym are available for children.
The club offers three different membership tiers, and the more members pay, the more amenities they gain access to.
Owned by Bob Natoli, a successful entrepreneur, author and businessman, this is Natoli’s first health club, and the culmination of a lifetime dream. Natoli purchased the former Bresee Chevrolet car dealership for $1.6 million in May of 2012. “This has been a dream of mine for 25 years,” he said.
With a background in wrestling, Natoli explained that fitness has always been an important aspect of his life. In fact, Natoli holds eight fitness-related Guinness World Records. For example, in April 2013, Natoli broke the world record for most step-ups completed in one minute wearing a 60-pound pack (47).
If Pacific Health Club proves to be successful, Natoli said additional locations could be a possibility. “If this takes off, I do plan on opening more,” he said.
