Summit Fitness Center Gets $140K Upgrade

CANTON, MI — Summit On the Park’s fitness center is getting a $140,000 makeover starting Thursday. A host of new workout equipment will be installed at the township facility, built in 1996, when it reopens on Sept. 9.

The project will include several new state-of-the-art strength and cardiovascular pieces of equipment, including: Precor Strength & Fitness Equipment; TRX Suspension Trainers; Gym Rax; Two FTS Glides; and a new Multi Gym. New carpeting and 11 big-screen TV's will also be added. The fitness center will also get a new floor layout with expanded stretching area

"This short-term inconvenience will definitely bring long-term gains for individuals in the area who utilize our facility as part of their regular fitness routine," said Summit Facility Supervisor Jason Lombardo.

Recognizing these scheduling inconveniences, all current Summit memberships will be extended five additional days. To celebrate the grand re-opening of the Summit Fitness Center, a special Summit Membership Appreciation Week has been scheduled from September 9-15.

Special activities include: chair massages provided by Brackney Chiropractic; blood pressure and body mass index screenings provided by DMC; healthy snacks such as fresh fruit, and smoothies to enjoy post–workout; as well as sandwiches provided by Jimmy Johns. All snack items are while supplies last.

Summit members can also enter a week-long drawing for a chance to win prizes, plus take their picture at a Selfie-Station, located in the Summit lobby. From September 9-30, anyone can sign up for an annual membership and save 10 percent. The special offer includes annual, individual, couples, family and Kids Corner memberships (excluding Matinee and payment plans) and is only available at the Summit front desk.

The Summit on the Park, located at 46000 Summit Parkway, features: an aquatic center, fitness center, gymnasium, track, banquet and conference center, and meeting rooms. The Summit currently offers daily, six month and annual memberships.
