Xtreme Fitness Club proudly announced its grand opening on December 1, 2015 under the theme “Raising the Bar to Success”. The new initiative is a Fitness Centre located in North Side, owned by young entrepreneur, Mr. Derick M. Richardson.
The Fitness Centre aims to raise the standard of fitness services on island and to strive to increase public awareness with regard to health and wellness. This will be achieved through the implementation of exercise programs and health seminars that will impress upon the public the importance of healthier lifestyles through a holistic approach to wellness.
The facility features a spacious cardio and weight room, fully equipped with touch screen operated equipment including treadmills with video screens, elliptical machines, upright and recumbent bikes, stair steppers and a rowing machine, in addition to weightlifting circuit training equipment. Additionally, there is an aerobics/personal training room, his and her sauna rooms and an office area from which supplements and fitness gear will be sold in the near future. “Our ultimate goal was to design a modern facility that will meet the diverse needs of our clients. The facility was also designed with our clients’ privacy in mind and all areas are separate units.”
Mr. Richardson stated that Xtreme Fitness Club will not just be a place to work out but instead it will be a facility that focuses on creating an overall experience that surpasses the expectations of clients. “Our aim is to provide our clients with an opportunity to exercise in a clean and comfortable environment. I am not just providing a service, I am providing an experience”.
While the experience at Xtreme Fitness Club promises to be a rewarding one, this is only phase 1 of 2. Provisions have been made for further growth of the business, with the main focus of phase 2 being the community’s youth. Mr. Richardson recognizes that there is a lack of recreational facilities on island geared tow
ard the development of our youth.
“We must remain cognisant of the fact that our youth are Anguilla’s future and it is paramount that we seek to steer them towards a path that will lead to success,” he said. It is our belief that many of our delinquent youth would benefit greatly from the implementation of a facility that will provide them with an opportunity to spend their time engaging in more meaningful activities. Crime has become a growing concern on the island and this facility will provide avenues for them to positively express themselves, thereby assisting in detouring them from destructive acts. This will aid in their growth and lay a platform for them to become model citizens of the community. “
Xtreme Fitness Club’s hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 4:30am to 10:00 pm and Sunday from 6:00am to 6:00pm. 24 hour access is available by special request. Upon registering, members will be given access cards for their convenience and security. To begin your Xtreme Fitness experience you can call their office at 264-476-3737.
