– Chelsea Piers Connecticut is thrilled to announce the grand opening
of its new 65,000-square-foot state-of-the-art members-only health
club, CP-AC Fitness. The new fitness center, located in a previously
vacant space adjacent to the current 400,000-square-foot sports
complex, provides a vast array of fitness and training opportunities
and secures Chelsea Piers Connecticut’s position as the premier sports
facility in the United States.
CP-AC Fitness is an advanced training facility with a range of
equipment that is comparable to a University Athletic Complex featuring
25,000 square feet of strength and cardio equipment, including the
popular Cybex Arc Trainers, LifeFitness Discover Treadmills, the unique
self-powered Woodway Treadmill, Precor Ellipticals, Assault Air Bikes
and Multirider System Computrainers, as well as HD Elite power racks,
the VMX Rope Trainer, the Jacobs Ladder, Keiser Circuit and an
extensive selection of free weights. Also included is a 20-meter turf
field, providing the optimal surface for sled pulls, weighted sprints
and functional training.
The new facility boasts six class studios offering 110+ classes a week,
including multi-disciplinary and hot yoga, Pilates, cycling, cardio,
barre, body sculpting, TRX, circuit training and kickboxing, plus a
number of personal and small group training programs led by a team of
experienced and certified trainers. Studios include a custom Queenax
Bridge studio designed for suspension, functional and circuit training;
a dedicated cycling studio; the "Atrium Studio" featuring soaring
19-foot ceilings for a spacious group class experience; and three
additional studios dedicated to yoga and Pilates with an adjacent
lounge.
CP-AC Fitness also serves as the clubhouse for the Chelsea Piers
Athletic Club, providing multiple options for members to relax pre- or
post-workout. In addition to steam rooms and saunas in the Club’s
expansive locker room facilities, the new space also features dedicated
massage therapy rooms and two well-appointed lounge areas. The Adult
Lounge offers members ages 16 and older a space to relax or get work
done, and the Family Lounge provides a comfortable communal area for
members of all ages. Conveniently located adjacent to the Family
Lounge, the Kids Corner provides members with exclusive access to
babysitting services for children ages 6 months to 11 years, while
Great Performances offers members a selection of fresh and healthy food
and juice options at the Juice Bar.
In addition to the new fitness center and clubhouse, CP-AC Fitness
membership also includes access to the complex’s Olympic-sized pool,
hardwood basketball courts, turf fields and 1/5-mile indoor track, plus
advance reservation and booking privileges at the tennis and squash
courts. Early registration privileges and preferred member pricing for
sports programming throughout Chelsea Piers are additional benefits
designed to meet the needs of the family market that Chelsea Piers
serves.
“We are thrilled to offer Fairfield County the best fitness facility in
America,” commented Greta Wagner, Executive Director, Chelsea Piers
Connecticut. “With our unparalleled range of sports training and
fitness options, Chelsea Piers provides members with unique
opportunities to reach their sports and fitness dreams and
