The 52,000-sq.-ft. Oakridge Wellness Center (OWC) at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Ga. features five large pools and 105 pieces of workout and wellness equipment. OWC conducts more than 3,900 group fitness classes and 20,000 training sessions annually. The center serves more than 265,000 members and guests in the wellness facilities.
“The OWC is a staple for The Landings Club membership,” says Drew Howard, the club’s Membership Specialist. “…The OWC is a retreat for those who want to better themselves. Whether working on your physical or mental health, members are able to find what fits their lifestyle needs.”
Gary Lorfano, the club’s Director of Membership, Marketing and Communications, says the facility has grown from 20,000 sq. ft. to 48,000 sq. ft. to more than 52,000 sq. ft. in a 15-year timeframe.
“The size, quality of equipment and programming makes our wellness center the most visited facility of our club,” Lorfano says. ”…We want our club and our wellness operations to be an indispensable part of our members’ lives.”
The OWC continues to see rapid growth in member check-ins, utilization of fitness programming, spa services, child care events, and aquatics, according to Howard. The facility has offerings for all—those ranging from as young as one month old to those who are approaching 100 years old. The center welcomes more than 700 members a day.
“With two indoor pools (one heated to 90-plus degrees for therapeutic purposes), extensive cardio, strength and functional training spaces, along with studios for group classes, our club has a well-rounded facility to address everyone’s fitness and wellness needs for all seasons of life,” Lorfano states.
Whether members are looking for cardio, free weights, or full-body-workout machines, the OWC offers 104 Technogym equipment pieces to fit every need. With team trainers available to motivate and instruct, the center performs more than 23,000 personal training sessions per year. Included in the workout area is a 2,000 sq. ft. multipurpose space called The Green, popular for strength training.
Down the hall, visitors will pass the locker rooms (each equipped with a sauna) and spa facilities. A member could attend a high-energy cycling class and schedule a massage across the hall immediately after.
The exercise studios are home to 5,000-plus classes a year, and specialized workout programs, such as W.O.W. (Women on Weights), S.T.U.D.s (men’s Strength Training Under Direction), Pilates Reformer, and the Balance & Fall Prevention program.
Visitors can step outside toward the adult-only pool and jacuzzi. There is also a building with two indoor pools, home to aquatic classes, physical therapy, infant swim lessons, lap swimming, and more.
“The beauty and tranquility of our Oakridge Wellness Center cannot be matched,” Howard says. “This oasis for physical and mental health provides a warm invitation to any member looking to be better today than they were yesterday.”
