HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. – Champion Hills – Western North Carolina’s premier private golf community in the Blue Ridge Mountains – vaulted 28 spots from 44 to 16 on Club + Resort Business ranking of the “Top Fitness and Wellness Facilities” in the U.S.
A leading trade publication based in Cleveland, “C + RB” covers the operations and management staff at country clubs, city clubs, yacht clubs and resorts that operate club-like facilities. Its “Top Ranked” initiative for fitness and wellness highlights properties with the “Top 50 Fitness and Wellness” facilities and programs, as judged independently by a panel of general managers from several top clubs.
“As a lifestyle-focused club, the health and wellness of our members is mission-critical and they continue to invest in enhancements to our facilities and programming,” says Champion Hills Director of Wellness Mackenzie Jones. “We’re honored by this recognition from a well-respected publication like Club + Resort Business that knows our industry inside and out.”
Champion Hills’ Wellness Center and Pool Complex is located within its stunning, mountain lodge-style clubhouse complex overlooking the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Replete with the latest cardio and strength training equipment, it houses a spacious room for yoga, spin, Pilates and other group classes. A hydro spa is also available and popular with members for relaxing their muscles post-workout.
Criteria for inclusion in the Top Fitness and Wellness Center included data on fitness and spa facility size, and the size of retail and/or food-and-beverage facilities related to fitness/wellness; average member usage, both on a monthly-visit basis and as a percentage of the total membership; equipment value; classes and services offered; and staff size (both full- and part-time).
