We are very excited to inform you that the new adult lap pool, hot tub, and locker rooms, including the new steam rooms and saunas have been completed and are now available for your enjoyment! Also, we are excited to inform you that we have now begun the expansion and remodel of the 3rd floor (where the former women’s locker room and Nautilus equipment was located).

For your convenience, we have posted a 3D rendering (below) depicting what the 3rd floor will look like after it’s completed on the OAC homepage, including all of the new and exciting equipment we are purchasing for it.

Finally, for your reference, below is a brief synopsis describing the remaining details of the OAC Club expansion and renovation project:

• The 3rd floor (where the former women’s locker room and Nautilus equipment was located) will be temporarily closed for remodeling, which will include exposing the historic brick walls, high-ceilings, overhead support beams, windows, and solid wood floors.
• The 3rd floor renovation will include, among other things, a new cardio and resistance training area with new lines of cardio and strength equipment outfitted with personal viewing screens.
• The new equipment will include 10 treadmills, 10 AMT machines, 20 elliptical machines, 2 Step Mills, 2 Versa Climbers, 5 stationary bikes, 5 recumbent bikes, and a complete (15 piece) set of selectorized resistance equipment.
• The 3rd floor renovation will be completed and the space reopened by August 31, 2013.
• The 2nd floor (where the former men’s locker room is located) will be remodeled to create a new indoor cycling studio, which will be referenced in the Activity Schedule as “Studio C.” (This will allow us to convert the existing space currently used for studio cycling into an additional racquetball court. (The Club will have three racquetball courts!)
• The 2nd floor renovation will include the expansion of the existing floor space of Studio “B.”
• The new yoga studio (Studio B) will have a new heating and air conditioning system and controlled lighting system.
• The 2nd floor renovation will be completed and the space reopened by August 31, 2013
• The existing pool and ground floor pool locker rooms will remain. (The Club now has two swimming pools!)
• Club members will receive a special discounted room reservation and parking rate to stay at the Hotel and/or use the new 4-level underground Hotel parking garage, which will be available to members 24 hours a day, for any reason, including dining, shopping, the Farmer’s Sunday Market, etc. Note: The five existing Olympic Athletic Club surface parking lots will remain available for Club members, at no charge, under the existing posted terms and conditions.
