Indoor Pool Temporary Closure

The indoor pool will close temporarily for repairs beginning tonight, Thursday, June 27 at 8 pm. During this time, the hot tub will remain open.

Contractors will be repairing the plaster near the deep end, therefore most of the water in the pool will need to be drained. Repairs are expected to conclude by Sunday, June 30, with the refilling and heating process beginning immediately thereafter.

We anticipate opening the indoor pool by Tuesday, July 2, however it will be a few more days for temperatures to return to normal.

As a reminder, the outdoor pool will remain open. To view the outdoor pool hours and schedules please visit our website. Outside of the regular schedule, the outdoor pool will be open for lap swimming and water walking/jogging Saturday, June 29, 7 a.m. to 9 am.

Thank you for your patience as we work through these much needed repairs. Please check your email or social media for updates.

Road closures for Kimbrough, Exeter and Farmington will be in effect between the hours of 1 and 4 pm.

Indoor Pool LED Lighting Install

We are happy to announce that new LED lighting will be installed in the natatorium early next month. This upgrade will provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for all of our swimmers, and is part of an ongoing commitment to improving our pool facilities. In addition to the lighting install, we will be making much needed repairs to our pool pump motor and installing new diving blocks.

Unfortunately, there will be some downtime during the installation process. The indoor pool and hot tub will be closed December 4-15. This two week period is a best case scenario, and we will keep you informed if more time is needed. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you are someone who only uses the pool and/or hot tub, you do have the option to place your membership on pause for the month of December. If you choose this option, please do so by November 25. This request can be made in person during our member services hours or online by completing a change request form.

Thank you for your continued support. For questions or concerns, please contact info@gacfitness.org or (901) 757-7370.

water shut off

Due to repairs involving one of our main water lines, the water will be shut off to most of the building Thursday, January 26 beginning at 7 a.m. Assuming repairs go as planned, water should be restored by 10 a.m.

All restrooms (upstairs and downstairs), and sinks, toilets and showers in the locker rooms off of the aquatics area will be closed. Locker rooms in the weight room area will be open. The water shut off will also affect water fountains and the coffee area. 

Due to the inaccessibility to water, Child Care will be closed in the morning and will reopen regular evening hours, 4 to 8 p.m.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Membership Rate Adjustment

As a valued member, you know that the team at Germantown Athletic Club is committed to providing the best service possible. We pride ourselves on delivering a positive experience each time you visit our facility. Evident in the many upgrades and additions to the club that have taken place over the course of the last several years, we constantly strive to create an environment that supports your healthy lifestyle. As always, our goal is to be good stewards of our financial resources. Assessing our fee structure, it has become evident that our current rates must be adjusted to reflect the increasing costs of operating in this competitive market. We are committed to serving at the lowest possible cost to the membership, which we believe is still evident in these new rates.

As of August 1, 2022, Germantown Athletic Club will be adjusting current membership rates to the following:

Individual - $47.00
Joint - $82.00
Household (3) - $94.00
Household (4) - $106.00
Household (5) - $118.00
Senior - $39.00
Senior Joint - $74.00

For monthly members, you will notice the rate change on your August draft. For 6- and 12-month prepaid members, the rate increase will occur at the time of your next renewal.

If you have any questions about the rate change, please contact Erica Collins, Membership Sales & Services Coordinator, at 901-751-5680 or Curt Cromis, Business Manager, at 901-751-7679. Thank you again for your continued support in making Germantown Athletic Club the best health and fitness facility in the area!

Sincerely,

Amy LaRusso
Club Director

New Equipment & Renovated Weight Room

The weight room renovation is complete and most of the equipment is installed. A few items were on backorder but should arrive soon. Those items include the cable cross machine, several TRX accessories, and stretch trainers. We hope you’re excited with the outcome!

New Equipment for the New Year!

The wait is finally over! Over the past several months our team has been working on getting everything perfect for the weight floor renovation and new equipment arrival. We are happy to say that all of the stars have aligned, and we can release the details and timeline for the long awaited project.

New equipment will be arriving and installed on Monday, January 10. The weight floor will have new power racks, half racks, benches, bumper plates and platforms, a TRX system and much more.

In addition to new equipment and fitness accessories, we are getting a bit of a facelift in the weight floor area with all new flooring (rubberized and turf) and new bright, vibrant colors on the walls. We hope you LOVE it!

This exciting news doesn’t come without some adjustments. This project will take roughly two weeks to complete.

During the renovation and equipment move, the weight floor and Court 2 will be closed. We will move the old equipment into Court 2 to ensure minimal downtime for members.

Please keep in mind this does not affect the machines on the first basketball court or cardio deck.

December 29-January 10 - basketball court closed
December 30 - no access to weight floor equipment in Court 2 until after 1 pm
December 30-January 10 - weight floor equipment available for use in second basketball court
January 10 - weight floor reopens later in the day with new equipment and new flooring 

We are grateful for your patience during this project and hope you are as excited about the outcome as we are!


Thanksgiving Invitational Swim Meet

It's been a while since our last meet so a few reminders are listed below.

  • The pool will be closed Saturday, 11:30 am-6 pm and Sunday, 10 am-3 pm.

Health Directive Changes for Masks

Due to the latest Shelby County Health Directive, masks are no longer required but are highly recommended in the Club with the exception of Child Care.

Because we are licensed by DHS, we fall within the school and daycare category, and there is no change to this. Children over the age of two and employees are required to wear a mask while in Child Care.

Mask Requirement Update

Shelby County Health Department has issued a mask requirement for all indoor settings effective Friday, August 20, 2021. In an effort to help slow the transmission and adhere to the directive put in place by SCHD, we are requiring that all members wear a mask/face covering while entering and exiting the building, as well as in common areas such as hallways, locker rooms, etc. Children ages two and up must also wear a mask if they are attending childcare.

Masks/face coverings may be removed to work out, and are not required to be worn outside at the outdoor pool.

Please bring your own mask, as we will not be providing them to those who forget. Thank you for your understanding and compliance in this matter.

Group Fitness Class Reservations

We appreciate your patience while capacity restrictions have been in place, and we've learned a great deal in the process. Now that they are lifted we have decided to remove the reservation system for group fitness classes. The last day reservations will be required to attend a class is Wednesday, June 30.

Capacity restrictions remain for Silver Sneakers Classic and Cycle. We will revert back to pre-Covid operations for these classes which is first come first serve. As a reminder, members are not allowed to save bikes for other members.

For the time being, we will continue to utilize our reservation system for child care and lap swim.
