SPORTIME Kings Park Fitness Center Closing

After almost 25 years operating our small but mighty fitness facility at SPORTIME Kings Park, we have made the difficult decision to close our fitness facility at the end of club hours on April 30th, 2023. Accordingly, April will be the final month that we will be collecting monthly membership dues.

While our tennis club, turf and sports facilities and programs, and our summer camp, are all the busiest they have ever been, and while SPORTIME Kings Park will be here, serving our community, for another 25 years, and beyond, our fitness business is, unfortunately, no longer viable. The demand for fitness memberships at our facility was already in steep decline prior to the pandemic, due to the small size of our facility, and to the many, larger and newer, competing facilities in the area. But by the end of the pandemic, we were down to about 100 members, where we had once had over 1000.

So, although this was a difficult decision, and one that we have put off for several years, we will be re-purposing our fitness center space for camp use during the summers and for other sports uses during the indoor seasons starting in the fall of 2023.  

We greatly appreciate those of you who have remained active fitness members to the end. Your loyalty will never be forgotten and you are truly forever members of our SPORTIME family. We have done our best to deliver a great fitness member experience all these years, and we wish you all continued good health and happiness.
