Bracebridge celebrates new wellness centre

Bracebridge celebrated the grand opening of the Kubota North Wellness Centre at the Bracebridge Sportsplex Wednesday.

The new space supports community health and wellbeing and enhances the Sportsplex amenities by offering visitors access to state-of-the-art equipment seven days a week.

“The opening of the Kubota North Wellness Centre further supports the town’s commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of the community,” said Rick Maloney, Mayor of Bracebridge. “This new area provides an inclusive space for individuals and families to achieve their fitness goals, connect with one another, and further enhances town amenities and services,” he said. The centre includes: a turf space with functional training equipment, a selection of free weights and weight machines, cardio equipment including treadmills, recumbent bikes, ellipticals and a space for specialized fitness classes and personal training.

By transforming the previous Bracebridge auditorium, the new wellness centre and a community room were constructed last fall.

Recreation staff are offering facility tours and wellness coaches are available to help visitors learn about using the equipment and support for their wellness goals.
