For locals who’ve waited for an in-town fitness center, your wait is almost over! SNAP Fitness is opening a new facility the first week of April at 560 “G” Street – in the Nunan Square commercial center. SNAP owner Susan Jansson has been in the fitness business for over 20 years as a personal trainer, Group exercise instructor, a CrossFit leader, and a health club owner. Her first health clubs were located in Humboldt County and are called HealthSPORT. Susan says she discovered Southern Oregon and opened the first Snap Fitness in Talent, Oregon in January 2010.
“When we analyzed the communities in the Rogue Valley it was apparent to us that Jacksonville and Talent had an obvious lack of service for fitness centers. Talent has been a tremendous success and we anticipate the same response from Jacksonville. People really don’t want to drive 5-10 miles to another community to access a fitness center. We are going to provide Jacksonville with a club that is convenient, clean, and full top-notch equipment.”
General Manager Eric Acevedo grew up in the fitness industry as part of a family business that owned and operated fitness centers for more than 20 years.
“I realized early that this is a people business. Our concept enables us to offer fast, convenient and affordable workouts with state-of-the-art equipment close to your home. Members enjoy the same quality equipment and workout experience offered in traditional “big box” health clubs without the crowded parking lots, long waiting lines and higher costs. You’ll have access to the facility 24/7 and can work out at your convenience. Life circumstances are always changing and that’s why we offer member friendly policies such as NO CONTRACTS and Membership “Freeze” options. We’re extremely excited to bring our concept to Jacksonville and become a part of this great community.”
According to Acevedo, SNAP will be offering no joining fees during the first 30 day grand opening period and also hopes to process “early-bird” memberships starting March 20. Monthly dues range from $39.95 for an individual, $64.95 for a joint membership, and $84.95 for a family of up to 6. Members are required to purchase a 24 hour Access Key card for $20 , enabling after-hour workouts, as well. The new club will feature state-of-the-art Cybex strength and cardio machines, a large free-weight section, HD Flat screen TV monitors, 24 hour security surveillance monitoring, personal trainers and more!
