What we have been working on
On Tuesday, May 28 we began construction to provide you with a more modern, effective and vibrant fitness experience. Considering all the feedback we’ve received from you:
- We’re reinventing the popular free weight area. The new free weight space will more than double in size and feature an expanded equipment selection.
- We’re reimagining the group fitness experience with a new state of the art cycling studio and updated main studio.
- We’re evolving the arena snack bar area so that it can serve as a member lounge and meeting space outside of public skate sessions.
- We’re upgrading flooring and finishes, taking care of necessary maintenance and adding a fresh coat of paint to make every Supreme visit even better.
Supreme will remain open throughout this project, with operating hours unchanged, although sections of the club will be closed and inaccessible while work is underway.
We expect this renovation project to extend through mid- to late-fall 2024. We will provide updates on this timeline, which you will be able to find on this page, via email communications and on facility signage as work proceeds.
What’s Changing?
The main updates to the club will be taking place on the Lower Level, encompassing the free weight room, Studio 1, cycling studio and Supreme women’s gym. Additional maintenance activities and smaller improvements will be implemented throughout the renovation period, including updates to the Arena and Snack Bar as well as the Supreme indoor pool. Additional details are outlined below, and Supreme team members will be available to address your questions and concerns throughout.
How will this impact members?
For many members and club guests, these renovations will not impact their regular club usage.
Lower-Level Renovations
On Tuesday, May 28 the free weight room, studio 1, cycling studio, women’s gym and a portion of the lower hallway will close.
Cardio and strength equipment will remain accessible on the main fitness floor. Many group fitness classes will be relocated to the arena, yoga studio, Columbia Athletic Club or Columbia Gym.
Raquetball courts 1-4 will remain open for member use.
Improvements to the Lower Level Fitness Area will include:
Free Weight Room – The size of the free weight room will expand. The new space will feature additional racks, platforms, and bumper plates. The existing cable unit will be upgraded to feature additional stations. More plate loaded strength pieces will be added.
Cycling Studio – The dedicated cycling studio will feature color changing lights, a new sound system and a new visual projection experience.
Group Fitness Studio – The group fitness studio will include a new sound system, improved equipment storage and a more open studio feel. The space will continue to feature a suspended wood floor.
The SSC Women’s Gym will permanently close to accommodate an expanded free weight room and new cycling studio (to learn more about this decision, please visit ColumbiaAssociation.org/SSCWomensGym). Members interested in scheduling a complimentary equipment orientation can stop by the front desk to schedule or email SupremeSportsClub@ColumbiaAssociation.org.
This phase of construction extends through early fall.
Arena and Other Work
In late August to early September, the arena will close while the snack bar is updated, and arena floor maintenance is performed.
We anticipate annual pool maintenance to take one week, beginning approximately Monday, July 15.
Other facility maintenance will be completed throughout the renovation. We will provide more accurate timelines for these projects as they become available.
Our Commitment to Your Membership
We recognize that these renovations may impact your workout and recreation routines. During the full period of this renovation project, Supreme 1Fit members may visit Columbia Athletic Club and Columbia Gym.
Updated group fitness schedules will be shared in mid-May. The vast majority of impacted Supreme classes will be moved into the arena or to Columbia Athletic Club or Columbia Gym.
