Parkside Fitness Unveils Newly Remodeled Locker Rooms and Infrared Saunas

Parkside Fitness, located at 300 Red Bud Drive in Mineral Springs Park, has taken its facilities to the next level by unveiling newly remodeled and upgraded locker rooms in both the men’s and women’s areas. As part of this exciting renovation, Parkside has introduced new lockers, modernized showers, and state-of-the-art infrared saunas, giving members a premium experience as they work toward their wellness goals.

Planning for the project took place over the past year, with demolition beginning this past June. The project was completed in November. This was the first significant overhaul of the locker room areas since opening in 1975. Members have commented on how impressed they are with the overall appearance and functionality of the space and how much they enjoy the updated amenities. 

The Infrared Sauna Experience
The new infrared saunas at Parkside Fitness offer cutting-edge wellness benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use light to directly heat your body instead of the surrounding air. This technology is celebrated for its ability to ease sore muscles, improve circulation, and help users relax after a challenging workout. The sleek wooden design and modern aesthetic of the saunas make them a perfect place to unwind after hitting the gym floor.

Parkside Fitness is not your basic box gym. It is a comprehensive health and fitness facility spanning 55,000 sq. ft. Whether you’re a dedicated athlete, fitness enthusiast, or someone just starting your wellness journey, there’s something for everyone. The newly remodeled locker rooms feature upgraded showers and private changing spaces, ensuring comfort and convenience for all members. In addition, the modern lockers provide security for your belongings while you enjoy your workout.

As part of its top-tier amenities, Parkside Fitness also offers:

  • State-of-the-Art Equipment: A full range of cardio machines, strength training gear, free weights, and a self-service 3D body scanning imagery system.
