Dear Downtown Athletic Club Members,
As 2024 comes to a close, let’s take a moment to thank you for a great year. Together, we’ve built a supportive environment focused on health, wellness and connections. Your commitment to fitness and being part of our community is what drives us forward every day.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are so excited! Be on the lookout for new equipment, fresh programming and enhanced amenities that we think you’re going to love. Our goals are to keep things exciting, fun and motivating for our members. Whether you’re starting a new journey or actively pursuing your fitness and wellness goals, we’re here to make your experience as rewarding as possible.
We’re also thrilled to share that 2025 marks a significant milestone for the Downtown Athletic Club—our 40th anniversary! In 1985, our family had a vision to open a full service health club in the heart of downtown Eugene. At the time I was eight years old. Growing up here, I have many memories of the original construction site, basketball games on what is now the fitness floor, and pizza nights in the Ax Billy Grill. Now my own kids are growing up at this special place. On December 31, 2025, the DAC celebrates four decades of fitness, community and memories. This milestone is a testament to the incredible members who have been the heart of DAC throughout the years – many of whom have been here since day one. We’re excited to celebrate with you in a big way.
Thank you for choosing to be part of the Downtown Athletic Club family. Your support means everything to us. If there’s ever a way we can help—whether it’s guidance, support or just an extra push—please let us know.
Here’s to another amazing year together! Wishing you health, happiness and success in the new year.
Warm regards,
Rob Bennett
Owner, Downtown Athletic Club
