Home Sweet Home…
The New NorthStar Sports Training Facility
As you can see we have finally taken the next step and found a home big enough to provide our athletes with everything they need to achieve their elite goals. We hope that you will pardon our appearance for the first few weeks or so while we iron out the cosmetic wrinkles of our new space. We have prepared the facility to be fully functional, training wise, but are still working on the aesthetics.
We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight for you a number of the grand upgrades we are making to this facility, which you will watch unfold before your eyes in the coming weeks, as well as what this new space can offer you athletically that we could not offer before.
At the new NorthStar, we now have the ability to train adult athletes. In the past we have been very limited in our ability to train anyone older than a college athlete. We now look forward to offering an alternative to ‘happy-hour’ where office groups, groups of friends, or just individuals come get healthier and re-energized with a training session instead of beers and greasy food. The possibilities are endless here, from yoga, palates, running classes for the weekend marathoner, or some strength and conditioning work for the frequent tennis player. We are no longer limited to just the younger crowd. This is the future of athlete training!!!
Now, to highlight the new equipment that is coming. In mid-January, we will have received all of the new equipment that has been ordered to make this space a truly elite training facility. Two new York lifting racks, two new treadmills, additional plates and weights for the racks, new stability training equipment, climbing ropes, gymnastics rings, three PowerBlock Dumbbell sets, a larger turf surface area, an additional spring jumping floor and a half basketball court are among the major equipment upgrades we are making right now.
As for cosmetics, for the open wall we have ordered personally designed fabric banners that will hang down from the beams like the banners in Madison Square Garden. The banners will each depict a silhouette of a different athlete half-toned behind a quote that we feel represents the NorthStar spirit. Upstairs, when completed, will act as a stretching/ rolling/ warm-up area, allowing us to fully use the training floor for sessions as well as allow us to offer other classes that can use that space during training hours.
Last but not least we are back to making our own shakes!!! For those of you who never knew NorthStar’s original shakes, they are back, better than ever and consistently delicious.
Again, welcome to the new NorthStar Sports on Rt. 55. Please bear with our appearance for a short time while we complete our renovations.
