After months without a fitness center in Maple Lake, the Barry family has re-opened as Maple Lake Fitness in their old Snap Fitness location just off Hwy. 55 west of the stop lights.
The new center opens under the management of Phoun Phoulavan, an M.S., ACSM, TPI Certified trainer who has worked in the industry for more than 25 years. He brings with him two trainers who he said are among the best in the Metro – Paul Pribyl and Tom Talcott.
Maple Lake Fitness opened for the first time on Monday, Feb. 1 after Snap Fitness, owned locally by Mike Barry, closed its doors last spring. While there will be some differences in how the business is run, Phoulavan said the community can count on many of the same great features including access to the Silver Sneakers program which is aimed specifically at adults ages 65 and older and is covered by some Medicare plans.
Members will enjoy the same key-fob access to the center between the hours of 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. with staff on hand between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., roughly, Phoulavan said. Trainers will be available upon request for physical fitness testing and other more advanced programs. They will also have regular hours throughout the week. Stop by Maple Lake Fitness to check out their schedules.
