Plano Athletic Club assists with clients’ health concerns
Jack Hyslip opened Plano Athletic Club in a former 24 Hour Fitness in 2021. “[We] upgraded the facility with new ooring,” Hyslip said. “We switched out all the lights to LEDs trying to conserve some electricity. Put sanitizers in the air conditioners to assist with clean air for COVID-19, etcetera and we updated some equipment.” The set up Plano Athletic Club is a 47,000-square-foot full service tness facility which includes a swimming pool, steam room, dry sauna, group tness room, weight oor, outdoor workout area, basketball court, kids club, recovery area and more. Group tness classes are included with monthly membership. Weekly schedules feature yoga, dance, strength training and spin classes.
Who it’s for Hyslip said the bulk of their clients come to PAC with weight loss goals, however there are myriad of reasons gym patrons walk through their doors. “I’ve trained two 12-year-olds,” assistant general manager Jon Cravens said. “I taught them how to do that at a young age, and fostered a healthy relationship with lifting weights and making it fun for them. That was cool.” Another client success story involves an 82-year- old, long-time member. “He loves working out, swims everyday, but he fell and that was a setback for him,” Hyslip said. “He connected with a personal trainer, they worked through it and he’s back to his routine of swimming everyday.”
In addition to aqua aerobics, PAC clients can swim laps in the indoor pool. Swim lessons are also taught here.
