 Weight Room Upgrades Coming Soon

This Spring, Courthouse weight rooms are getting major upgrades.

We’re talking Hammer Strength plate-loaded equipment. Matrix selectorized machines. Belt squats. Hip machines. And, so much more!

The Most Popular Additions

Belt squats are coming. If you’ve never used one, you’re in for a treat. All the benefits of heavy squatting with significantly less stress on your back and knees.

Hip adductor and abductor machines for targeted hip and glute training. These are consistently among the most requested pieces from members.

Hack squats and leg curls. Two of the most effective movements for quad and hamstring development.

Plus additional Matrix selectorized equipment and strength training pieces throughout all five clubs.

Plus More at South River Road

Our flagship location is getting a full weight room transformation. In addition to new equipment, we’re removing the carpet, painting the walls, and giving the space a complete refresh.

What Happens Next?

Equipment will vary by location based on each club’s specific needs. Check with your home club to see exactly what’s coming your way.

All installations will happen this Spring. Dates are still being finalized, and some weight rooms will need brief closures during installation. We’ll keep you updated as details are confirmed.

You asked for better equipment. We listened. See you in the weight room.

Quick reminder about booking your training sessions

We love that our training programs are filling up. It means you’re showing up, working hard, and making fitness a priority. That’s exactly what we want to see.

But here’s the thing. Sessions have been completely full, and we’ve had members arrive only to find out there’s no space left. That’s frustrating for everyone, and we want to help you avoid it.

The good news? There’s an easy way to make sure you always have a spot. Just book your sessions ahead of time. When you reserve your spot in advance, you’re guaranteed a place in class. So all you have to do is show up ready to train.

How to Book Your Sessions

It takes about 30 seconds. Here’s how:

1. Open the Courthouse app
2. Tap the “Training” icon
3. Find your training session and add it to your cart
4. Tap “Go to Checkout” 

Done. Your spot is secured.

Need a visual? Watch this quick walkthrough to see exactly how it works.

A Few Things to Know

You can book sessions up to a month in advance. If your plans change, you can cancel up to 2 hours before class starts. And if you’re already in the habit of booking ahead, thank you. Keep doing what you’re doing.

We’re here to make training as smooth as possible. Booking ahead is one small step that makes a big difference.

The fitness world is changing, and we’re changing with it.

We’re making strategic updates to our Club Fitness group exercise program, not because something is broken, but because we’re committed to delivering a better, more consistent experience that fits into your real life.

These changes reflect how our members are actually using the club, what we’re seeing across the broader fitness landscape, and what we know works for long-term success. Our goal is simple: make fitness more effective, more flexible, and easier to stick with.

Why we’re making changes

You want to move in different ways, on different days, for different reasons. You’re not training for just one thing. You’re training for life. Energy, strength, balance, longevity.

Today’s approach to fitness is about sustainability, not extremes. And here’s what we’ve learned: you don’t need an hour to get a great workout. We’ve already seen this with R30 and Age Strong. Shorter formats work, and they help people stay consistent. Now we’re applying that principle across our entire schedule.

What’s changing

We’re simplifying our class lineup to focus on the formats that deliver the most value and results.

Our primary class experiences will be Power, Centergy, and R30. These are the backbone of our program, offered most consistently across all clubs. You’ll also continue to see supporting formats like Club Dance, Core, and our Age Series classes, which serve specific goals and stages of life.

Some specialty classes will be offered in a more limited way based on demand, helping us keep schedules focused without overwhelming you with too many options.

New formats coming soon

We’re also excited to introduce Athlete30 in Spring 2026, a dynamic 30-minute format designed to build functional strength, power, and athleticism. This is just one example of how we’re evolving our offerings to give you more ways to train smarter, not longer.

What to expect with class lengths

To create consistency and flexibility, we’re standardizing class lengths across the board:

• 30-minute classes will continue in formats like R30, Core, and Athlete30
• All other group fitness classes will move to a 45-minute format.

This structure allows you to work hard without overcommitting your time, and it opens up new possibilities for stacking classes in one visit. Strength, then stretch. Cardio, then core. Mix and match in a way that fits your schedule and your energy level.

Consistency across all clubs

These updates will roll out across all Courthouse Club Fitness locations. Whether you’re at Battle Creek, Keizer, or visiting another club, you’ll know what to expect. Same formats, same structure, same quality experience.

This consistency also allows us to offer more classes throughout the day, serving more members more effectively.

Investing in the instructors you love

Great classes don’t just happen. They take planning, preparation, energy, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work.

As part of these updates, we’re increasing compensation for our club fitness instructors. This is our way of recognizing the incredible work they do and continuing to invest in the people who bring energy, expertise, and motivation to every single class. By supporting our instructors, we’re supporting better classes, stronger consistency, and an even better experience for you.

What you need to do

Please check the updated Club Fitness schedule before coming to class this week. Some class times and formats have changed.

If you want help building a routine or stacking classes, chat with a Fitness Coach next time you’re in. We’re happy to help you find what works best for your goals and your life.

Looking ahead

We know change can take a little time to settle in. But when members give the new lineup a real shot, most end up loving the flexibility and energy it brings.

So try something new. Stack a couple of classes. Experiment. Build workouts that support your real life, not someone else’s idea of what fitness should look like.

We’re excited about this next chapter and grateful to be part of your fitness journey.

A friendly reminder on sauna etiquette

Happy New Year! We’ve seen a lot more members using our saunas, which is great. We know they’re a high-value amenity for mental health and recovery, and we want to keep them available for everyone.

To make sure the saunas stay operational, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Never pour water on the rocks. This will result in a minimum $50 fine or the full cost to repair or replace the heater, which can be up to $750.
• Keep towels and items away from the thermostat.
• Wear clean, dry clothing or a towel. No sweaty workout clothes.
• No photos or videos inside the sauna.

The saunas are here for everyone. Help us keep them working.
