On February 23, Bancroft Fitness celebrated a major milestone with the installation of a new HVAC system and the upcoming launch of a hydrotherapy pool, marking a leap forward in the company’s mission to provide comprehensive fitness and rehabilitation services. Funded by a generous $71,700 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, this development not only marks growth for Bancroft Fitness, but also marks his second anniversary since moving to Bancroft, where membership numbers have skyrocketed. There are also things to do.
From humble beginnings to the epicenter of wellness
Dr. Carolyn Brown’s vision more than 30 years ago to fill a void in local rehabilitation services has grown into Bancroft Fitness, now a hub of North Hastings’ wellness community. We’ve transitioned from a small clinic to a comprehensive fitness and rehabilitation facility, boasting services ranging from an exercise clinic to soon-to-be-launched hydrotherapy. The center’s move to Bancroft was the catalyst for success, and membership increased from his expected 100 members to his 567 monthly members.
An innovative approach to fitness and rehabilitation
A new HVAC system is critical to creating an optimal environment and ensuring comfort and safety for all members, especially those undergoing rehabilitation programs. The introduction of a hydrotherapy pool, scheduled to be operational in April, underscores Bancroft Fitness’ commitment to providing diverse and comprehensive wellness solutions. These enhancements, which were celebrated by local dignitaries and community members alike, focus on innovative integration of fitness and rehabilitation services within the gym environment.
Community support drives success
As managers Jocelyn Jean and Dr. Carolyn Brown emphasize, Bancroft Fitness’ success is deeply rooted in community support. With a focus on health and inclusivity, this facility has become a beacon of health in Bancroft and appeals to a wide range of demographics. The financial relief provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant will help accelerate these advances and ensure Bancroft Fitness reinvests in its mission and continues to expand its services to meet the evolving needs of its community. Now you can.
