Conquest will capitalize $1 million in improvements to the structure and fitness amenities. The new health club will be designed by Tracey Wong, lead designer for home builder, Gadles Development. "The fitness and health club industry have clearly moved to a low cost model. That is what is succeeding in our day in time. We do not feel that club goers should suffer in terms of quality and cleanliness simply because of the low-cost model taking over the area. Our goal is to provide a high quality, luxury fitness experience at an afforable price that the market deserves," said Gadles. The club will be offering rates as low as $10/month with no money down and no contract. The club expects to be fully operational by January 1st.
