Beginning in June, Frisco residents will no longer have to cross town lines to work out in a gym. The Peak One Fitness center — located on School Road in the former Summit Medical Center — is slated to open in just over a month, and will remain open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Owner and Summit County resident Mary Scheifley brings about 15 years of fitness experience to her new venture. She was formerly the fitness director of a corporate health club and wellness center in Denver, and is an avid snowboarder, cross-country skier, hiker and road and mountain biker. Scheifley said Frisco is a great community, but was missing a neighborhood fitness center, like the recreation centers in both Breckenridge and Silverthorne. She said the location is centrally located, and an easy spot for people to get in and out of.
“That's kind of my key: convenience,” she said. “That's what we have to do in today's society; with fitness, people want to get in and get out — and feel good about themselves.”
Even more convenient, the center will be open 24 hours a day, allowing members to come and go as they please. It will be staffed during the day, and locked at night. Users will be able to enter the facility using a pin code and thumb-print scan, so no cards are needed. Scheifley said scans are encrypted and fully digitized, and no actual images are saved.
The fitness center will include free weights, strength training equipment, a heavy bag, a stretching area and tanning bed. Cardio equipment consists of: a total body trainer, treadmill, spin bikes, recumbent bike, a rower (powered off of water); and a TRX, a suspension trainer that uses body weight to operate. Scheifley said everything is top-of-the-line.
“You can pretty much get everything you need here,” she said.
She will also be offering one-on-one personal training, group training and small specialty classes: a circuit class and boot camp. Boot camps will be open to the whole community — not just gym members — and accessible for all levels of fitness.
“They're designed to get results,” she said.
Scheifley said she wants the center to become a “lifestyle club,” and become a place where people can incorporate both fitness and nutrition into their lives on a regular basis. On her website, she's set up an online meal planning and food suggestion system.
Scheifley hopes the fitness club becomes a community gathering spot; a place where people can feel comfortable about themselves.
“I just want it to be a genuine, good place to be,” she said.
