March is Four Seasons Fitness Studio’s 15th birthday, and the community is invited to the birthday party! Drop by the studio, located at 32-34 Lake St. in Owego, on Saturday, March 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. They will have food, including birthday cake, libations, and live music provided by the band, Story.
The studio has a 20-plus year history serving the fitness needs of Owego residents. First owned and operated by Val Gundrum, the original studio was located on Central Avenue and was called Aerobics Central. It moved from that location to the Lake Street location about 20 years ago.
After several intervening changes in ownership, Val re-opened the studio as Four Seasons Fitness Studio in March 2004. Val passed away from kidney cancer in 2012.
The current owners, Barbara Patten and Cassandra Thompson, bought Four Seasons from Val’s husband Pat in 2014. Both Barbara and Cassandra are long-time members of the studio; they were both instructors there when Val passed away.
Val believed deeply in volunteering and community service. She truly was an inspiration. Honoring her memory and continuing her legacy, Barbara and Cassandra have held several ‘fitness challenges’ over the years to raise money for national and local charities, beginning with the 2012 “Spin-a-thon” to raise money to battle the kidney cancer that took Val’s life.
Organizations that have benefited from the studio fundraisers include Tioga County Rural Ministry, Maddie’s Meadows, Tioga United Way, and Owego schools.
The March Madness Challenge will be collecting for an organization to be named later. Check the studio’s Facebook page for more details.
It might be the studio’s birthday, but they are celebrating with some ‘gifts’ for members. This month they’re offering a new class, Spin Fusion, and a new fitness challenge, “March Madness”.
There will be membership specials all month long. New members receive 15 percent off a new membership; returning members receive 15 percent off a membership when they bring a new member who buys a membership. There is also an option to buy a yearlong membership of unlimited monthly visits at a reduced rate.
For more information, you can call the studio at (607) 429-9814 or email to info@owegofitness.com.
