On July 16, a group of enthusiastic supporters joined the owner Pam Wigglesworth and the staff of My Home Gym for a grand opening and ribbon cutting. It is located at 105 Railroad Avenue on the Monroe County side of Alderson next to the Alderson Volunteer Fire Department.
A good crowd cheered this new addition to the amenities in Alderson. Wigglesworth said, “With the help of a great team, we have been able to assemble this. We hope it brings joy, many people use it, and feel better when they leave.” This “small but mighty” gym has something for everyone with membership options including regular memberships at $40 per month and Senior memberships for $30 per month. Some discounts are available so inquire when you take a tour. Members have 24-hour access so they can exercise at a time which fits their schedule.
They offer the Lion’s Den Weight Room which is designed for heavy lifters and includes free weights, bars, squat racks, bench presses and more. They have a Certified Yoga Instructor, Andrew Eppler, from the Ashtanga Yoga Studio of Noble, OK, They also offer Zumba, a fun and energetic workout using contemporary dance and music from around the world. Thai Chi has recently been added and more styles and classes of exercise will be added as interest increases.
Alderson Main Street President Don Sutherland said, “We are excited to have this new business in Alderson. It is especially great for Alderson residents to be able to walk to such an excellent exercise facility.”
