Our history and legacy.

For over 40 years, the building at 900 W Western has served the Muskegon Lakeshore. When the previous fitness center closed its doors at the start of the pandemic in 2020, it left a void in the workout community and hundreds without a place to call their gym.

In 2021, a group of avid supporters of both the fitness center and Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore (who now owns the property) came together to raise funds to kick off a capital campaign to bring a fresh approach to this community fitness center.

Momentum built, and community members started steeping up to contribute however they could. Now, ground has broken, and with each new day the excitement to return to our beloved “gym on the lake” builds. You can follow along for the story here.

You can contribute to the realization of our future clubhouse on Muskegon Lakeshore by donating here.

Thank you for being a part of our community!
