New Milford Fitness Club Reopens Under New Ownership

The former New Milford Sports Club (NMSC) will be reopening in July under new ownership and with a new name, the New Milford Fitness & Aquatics Club. The Boujeili, Nahom and Pereira families are all long-time members of the community and strong fitness advocates. “The club has not been owner-run in years and that makes a difference,” says Susan Pereira.

The new club will provide members and staff with an honest, safe and quality gym. “We know we are starting from square one, and as we grow, we are prepared to invest in improvements,” says Pereira. The pool at the club has been cleaned and maintained over the last few months by the current building owner, Bruce Weinstein. Over time, the new owners plan to renovate the pool; they say they are well aware of the importance of the pool to members, the town and Carlson’s Therapy.

The New Milford Fitness & Aquatics Club is a completely new business, with new ownership in no way affiliated with past management. Many past employees of the old club will be returning, however, allowing for a seamless transition. The new and improved club will feature old favorites such as Silver Sneakers, full towel service, Les Mills BODYPUMP classes, massages, swim lessons and full-service executive locker rooms, to just name a few. They will also be updating the facility and offering fresh new classes and programs. “We know we need to earn our members back and we are prepared to do so,” says Pereira.

Their new website is being designed by a local business owner and friend, Jose Llerena of Optional Reality. New Milford Fitness & Aquatics Club believes in community and plans to work with as many locally owned businesses as possible.

Location: New Milford Fitness & Aquatics Club, 130 Grove St, New Milford.
