The Brand New Wellbridge
Thursday will be the last day for exercising in the old Wellbridge Athletic Club & Spa building on Forsyth. The brand new 40,000 square foot club and spa, just footsteps away on Forsyth, will open Monday. The $10 million two-story space (not including the cost of the building) is in the heart of the Centene Clayton Campus at 7676 Forsyth Boulevard. The goal is to have the best health club and spa, offering the latest fitness programs under one roof with the best instructors, facilities, and services catering to a quick workout or a place to spend the entire day. The new Wellbridge is perfect for the business executive who only has an hour, or parents who are looking for an energetic place to bring their young children. To meet the demand for fitness fans who want the latest trends, the club will even feature a new concept studio – the Atlas Studio – which will change every six months.
When Wellbridge Athletic Club & Spa first opened in St. Louis twenty years ago, it ushered in two decades of being the trend setter of the St. Louis upscale fitness scene. Just some of the features and amenities include:
- 200+ of the most sought after fitness professionals in St. Louis
- 140+ group classes per week in 6 state-of-the-industry studios
- HIT-style studio with rig and bridge setup highlighting the hottest fitness crazes, kicking off with BoxMaster classes
- Atlas heart rate training studio
- Hot yoga studio
- Antigravity studio
- Mind/body studio featuring In-Trinity Boards by Johnny G
- Pilates studio with 8 Reformers as well the Cadillac, Chairs and Barrels
- Indoor cycling studio with 30 Stages Cycling bikes and On Demand classes
- 1,600 sq. ft. of functional training with 30+ certified personal trainers
- 60+ pieces of state-of-the art cardio equipment
- On-demand classes with video instruction
- Executive locker rooms with whirlpool, steam and sauna
- Full-service spa including massage, nail, facial and waxing services
- 25 meter saline swimming pool for lap swimmers and group classes including ones on stand-up paddle boards (SUP)
- Member lounge and work areas
- Convenient and energetic childcare including age-appropriate programs
- Energy Bar featuring grab-and-go smoothies and quick-energy foods
To better accommodate the needs of early morning members, the club will open 5 AM each weekday and remain open until 10 PM. Weekend hours are 7 AM to 7 PM. Immediately following the move to the new space, the older facility at 7620 Forsyth in Clayton will be demolished to accommodate a new structured parking garage to serve Wellbridge and Centene. While this is being built, Wellbridge will offer free valet parking in addition to 90 surface parking spots for members and employees.
