Today we're celebrating an incredible milestone - 32 years of Nickie at the Downtown Athletic Club! 🎉

Nickie began her journey in KidStop and helped open Newberry Preschool in 1998. Since then, she's helped create a place where thousands of children have learned, grown, played, and built lasting memories.

As our Newberry Preschool and KidStop Director, Nickie's compassion, leadership, and unwavering dedication have made a lasting impact on generations of families and on everyone lucky enough to work alongside her.

Thank you, Nickie, for 32 years of caring for our youngest members and helping make the Downtown Athletic Club a place families are proud to call home.

Happy 32nd anniversary! 💚🥳

The Bring the Heat Challenge starts today, July 1, and we want to see you win!

Here's how it works: visit the Club 15 days in July, check in at the front desk each time, and we'll treat you to a complimentary appetizer at @zesteugene in August.

Any workout counts: swim, lift, class, court, recovery. If you're here and checked in, it's on the board.

Fifteen days in one month, equals an appetizer on us. 😏

Who's in? Drop a 🔥 in the comments and let us know you're taking the challenge.
