Dear Members,
As we turn the page on another year, I want to take a moment to simply say thank you.
The Downtown Athletic Club has always been more than a place to work out. It’s a community built on consistency, connection, and shared commitment to showing up for ourselves and each other. Every year, I’m reminded what truly makes the DAC special isn’t just the programs or the space, it’s the people who walk through our doors day after day.
Over the past year, we’ve continued to invest in the Club in ways both visible and behind the scenes. From improvements across our fitness spaces to new and evolving programming, our focus remains the same: creating an environment that supports your health, your routines, and your sense of belonging. None of that happens without an incredible staff who care deeply about what they do, and members who care deeply about this place.
As we look ahead, 2025 is an especially meaningful year for our family and for the Club. The DAC celebrates 40 years in downtown Eugene, a milestone made possible by generations of members who have trusted us to be part of their lives. I’ve grown up at the DAC, watched this Club evolve, and now see my own kids doing the same. That continuity is something I don’t take lightly.
Whether you’ve been with us since the early days, returned after time away, or joined us more recently, please know how appreciative we are for your membership and your support. You are the reason the DAC continues to thrive.
On behalf of our family and the entire team, thank you for being part of the Downtown Athletic Club. We wish you a healthy, happy, and fulfilling year ahead, and look forward to seeing you around the Club.
Warm regards,
Rob E. Bennett
Owner, Downtown Athletic Club
