Champion Hills Embraces Health and Wellness

The Fitness and Wellness Center at Champion Hills – one of the region's premier golf communities – has been ranked among the Top 50 in the U.S. by Club + Resort Business (C + RB), coming in at No. 44 on the inaugural list.

A leading trade publication based in Cleveland, C + RB covers the operations and management staff at country clubs, city clubs, yacht clubs and resorts that operate club-like facilities. Its “Top Ranked” initiative for fitness and wellness highlights properties with the “Top 50 Fitness and Wellness” facilities and programs, as judged independently by a panel of general managers from several top clubs.

“Champion Hills is a lifestyle-focused club that’s committed to our members’ health and wellness, and we greatly appreciate this recognition from a well-respected publication like Club + Resort Business,” says Champion Hills General Manager and Chief Operating Officer Dana Schultz. “We’ll continue to invest in our fitness and wellness facilities, programming and service as a major cornerstone of the club.”

Champion Hills’ Wellness Center and Pool Complex is located within its stunning, mountain lodge-style clubhouse complex overlooking the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Replete with the latest cardio and strength training equipment, it houses a spacious room for yoga, spin, Pilates and other group classes. A hydro spa is also available and popular with members for relaxing their muscles post-workout.

Criteria for inclusion in the Top 50 Fitness and Wellness Center included data on fitness and spa facility size, and the size of retail and/or food-and-beverage facilities related to fitness/wellness; average member usage, both on a monthly-visit basis and as a percentage of total membership; equipment value; classes and services offered; and staff size (both full- and part-time).

Champion Hills is a private boutique club in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just above Hendersonville and 45 minutes from Greenville. At Champion Hills, residents enjoy the perfect balance: a relaxed lifestyle that offers golf, tennis and much more. All surrounded by the recreation, entertainment and culture of western North Carolina. Unlike many private, seasonal, mountain communities, Champion Hills offers year-round golf, activities, and casual and fine dining options. And since 2013, property ownership is no longer a requirement for Champion Hills membership.
