Welcome
Not a typical gym….a community respite
Standing outside, the first thing that strikes you is that this place does not look like a gym at all.
The building is large — 19,000 square feet — but it wears its size comfortably. The exterior is clad in vertical board-and-batten siding in a warm, weathered sage tone that blends naturally into the Central Oregon landscape. Dark reddish-brown trim frames every window, giving the facade a grounded, craftsman quality that feels deliberate and unhurried.
The entry is the centerpiece. A timber-framed covered porch anchors the front, its heavy wooden posts joined with classic X-bracing that reads immediately as mountain lodge architecture. The double doors beneath invite you in without demanding anything. Above the entry, a second gabled peak rises, capped by a large multi-paned window that draws natural light deep into the building.
To the right, a generous second-floor deck with a natural wood railing extends outward — the kind of space you imagine people using after a swim or a class, breathing the Sisters air and watching the tree line.
Speaking of trees — tall ponderosa pines ring the building and push right up against the roofline, reinforcing the sense that this structure was built to belong here, not just placed here.
It looks like a lodge. It feels like somewhere you would actually want to spend time. That impression, it turns out, is exactly right.
