New gym hopes to Prosper
under recently relaxed rules
BY MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
Prosper Athletic Club, Keiz-
er’s new fi tness center at 5045
River Rd. N, was all set and
ready to open last November.
However, COVID-19 restric-
tions prevented them from do-
ing so.
Even though Marion Coun-
ty was deemed an extreme-risk
area earlier this month accord-
ing to COVID-19 data metrics,
the gym was still able to fi nal-
ly open in early-February in a
limited capacity.
“To us, we’re not the ones
that got shortchanged, it was
the community that we didn’t
get to serve. That’s why we’re
here — to provide a full-service
health and wellness center for
everyone,” front desk manager
Alan Keys said. “If you don’t
work on your health, it’s not
going to improve. We want this
gym open to give people the
power to take action when it
comes to their health and well-
ness because we believe that
this is an environment where
people can come and fl ourish.”
Prosper Athletic Club was
allowing just six people in the
building at all times before the
County’s risk level was changed
from ‘Extreme’ to ‘High’ —
members were required to call the waiting game.
“We have prepared diligent-
ahead of time to schedule a
