Smithfield, NC Recreation and Aquatics Center - What it is and why it’s a big deal…

If you’ve been down Booker Dairy Road in Smithfield, NC anytime in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed that there’s something big being built thanks to all the construction equipment. That’s the SRAC - the Smithfield Recreation and Aquatics Center. So, maybe you’re thinking “great, just another gym with a pool - big deal.” Well, it actually IS a big deal because there’s really nothing else like this in the area or in Johnston County. Take a look at what this center offers:

• An eight-lane competition pool
• Fitness room
• Strength training room
• Group fitness/aerobics room
• Indoor walking track
• Two racquetball courts
• A double-gym
• Splash pad
• Multipurpose rooms
• Concession area
• Banquet room
• Locker rooms
• Sitter service
• A place for birthday parties, crafts, personal training, camps, aquatics programs, senior activities and more…

And this is all in one place. As you can see, it’s WAY more than “just a gym.”

I told you it was important. The center is scheduled to open in January, 2009 and enrollment starts on September 8th. But don’t expect to be member #1 or member #2 because if you real the Smithfield Herald, you’ll know that the SRAC held a tagline contest that encouraged the public to submit taglines for the center’s brochures and other marketing material. The winner and runner-up from that contest are now currently members #1 and #2.

If you’re looking for a place in Smithfield to get in shape that offers more than “just a gym,” the SRAC is for you. There are affordable membership rates and plenty of amenities to make it worth your while. Enrollment starts September 8th, 2008, and for a limited time there is NO ENROLLMENT FEE. Also, the first 100 people to enroll in an annual contract get one free month.

Learn more about the SRAC through its blog. You can see construction photos, get answers to questions, contact info and more.

Oh, and the winning tagline entry: “The benefits are endless…”
