Sportsclub rebranding to acac Fitness & Wellness

One of the Upstate’s leading fitness centers will have a new name for its three sites by mid-January.

Sportsclub Fitness & Wellness will now be known as acac Fitness & Wellness Centers, marking a new era for this venerable fitness hub that has locations on Congaree Road in Greenville, Five Forks and in Simpsonville.

Founded by Phil Wendel in 1984 as the Atlantic Coast Athletic Clubs, acac Fitness & Wellness Centers has grown from a single 5,000 square-foot facility to having 14 sites in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.

“When we entered into the Greenville market about two and half years ago, we decided to maintain the Sportsclub brand due to its strong reputation in the market,” said Chris Craytor, CEO of acac.

“Our plan has always been to re-invest heavily into the clubs, which we have done over the last two years, before introducing our acac Fitness & Wellness name to the market. We’ve made millions in capital improvements since taking the reins, and while there is still work to be done, we’re now proud to welcome these locations officially to the acac family.”

As part of the transition, the three South Carolina sites have received a number of improvements, including a host of equipment upgrades, safety and structural improvements, brand new locker rooms in the Five Forks location, increased natural lighting, paint, flooring and more, with plans for even more upgrades to come.

Kelly Brogdon, marketing director for the Greenville sites, said this is a new era for the fitness centers, whose mission is to provide the best health club experience in the Upstate of South Carolina.

“Our members appreciate a wide variety of equipment, adult and youth fitness programming, group exercise classes and a friendly and knowledgeable team,” Brogdon said “From team sports to group activities to individual instruction, we can define a fitness program that suits anyone’s unique ability and lifestyle at our three convenient locations in Greenville.”
