We're standing 00:14.690 --> 00:16.690 out here in front of Rumple Fitness 00:16.690 --> 00:19.370 Center , built in 1966 and it's been 00:19.370 --> 00:21.537 serving our physical fitness needs for 00:21.537 --> 00:23.870 over 50 years . Well this facility 00:23.890 --> 00:26.390 needs a facelift . So from now until 00:26.390 --> 00:28.250 the fall of 23 we're gonna be 00:28.250 --> 00:30.320 undergoing massive renovations and 00:30.320 --> 00:32.431 today we're going behind the triad to 00:32.431 --> 00:34.431 see what's going on inside and then 00:34.431 --> 00:36.542 where we can still train our physical 00:36.542 --> 00:39.720 fitness in the meantime . Come on . Hey 00:39.720 --> 00:41.776 Tim Peterson , thanks for hosting me 00:41.776 --> 00:43.942 over the gym . You're welcome . Thanks 00:43.942 --> 00:46.109 for coming today sir . So if I'm a new 00:46.109 --> 00:48.276 patron and I walk in , what am I going 00:48.276 --> 00:50.442 to see when you walk through the front 00:50.442 --> 00:52.553 doors of the gym , you'll come in and 00:52.553 --> 00:52.240 initially to the right you'll have some 00:52.240 --> 00:54.660 day lockers to use straight ahead . The 00:54.660 --> 00:56.660 rest of it will be cardio area with 00:56.660 --> 00:58.827 some new windows that look out over to 00:58.827 --> 01:00.882 the gym off to the left here , we'll 01:00.882 --> 01:02.771 have the check in counter and the 01:02.771 --> 01:04.827 office space for the staff . We will 01:04.827 --> 01:07.049 have the new locker rooms that will all 01:07.049 --> 01:09.216 be re configured so I can do my cardio 01:09.216 --> 01:11.438 here . What about I want to get my swim 01:11.438 --> 01:13.604 in the pool is over this direction off 01:13.604 --> 01:13.500 to the south side of the building over 01:13.500 --> 01:15.670 here so it hasn't moved , it has not 01:15.670 --> 01:17.770 moved anything change about it . The 01:17.780 --> 01:20.160 biggest change of it is the deep end 01:20.170 --> 01:22.226 was on the west side of the building 01:22.226 --> 01:24.337 and it is not going to change over to 01:24.337 --> 01:26.392 the east side of the building and it 01:26.392 --> 01:28.780 will now be about 6.5 ft deep instead 01:28.780 --> 01:30.891 of 10 . Is that bulldozer going to be 01:30.891 --> 01:32.891 in the pool . It will not be in the 01:32.891 --> 01:35.130 pool so that looks good . So I do my 01:35.130 --> 01:37.297 cardio , I do my swim , what if I want 01:37.297 --> 01:39.519 to play a little ball or something then 01:39.519 --> 01:41.241 we head over this way into the 01:41.241 --> 01:43.408 gymnasium .
