The new 65,000-square-foot health and fitness facility is scheduled to open in early December. The new center is in a previously vacant space adjacent to the current complex.

CP-AC Fitness will feature 25,000 square feet of strength and cardio equipment, a dedicated mind/body center for Pilates Reformer classes, multidisciplinary and hot yoga, as well as traditional group fitness studios and dedicated space for triathlon and competitive cycling training.

Group exercise will be taken to a new level with over 75 weekly fitness classes and programs. Additionally, there will be a custom Queenax Bridge studio creating endless possibilities for suspension, boxing and functional training.

Membership also includes access to the Olympic-sized pool, hardwood basketball courts, 1/5-mile indoor track, indoor turf fields, plus tennis and squash courts.

In addition to world-class athletic facilities, members will enjoy significant benefits throughout the sports complex, including baby-sitting services, two luxury lounges and cafes (one for families and one for adults only), steam rooms and saunas in new finely appointed locker rooms, and massage therapy rooms.

Carolina Quiroga was named the fitness club director of the new facility earlier this year. Suzanne Vita Ponticello will be the new training and program director, and Kathy Salvo of New Canaan will be group fitness director. Suzanne Pullen was named membership director.

Quiroga will be responsible for the overall day-to-day operations of CP-AC Fitness, including program development, personnel hiring and training, as well as equipment and facility operations. Quiroga most recently ran the Lifetime Fitness facility in Berkeley Heights, N.J., where she oversaw a team of 250 employees and more than 10,000 members.

The new space represents a significant upgrade from a much smaller space currently at Chelsea Piers and is a response to  customer demand for more equipment, particularly aerobic choices.
