Center for Health & Fitness Relocation
Comprehensive fitness center for all fitness levels.
As Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) continues advancing its Healthy Living Campus vision, it will offer the public an opportunity to provide feedback on new design plans for the Center for Health & Fitness (CHF) in the 510 Prospect Avenue building. The fitness center will be moved from its current home in the 514 Building to the new location in time to open in 2027 – the same time the 514 Building is slated to be vacated.
Community Design Open House
BCHD has had numerous meetings with members of the CHF, staff and architects to determine priorities and design options for the new location. On September 30, staff held a Community Design Open House for residents and members to review the preliminary design and provide feedback.
The Design Preview event offered the public a chance to speak directly with CHF staff as well as the architectural design team regarding everything from the types of fitness equipment available in the new space to the color palate and the location of yoga rooms and locker rooms.
Preliminary Design
The new design for the Center for Health & Fitness was developed with member feedback and future needs in mind, incorporating features that enhance both function and experience. Key elements include:
- A welcoming patio space designed to encourage social connection before or after workouts.
- Purpose-built exercise studios that are similar in size to the current ones but with improved layouts—no columns, maximizing usable space for classes.
- A brand-new dedicated spin room to make room for more classes
- A redesigned locker room that is more efficient and aligned with current usage trends
- Improved flow and navigation throughout the facility for a more intuitive and comfortable user experience.
- Modern finishes, better lighting, and upgraded materials that contribute to a fresh, energizing atmosphere.
These enhancements are designed to create a vibrant, community-centered fitness environment that meets the evolving needs of our members. Based on community and member feedback, the final design is expected to be shared at the Board Meeting on October 22.
