More than just a gym, the 300 Club has been a cornerstone of Gainesville's active lifestyle community since 1960, affectionately known as "Gainesville's best kept secret."
A Legacy of Health and Fun
The 300 Club's story began in 1960, envisioned as a space where residents could prioritize their well-being through swimming and tennis. Over the decades, the club has remained true to its core values, evolving alongside the city to offer a comprehensive range of fitness activities for all ages and skill levels.
A Pool Paradise: Year-Round Aquatic Activities
The heart of the 300 Club is undoubtedly its inviting pool. This heated, 6-lane, 25-yard pool caters to a variety of needs. Serious swimmers can utilize the dedicated lanes for lap training, while families can enjoy splashing around in the designated areas. During the hot summer months, the pool hours are extended for evening use, offering a refreshing escape from the Florida heat.
Beyond Laps: Water Fun for All Ages
The 300 Club understands that fitness can be fun. That's why they offer a variety of aquatic activities designed to maximize enjoyment. Water aerobics classes, held twice a week, provide a low-impact workout perfect for all ages and fitness levels. For younger members, the pool becomes their own aquatic playground, fostering a love for water activities in a safe and supervised environment.
Beyond the Pool: A Tennis Haven
For tennis enthusiasts, the 300 Club boasts a world-class tennis center. Eight immaculate courts, seven of which are clay and one hard court, cater to all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just picking up a racquet for the first time, the 300 Club offers a welcoming environment to learn, play, and compete.
Pickleball: A Growing Trend
The 300 Club recognizes the rising popularity of pickleball, a fun and fast-paced paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. They've dedicated space on their tennis courts for pickleball enthusiasts, offering a vibrant community where players of all skill levels can enjoy this dynamic activity.
More Than Fitness: A Focus on Community
The 300 Club goes beyond providing its members with access to top-notch facilities. They cultivate a strong sense of community, fostering connections and creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Members can participate in social events like pool parties or holiday gatherings, making the club more than just a gym – it becomes a place to connect with neighbors and forge lasting friendships.
A Commitment to Growth: Learning and Development
The 300 Club understands that continuous learning is key to maximizing your fitness journey. They offer a variety of instructional programs to help members reach their full potential. Tennis lessons are available for all ages and skill levels, taught by experienced and certified professionals. For those seeking to improve their swimming technique, private swim lessons provide personalized instruction to elevate their aquatic skills.
A Family-Friendly Atmosphere
The 300 Club recognizes the importance of family time and offers activities designed to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for the whole family. From splashing around in the pool to taking a tennis lesson together, the club provides a space where families can bond while prioritizing their well-being.
Beyond Memberships: A Welcoming Environment
The 300 Club recognizes that not everyone is ready for a full membership. That's why they offer the option of day passes, allowing you to experience the facilities and activities before committing. This open-door policy ensures that everyone has the opportunity to discover the joys of fitness and community offered by the 300 Club.
Supporting Local Businesses: A Commitment to Partnership
