With thousands of members making a splash in our pools this summer, we could not be more grateful to have our amazing team of 110 lifeguards spread across four athletic club locations.  They’re more than just a friendly face and a whistle—they’re guardians of our safety and well-being. ❤️

Drop a thank you in the comments for all our MVP lifeguards out there making a difference every day! ✨

The belt is back and MVP Metro Club has secured the quarterly overall win. 🥇

On Friday, our corporate services team shared a lunch with the construction team working on our new pickleball facility at MVP Crahen. We had a great time seeing the progress on the facility and chatting with the team. Thanks to Lakewood Construction for all their work, we are excited to be getting closer to opening our doors! 🥳

When MVP Holland member Donna reported a missing diamond from her ring, team members were immediately on the hunt to find it. The problem? Donna wasn’t sure where it went missing. She had visited the indoor pool but didn’t find it there herself. That day, team member Lora Dykstra was working at the desk and received the report. She and her teammates began to address the concerns, writing down any details they could gather and searching everywhere for the diamond. Team members combed the pool and hot tub, as they re-traced Donna’s steps. They left with no luck and the diamond remained missing.

Later that week, Lora decided to go for a swim. The memory of the missing ring was still fresh in her mind as she paddled. As she swam, she spotted the glint of something at the bottom of the pool. She dove to the bottom of the pool and was excited to see the missing diamond, sitting right next to the drain. Lora called the team members on duty and contacted Donna. Donna’s husband came immediately and explained that the ring was also a family heirloom, expressing gratitude for the search.

Now, Donna and Lora have struck up a friendship and often see each other around MVP. Their special bond is something that comes from a stressful situation turned happy. Thanks to the dedication of team members, Donna now has her ring back, safe and sound. We are so grateful for our team members, who not only put in the work to go above and beyond, but also care deeply for members. Helping others often isn’t about heroic gestures, but everyday actions that lead us to healthy, strong, and thriving communities that change lives.

We are loving Pilates at Metro! 🥰 Want to try? Join us Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:05pm! Plus, it’s 30 minutes, which makes it the perfect lunch break.

Pilates is also offered at all of our clubs! This class is truly perfect for everyone, using resistance and controlled movements to activate the muscles and target a deep core engagement. Check it out!

Trophy Check! In April, MVP Metro Club secured BOTH the friendliness and cleanliness trophy from MVP Crahen. Way to go team! ⭐️ Where will they end up next? 👀

Over the past two weekends, pickleball players have gathered for friendly competition and fun at our club tournaments! Thank you to all who competed and made this tournament a blast. We look forward to seeing you all on the court soon!

In the month of March, MVP Holland held a swim challenge called the Pier 2 Pier relay. 🏊️ Teams consisting of five individuals are tasked to swim the length from the Grand Haven to Holland pier. The winning team, named "Team Awesome" decided to meet up at New Holland Brewery for drinks to celebrate! This team met because of MVP and have bonded over the years due to aquatics challenges. This year is the second year that Team Awesome has participated together and they are already excited for next year's challenge! Way to go team, you certainly are awesome. ⭐️

It's time for a spring refresh! 💐 On Monday, April 15th, our spring group exercise schedule begins. New schedule, new classes!
