Sponsor Corner:Meet Hamburg Fitness Center & Camp
Team Hometown Sponsors are so much more than a logo on a jersey. Our Sponsors live the lifestyle we promote and actively participate in the sport we love!
Enjoy our interview series with each of our Sponsors – courtesy of your Events Coordinator Leslie. Learn what makes them tick, the services they offer, AND crazy fun trivia about these amazing people who have chosen to support your Team!
First, some background!
Hamburg Fitness Center & Camp is your one-stop, family fitness resource center. In addition to miles of outdoor trails and recreation, they are known for their 42,000 sq. ft. health club. You will find all of the cardio and weight equipment that you would expect from a modern gym, plus many additional features that make them unique
Unique in what ways?
Hamburg Fitness Center is different than most other gyms, as they not only have a cycle studio but also offer cycle class as part of membership. Members are also able to use the pool, hot tub and sauna for conditioning, cross training, and healing sore muscles. As a family-friendly facility, they not only have something to offer cyclists but the whole family. Their motto: “The family that plays together, stays together!”
How did Hamburg Fitness Center connect with Hometown Bicycles?
Initially, Hamburg Fitness connected by recommending Hometown as a resource for their Triathlete Team. Since then, collaboration has continued and grown. Hamburg Fitness would like to participate in many Hometown events, including Women’s Nights and activities with Team Hometown Bicycles, as well as events sponsored at their facility, such as their Health & Fitness Expo. On the wish list… specialty rides with Dawn or Shaun!

What do Deb and Terry like to do in Michigan?
Some favorite things include biking, hiking, kayaking and swimming.
Give us some advice on coping with the long winter ahead…
Blast those winter blues by staying active, visit the gym for a class, shoot hoops or just a soak in the hot tub. Find an outdoor sport or activity, whether it’s walking, cross country skiing or snow boarding to do once or twice a week. Find a group of people who enjoy the same activities as you — everything is always more fun with a friend!
We’re excited to collaborate with Hamburg Fitness in the new year. Keep reading our newsletters for updates on the fun we’re planning!
