On Friday Jan. 14, the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce held its official ribbon cutting for Onelife Fitness Center, the county’s new fitness sports club off of Marketplace Parkway. 

Chamber members gathered at the gym to meet its managers, cut the ribbon and get a tour of the new facility’s amenities. 

Shannon Voss, the chamber’s 2022 Board Chair, spoke during the ceremony, welcoming the new business to the community. Voss said that she and the rest of the board are excited to have Onelife in the community, and that judging by the number of cars already in the parking lot she is confident that Onelife will do well. 

Brody Lively, the general manager of the new fitness center, also spoke during the ribbon cutting ceremony, saying that he is excited to have the fitness center officially open and that he looks forward to serving the community through the gym. 

“We’re super excited to be here; we appreciate Dawson County allowing us to come in here and really greeting us with open arms,” Lively said. 

The new gym is a 50,000 square foot, two level fitness center offering a myriad of ways to work out for all levels of experience. It includes state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment, a cardio cinema, an indoor saltwater pool, hydromassage and tanning beds, a large Kid’s Club and a stadium style cycle studio, and offers many studio classes including Zumba, BodyPump, Step, GRIT, Barre, Yoga and Pilates. 

“Our mission is to deliver the ultimate fitness experience to every member every time, and that’s what we try to do every day,” Lively said.
