As you walk into Club Loveland, you don’t expect to find a fitness haven that feels so welcoming and unpretentious. From the outside, it appears modest—almost like a neighborhood secret. But step through the doors, and the true scope of the space reveals itself. It’s deceivingly larger inside than it appears, with sunlight streaming through windows, bouncing off state-of-the-art equipment, and an energy that immediately feels warm and inviting.
This is more than just your average cookie-cutter gym.
The first thing that strikes you is the genuine friendliness of the staff. From the receptionist greeting you with a smile to the trainers offering encouragement, it feels as though every employee is genuinely invested in your wellness journey. “We really pride ourselves on the cleanliness, the friendliness, and the functionality of the club,” says owner Todd Heenan. His passion is evident, and it’s easy to see why members keep coming back.
Todd doesn’t just manage Club Loveland; as the owner, he embodies its heart and soul. His philosophy goes beyond physical fitness, touching on mental and emotional health as well. “The key to a long-term health and wellness plan is you have to get into a routine,” he shares. “You have to make yourself do it. Once you do that, you create a lifestyle change.”
He’s not wrong. Walking around the facility, you can see the rhythm of wellness playing out—people in a spin class powering through the last leg of their ride, friends meeting up for a yoga session, or a trainer guiding a member through a customized plan. Every corner of the club hums with purpose. But what sets Club Loveland apart is its approach to education. Seminars cover a wide range of topics, from financial wellness to stress management, ensuring that members leave empowered with knowledge, not just sweat.
One of the most inspiring aspects of Club Loveland is its commitment to community. Todd emphasizes that this isn’t just a gym—it’s a gathering place where relationships are built, and people are supported. Todd’s personal dedication to community shines through in every decision he makes. Whether it’s donating to local events, or sponsoring raffles, he ensures that Club Loveland isn’t just a business within the community—it’s a part of the community. “The more that you’re out there giving into the community, the more I think the community will support you and respect you,” he adds.
For anyone feeling daunted by starting or restarting their fitness journey, Club Loveland makes it easy. Every new member receives a complimentary 45-minute session with a personal trainer, designed to jumpstart their routine. “The trainers have knowledge,” Todd says. “They’re going to make you do things you wouldn’t ever do on your own. They’ll push you a little harder than you would push yourself, but it’s the appointment that really has an impact.”
With over 60 group exercise classes each week—everything from Pilates to Zumba—there’s something for everyone. The club also boasts a pristine swimming pool, steam room, and hot tub with a spa-like ambiance in its locker rooms. “We work tirelessly keeping our facility very, very clean,” Todd shares. “I have a company that comes in every two months and does preventative maintenance on all of our equipment.”
Perhaps what’s most inspiring about Club Loveland is Todd’s unwavering accessibility and authenticity. His office, positioned by the cardio area, is intentionally visible. “I’m in a fishbowl up by the cardio area so everybody can see me,” he says. “If you have something you want to say to me—or just say hi—I’m right here. You don’t have to look for me.” For Todd, it all comes down to one thing: the people. “I’ve always been a very gregarious person, and I like being around people,” he says. “If you make yourself accessible, that shows you’ve got confidence in what you’re doing.” And at Club Loveland, that confidence is contagious.
January is the perfect time to start fresh, and Club Loveland is ready to help you make lasting changes. Todd offers practical advice for anyone embarking on a health and wellness journey: “You must be patient. You can’t expect that you put the weight on and it’s going to come off in a month. You’ve got to make sure that you really set some goals and be ready to make some changes.”
Walking out of Club Loveland, you feel something you didn’t expect: inspiration, because there is a sense of being part of a place that genuinely cares about your success. It’s this personal touch that makes the difference. At Club Loveland, you’re not just another membership number. You're part of something larger—a community that uplifts and encourages, a space designed to inspire and empower.
“I think that's what the members truly like about the facility, the club, and the staff is that it's just unassuming, and everybody is there for fun and to try and improve their health.”
