The grapevine is alive and well here in Broadway Virginia and you may have heard that a new gym is opening in the Hartz building where North Fork Family Fitness has previously operated. The Hartz building, a former manufacturing facility, is home to several small businesses. Steel Mill Gym will now join, Air Quality Systems, Auto Krafters and Elite Insulation in what used to be a manufacturing plant.
Owners and operators Chad and Tina Dellinger along with their son and daughter are excited to fulfill a dream they have had for many years to open their own fitness facility. This dream was born when Chad and his brother, avid members at Nautilus years ago experienced it closing. At that time the opportunity to open his own gym was just not possible, however, when opportunity knocked this time around The Dellinger family was ready to answer!
Chad and Tina enjoy training with all types of people who wish to improve their health, from those with a casual interest to those who are elite athletes. Everyone is welcome at Steel Mill Gym. Tina says, “Chad is the guy that people in a gym gravitate towards for camaraderie and his knowledge of fitness training”. Which is fine with Chad because he enjoys sharing his knowledge and encouragement with others.
Steel Mill Gym is scheduled to open in February of 2022 and there will be no charge for joining or using the gym that month. During the month of February new equipment will be installed to upgrade existing machines as part of the process of transition from one fitness company to another. A few of the new things added will be a 15ft. x 70ft. training turf, power lifting racks and deadlift platforms as well as new cardio equipment.
Open 24 hours a day 7 days a week people will be able to access the space using a door code assigned to them when signing up. All ages from 12 years and up are welcome to train at the gym in a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment.
Building a community of fitness minded people is important to both Chad and Tina. The three independent contractors that currently operate out of the space will continue to do so. Kathi Shilling, Dawn Madaris and Margaret Halterman teach courses entitled “Bootcamp”, “Cardio Movement”, “Super Seniors Lit Class” and Yoga. The Flying Tiger Kung Fu lead by Dwight Smith will also continue.
