Louisiana Athletic Club celebrates its 20th anniversary April 20

April 13, 2021

PINEVILLE, La. – The Louisiana Athletic Club has a series of special events planned this month to coincide with its 20th anniversary.

The venue, which was established in 2001 and was jointly owned by CHRISTUS and LC for 19 years, is now solely owned by Louisiana College following the transfer of ownership last year.

LAC will celebrate its anniversary on April 20 at 3 p.m. with refreshments, treats and door prizes along with performances by the Louisiana College band and LAC tap ladies. School President Rick Brewer, club manager Ronnie Schwartz and a representative from CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria will deliver remarks and the public is encouraged to attend.

“LC continues the outstanding tradition that LAC had with Cabrini for many years,” Brewer said. “And we will continue to work to improve upon the outstanding service that people have grown accustomed to receiving over the last two decades.”

Louisiana Athletic Club also will reveal new logos to coincide with the anniversary celebration, which will more clearly identify its affiliation with the college. The club will be re-launching its pro shop with new apparel featuring the rebranded logos.

Leading up to the celebration, LAC will host a group exercise mixer on April 17 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The event is open to the public.

Visit the LAC Facebook events page to view the schedule of fitness classes offered at the mixer or call the gym at 318.487.1000 to sign up to attend.

Also, LAC is offering a membership special through April 20 for new members to join the gym for $20 at sign up, which includes single, couple and family plans. No additional enrollment fee is required, and the standard 12-month commitment is reduced to a 6-month agreement.

Social distancing will be practiced, and attendees should wear masks.
