    Thirty Years

    Cue the confetti and grab your gym shoes—The Fit Stop Health Club is turning 30! For three decades, this Heber Valley staple has been more than just a place to lift weights and count reps; it’s been a second home for fitness lovers, wellness warriors, and anyone looking to break a sweat while having a blast.

    From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the energy. Whether it’s the high-fives after a killer group workout, the buzz of the smoothie bar blending up post-workout fuel, or the excited chatter of kids in the childcare center, The Fit Stop is all about fostering a fun and supportive community.

    Workouts That Feel Like a Party

    Let’s be honest—exercise is way more fun when you’re surrounded by friends. The Fit Stop’s group fitness classes are packed with energy, motivation, and plenty of sweat! Whether you’re flowing through yoga poses, dancing your heart out to Zumba beats, or pushing through a strength session, these classes turn working out into an experience you’ll actually look forward to. As Jackie Bonner, Programs Director, puts it, “Our employees are the heart and soul of everything we do.” And they definitely “bring it” to each and every group fitness class.

    More Than Just a Gym

    Sure, The Fit Stop has all the weights, treadmills, and fitness gadgets you could ask for, but that’s just the beginning. Need a little extra motivation? Personal trainers are ready to help you reach your fitness goals. Sore muscles? A massage therapist is on hand to work out those knots. Want that summer glow year-round? Tanning services have you covered. And don’t forget the smoothie bar—because nothing says “I crushed my workout” like sipping on a delicious, nutrient-packed shake.

    Fun for the Whole Family

    Parents, rejoice! The Fit Stop makes it easy to focus on your fitness with its on-site childcare services. And for the little athletes in the making, youth programs encourage kids and teens to build healthy habits from an early age.

    Looking for a family-friendly and safe adventure? Check out The Crag, The Fit Stop’s dedicated climbing wall. Every Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, families can challenge themselves together during the Family Climb program—because bonding over a shared fear of heights is totally a thing!

    Healing & Wellness Under One Roof

    The Fit Stop isn’t just about getting fit—it’s about staying healthy. With a state-of-the-art Fyzical therapy and balance center on-site, members can access expert physical therapy and manual therapy services, blending rehabilitation and exercise for a full-circle approach to wellness.

    Here’s to 30 More Years of Fitness & Fun!

    “This anniversary isn’t just about celebrating the past 30 years—it’s about looking forward to the future,” says Jackie. “We are grateful for the commitment of our members and families that have carried us this far. Thank you for being a part of our story.”

    For three decades, The Fit Stop has been the place where “everybody knows your name” (cue the Cheers theme song, “da, da, da, da, da-da”). It’s where friendships are made, goals are crushed, and the community comes together in the name of health and happiness. Here’s to 30 more years of sweating, smiling, and supporting each other!

  • Fireworks to Celebrate Utah on January 4th!

    Fireworks to Celebrate Utah on January 4th!

    Wasatch County and the State of Utah will celebrate together on Monday, January 4th. The event, Thrive 125, commemorates the 125th anniversary of Utah’s statehood.

    The festivities include a televised event called “Thrive125: A Utah Celebration.” The 30-minute special will play on all of Utah’s network affiliates at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of the 4th. There will also be a repeat showing on PBS Utah at 8:30 p.m. that night. The show will feature performances from notable Utahns and celebrities. There will be music and dance, along with a celebration of the state’s “artistic heritage, cultural diversity, and scenic wonders,” according to the website.

    Following the original broadcast, at 7:30 p.m., fireworks will fill the sky in all 29 counties of Utah. Wasatch County’s fireworks will originate from the top of Memorial Hill in Midway.

    In a video message, Heber City Mayor Kelleen Potter said, “We want everyone to watch them, but to just be socially distanced from wherever you are.” The Thrive 125 website states, “It is important that this celebration is COVID safe. People are encouraged to watch from a distance, in their cars, and in their front and back yards. The fireworks will be an exclamation point on a day of celebrations and in most counties will last 3-4 minutes.”

    Utah became a state on January 4, 1896. State leaders applied for statehood seven times before receiving approval. The complicated process lasted 48 years. Utah finally became the 45th state to join the United States of America.

    The Utah Department of Heritage & Arts created the Thrive 125 initiative, with support from Utah’s Governor and Legislature. More information about the event and Utah’s road to statehood is available on the Thrive 125 website: https://thrive125.utah.gov/january4th-event/. The site also includes a 12-minute historical video and additional resources for educators.
