DOWNTOWN FITNESS
DOWNTOWN FITNESS. In 1997 Downtown Fitness was located at 880 White and was involved in renovation. Construction was needed to provide additional rest rooms, massage therapy, stretching and abdominal exercises, and move its child-care facilities.
In June 1997 CATHEDRAL SQUARE FITNESS CENTER, owned by Dubuque Physical Therapy, was purchased by Downtown Fitness. Cathedral Square had operated for eleven years and had 450 members. Dubuque Physical Therapy had recently expanded to a location at the West Side Orthopaedic and Neurology Clinic building and no longer wanted to maintain the fitness center. With the purchase, Downtown Fitness had expanded its offerings to include weight machines and free weights, martial arts, more cardiovascular equipment, personal training and aerobics.
