Installers with Marathon Fitness are working today to deliver and install 31 pieces of weight and cardio equipment to the new West University Place Recreation Center. They had to take apart each piece of equipment to move it through the doorway, then reassemble the machines inside the weight room. Everything is on track for an open house on April 10 and 11, and a grand opening on April 12. As of Thursday, 121 West U. residents had purchased memberships to the center, said Recreation Manager Brittany Bakes.
Todd Shipe, Josh Torres and Jesus Lara, all installers with Marathon Fitness, said it would be a two-day job to deliver and assemble the equipment. They considered it a mid-sized job.
