Simulators Jim Cragg (left), and Golf Pro Barry
(Pudge) Pearson (right), are pictured in one of the
golf simulators at the new facility. This simulated
practice run took them to an actual course in
Hawaii.
Links Fitness & Indoor Golf Simulators recently opened at 250 Marlboro
Street (the old David Ford building) in
Keene. This state-of-the-art fitness center offers some unique twists: 24-hour
access for members to work out on their
own time, and a chance to learn how to
golf or to improve golf skills using one
of the golf simulators.
“You’re only limited by your own
schedule,” says certified personal
trainer and co-owner of this fitness
establishment, Julie McNamee, about
the convenience of the 24-hour access.
And, because of Links Fitness being
always open (even holidays), the facility is heavily equipped with security
cameras, a wall panic button, and wearable panic button lanyards.
Links Fitness is staffed daily from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. by McNamee and coowner Jim Cragg. The two are happy to
have local golf pro Barry (Pudge) Pearson onboard as well. “Everyone in the
area knows Pudge,” says McNamee.
Pearson offers private and semiprivate golf lessons from beginner to
advanced level of players, and supervises golf leagues at Links Fitness. So
far, they are seeing a big interest with
avid golfers who want to keep up with
their golf game. The golf simulators –
which can be used during staffed hours
– can take golfers to 84 real golf courses
around the world.
Personal training – tailored to a
person’s specific needs – is available
for individuals or small groups at Links
Fitness. “There are no judgements and
no intimidation here,” adds McNamee.
“Whether you haven’t exercised in a
while, or not at all, we can help.”
The facility offers modular functional training stations, treadmills,
elliptical machines, and bikes with
built-in televisions, circuit training machines, free weights, a Smith machine,
and a water rower. And, there are large
screen televisions throughout the fitness center, so there’s no missing that
important game.
Links Fitness will have its Grand
Opening on Saturday, January 24th
from 10 a.m. to noon. WKNE will
have a radio remote during this time,
and there will be contests on the golf
simulators and drawings for gift cards,
memberships, and golf lessons. See the
ad on page 18.
