LEGACY CENTER TRANSITION FAQ

 

About the Decision 

Why is Four Seasons selling the Legacy Center?
After extensive evaluation of our facilities, member usage patterns, and long-term sustainability, we determined that concentrating our future investments at Airport Road is the best path to strengthen Four Seasons for future generations. 

The Legacy Center requires significant ongoing investments due to the age of the building and major infrastructure needs, while usage patterns have increasingly shifted toward Airport Road. This decision allows us to focus our resources where they can have the greatest impact on member experience. 

Was this decision made suddenly?
No. This decision follows more than a year of evaluation and operational adjustments. 

In August 2025, we transitioned FS1 into the Legacy Center model to reduce operating expenses while preserving member access and programming. While those changes improved efficiency, continued decreases in facility utilization and growing maintenance needs made additional action necessary. 

Is Four Seasons Health Club closing?
No. Four Seasons Health Club is not closing. We remain fully committed to serving Bloomington-Normal and investing in the future of our organization. This transition allows us to strengthen our long-term sustainability and continue investing in member experience. 

Is Four Seasons experiencing financial difficulties?
No. Like many organizations, we continuously evaluate how to best allocate resources to remain strong for the future. This decision is about long-term sustainability and ensuring we can continue investing in facilities, services, and member experiences for decades to come. 

Why not continue operating both facilities?
Operating multiple facilities requires significant ongoing investment. Concentrating resources into Airport Road allows us to create the strongest possible experience for the greatest number of members while protecting the long-term future of Four Seasons.

Programs & Amenities 

What happens to water aerobics classes?
We know aquatics programs have been an important part of many members' fitness routines. To continue supporting those members, we are working to expand our selection of low impact fitness classes that provide many of the same benefits people enjoy from aquatic exercise. These land-based classes will focus on improving strength, mobility, balance, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness while remaining accessible and joint friendly. We look forward to offering additional opportunities that help members stay active, healthy, and moving comfortably. 

What happens to swim lessons and basketball training?
We are working closely with partners to determine future opportunities. Partners will communicate updates directly to participants and families. 

What happens to the indoor track?
The indoor track will no longer be available starting September 1, 2026. We are evaluating additional walking and fitness opportunities at Airport Road. 

What happens to basketball, volleyball, pickleball, racquetball, and badminton?
We are currently evaluating each program individually and will communicate any future plans. 

What happens to Karate?
Karate will continue and will be relocated to our Airport Road location. We are currently evaluating studio availability and scheduling options to determine class times that best accommodate our Karate participants while integrating the program into the Airport Road schedule. As a result, class days and times have not yet been finalized. Our goal is to provide a smooth transition and maintain a high-quality Karate experience for participants and families. Additional details will be communicated as the schedule is confirmed. 

What happens to Summer Camp?
We are currently evaluating options for the future of our Summer Camp program, with the goal of relocating it to our Airport Road location. 

As part of this transition, we are looking at ways to enhance the overall camp experience by creating more opportunities for kids to stay active, engage in wellness-focused activities, and participate in fun, enriching programs throughout the summer. 

 

Airport Road & The Future of Four Seasons

Airport Road has become the primary destination for member activity, fitness, wellness services, training, group fitness, and future growth opportunities. Concentrating investments there allows us to create the strongest possible member experience.
