Finger Lakes Fit Celebrates Expansion with Ribbon Cutting and 1st Annual 5K

PENN YAN, NY — Finger Lakes Fit marked an exciting new chapter in its growth with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, June 7th to celebrate the gym’s recent expansion. The event, hosted in conjunction with the Yates County Chamber of Commerce, followed the 1st Annual Finger Lakes Fit 5K Run and Walk, which welcomed community members of all ages for a morning of movement and wellness.



Located in Penn Yan, Finger Lakes Fit has served as a hub for fitness and health-minded individuals. With the expansion, the gym now offers additional space for group fitness classes, new equipment, and enhanced amenities to better serve its growing membership. Penn Yan is the second location the gym has opened, with Watkins Glen being the first and original location. 



The Yates County Chamber of Commerce recognized Finger Lakes Fit’s dedication to promoting health and wellness in the region. “It’s inspiring to see a local business not only grow, but also take such an active role in the community’s well-being,” said Jody Tyler, Director of Member Services of the Yates County Chamber of Commerce. “We’re thrilled to celebrate Finger Lakes Fit’s expansion and look forward to seeing their continued impact in Yates County and beyond.”

“Our mission has always been to make fitness accessible, welcoming, and part of everyday life for everyone in the community,” said William Bowers, owner of Finger Lakes Fit. “This expansion is a reflection of the incredible support we’ve received from our members and neighbors. We’re excited to grow with Penn Yan and continue building a space where people feel empowered to reach their health goals.” 



Finger Lakes Fit offers 24/7 access with no additional monthly fees, providing members flexibility to include fitness into their schedule. Whether someone is a resident or just passing through the region, the gym is a welcoming place to stay active, healthy, and connected.
