The Grand Bend Fitness Centre, which is geared towards providing fitness, health and sports programs, will be opening in the village this fall. The 9000 sq. ft. facility will be located on the cor- ner of Ontario and Oak streets. The fitness centre is the culmination of more than a year's worth of planning and develop- ment by Port Frank resi- dents Paul and Patti .Wisniewski. Originally the couple was just going to open a state of the art fit- • ness centre, but after researching the project a secondary opportunity emerged. "Almost everyone we spoke to immediately agreed that a fitness cen- tre was a great idea and something that is really needed" said Patti, "and most of them also com- plained that there is just not enough to do in this area for adults and kids."

We've had to take this into account in set- ting up a wide variety of membership and payment plans," explained Patti.
