The Ridge

Tanning Bed

2012-01-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

We are so excited about offering tanning at the Ridge. We are currently in the process of building a room for our new high tech bed with face tanners and fans. When we get it up and going, hopefully in the next week or so, we will be offering a free month of tanning with a new membership. Get fit and look great. Get rid of those winter blues. We will be scheduling tans by appointment only for now.

Racquetball Leagues

Lat pull down & row machine

We spent our weekend on a buying spree! Yep, new equipment at the club and I can't wait to use it. We have invested in some circuit equipment for our members (and me because I am super excited to use it to rehab my knee & shoulder). Made by paramount, it is top of the line gym equipment. Take some time and come check it out. We also got a much requested stair stepper by Cybex. Yeah! Oh and maybe a tanning bed in the future? We are growing to fit your needs.

Batting Cages are Up

2011-11-10T12:17:00.001-07:00

We have been getting lots of calls as to when our batting cages will be up again for the season. I think everyone got really excited watching the World Series! Anyway, just a heads up. We will be putting our cages up next week, as in Monday! Yeah! Our policy and pricing will be similar to last year concerning the cages.

Because many of you do a month to month membership it is very hard to track so we have made the following adjustments.

All memberships will be prorated to the 1st of each month, from the time you sign up. This means that all month to month memberships will come due on the 1st day of each month. It is up to you to make sure your payment is made by that time. If it is not you will show up to find your code disabled (not fun for you or me). You are more than welcome to pay in advance or to have it withdrawn directly from your account via ACH (this is easiest for me).

Fees are as follows for the batting cages:

Monthly $30 and $10 per month for each additional family member

come as a guest with a member $5

3 month or more membership DEAL $25 per month (must do ACH or pay in full)

one time basis $8 (must schedule for time)

Team rates ($5 dollars per team member without a membership, must have at least 10 players to reserve the facility for 1 1/2 hours, and get this pricing)

Thursday nights will be open gym night again $5 per person

The Ridge Membership

A membership to The Ridge includes unlimited access to the batting cages while they are up (usually December to the end of June).

Individual membership $25

one additional family member $10

Family Membership $45

The Ridge Memberships are done on an annual contract basis only. They must be paid in full up front or withdrawn via ACH withdrawl from your account.

Tournament Results

These Guys went "ALL OUT", Kevin Bott (with one of his many dives) playing Steve Daw

The Racquetball Madness Tournament was a great time had by all. It was one of the the funnest tournaments I have been to just because of all of the local talent that participated. One person commented that for such a small community we have GREAT racquetball talent, another wanted us to have the tournament monthly or quarterly. We had 34 participants, all from the Idaho Falls and Rexburg area. During the tournament we also had an exhibition of British Racquetball, a variation of racquetball played in other areas. If you want to get a workout this is the game to play. Gene Hayes, recently moved from Arizona, and brought it to our club where it has been a hit. Thanks to everyone that participated and also to our sponsors. Here is a list of the tournament results.

Monthly Update - Kandee Boice

2009-05-12T14:46:00.012-06:00

Well, we have been open for almost 2 months and have been so excited with the way things have been running. Our members are awesome and take care of the place like it's their own, which is exactly what we were hoping for. It is so personal and friendly and a great place to go spend time with your family getting some exercise. We are taking suggestions and trying to accomodate as much as possible and have been excited with the results.

We have been improving the recreation center over the past month and now have sound panels which have greatly improved the acoustics. We have accomodated business meetings, birthday parties, company parties & dances.

Our biggest event was the Madison High School Commencment Dance - held last Saturday. They decorated inside and out and danced the night away, inside and out, in the parking lot! They must have been all warm and cozy with excitement because it was cold! It went off almost without a hitch and we learned a few things for the next big event, such as telling people where they are allowed to park! I hear rave reviews that the kids had a great time, the decorations were awesome. It was one of the largest attended dances in school history. Yahoo!

Our next big event is this weekend for a wedding. Things are looking great and the more the word gets out the more bookings we are getting! We have had a few baseball teams and individuals in using the batting cages and hope to get the word out a little more on those. Thanks to all who have supported us so far, this is great!
