Grand Re-Opening of Peachtree Corners Tennis Facility Just Weeks Away

The long-anticipated unveiling of LifeTime Athletic at Peachtree Corners, formerly known as Racquet Club of The South, is expected in early September.

Long-time Peachtree Corners residents can recall the once vibrant Racquet Club of the South located off of Peachtree Corners Circle. The tennis mecca opened in 1975 and was once an active club for serious tennis players and families who were drawn to the club's other amenities including the fitness center, pool and restaurant.

But the club declined over the years and its membership dropped. Now new owners have breathed new life into the tennis mecca - and given it a new name, LifeTime Athletic at Peachtree Corners. The transformation from over a year's worth of work - is almost complete said the club's general manager Lane McCleary.

"People are going to be blown away when they see the new club," said McCleary. "There's not a square inch of it that hasn't been redone."

With construction nearly complete, the club will begin moving out of its temporary headquarters and into the new facility beginning the first of next month.

Barring any major weather delays, McCleary said the front desk, locker room, children center and eight indoor tennis courts are expected to be open and ready for member use by August 1.

Then 15 days later the Life Cafe, bar, lounge and cardio workout area is expected to open. And finally on September 5, the remaining work will be complete and a big grand opening party is planned. Everyone is invited to attend.

The fitness center expansion will be finished as well as the 20 outdoor tennis courts, which have all been completely resurfaced. In addition new shade pavilion and major landscaping work will complete the transformation.

To celebrate, LifeTime Athletic is offering a special founder promotion, said McCleary. For more information visit the club's website or call 770-449-6060.

LifeTime Athletic at Peachtree Corners is located at 6350 Courtside Drive, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092.
