📍 Meet at 2nd Street & St. Joseph Avenue

Since opening its doors in 1979, The Belmont Athletic Club has been a cornerstone of our district, offering a full-service fitness experience that has evolved with the community it serves—from personal training and group fitness classes to wellness services, youth programs, and more.

A particularly meaningful chapter in its story began in 2012, when founders John and Jan Doyle retired. Rather than selling to outside investors, they passed the torch to the very people who helped build the club’s legacy—its employees. A formal Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was created, and today the club remains locally operated by a team of dedicated employee-owners who carry on the Doyles’ values and vision.

We’re proud to recognize 45 years of impact—on the street, in the community, and in the lives of countless Belmont Shore residents—and we hope you’ll join us in honoring this remarkable achievement.
