We want to inform you of proposed changes to OAC rates and services; Council discussed them at the Committee of the Whole on April 13, held the first reading on April 27, and will vote on May 11th. If the changes are Council approved, they will go into effect on June 1, 2026.

We want to inform you of proposed changes to OAC rates and services; Council discussed them at the Committee of the Whole on April 13, held the first reading on April 27, and will vote on May 11th. If the changes are Council approved, they will go into effect on June 1, 2026. Monthly Membership Rates Junior (Resident & Non-Resident): $15 Adult (Resident): $20 Adult (Non-Resident): $35 Senior (Resident): $7 Senior (Non-Resident): $25 Personal Training $30 per session Golf Simulator Updates Simulators will be members-only (no day pass access) Simulator Rental Rates: Resident: $50 per 2-hour block Non-Resident: $100 per 2-hour block Up to four Obetz Athletic Club members can use a rented bay at a time Why Are These Changes Being Proposed? The Obetz Athletic Club has not raised membership rates since opening in 2010. We have always tried to keep prices low for our community. Since then, costs have gone up for staffing, supplies, and maintenance. Right now, the gym is losing money at a level that cannot continue long-term. These changes will help reduce that gap while still keeping prices affordable compared to other gyms. Auto-Billing Update As memberships expire after June 1, we will begin transitioning all memberships to an auto-billing format. This process will be completed in person. This change will help reduce lapses in memberships and improve access control to the facility. Please bring updated proof of residency at that time. Youth members must have a parent or guardian present during enrollment. A Note to Our Members We know rate increases are not easy. This decision was not made lightly. Our goal is to keep the Obetz Athletic Club clean, safe, and high-quality for years to come. Thank you for your understanding and support. The Obetz Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on May 13, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Obetz Government Center located at 4175 Alum Creek Drive to review a request for a Conditional Use Permit at 4685 Groveport Road for a wall.   The Applicant, Shasta Beverages, is adding a CO2 tank necessitating the need for a new 60’ section of wall to screen the tank.  The existing wall will be removed.  A copy of the above request can be reviewed at the Obetz Government Center during normal business hours. The post Proposed Changes to OAC Rates & Policies appeared first on City of Obetz.
