Indulge in a Boot Camp. Try Aerial Yoga. Get a free chiropractic adjustment. And then join others in Hip Hop Dance.

The new Gravity Fitness and Tennis will hold its ribbon cutting and grand opening from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8. And it’s offering the community a chance to try everything out free of charge that day.

The facility is located on the site of the old Copper Ranch Health Club at 1970 Woodside Blvd. in Hailey.

“We’re going to have really good free food from Zou 75 and Street Tacos. And plenty of giveaways, including tennis rackets and personal training sessions,” said Oliver Whitcomb, who opened the new  facility with Mats Wilander, a former No. 1 World tennis player from Sweden., who won seven Grand Slam singles titles, as well as a Grand Slam men’s doubles title at Wimbledon.

“I’m so excited. It’s a gorgeous facility—a huge gorgeous place,” Whitcomb said. “We have three indoor tennis courts, state-of-the-art gym equipment and a huge 3,700-square-foot functional training studio.  I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Here’s Saturday’s schedule:

9 a.m. Boot Camp Class

11 a.m. Aerial Yoga

2-4 p.m. Chiropractic Adjustments by Hailey Chiropractic Dean Rutherford

4-8 p.m. Free Street Tacos and Sushi

4-5 p.m. Martial Arts Board Breaking and Black Belt Demonstrations

5-6 p.m. Tennis Exhibition Match featuring Mats Wilander

6 p.m. Free Raffles and Giveaways

7 p.m. Hip Hop Dance

The 40,000-square-foot Gravity Fitness & Tennis opened with the goal of providing youth and adults of all ages and abilities with opportunities to train in ways that are affordable and promote better health.

It offers tennis lessons provided by world class tennis instructors, such as Wilander, and martial arts, breathing and stretch work offered  by Whitcomb. It will also provide traditional gym workouts, functional training and group exercise classes, such as Zumba.

Classes include Reboot Yoga for athletic recovery; high intensity interval training; I.B.A.M., which uses integrated breath and movement to optimize performance; Body Fusion, a blend of yoga, Pilates and cardio; aerobic kick boxing; Zen Den and Do Jang,  and a class to combat chronic pain and aging.

There’s even something called Tribe Team Training, a small group personal training class that originated in New Zealand.

Basic gym memberships start at $25 a month.
