Acac Acquires La Maison Health & Fitness in Latest Expansion
The Virginia-based acac Fitness & Wellness Centers now counts 14 locations across three states
La Maison Health & Fitness, a family-owned fitness club serving the Main Line neighborhood of Philadelphia, has been acquired by Virginia-based acac Fitness & Wellness Centers. The facility will soon be rebranded under the acac name.
The move gives acac 14 clubs in Virginia, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.
“We’re thrilled to be part of the vibrant and active Main Line community,” said acac CEO Chris Craytor. “Our plan is to improve the member experience in the form of new equipment, system upgrades and cosmetic enhancements.”
Current La Maison members will be able to upgrade their memberships and access acac’s other nearby health and fitness facilities in West Chester and Eagleview, Pa.
“We are excited that the 40-year legacy of La Maison Health & Fitness will continue under the ownership of acac, another family-owned fitness organization,” said Stephanie Sposato, president of La Maison.
Sposato took to social media to follow up on the news of the deal, assuring members that La Maison staff have been welcomed into acac’s operations.
“We feel that acac will keep the family feel that we have while taking the gym to the next level,” she said in a video. “You’re going to be in such great hands.”
Similar to acac’s offerings, La Maison provides members with a full scope of health and wellness services such as cycling, yoga, barre and aquatic classes, personal training, fitness programs for kids, health and nutrition coaching, recovery and physical therapy services and a shake bar. Acac locations also offer medical wellness programming.
