About Saco Sports & Fitness

In 1993 the club was purchased by Scott Gillespie, the current Owner and General Manager. About a year later, the club was the destroyed in a fire. It took a year, a month, and a day to see the club redesigned, reequipped, and rebuilt to open again in 1995. Since then Saco Sport & Fitness has been met with rave reviews, steadily grown, and done three major expansions and renovations. We currently serve over 4000 Members a year, and we’re not done yet!

We are β€œMaine’s most comfortable club” and spend a lot of our energies creating a welcoming environment that supports all people on their journey to health, happiness and vitality. We believe β€œMoving makes life better” so we offer many programs to make getting active easier! We also believe β€œMoving together makes life great!” so many of our programs involve bringing our members together to enjoy being active in classes and groups!

We know people wanting to add healthy activities to their lives will be more successful with a support system, so we offer programs that provide motivation, education, and inspiration. We measure success by our Members’ outcomes, not just by how many people we serve.

Scott is very active in the Health & Fitness industry, speaking nationally and internationally on successful member programming. He has been featured in industry publications and consults with independent clubs. He has served on industry Boards of Directors, shaping the industry’s future, including chairing the National Industry Public Policy Committee, creating legislation and lobbying on Capitol Hill on the industry’s behalf. He currently serves on the Biddeford-Saco Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and on the Genavix HealthyCare Advisory Board working to connect health clubs with medical and corporate wellness initiatives.

Saco Sport & Fitness serves varied communities of healthy-minded people.
