Where
exactly is your club located?
The
new Mid-Cape Racquet & Health Club is located on the north side of Pine
Island Road between Chiquita Boulevard and Skyline Boulevard. The club's
entrance fronts onto Ceitus Terrace and our address is:
1300 Ceitus Terrace Cape Coral, FL 33991
Why
did you choose Cape Coral?
We wanted to bring the
combination racquet-sports and health club concept to Southwest Florida. After
several years of research in the area, it was evident that Cape Coral provided a
"land of opportunity". There are no soft tennis courts in the area, and
when the land for our project was purchased in the Fall of
2002, Cape Coral's total population was almost 125,000. According to
numbers from the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral, the city's total population
as of September 2004 is almost 158,000. That's a 24% increase!
What is your targeted opening
date?
WE ARE NOW COMPLETELY OPEN! We planned to have tennis ready before the end of
the Summer of 2004, however, the 2004 hurricane season had
plans of its own! We opened for tennis in mid-October of that year, thus living up to our slogan, "Serving up
tennis in Cape Coral for 2004"! We began our building
construction in November 2005 and recently opened the remainder of the fitness
facility in
mid-October of
2006.
Who built your tennis
courts?
Welch Tennis Courts, Inc.
built the 10 Har-Tru®, fast dry tennis courts at our Mid-Cape
Racquet and Health Club in Cape Coral. Welch's quality and reputation
makes them the premier tennis court builder in the country today. Welch
was named "Tennis Court Builder of the Year" in 2001 by Tennis Industry
Magazine, built four of the top nine soft-court facilities in the country (2003
- Tennis Industry Magazine), and is consistently recognized by the USTA, USPTA,
and the Tennis Court and Track Builders Association for their quality
installations.
What can you tell me about
your tennis courts?
All 10 tennis courts were
built using Welch's patented HydroGrid® technology. Using a fast dry Har-Tru®
surface along with the HydroGrid® sub-surface irrigation ensures a uniform and
controlled wetness throughout the court. In most cases, these courts will be
playable within an hour or so following a torrential rainfall, which is more
than quite common to our area in Florida! We have five 2-court batteries.
Most of the perimeter fencing on each battery is 10 feet high with
windscreens, and have diagonal-cut corners. Each 2-court battery has an eight
by sixteen foot canopy with benches and a stainless steel water cooler. Lastly,
all courts are lit for night play using
Techlight's tournament lighting
configuration. This layout means that each court has eight 1000 watt
halide lights evenly distributed around the court for tournament level playing
conditions. The lighting is consistent throughout. No "hot" spots and no
shadows. We know that you'll love playing on these courts!

What can you tell us about
the health club facilities and the amenities it has?
Our
18,000 square foot building features a full health club facility, including
two racquetball/squash courts with a moveable back wall, variable
resistance circuit training equipment, cardio-vascular exercise equipment, and a
separate free-weight training area. Three group exercise studios will be used for
aerobics classes, Pilates, body sculpting, cycling and exercise activities. Other
services are to include personal training, physical therapy, and licensed massage
therapists. Amenities will

steam rooms, and a whirlpool overlooking the tennis courts. A pro shop,
smoothie
bar, and tennis court viewing area are only a few of the additional highlights
that will enhance this ultra-modern facility.
I've heard there is another
Mid-Cape Racquet & Health Club?
The concept of Mid-Cape Racquet & Health
Club, LLC of Cape Coral is modeled after another club, owned and operated by the
Majewski family since 1977. So,
Suzanne's family has been in the
tennis & fitness business for 30 years, having run
the Mid-Cape Racquet & Health Club in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod
(the "other" Cape). Suzanne's parents, Gene and Carrol Majewski, purchased
the club in 1977. At that time it had six indoor tennis courts. Over
the years, the club has evolved into a full service racquet-sports and health
club with nine indoor tennis courts, one racquetball court and one squash court.
The health and fitness center includes aerobics, Nautilus® circuit training,
cardiovascular equipment, free weights, and specialized classes including
Pilates, Spinning, and Body Pump. They also offer services like personal
training, body composition analysis, tanning, and massage. The club has
been run by Suzanne's parents, her brothers Mike Majewski and Bob Majewski.
It is currently
run by her brother Bob Majewski and his wife Vickie Burke-Majewski.

What can you tell us about
the owner/operators?
The Cape Coral, Florida club
is owned and operated by the Mid-Cape Racquet & Health Club, LLC's Managing Members,
Bob and Suzanne Lynch. Bob and Suzanne moved from Andover,
Massachusetts
in 2004 and have re-located to Cape Coral to run Mid-Cape. In addition to running this
great business, they are now closer to family who live Fort Myers.
With our extensive business
background, industry knowledge, and the family's expertise in the industry, you
can see why we expect Mid-Cape to be a great success. We are especially
excited to be part of the
Cape Coral community while providing you with unparalleled service.
