Phase III Renovation Complete!

All 5 courts are re-opened and they look fantastic!  Not only the the courts LOOK better, they ARE better - we are 23% brighter on the courts.  That is innovation....brighter lights without using more electricity.  Now THAT is just what we wanted!

Grand Slammers Tennis Camp at BHS Today

Summer has returned to Bellingham and we will hold the Grand Slammers Tennis Camp at the Bellingham High School tennis courts. The forecast looks very promising for the rest of the week so don't forget your hats, water bottle, and sunscreen.

Grand Slammers Tennis Camp Indoors Today

The Grand Slammers Tennis Camp will be held here at the Bellingham Tennis Club (Monday July 24) due to the wet weather. We are located at 800 McKenzie Ave in Fairhaven. The camp starts at 9am and ends at 12 noon. We will see you where the courts are always dry and we are always getting fit, playing hard, and enjoying life!

Bellingham Herald Features Our Renovations!

Bellingham tennis club owners reinvest in core business

By DAVE GALLAGHER — THE BELLINGHAM HERALD


The most profitable option in business isn't always the best one, and that's something Doug and Robin Robertson have realized with their tennis club.

The Robertsons own Bellingham Tennis Club as well as Fairhaven Fitness at 800 McKenzie Ave. They are in the midst of a major renovation, which includes fixing the roof, resurfacing the tennis courts and improving the lighting. It's a project that will cost more than $200,000 and is expected to be completed at the end of summer. The facility is still in use during the remodel, but a grand re-opening celebration is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 8.

Our Dirtly Little Secret.....behind the curtains.  Yikes!

 Hanging the 1st ceiling section....

 Two ceiling sections done....fantastic!!

If you've ever lived through a construction project, you know that "stuff happens". 

There was a delay in delivery of the new wall insulation so the equipment is now moving

to courts 3, 4, 5 to start on the ceilings. 

Insulation is due to arrive on Wednesday - so our plan now (until it changes again!) is to complete courts 3,4,5 ceilings first, then the walls and then move back to courts 1 & 2 to complete the walls.

You can watch the transformation before your eyes from our viewing in the lobby or when you are working out.

Speaking of working out....we have FREE T-CON (TENNIS CONDITIONING) CLASSES for all of our Tennis Members and FREE GET Fit classes during our construction.  It's a great time to get off the court and work on the other most important part of your game - your fitness.

T-CON
Mon/Wed/Fri 12:00 pm
Tue/Thu  11:00 am
Tue/Thu   4:30 pm

These 45 minute training sessions will help you become stronger, faster, and more resiliant.  Want that?  Give it a try!

Thanks for your patience and understanding during our construction!
Robin Robertson
Owner
