By Lexi MooreResidents in Hills may have noticed the red and blue writing on the windows of the old Hills Home Store on Main Street. It now says, "Around the Clock Fitness and Tanning," and the writing on the windows was the first indication that the building had changed owners.The building was purchased by Stacen and Donna Burgers in May with the intent of opening a 24-hour fitness and tanning center.Donna had been thinking of opening her own business for the past three years and thought the building was perfect for her plans."I have always wanted my own gym and when this building came up for sale, I thought it would be the perfect size and location for a fitness center," said Donna. "After telling Stacen my idea, he immediately took it and ran with it."The Burgers have never owned a business before but are enjoying the process of starting one in their hometown.They said they plan "to provide a safe and clean environment with excellent equipment and to have a positive impact on all who use our facility."Around the Clock Fitness and Tanning will offer a unique and new opportunity for residents in the area. Individuals and families who sign up to be members at the facility will have access to the building on a 24-hour basis.After signing up for a tanning, fitness or combined membership, members will be given a Personal Identification Number that they can enter into a key pad at the front of the building. A valid PIN will grant members access through the front door of the building. The PIN will give members the ability to use the facility anytime, day or night.The Burgers said they have spent a great deal of time on security to ensure members are safe and feel secure while using the Around the Clock building.Surveillance cameras have been installed throughout the building and will be regulated by the owners. The business is registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State office. In addition, the Burgers will be in and out of the building throughout the week.If members have concerns or problems, the owners encourage members to discuss the situations with them.The fitness center in the building will be equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, individual cybex machines for the lower and upper body, a Smith machine, Preacher curl machine, back extension machine, ab crunch station, dumbbells, knee raise-dip machine and more.The tanning facility will feature a Sun Vision bed by Wolf Tanning that will have 32 bulbs. Tanning sessions will be available for up to 20 minutes at one time.Work on the building has been steadily progressing for the past couple of weeks and should continue throughout May. If equipment continues to arrive on schedule, the Burgers hope to open by June 1.They are offering a 10-percent discount on annual memberships from now until their grand opening on June 11.Residents interested in becoming members can call Stacen or Donna at 962-3790, 605-929-6506 or email burgers@alliancecom.net.
