A Message From Barbara

When I first moved to Cape Cod from Ohio, I was looking for a good gym, but I didn't find one- so I built one.

Before I had a building or equipment, I bought a neon sign in the shape of a heart with “Willy’s” written across the middle- named after my martial arts teacher who inspired me.

Over the years, that heart has stayed with us.  You’ll see it in our logos- because Willy’s has always had heart!

I’ve made mistakes, I’ve weathered storms, but I have never wavered in my commitment to this community- to the people who tell me they’d be lost without Willy’s.

We’ve endured together, and I couldn’t be prouder to say we’re celebrating 40 years of providing this amazing club to you!

Thank you for being a part of Willy's Family.

Here’s to the next 40!

Warmly,

Barbara Niggel

Owner & Founder
