25 Years of Inspiration
1981-2006 |
March 27th, 1981 Juanita Bay Athletic Club opened its doors. What started
as a one club operation and exploratory business opportunity for founder, owner
and operator, Cy Oskoui, progressed into a 25-year success story in the making.
Cy found his calling, as a result made a commitment to bring health and wellness
to his community.
Cy and wife, Feryal Oskoui, daughter Farnaz Farringer and son Allen Oskoui
immigrated to the United States in 1978. After two years of researching
professional opportunities, Cy recognized an emerging market that hadn’t
been explored: wellness. After which, Cy made a commitment
and designed,
developed and opened the Juanita Bay Athletic Club now know as Columbia Athletic
Club at Juanita Bay.
Today, Columbia Athletic Clubs owns and operates multiple
wellness sites, providing the following services:
 |
Fitness |
|
Aquatics |
|
Racquet sports |
|
Youth and adult programs |
|
Basketball |
|
Golf |
|
Spa treatments |
|
Group exercise, yoga and pilates. |

Columbia Athletic Clubs operates within an industry
that has sustained constant growth over the 25-year history. At first glance,
athletic clubs, fitness centers and wellness providers offer many similar products.
A building, equipment and many duplicated services and facilities directly
competing with one another. The competitive advantage that Cy has developed
over time is his constant investment in the most important asset: his workforce.
Columbia Athletic Clubs knows its reputation is in the hands of the individuals
hired to serve its members and takes pride in knowing we hire the best our
industry has to offer.
Columbia Athletic Clubs looks forward to another 25 years as it constantly
explores new opportunities to improve its members lives by tirelessly driving
to be the best provider of health and wellness in all the communities in which
we operate.
Thank you for your continued support and patronage; our success would not
have been possible without your continued support.
We appreciate you and your commitment to our passion in improving the lifestyles
of the communities in which we serve.
Yours in health,
Columbia Athletic Clubs staff and the Oskoui Family
