As part of its year-long 10th anniversary celebration, Body Zone Sports and Wellness Complex will make several renovations to its Spring Township facility. The biggest investment will come in the form of new turf for the complex’s two indoor fields.

The project has begun and the new fields are expected to be completed before June 1. Participants in Body Zone’s popular Summer Adventure Camp, summer soccer camps, summer soccer leagues, summer field hockey and summer flag football will be the first to use the new fields.

“In 10 years over 25,000 soccer games and countless other programs have taken place on our fields,” said Ted Kolva, General Manager of Body Zone. “To not only replace the fields, but also to give the entire sports and ice complex a facelift, is a great way to celebrate our anniversary and rededicate ourselves to being the hub of active lifestyles in Berks County.”

Sprinturf, based in Wayne, Pa. will install the fields which will be made of their Ultrablade DF system. Ultrablade DF’s parallel and monofilament yarn greatly reduce infill fly out. In other words, more of those black rubber pellets stay in the field.

Like Body Zone, Sprinturf has been serving athletes of all ages and skill levels for years. Since 1998, they’ve designed, created and installed safe, high-performance synthetic playing surfaces in over 500 locations throughout the country. That includes Body Zone’s original fields.

Sprinturf fields are designed with the biomechanics of athletes in mind to maximize both safety and performance. Variables such as grip, traction, release, footing, impact and cushioning are all considered in the manufacturing of the turf.

Additional renovation projects
In addition to installing two brand new Sprinturf synthetic fields, Body Zone will also make several other upgrades throughout the facility:

• Boards surrounding fields restored
• Netting around fields improved
• Floors around fields refinished
• Player bench areas on fields cleaned and painted
• New nets for goals on fields
• Both ice rink surfaces melted down and redone
• Boards surrounding rinks restored
• Player bench areas in ice rinks cleaned and painted
• Sound system tune up

On top of all of the construction projects customers can look forward to bodyzonesports.com having a brand new look that’s easier to navigate, more informative and promotes easy online registration for the facilities many programs.

Programs to benefit from new turf
Body Zone’s Sprinturf fields have and will continue to be used for soccer, field hockey, flag football, lacrosse, baseball, tot programs, camps and more.
