It started with fitness. It became everything. And what’s next is bigger.

From zebra sightings at NAC Village Farm to the launch of CrossFit and HYROX performance training, from poolside summers to purpose-driven community impact, 2025 was a year that redefined what the Newtown Athletic Club stands for. We didn’t just grow, we expanded into new spaces, experiences, and standards. Fitness, family, events, performance, community, and a NAC doctor came together in a way only the NAC can deliver, reaching more lives, in more ways, than ever before.

And this momentum doesn’t slow, it accelerates. As we step into 2026, we’re building bigger, hotter, stronger, and smarter: a brand-new Hot Studio, an expanded Pilates experience with a new additional studio, and continued evolution across the club. This is more than a recap… it’s a statement. The State of the NAC is strong, bold, and just getting started.

Fitness, Performance & Expansion Across the NAC Campus

In 2025, the NAC campus rose to new heights as HYROX performance classes and CrossFit programming, both included with NAC membership, were introduced, expanding access to elite level training. At the same time, the NAC Performance Institute expanded its footprint and influence, solidifying the club as a true hub for performance and world class training through a powerful partnership with Eddie Alvarez and Underground Kings.

Even everyday moments were elevated. The addition of Shoreline Coffee by Calm Waters brought premium coffee to the center of the club, reinforcing the NAC’s belief that community is built as much between workouts as during them.

Beyond the club walls, fitness extended to the farm through bootcamps, goat yoga, puppy yoga, Mommy and Me classes, and the launch of the Fit Mamas Club, ensuring every stage of life has a place at the NAC.

NAC Village Farm & Growing the Next Generation

Throughout 2025, NAC Village Farm welcomed thousands of families and became a destination for connection, experience, and memory making. Daily summer camps, horseback riding lessons, and a state of the art playground brought families together in new ways.

The farm welcomed goats, Highland cows, and our zebra Victoria, while seasonal experiences like Halloween on the Farm Trail and A Very Village Christmas, with Santa arriving on a tractor, became beloved community traditions. Birthday parties, Camp NAC, and year round kids fitness programming filled both the farm and the club with energy and joy.

Beyond the farm, the NAC mission expanded even further as Discovery Preschools grew into Warrington and beyond, extending the NAC commitment to families and the next generation.

A World First in Fitness: The NAC Welcomes a Doctor

In 2025, the Newtown Athletic Club did something no other club has done by welcoming a doctor.

“If you ever do one thing at the NAC, this is the one thing you should do.” – NAC Owner, Jim Worthington 

With the addition of Medical Director Dr. Meg, the NAC introduced an integrated functional medicine and wellness support model inside the club. Every NAC member now has access to a complimentary Advanced Blood Panel and doctor-led Health Roadmap, providing deeper insight into key health markers and personalized next steps guided by a physician. You can request the labs here!

At the center of this evolution is The Well Lounge, a revolutionary physician-guided med-spa and recovery destination within the NAC. Featuring advanced red light therapy, including the Ammortal Chamber, The Well Lounge is led by the region’s most expert med-spa providers who are redefining the category through cutting-edge services and the true art of medicine. This is science-backed longevity, recovery, and performance care integrated into everyday life.

This work is further strengthened by the NAC’s ongoing partnership with Trinity Health Mid Atlantic and St. Mary Medical Center, creating a powerful bridge between clinical excellence and lifestyle-based wellness. Together, this collaboration enhances care, continuity, and credibility, ensuring members have access to trusted medical expertise alongside their fitness journey.

Fitness, functional medicine, and real support now live under one roof, guided by Dr. Meg.

The future of the Newtown Athletic Club is bold by design, and 2026 marks another defining chapter in the NAC’s evolution. As we look ahead, the campus continues to transform with purpose, scale, and intention. A brand new Hot Studio is being built along Studio Row, introducing a dedicated 1,220 square foot space designed specifically for infrared heated classes, with Hot Yoga as the cornerstone. This studio will deliver a more intense and immersive experience, enhancing flexibility, strength, and recovery while expanding access to one of the most in demand modalities in the industry.

Alongside it, a newly constructed Reformer Pilates Studio will open off the Mind Body wing, expanding the Pilates experience in a significant way. At 1,660 square feet, the new studio will accommodate 50 percent more participants than the existing reformer classes, meeting growing demand while elevating the flow, energy, and accessibility of Pilates across the campus. A striking new glass wall will showcase the Pilates studio from the indoor pool deck, reinforcing the seamless connection between all fitness experiences and the vibrant energy that defines the NAC.

Beyond fitness, the NAC experience continues to expand across the entire ecosystem. A reimagined central hub designed like an upscale hotel lobby will open as the heart of the club, creating a space for gathering, working, and connection. The NAC Performance Institute will also launch a new membership, opening elite training to even more of our community.

At NAC Village Farm, the momentum continues year round. An expanded calendar of family experiences including movie nights, farm to table dinners, and seasonal events across all four seasons will deepen the farm’s role as a place for connection, tradition, and memory making.

Every move is intentional. Every evolution is designed to elevate the NAC member experience.

As part of the Newtown Athletic Club’s long-term vision, another exciting project on the horizon is the addition of a European spa. The term “Eurospa” suggests a blend of traditional European spa traditions with modern wellness practices, aiming to provide a rejuvenating and relaxing experience with a variety of pools. The three unique pools, with hot temperatures and cold plunge temperatures, offer a completely comprehensive recovery approach.

Where charity begins at home. 

We’ve seen firsthand how powerful our community can be when it lifts together through our NAC Have A Heart Foundation.

From supporting local historic organizations… to stepping up for families impacted by hurricanes… to supporting fundraising for a cemetery bus for the honor guard… to creating magical memories for Bucks County at the Newtown Holiday Parade, we are committed to serving our community in meaningful and lasting ways.

Through our widely known 52K in 52 Weeks initiative, the NAC Have a Heart Donation donates over $200,000 annually, contributing $1,000 to $10,000 each week to a different local charity or cause. This ongoing commitment has allowed us to reach deep into our community, proudly supporting hundreds of organizations that make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors… every week, all year long.

We closed out the year the only way the NAC knows how. Together.

From Santa in a Barre class to a Noon Year’s Eve balloon drop and countless moments in between, 2025 ended with joy, energy, and community at the center.

And this is only the beginning.

The State of the NAC is strong, bold, and just getting started.
