Renowned US Squash Champion and Hall of Fame Member, Demer Holleran, has just opened her own squash and fitness club—The Fairmount Athletic Club. Located northwest of Philadelphia in King of Prussia, PA, the Fairmount sports 12 international singles courts and two hardball doubles courts (with a U-shape configuration such that the two doubles courts are flanked by four softball courts). Two of the other 4 softball courts have movable side walls, making it convenient to convert to regulation softball doubles courts.
The Fairmount also offers three exercise studios for classes, juice bar and café, wireless internet, a daycare, and free clinics to those new to squash. Oh, and of course steam, sauna and lounge in both locker rooms.
The Grand Opening was held in mid-June, and Holleran expects to have five teaching pros by the end of the summer. Joining Holleran (Squash Director), are Orla O’Doherty (Asst. Squash Dir.), Jacques Swanepoel (South Africa and Trinity College), Wasim Khan (coming soon from England) and Dent Wilkens (arriving in August from Princeton).
