If you’re looking for a place to move, unwind, eat well, and enjoy Boone without bouncing around town, Deer Valley Athletic Club has it all in one spot. Tennis in the morning, poolside in the afternoon, and a great meal in between—it’s all here, with mountain air and familiar faces all around.
Here’s how to plan a full adult day at Deer Valley that feels like a getaway without ever leaving Boone.
Deer Valley Athletic Club is a family-friendly – and focused – environment with fitness classes, a full gym, pools, tennis, pickleball, and much more for all ages. Join today or learn more.
1. Morning Tennis or Gym Session
Start your day with some movement. Deer Valley has indoor tennis courts open year-round and outdoor courts available in-season (check availability ahead of time). Whether you’re joining a clinic, booking a court, or setting up a private lesson, mornings tend to be the best time to hit the court.
Prefer weights over rackets? The fitness center has everything you need for a solid solo workout, including cardio machines, free weights, and functional training space. It’s quiet, clean, and never overcrowded.
2. Refuel with a Smoothie or Coffee at the Club
After a workout, head to the club’s restaurant and order something light and energizing. The breakfast menu rotates seasonally, but you’ll often find:
- Protein smoothies
- Fresh-brewed local coffee
Grab a seat at a picnic table, or settle into the lounge area inside—it’s calm, casual, and a great place to take a breath.
3. Mid-Morning Group Classes
If you’re in the mood for a second round of movement—or prefer classes to solo workouts—check out the day’s fitness class schedule. Deer Valley offers:
- Yoga for stretching and recovery
- Spin for fast-paced cardio
- Pilates to strengthen your core
- Circuit and strength classes for a full-body challenge
All classes are led by certified instructors who are part of the community, and the environment is welcoming, not intimidating.
4. Pool Time: Indoor or Outdoor
Midday is the perfect time to take a break and cool off. Deer Valley has a heated indoor pool open year-round, great for laps or a quiet float. In the warmer months, the outdoor pool becomes a social hub, with shaded seating, towel service, and drink options.
Want to relax with a book? There’s plenty of space to spread out and soak up some sun while enjoying a book.
5. Slow Down with Sauna, Steam, or Wellness Services
Looking for something slower-paced in the afternoon? The sauna and steam rooms are a quiet spot to recharge, or you can book one of the wellness services available at the club. Popular options include:
- Massage therapy
- Assisted stretch or nutritional counseling
Everything is local, personal, and geared toward helping you feel your best.
6. Stay for Lunch or Wind Down with Friends
Lunch at the club is laid-back and delicious. Many members and guests stick around after their workout or pool session to enjoy the restaurant menu, which includes:
- Wraps and hearty salads
- Burgers, seasonal specials, and appetizers
- Local beer, wine, and refreshing drinks
The dining space is welcoming to solo diners, friends, or groups. No need to dress up—just bring your appetite.
