Mt. Hood Athletic Club

Mt. Hood Athletic Club (MHAC) has a rich history of transformation and growth, beginning in 1987 when founders Paul and Lila Reed revitalized a failing 17,000-square-foot facility in Gresham. Their success led to the 8,000-square-foot "Shape it Up Shack" acquisition in Sandy, Oregon, which they expanded into a thriving 50,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center. The new facility opened in December 2006, featuring various amenities including indoor pools, racquetball courts, a fitness center, a spinning studio, a basketball gym, and a café. MHAC is committed to providing an inclusive and vibrant environment where members can achieve their fitness goals and build community connections.

MHAC is dedicated to sustainability and energy efficiency, incorporating state-of-the-art technology to optimize operations and reduce environmental impact. The club uses a computerized monitoring system from Kite Industries to control energy-efficient LED lighting, HVAC units, and a rooftop weather system that manages indoor climate. The facility's advanced pool area design, in partnership with the Energy Trust of Oregon, includes energy-efficient pumps, a UV sterilization system, and improved air circulation for a healthier and more enjoyable environment. MHAC’s mission is to offer a welcoming space that fosters health, fitness, and well-being, while continuously evolving to meet the needs of its members and the Sandy community.
