“I recently joined Sawmill Athletic Club, 38 years ago. Quality place with excellent staff and members. I do have 2 complaints. First is they took out one of the best little bars in town and replaced it with a hospital cafeteria. My second complaint is they changed the name. Sawmill Athletic Club (SAC) sounds much better.”
“I love Premier at Sawmill Athletic Club, and have been a member for MANY years, I think since 1992? It is a big part of my life.I have been going 5 days a week in the morning to swim laps, do Body Pump and Yoga classes. The friends I have made there are priceless!”
“Premier at Sawmill has to be the cleanest health club in the city. Even before COVID sanitization it was spotless, and now is even more. I love the new lap pool reservation system. They're doing all they can to keep everyone safe. Good job everyone!”

“I visited Sawmill the other day to give office a doc excuse, all went fine but was disappointed that office workers did not have mask on and the gal checking memberships did not either. People leaving the facility did not have one on also. I was happy I had a dr. excuse. I guess the new mandate from the governor will change this. I'm not so sure that everyone is staying 6ft. apart. I really do miss coming . Just saying.”
“I assume that Premier will be giving a refund for the time it was closed down and if not, why not? Thanks Bill”
“I like the fact the workout equipment is frequently updated. The men’s steam room has left much to be desired. Over the years it has not been operational far too often.”
