The Clubs at River City has been family-run since 1972 and has served over three generations of members for more than 50 years. Three generations of the O’Connell family run the fitness center, which was started by Lee O’Connell, who opened the doors in 1972 with four tennis courts. The organization notes over 5,200 satisfied customers and describes itself as Peoria’s most complete fitness center, with one membership unlocking the full campus with multiple facilities and programs. It was the first in Peoria to launch senior fitness classes and opened the nation’s first stand-alone youth fitness center. Partnering with local hospitals, Lee O’Connell launched cardiac-rehab and physical-therapy programs, and the organization has hosted charity 5Ks for Family House and St. Jude tennis classics.
