A Difficult Announcement — The Kids Room Is Closing
Dear Thrive Families,
It is with a very heavy heart that I share a difficult decision we have had to make.. After more than 16 years, our Kids Room will be closing effective August 31, 2026.
For so many of us, the Kids Room has been much more than a place for children to spend time while their parents worked out. It has been part of the fabric of our Community. Over the years, we have watched little ones grow from babies and toddlers into big kids—and some of those children have even come back as young adults. We have celebrated birthdays, made friendships, comforted tears, shared countless laughs, and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.
I know this announcement may be disappointing, and I want you to know that this decision was not made lightly. After 16+ years, closing something that has been such an important part of Thrive is incredibly difficult. But sometimes, as a small business owner, difficult decisions have to be made to ensure the continued strength and future of the community we have worked so hard to build.
Most importantly, thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your children. Thank you for allowing our staff to be part of their lives. And thank you for making Thrive Community Fitness more than just a gym. You have made it a community, and the Kids Room has been a special part of that story for more than a decade and a half.
While this chapter is coming to an end, the memories—and the relationships created along the way—will always be part of Thrive.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Tanya
Owner, Thrive Community Fitness Maple Valley
