East Bank Club’s Micro-Farms bring life to the Market!

East Bank Club is dedicated to transforming health and wellness! That's why they've started growing their own produce right here at the club, using sustainable agriculture practices. This means you can enjoy fresh, nutrient-rich produce right where you work out or relax!

You'll find the “homegrown” produce in The Juice Bar, The Grill, and The Sundeck, adding a healthy boost to all your meals. Plus, you can take some of this goodness home with you - produce is also available for purchase at The Market!

Did you know? Having good circulation improves oxygen delivery to your heart, brain, and muscles which keeps you performing better, decreases muscle cramping, allows you to stay focused longer and decreases stress while exercising.

Consuming iron-rich foods, such as leafy greens, can help increase your red blood cell count and increase oxygen delivery and endurance!
