Amenities Abound in Coastal Commons

Within Coastal Commons in the Coastal Links neighborhood, work resumed earlier this year on several amenities projects that will enhance the Shell Point experience, including expanding Seagrape Salon & Spa and transforming the restaurant space into a new dining venue called “Vue.” Another exciting addition within Coastal Commons has the potential to make a huge impact on residents’ health and well-being: The Wright Wellness Center.

“With this new amenity, Shell Point is re-envisioning its approach to resident health and wellness,” said Jason Smith,

Senior Director of Amenities. “Centralizing our fitness operations within our 700-acre campus allows us to be more intentional with our programming and lead residents on their journey to a balanced lifestyle.”

The LifeQuest Track Program will be the center of the wellness community.

“Through collaboration with Shell Point’s industry-leading resources, this advanced approach promotes healthy well-being and functional longevity by offering evidence-based lifestyle interventions to help prevent, manage and treat lifestyle-related chronic diseases,” said Jason. “It’s an integrative plan designed to empower residents to optimize the highest level of health and well-being.”

There will also be an array of services including medical consultation, personalized nutritional and dietary services, meal preparation kits, self-assessment resources and a wellness resource library, sports performance training, balance assessments, and the Parkinson’s Rock Steady Boxing program.

“Our goal is to set the industry standard in wellness programming and create a way for Shell Point residents to live a healthy and balanced life,” said Jason.

The new 7,000-squarefoot Wright Wellness Center will feature 48 pieces of fitness equipment for resident use—including nine pieces from Technogym’s BIOCIRCUIT ™ line— which will allow residents to personalize workouts to achieve their specific strength and cardio fitness goals. Using a special wristband or smartphone, residents can tailor their exercise experience through a guided circuit-training program, with no adjustments to the equipment.

Shell Point’s Fitness Team will be available to demonstrate the new equipment and explain how residents can incorporate the technology into their exercise routines.

Two Group Fitness rooms designed for classes and a wide range of aerobic exercise will also be available in the Wright Wellness Center, with more than 150 offerings per month, as well as Personal Training. There will also be new technology for golfers to assess and improve their swing, with a TrackMan golf simulator on the first floor, across from the Pro Shop.

The salon experience at Shell Point will also be elevated. Seagrape Salon & Spa will be enhanced with an updated look and feel. Capacity in the hair salon will be doubled, while nail services will be offered in a semi-private area. Along with the addition of a third spa treatment room, a new private waiting area will offer direct access to the locker rooms.

Upstairs, Vue, which was renamed from the Banyan Grille, will offer a fresh new menu along with signature sunset views. “The space will embody an elegant, casual feel with lighter wood-look floors, along with new lighting and artwork,” said Lori Wegman, of Wegman Design Group, which has created many beautiful Shell Point spaces such as the Welcome Center, the Larsen Health Center, and other common areas throughout the community.

Vue will also offer flexibility for Shell Point’s dining team to feature seasonal specials, present display cooking events, and host holiday celebrations.

Stayed tuned to SPTV for construction updates and more information about the LifeQuest Track Program as completion nears on these wonderful enhancements and additions in Coastal Commons.
