Construction of the Dexter Wellness Center continues at 2810 Baker Road, behind the Dexter Pharmacy. It is set to open June 1.

The Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation, a tax-exempt private foundation, will operate the 46,000-square-foot facility, which is expected to employ more than 100 people.

"The Dexter Wellness Center will take an integrated approach to fitness, wellness and health," said Amy Heydlauff, the foundation's executive director, in a press release.

Everyone who joins the center will receive a fitness assessment and personalized exercise plan. There will be certified personal trainers and fitness instructors on staff as well as massage therapists.

The center will offer a variety of programming including group exercise and aquatics classes for all ages, and special exercise programs for weight loss as well as for orthopedic and cardiac conditions.

The center will have modern circuit and free-weight training equipment, an indoor walking and running track, a lap pool and warm water therapy pool, a basketball court and equipment such as treadmills, bikes and ellipticals.
