About The Facility
The ZAP Fitness Center is a state-of-the-art facility located on 68 acres in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, just outside of Blowing Rock. Our main building houses our resident elite athletes and corporate offices as well as an exercise physiology lab for VO2max and Lactate Threshold testing, a full weight training facility, and dining area. Across the breezeway our visitors and guests stay in our lodge which offers housing for up to 24 people in double and single rooms.

Outside you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of the Blackberry Valley. You can relax on our covered deck or take a soak in the hot tub and for those of you with sore legs, take a dip in the cool headwaters to the Yadkin River.

A fifteen minute drive will take you to the quaint mountain village of Blowing Rock which offers great shops and restaurants and the 26 miles of carriage trails at Moses Cone Park. 

In the area you can hike the many trails off the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit Grandfather Mountain, bike the Blue Ridge Parkway or check out the small towns that make up the High Country. In the winter enjoy skiing at Appalachian, Beach or Sugar Mountain, but make sure you have 4 wheel drive. When you've had your fill of the outdoors you can stop at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Blowing Rock for a little shopping.

Rates and Availability

The ZAP fitness Facility is open for use from March through November. Our location is ideal for all kinds of group retreats or getaways. The mountains are a popular place to visit during the hot summer months as well as during the fall when the foliage is in full color. In the past we have had a number of high school and college teams come to ZAP for post-season and pre-season training camps as well as corporate retreats, church retreats, weekend getaways for a group of friends and triathlon and cycling camps.

We do offer lunch and dinner prepared by our chef to groups of 10 or more.

We will do our best to accomodate any special dietary needs but it is important that we let our chef know ahead of time so please contact us. Some requests may require additional costs.

Please call for rates and availability.
