INDIANAPOLIS --  A north side sports club is closing its doors after 21 years of business.

Five Seasons Family Sports Club, located at 1300 East 96th Street, will cease operations on September 30.

The facility employs 84 people including roles in tennis, fitness, pool, child care, maintenance and housekeeping, according to documents filed with the state.

According to a statement provided to RTV6, the Carmel Monon Center and other low-cost fitness facilities “had their effect over time" on the facility.

The property was rezoned to a high density office use, and parent company Corporex, plans to market it for redevelopment.

“It has been a wonderful experience we have had knowing and serving the great people of Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Meridian Hills and others in the greater community,” Thomas Deer, COO of Five Seasons said.

Here's the full statement from Five Seasons:
