It has been a year since Amarillo College’s FirstBank Southwest Center opened its doors to offer a range wellness, exercise and recreational opportunities to everyone in the community, and the “new” has not yet come close to wearing off.

In fact, quite the opposite is actually the case.

“When we get new members in here even now, they love the fact that it’s so fresh and clean and new, that it’s not crowded, and that we have such great workout equipment, gymnasiums and locker rooms,” said Craig Clifton, AC’s executive director of enrichment and wellness.
