Fort Gratiot · Tanning

Level 4 and 5 tanning, ten minutes from Fort Gratiot

Blue Water Fitness is a 24-hour gym at 3329 Dove Rd in Port Huron, about ten minutes south of the 24th Avenue stretch. We are not in Fort Gratiot and we are not a salon. What we have is a Level 4 lay-down bed and a Level 5 stand-up, in their own room off the gym floor — and they come inside the membership instead of being sold by the package.

Ten minutes down from the north end. We are at 3329 Dove Rd, behind Redline Auto Repair — the gym has one location and this is it. Directions from Fort Gratiot

What a package costs, and what this costs instead

If you tan through the spring you are probably buying a package, then buying another one when it runs out. Here the beds are not a product. They are part of the membership, on every plan, and there is no separate tanning card on file and nothing metered at the counter.

  • $25 a month on the 12-month plan, beds included
  • $40 month to month, no agreement, beds included
  • $10 day pass in the app, beds included
  • $20 for a week or $30 for two weeks, beds included, nothing renews

A Level 4 lay-down and a Level 5 stand-up

One of each: the Level 5 stand-up, which is faster and easiest on your back, and the Level 4 lay-down for a longer session and a deeper base. Both are in their own room, off the gym floor. Lotion is at the counter, and the desk sets the length of your first few sessions rather than letting you guess at a Level 5.

The months people actually drive down for

February is when packages renew, and March through May is one continuous run of dated reasons to have a base — a vacation, a wedding, a photo you will keep. Come a few weeks before the date rather than the week of, start in the stand-up booth, and build to it. Short passes exist for exactly that: a week is $20 and two weeks is $30.

The gym comes with it, if you want it

You do not have to use the floor and plenty of people never do. But the same app that opens the tanning rooms opens a free-weight floor, a row of treadmills and ellipticals and locker rooms with private showers, at any hour, for the same twenty-five dollars.

Everything about the beds is on the tanning page, and the full rate board is on the home page.

Fort Gratiot questions

Questions from Fort Gratiot

How far is Blue Water Fitness from Fort Gratiot?
About ten minutes south. The gym is at 3329 Dove Rd in Port Huron, behind Redline Auto Repair. There is no Fort Gratiot location — one building, and that is it.
Do I need a gym membership to tan at Blue Water Fitness?
No. A $10 day pass in the app includes the tanning beds, with nothing to sign. If you tan more than about twice a month, the $25 membership costs less and includes the beds too.
Is tanning an extra charge on top of the membership?
No. Level 4 and Level 5 tanning is included on every plan, from the $25-a-month membership to month to month, the week passes and the day pass. There is no separate tanning package and no second card on file.
Do you sell tanning packages or minutes?
No, and that is the point. Nothing is metered. Once you are a member the beds are part of what you already pay for.
Can I tan without ever using the gym floor?
Yes. Plenty of members come in for the beds and nothing else. Nobody will push you toward the floor.
When should I come for a first session?
During desk hours, so someone can set your session length before you start. Level 4 and 5 beds are strong and the most common mistake is treating the first visit like the tenth. Call (810) 772-6568 if you are not sure who is in.

Come up and see it before you decide anything. Tours are free and take about twenty minutes.
