Behind the Eight Winds project
Planting the vision
Eight Winds, a Garden Style Community in St. Augustine, FL, was the first project between Advantage Sport & Fitness and Altis Cardinal, a multifamily developer based in Florida, Texas, and Nevada.
They were looking for more than a standard amenity. From the start, the development manager, Will Martin, emphasized fitness as a priority, pushing for excellence in equipment and programming.
Their stand-alone clubhouse provided us with the opportunity to collaborate in creating a space focused on enhancing resident wellness. Given the growing importance of competitive amenities in the industry, the demand among renters continues to rise. This strategic approach was a smart move for Altis Cardinal and the Eight Winds community.

Growth in partnership
Altis Cardinal sought a professional design and layout that was also welcoming and accessible 24/7 to residents. The design process moved with purpose, ensuring every detail aligned with the vision for a sophisticated, luxury space. The result was a thoughtfully designed fitness amenity that not only met high standards but also felt like home to residents.
With guidance from Advantage VP, John Marcotte, Eight Winds executed a strategic plan to shape a space that embodies this vision. John’s expertise in strategic equipment selection, combined with his deep understanding of functional layout and passion for fitness, played a key role in the success of this project.

Strength in bloom
Premium cardio and strength equipment from Precor add versatility to the gym, appealing to exercisers of all levels and allowing them to progress their workouts. The Escape functional frame and dumbbells up to 75 lbs. provide serious athletes with elevated training options that go beyond the standard gym setup.
The gym at Eight Winds also added a more secluded room, offering residents a private space for workouts or even a yoga practice.
Another major highlight is the inclusion of Peloton bikes, positioned to offer a stunning outdoor view— creating an enjoyable and immersive riding experience.
The combination of thoughtful components has truly been a win for Eight Winds.
