About the Facility
The Welcoming Center contains the control desk from which all center information is given, member sign-ins, towels and locker keys. Babysitting services are provided for a small fee during specified hours. A lounge and vending area is available for after-workout relaxation. Our modern locker room facilities also contain hot/dry saunas and massage therapy by appointment.
The Fitness Center contains a three-lane banked track with a cushioned surface for walking or jogging. The track surrounds the fitness area which contains weight training machines, free weights, and a wide variety of cardiovascular equipment such as treadmills, steppers, bikes and rowers.
Our gymnasium area houses a wide variety of recreational and fitness programs such as basketball, volleyball, group fitness and stretch classes. The gym floor is made of the finest maple hardwood with a special flex system to lesson impact on body joints. A state-of-the-art sound system keeps group fitness classes moving.
The Aquatics Center contains two pools, a 25-meter, 4-lane lap pool and a 20x25-foot therapy pool used for injury therapy, rehabilitation and arthritis classes. The pools are operated at different temperatures to accommodate different needs.
