Classes
We offer 15 fitness classes a week.
Schedules may vary from month to month.
Equipment Familiarization Class: All our equipment can be confusing, at times pretty intimidating and if you are not using the equipment correctly it can result in an injury to you or damage to the equipment. In order to get you past this obstacle we are offering classes that will show you how to properly utilize the weight and cardiovascular equipment. Call the Fitness Center at 747-3384 to make an appointment with one of our staff members to familiarize yourself with our equipment.
