With assistance from a courteous and dedicated staff, they can create and carry out a personal health and fitness program to achieve their long-term goals. Membership is open to all area residents 15 years and older. Those who sign up for an annual membership also have use of the college's Olympic size swimming pool.
The Fitness Center offers a wide array of aerobic machines including a StairMaster, elliptical machines, stationary bicycles, treadmills and an arc trainer. Among the Center's equipment is a string weight training circuit that includes cable crossover, leg press, glute machine, chest press and assisted dip/ chin, plus a Smith machine. Free weight equipment includes benches, kettlebells and dumbbells.
Members are issued a card that must be presented to enter the Fitness Center and for use of the locker rooms, which are open during Fitness Center hours.
