Weight Training
Our facilities offer cardiovascular, weight resistance, and free weight equipment at a great value. Short weight training sessions several times a week are more practical than are extended daily workouts. "You don't have to be in the weight room for 90 minutes a day to see results.


Cardiovascular Area
The cardio area contains numerous treadmills and stationary bikes, along with a separate area for machine-free workouts and a spinning room. There are also televisions with FM transmitters that allow you to listen to the televisions through headphones. There is something for individuals of all fitness levels. Anyone using this equipment must be age 13 or older unless special permission is granted.

Exercise Orientation/Intro to Fitness Equipment
