FITNESS CLASSES
HOW TO JOIN?
All fitness classes operate as a $5 drop-in for each class. You do not need to be a member of the Community Center to participate in the fitness classes.
SILVER SNEAKERS?
If you are a Silver Sneakers member at the Community Center, you are eligible for 1 FREE fitness class per week. Any additional classes will be a $5 drop in. Please check in at the front desk prior to class.
ARE YOU NEW?
If you have never been to the Community Center before we have a short, one-time, info/waiver form for you to complete when you arrive so we can create an account for you, but after that you will just pay the $5 upon arrival and you're good to go!
