As we transition into this second pandemic shut down, we want you to know we are here for you. Exercise is crucial in our fight against this virus. Thus, we will continue to offer virtual programming throughout the shutdown.
Please know, by selecting virtual programming and maintaining an active membership during this shutdown, you will help support our employees during this holiday season. Our employees are the lifeline of the Center, the faces you see when you visit, and the team that is continuously supporting you on all stages of your fitness journey.

For members who were billed on December 1st and do not choose virtual, we will apply nineteen days of the December payment towards your January dues.

All billing will resume when we reopen on January 4th, prorated for the month, and the credit from December will be applied.
