Fitness Room

The fitness center spans 13,500 square feet of an air-conditioned, naturally lit area, featuring several pieces of state-of-the-art fitness equipment.  This area was not part of the original recreation center constructed in 1998.  Due to its popularity and high volume of usage, the recreation department initiated a renovation project.  In 2005, this area became the new addition to the recreation center.  Since then, the fitness center has remained an integral part of our residents’ weekly exercise routines for over 20 years now.  Whether you consider yourself a beginner in exercise or an advanced weight lifter, we off fitness equipment for every individual.  Fitness equipment includes, but not limited to, the following pieces of equipment.
