Wellness Center Orientations
Appointments are encouraged for all of our new members and guest to learn to use any of the cardiovascular equipment and circuit machines in our Wellness Center. The best way to schedule an appointment is to do so either in person in the Wellness Center with one of the Fitness Staff or by calling the Wellness Center at 847-9200 ext.119.

In 2006 we purchased a unique line of circuit strength equipment called Strive® Smart Strength™. Because members and guests may not be familiar with how to properly use these machines, we ask that everyone sign up for an orientation on this equipment prior to using it on their own.

Wellness Center Protocol

For safety reasons, we restrict the use of the Wellness Center to individuals who are 10 years and older.
New members are required to schedule an Orientation session to learn how to use the Strive® Smart Strength™ and other equipment in our Wellness Center.
Please follow the circuit etiquette, following the circuit stations sequentially.
There is a 30-minute time limit on all Cardio equipment (treadmills, bikes, Precors, ellipiicals, etc.) when others are waiting or during our high volume times.
Please wipe down equipment after use. Paper towels and spray bottles are provided for your convenience.
If the Cardio equipment is full, please use the sign up boards located next to the equipment. Be sure to write your name and the time that you sign up. During busy times, our Fitness Staff ensure that all members follow this procedure.
